treetop,

I really love, and really miss, healing in wow raids circa WOTLK through Cata, specifically using healnot and custom keybinds to keep people alive. I don’t have time or budget for an MMO in my late 30s, nor do I see that easing up anytime soon.

I think a game where you had to do raid mechanics/puzzles while keeping NPCs alive through healing could be really fun, even without a loot grind. Or a game that dropped you into a multiplayer raid encounter without the crap around it. Either could be great.

treetop,

This is awesome, thanks!!!

treetop,

Do you have proof (or literally any evidence) of their “legitimate beliefs” of Stalin as a good person, or are you extrapolating an opinion you already believe and want to fight about from the use of a single emote? Because it certainly feels like the latter until you provide anything to back up your statement.

treetop,

I mostly just follow the nextlander crew and Jeff Gerstmann. They aren’t much more than podcasts, there’s little to no written work produced, and they don’t really consider themselves gaming journalists, but that’s pretty much what we’re left with.

“Influencers” and corporate cash have largely killed games journalism.

Oh damn yeah! The remap folks are FANTASTIC!

Are there any prince movies for kids?

Anyone who knows about kids’ movies knows how popular princess movies are, especially Disney princesses. My child is six and absolutely loves them too. My child also loves princes and kings, but I’m having a hard time finding anything that features a character as easily beloved as Elsa or Moana for example. Even worse, a lot...

But the prince is a sniveling snot weasel! Now, the Dread Pirate Roberts is a real kick-ass role model

But Simba voluntarily went into exile, de facto abdicating the throne to the next heir, which was Scar.

No pretending, Scar had a legitimate claim!

treetop,

I didn’t find him particularly scary in Insomnia, but he was believable and his character had depth which meant a lot more in the context of the film.

Insomnia is still a bit underrated, buried in the larger Nolan canon. It’s an incredible and inventive crime drama, but probably (one of?) Nolan’s weakest. Which is to say it’s broadly only like an 8/10.

“Also what’s the ethical structure behind literally enslaving a species of creatures and forcing them to cook our meals and keep our homes?”

“Well Harry you see, they’re lesser than us and also they like it that way”

“…”

(Harry Potter? Not a great book series, from a not-great philosophical mind.)

What are you Reading? (August 2023) (lemmy.world)

I’ve put together a collage of some books from last months What are you Reading? post. It’s mostly random, but the more discussion something gets the more it stands out to me. Going forward I’m going to make a new post every month to talk about what people are reading....

treetop,

I’m on Matter and I’m loving it! Player of Games and Use of Weapons are my favorites in the series so far but I’ve loved each of them for their own reasons (with the exception of the short story collection State of the Art, it was fine but the rest of the series is on a different level!)

treetop,

I was here!!! What a wild ride
