    I don't have an answer to your question, I just wanna say, that while Hi-Fi Rush was a surprise hit, calling it one of the most popular games of the last 5 years is fucking wild. Baldur's Gate 3, Elden Ring, GoW Ragnarok, Doom Eternal, Last of Us Part II, etc etc. The list of higher profile, more successful games goes on man.

    A buddy and I just finished Space Marine 2, it was fantastic,but way too short. I'd still recommend it if you're a big 40k fan tho.

    I'm just finishing up the last couple bosses in Core Keeper with the same buddy, then I'm finally going to finish Ghost of Tsushima. The trailer for the new one got me really hype and motivated to dive back into it after putting it down for a while.

    Also just picked up Total War: Warhammer II last weekend, so I've been playing a bit of that on and off. It's my first grand strategy game, so it's a little overwhelming, but I'm enjoying it so far.

  • Best starting point for the lore? Or even roadmap for beginners?

    If you're interested in reading any of the books, I would recommend starting with the Horus Heresy novels. There are a lot of them, and some are better than others, but the first three are a good place to start. They're sort of the bigining of everything and lay a good foundation for the lore moving forward. The Lexicanum is a good wiki to rabbit hole on if you just want to ingest raw lore.

    $700, disc drive sold separately for $80. Wtf is Sony smoking. Even the vertical stand is an extra $30. It's a good day to be a PC gamer.

  • How come zombies seem to have sharp teeth while the rest of their body is rotting away? Or is it just fiction?

    You should read The Zombie Survival Guide by Max Brooks (Mel Brooks' son) it's a great little book with a ton of practical advice for if zombies were real it's super fun. It takes a very realistic approach.

    It really depends on the specific fandom, but my favorite excuse isn't that their teeth are sharp, but moreso that they don't feel pain so they bite a lot harder than would be comfortable for a normal human.

    To say any one particular group, be it ethnicity, race, sexuality or otherwise is funnier than the rest, is still a broad stroke generalization. Just because you're saying something positive instead of negative doesn't make it any less problematic. It'd be like if I said all black people are really hip and trendy. That wouldn't be okay. People are individuals.

    It's not strictly speaking legal, but there's an app called Mihon for Android that can scrape "read free online" sites and serve them to you in a neat little UI that lets you make categories and such. It's mostly focused on manga, but it has extensions for western comicbooks as well. I'm currently using it to read through the og Ultimate Spider-Man and Hellboy at the moment.

  • I'm a big fan of the movies and I've know for a while that the character is based off a series of books, but I've never gotten around to actually picking any of them up.

    I'm finally getting around to playing through the series and I'm wondering if the side games are worth it or if I shouldn't stick to the numbered instalments.
