The Bridge

Frank

8:00 PM

I really enjoyed the series.

GodEmperorDune

@MBraedley oh, the good old days before trump became president elect

Wipqozn

One day I might read WoT

Frank

It was super hard to keep track of everybody by the end, though.

Fluttershy

@StrixVaria Faile gets better. Perrin and Mat have some of the most drastic character changes I've read in recent memory, and Rand really goes through hell. Unfortunately, all of that doesn't really start until around book eight or nine. X_x

Kevin van der Velden

And Mat stays awesome the entire series

Frank

8:03 PM

@Fluttershy Doesn't help that he's somewhat insane from all the Forsaken dream invasions.

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy I can't imagine my opinion of her changing because she is a black hole of reading enjoyment.

Fluttershy

Books 5, 6, and 7 are a bit of a slog. But the overall story is so good.

StrixVaria

I'm too far removed to pick it back up where I left off, and I'm absolutely under no circumstances ever rereading any of the beginning of the series.

Fluttershy

@KevinvanderVelden I hated Mat early on. Like... Loathed him to the point that I wanted him dead. But he grew into one of my favorite characters.

Frank

6 is just...fluff. The whole thing, except the end, just doesn't matter.

StrixVaria

I don't read fast enough to deal with a series where even fans of the series say that an entire volume is just dead words.

Fluttershy

As far as least favorite... If I had to pick, I'd say Elayne, but I can't go into detail without spoilers.

StrixVaria

@Fluttershy We have a room for that.

@MBraedley because good book is good and I wanted more.

user15026

I still do want more but i am content more to wait now

Yuuki

@GnomeSlice I think they're still talking about Wheel of Time.

MBraedley

No Man's Sky is on sale for 40% off on Steam. Worth it?

GnomeSlice

8:17 PM

@MBraedley If you like exploring, yeah

Yuuki

@GnomeSlice And with the next update, if you like staying in one place.

@MBraedley So... $40?

KutuluMike

@StrixVaria we have a whole site for that, to be honest.

Yuuki

@KutuluMike Something something SFF joke.

MBraedley

@Yuuki yep

$40 Canadian, none the less

Yuuki

Oh, I got it: SFF is more for being arbitrarily contrarian and complaining about the new Star Wars movie and pursuing this weird delusion that the prequels were better.

@MBraedley Hmm... given what I've heard of the gameplay, it feels more like $15 or $20 game than a $40 game.

MBraedley

8:22 PM

@Yuuki But what about the new update?

GnomeSlice

Outer Wilds Vertical Slice Space Walk

►

ergggh when will they finish this one

Yuuki

@MBraedley A good point, but I feel like base building kinda runs counter to the whole "explore the universe" schtick they originally planned.

GnomeSlice

this video is a year old but now I just want to play the alpha demo again

MBraedley

@Yuuki But you can build frigates and freighters and other large ships

Yuuki

Well, I personally think I'm going to wait until the price goes lower before I consider picking it up.

KutuluMike

8:27 PM

@Yuuki no, we've moved on. now we complain about how crap harry potter is and JKR refuses to stop f'ing writing.

MBraedley

DAMMIT EMPLOYEE THAT PREVIOUSLY WORKED ON THIS PROJECT!

Yuuki

@KutuluMike To be fair, The Cursed Child was pretty awful.

Though I don't think she wrote that.

I have been hearing good reviews of Fantastic Beasts though.

It helps that it's considerably more distanced from the Harry Potter storyline than The Cursed Child, I guess.

Kevin van der Velden

It takes place before voldemort was born sooo

Yuuki

@KevinvanderVelden But then we'll see ~~Anakin~~ Voldemort in the second movie and he'll complain about how much he hates ~~sand~~ love and it's irritating and gets everywhere.

Oh and how coarse it is.

KutuluMike

@Yuuki sure, Fantastic Beasts is fine. But there's going to be three more movies.

Yuuki

8:34 PM

@KutuluMike I'll reserve judgement on JKR and the other three movies until we get those three movies.

If I was that big on jumping the gun, I'd be complaining about the terrible writing in Half-Life 3 right now.

MBraedley

I have no sweet idea why that code worked in the first place.

Unionhawk

Oh man secret hitler is released

Yuuki

@Unionhawk ... How many times has it been released now?

I know for sure it was released about a year ago.

GnomeSlice

8:50 PM

@Unionhawk My friends and I have been trying to get a game in, but haven't been able to yet.

Two complaints about FF15:

2) SO MUCH RUNNING AROUND

Sterno

@Sterno Fast Travel and instant travel are two different things.

arda

@arda its not actual game footage, but a lore based cinematic

Ellesedil

@arda Is making a copy of something the same as moving?

arda

user15026

@arda I don't think it's taking it too serious at all

Unionhawk

I agree that such a thing is necessary, not just because of trump administration, but also to provide redundancy to the data. The text of link was silly, just, ignore that.
