God, maybe I should get back to using this app. Less people here trying to dismiss enjoyment of things.

The DMC anime rules and the Switch game prices could be better, btw.

Someone on Twitter saying that the SnapCube videos caused "irreparable damage" to Sonic Adventure 2 struck a fucking nerve in me.

Like, come the fuck on. Imagine being that much of a boring little shit that you think a viral video that made a game series MORE popular was a bad thing for said game.

I ordered a DX Blazar Brace and my transformation into a massive fucking tokusatsu nerd will be complete when it arrives.

I always wanted a Power Ranger Morpher as a kid, so having the income to fulfil those wishes in a better way is fantastic.

Saw the Solo Levelling theatre run today!

It serves as a fantastic recap, and getting to watch the first episode(s?) of Season 2 in cinema was the best! Also handled way better than Demon Slayer.

I think I'm finally at that point in my life where repeatedly beating my head against a rock is more productive than dealing with people face to face. So many demanding little cunts in the world, and not one iota of respect towards those who try to meet those demands.

Over it.

In other gaming news, I finally bought Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3, as well as their expansion passes. Once X is out, might get that too.

I liked the first one, might give that a better shake and beat it now.

Holy FUCK, I love DMing for my table! Giant spider fight in the sewers, followed by the first half of the Bandit Camp box from @steamforgedgames.bsky.social using Tales of The Valiant from @koboldpress.com! Players felt more powerful and had more things to use! I had better monsters as well!

Lancer session three, encounter two, and we had to deal with the sheer lack of floor inside of a factory. Only two of us had aerial capability, and so my sniper ended up going mid-range and getting absolutely bullied by invisidudes and grunts that could just nope their way out of damage.

Still won!

Oh booooyyy.

I bought Magic cards again.

Will I commit to actual play? Will I just be a collector? Will I fucking regret going back to this deep dark money pit?

Find out next time on Picklewalker!

Every time I follow someone on Bluesky, I take a trip down their Following to see who else I can follow, all in an attempt to restore some semblance of The Old Site before I inevitably delete it.

Took the time this morning to translate my PCs into Shard. Got away with making up some bullshit for one (former Gem Dragonborn), but of course I have a PC whose shit I *don't* know because he has been doing his own conversion.

Welp, I'll fix it later.

Finally played my first combat encounter of Lancer yesterday and holy SHIT, IT WAS SO MUCH FUN

I HAVE A SNIPER BUILD AND I OBLITERATED A TANKY DUDE IN ONE SHOT

Ayo, @shardtabletop.bsky.social is actually a neat tool!

I subbed to the Tales of The Valiant Starter Kit by @koboldpress.com, and the chances of me converting my players' character sheets into it are growing by the second. It's so damn intuitive and smart!

Just need the GMG to be added... 👀

Thinking back to Wednesday and how easy it was to explain how to make characters in #Lancer and how a lot of the rules generally worked to my friends.

Once you have an idea of what goes where, what does what and when you can do what it does? It's rather simple!

Play Lancer already!

Five months sober as of yesterday.

I completely understand how people can easily fall back into it, however. It can be rough, especially if your environment encourages it.

That said, I feel I'm doing a good job. ☺️

Uuuuuugggggghhhhh.

I made my choice. Treviso made more sense in my head. People being sick and dying from blight is worse than a cult that we can massacre later.

But when you're a Shadow Dragon, Neve and co tear into you. Fuck, it hurt. #veilguardspoilers

Fought a Level 25 mini-boss as a Level 10 Warrior and beat it first try. It took way too long, I got Defeat screen once, but patience, timing, Bellara having a revive on her, and learning the boss patterns led to a Shangri-La Frontier-esque win, LETS GOOO

Repost from hell site:

Meet Arek.

Dwarf. Shadow Dragon. Warrior.

Ready to crump Venatori fuckheads. #RookReveal #DragonAgeTheVeilguard

Two hours until Dragon Age comes out and we had a theme day at work that heavily involved the colour purple, making the fact that I'm stuck here for three more hours even worse. 😫

To everyone who is able to play right now, I hope you are having fun with the game! 💜 #TheVeilguard

Excited to go pick up my partner's Collector's Edition copy of #DragonAgeTheVeilguard tomorrow! I don't get to play my copy until Friday, but I look forward to taking my time with Rook, their companions and their quest!

Gonna play Warrior or Mage first. What will be your choice?

Man, Shangri-La Frontier should be considered a top-tier anime purely because of the forge song that Vash sings. It's the fucking tits.
October 28, 2024 at 5:33 AM
Oh no.

The porn bots are here, too.

The fuck.

I'm now in love with #NewWorldAeternum and its Trading Post.

Fuck up royally and make the wrong kind of armor that makes you weigh too much? Scrap that stuff and spend your Gold on some new duds that some other player made!

Simple!

Ya boi found Mythica: Stormbound in store today!

Massive fan of cheesy fantasy, ever since the original D&D movie in 2001. The older Mythica films were fantastic, but this new one is already a big improvement!

Looking forward to seeing how it goes. 😁

Weird potential mash-up/crossover that I think would be the tits, hear me out:

#StrayKids x #Käärijä

It would be absolutely nuts, but with the amount of similarities in their music, it would drive fans crazy 100%
