There's strong evidence we're getting another episode of Game Changer this season too. In that art of Sam as the magician there's a 13th card up his sleeve. SECRETS
Mice and Murder was probably the best mini-series so far, though I think the last episode took a kick in the nuts when someone did something just so dumb and pointless in the finale that it felt like Brennan came close to losing his joie de vivre. Still, enjoyable.
Have skipped ahead to Starstruck Odyssey, which is immediately engaging in a way that none of the mini-series with guest casts have been so far. The group is just very good at this by now.
At least it's connected in name to Gal Gun now?.... I'm not sure whether that's an improvement or not.
I've found some of the little interactions with rescuees after the level bosses amusing though. Like the girl who is totally not a demon. I guess that's all connected to gal gun "lore" or something?

Neverafter has been firing on all cylinders for me
I really liked The Seven and Misfits and Magic. All the ones set in Spyre (fantasy high land) are great. I still haven't seen Mice and Murder or season 2 of unsleeping city. The zoom call thing turned me off a bit. Probably still worth though.

I mean, I haven't seen anything that I didn't enjoy.
It's meant to engage you by altering if your bow or sword or whatever got a certain upgrade or you got a good match-up of god powers that synchronize well together, and you wanting to pay attention to how all the little changes can alter how you should approach the stages each time. If it all felt the same, that means you weren't engaging with the mechanics.
The whole point is that "each run is unique", but if the differences are so subtle that I'll miss them if I'm not properly "engaging with the mechanics" then I say that's on them for not providing enough variety from run to run.
It's fine to not like something, but spending this much time moaning about a thing that lots of people like, and trying to paint it as objectively bad because you don't, is wierd.
I think MMOs are rubbish, but that just means I don't play them. I'm not gonna crawl up on the pulpit and start a sermon.
Hades also has that God Mode toggle where you get stronger on each run/every time you die, which makes the game less hard but also allows you to feel like things are changing on each run.

And you came along and saw a conversation that was clearly over, as nobody has been engaging in it for a few days, and decide you need to bring it back up because you can't resist talking shit?
Not everyone is online to post immediately, but sure.
I just can't resist talking shit. It's a real problem.
Not a problem on the level of getting real mad about video games. But, like, just below that.

I've been talking to an old friend of mine and we are going on a date, possibly at a cool fancy place if my sister lets me have her gift cards
successfully navigating the choppy waters of "obliquely determine their sexual preference" and "vague flirting", and now I think I'm king shit because I managed to talk to a cute boy.
Nobody was mad about anything in the slightest. I expressed my annoyance that certain mechanics ruin games I would otherwise enjoy. Some other people told me my opinion was wrong. I told them I disagreed. Then we all got bored and dropped it.
Then you came along and said "Hey, I should be a complete dipshit over something everybody was already over."
Hopefully we’ll get Hextall back. He’s doing great things with the Pens.
But seriously, Holmgrem and Clarke need to retire. Maybe Danny would be a good GM but I don’t go that deep in the weeds to have an opinion other than the guy was / is a class act. Seems like those in the know want to poach Carolina’s AGM
Oh fucking hell the social bit at the end of episode two is maybe the funniest thing they’ve ever done. I’m straight up weeping with laughter.
Zach's character is incredible in Starstruck

When it was announced that Mercer is doing the next series after Neverafter my first thought was "I wonder how Matt would have reacted to Zac and Lou going just so far out into left field in Starstruck that they might as well have been in Kansas"
So having actually played the Dead Cells Castlevania DLC, which made me rebuy the entire game on PS5 and I am glad I did (as Dead Cells at consistent framerate and looking better is much better than Switch) it's been really good. I enjoy it a lot and it's hilarious seeing the different dialog you get with Dracula when you play dress up as different characters from the series.
On the other hand, it also leaves me feeling empty and hollow a bit because what I really want is a new proper castlevania with fancy new graphics/pretties etc. Like it's great that this exists, but it's not *quite* there.
And if you want to play a fantastic 2d game, which definitely keeps the feel of many Metroidvania style games, with plenty of secrets and a billion different paths now you can take to do a variety of endings, I can't recommend Dead Cells enough. You can also turn on an accessibility mode in the game that respawns you at checkpoints and not lose the entire run if you die as well - at the cost of not being able to obtain boss cells (which you either do or don't give a shit about).
If you want to see a bunch of high end talent that will probably be in the NHL pretty soon (as soon as two weeks from now) Michigan and Minnesota have made the Big Ten title game next Saturday night. Luke Hughes will be in the NHL (New Jersey) like the day after Michigan's season ends. Adam Fantili is going #2 after Bedard in the draft. Gophers are loaded, especially on the blue line.

The idea that your vote is a moral statement about you or who you vote for is some backwards ass libertarian nonsense. Your vote is about society. Vote to protect the vulnerable.
Several years ago, there was a game (I think it was Owen Sound @ Eerie) where a forward gave his stick to a defenseman on the PK, and the forward proceeded to take a bunch of shots off his ankles.
I know it was on youtube, but I can't find it anymore.
Does anyone else remember that, have a link, recall any details that will help me search for it?

His approach isn't all that dissimilar to how Brennan handled the Hilda Hilda incident: you make a wild choice? You're in it, now, find your own way out. Honestly, the way Zac and Lou commit to bits is way more predictable than the way Ally or Emily might, because Zac and Lou are the kind that will be presented with a situation and just...go for broke, if it makes sense, and Emily, for example, will be like, "hey, before we advance to the next plot thread, I want to go over here and do the most insane thing possible." To be clear: it generally rules when she does this.
I've heard almost nothing but good things about the Castlevania DLC for Dead Cells. I'm not quite ready to go back to the game right now, but I have a lot of fond memories. Never did beat it, although I last played it in September 2018. It sounds like a lot has changed since then.
The only complaint I have about the Dead Cells DLC is the same one I have about the rest of the game which is that it is real punishing for very small mistakes, but the love and care put in definitely makes it a mandatory purchase if you like the game overall.

The OIlers are flawed but when it all comes together for that team, they are as good as anyone.
