I'm really only doing it for me -

Maybe next time, I'll see people around. If you pop in, say hi, I'll happily discuss what's being played. 👋

Just start streaming for my own sake and not the sake of anyone watching. It was a fun, cool, chill 6 hours. I spent most of it talking to myself, explaining what I was doing and why, without any real issues if nobody was watching.
Probably the best way to start so I can be the authentic me.

many times, that I've got to have everything set up prior to streaming - the advertising of said stream, all buttons and alerts in a row, all the functionality of a professional streamer as if that'll somehow improve engagement.
It won't unless I have a following in the first place, so might as 2/?

What's weirding me out a little, is I've done it with a Spiritborn on HC moments beforehand, zero issue. Rogue? No problem.
Barbarians? Dead, always as I pass through the threshold of the building.

I yearn for the mines (and wish I could stay there without repercussions just collecting rocks and squishing bugs).

Because we want you to pay tolls, pay for parking, engage in consumerism to boost our buddies who own these businesses' paycheck at the expense of your own productivity and sanity.

I thought I checked if someone else had recommended it! I also recommend Red Dog :D You're the only other person so far to mention it.

I have scrolled, but I cannot see it so I will add to the list:

I played so many of these games, with some serious hours into LOTRO and Neverwinter Nights. Good times.

Erm... For context, this is in response to the question. Polite enough to be misconstrued as genuine, but with just enough threat to indicate I don't like the intended audience.
I appreciate your work, JoJo 😅

I hope you enjoy the next 24 hours.

Twilight of the Gods suffers the same problem, even as a short-form series as opposed to a movie. It's lacking the exposition and actual story telling to entice a viewer wanting more than just animated viking hack-and-slash. I wish it was a bit more in-depth on it's narrative.

And I think it could have been better explored as a TV series, not as a movie as this would have given enough time to actually explain and provide context for the worlds we were traveling to and how the Motherworld and it's warfaring nature impacted them.
All this to say, though...

She joins without the exposition or any reason for it. The extended/director's cut barely does this justice and we don't even get explanation on her revenge/motives until Part II, which is just as much a disjointed/set dressing vignette as the rest of the film. There were some really cool concepts.

General Titus' hardpush refusal to be involved in any capacity is entirely washed away by suggesting he join for "revenge". Massive 180 for the sake of getting the gang together.
Nemesis was an excuse to go to a stunning, dystopian sci-fi Hong Kong/Nar Shaddaa rip-off and show off the character.

Take Rebel Moon for example, it's just a massive number of vignettes and shorts of visually impressive set dressing, met with the most uninteresting characters and either pre-teen villain monologue, or the most uninspired dialogue.
A prime example is Kora "convincing" General Titus to join them.

We're up to episode 8 and while it's been a perfectly acceptable watch, it's also been incredibly middle-of-the-road in terms of what I had hoped for.
I don't particularly know how else to describe it, but Zack Snyder has a habit of visually stunning, yet narratively shallow creations.

I'd have a much better opinion of Mad Max or Days Gone if they didn't feel like a time sink by that point and I could still enjoy the gameplay.
comment in response to
post
Two other games where the replayability and enjoyment tanked by arbitrarily forcing me to play more for achievements were Days Gone (Finish game on NG+ on Survival Mode), and Mad Max (Grind your face off for all the repeatable challenges...). Neither were difficult, but they were stale by the end.

Or their "Mythic Path" options that unlock in the final act but are exclusive locked with huge amounts of time investment. All up I have maybe 20 minutes of different dialogue options and a few combat encounters I have/avoid otherwise, for 100+ hours of gameplay.

A good example would be Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous; I have to play the DLC for Sithhud to weaken him, then play through all the way to the final Act, then re-do the DLC to have the next achievement available by keeping him full strength... And re-do the game to that point.

When I have to play 120 hours for a "slightly different" character choice that was event-locked away in my first playthrough in the first 10 hours because I picked X option instead of Y, yeah I can understand this pet peeve. The game becomes a chore just for that little % increase.

How very out of touch of Broadcom, that's ridiculous. "Below the pain threshold", for sure... Pain-free, easy decision to move to Nutanix.

Yeah, I'd say. The shift from perpetual licensing and SnS contracts to their "simplified" subscription model was a kick to the guts for existing users..

Context matters. Trumps idea of vaccination was drink sheep dewormer, inject bleach and get some sunlight.
Whereas mRNA have been proven viable under scientific review since well before COVID. We just didn't have the need for rapid deployment until the pandemic.
