I wish people stopped using the phrase "hilarious self own." It's like the goony version of "so-and-so ABSOLUTELY SLAMS Republicans" and "Ted Cruz RIPS Dem assholes!"

There's never actually a hilarious self-own. I guess it's just a forum darling right now because I've seen it crop up everywhere

only someone who regularly hilariously self-owns would say this

conquest's gameplay is equally guilty of being so bloated between characters having half a dozen skills and enemy pair-ups and weapons screwing with stats in new ways and debuffs and map gimmicks as the other fate games

I can't find a main thread for it but should I play XC2 first or the stand-alone prequel expansion thing first because nobody seems to agree anywhere else on the internet.

XC2 first, prequel after. The prequel assumes you have already played XC2.

play the main game first. the prequel assumes you've played the main game and will spoil a lot of the story reveals in the first 40 hours of the main game if you haven't.

It's cool that we've mereged two bad but separate arguments of "I don't recognize these incredibly popular movie stars who have been at the forefront of popular culture for the better part of a decade" and "how do people who hate the weapon degredation in BOTW deal with it in the Fire Emblem games?

I mean you can only use a character so much until they break.

Bonus points if you can throw dying characters at your enemies and explode them.

Thracia 776 had fatigue where if you used a character a lot they were unable to participate in the next chapter so the series has already been halfway there

Catastronauts, which should tickle the fancy of anyone who likes Overcooked, as it's clearly ripping off the aesthetic wholesale. It's basically FTL but with 4 players instead of one player commanding 4 units. Not sure how well it'll play with just two people.

I do think I prefer Overcooked because you have to organize yourselves and come up with a plan for some of the harder levels while with Catastronauts you somehow end up getting into a groove after a few chaotic failures on each stage. That said, I still enjoyed it.

Time travel plots are screwy like that.

If you're referring to that picture of the two people playing the Gameboy, if you hadn't told me they were Avenger people, I wouldn't have known. I've seen a handful of Avenger movies, but not the newest ones (which those two are from...?) and I mostly recognize the characters with their costumes on anyway. If you'd said "So and so who plays such and such character in the Avengers" I'd know who you're talking about, but I am horrible at remembering names even of people I know, much less actors. This isn't me smugly not knowing a popular actor. I just have craptastic memory for names. Always have.

It's not that hard to not instantly recognize an actor. :shrug:
