Children’s Horror


We give gifts to both sets of parents as a couple, but we’re both involved in picking them out.
Actually what usually happens is my wife sets me loose to wander in a store and follows me like a dowsing rod or a truffling pig, and then I stop in front of a shelf and go “I dunno, this?” and 8/10 times she goes “holy shit, yeah”.


I think a lot of amateur writers feel more comfortable with a prompt or an established theme for the community to get started with. It’s part of why WritingPrompts, HFY, and HumansAreSpaceOrcs were pretty popular on reddit. After that, I imagine it’s just like any online community, a matter of promoting it to people and getting splintered tiny communities to band together in one place.
It looks like your community is pretty general theme-wise, have you considered maybe a “theme of the week” post, or a sticky where people can dump prompts for someone to pick up and run with?


Maximo
Fuuuuck, I haven’t thought about Maximo in years. That, Dark Cloud, and MediEvil are probably highest on my “It’s been 20 years, where the hell is my third game?” list.


Nethack maybe? It’s been updated over the years, but it’s still largely the game that released in '87.
I’m also playing Might and Magic 6 [98] right now, and remembering why I liked 7 so much more. Planning a playthrough of World of Xeen [93/94] soon too.


Romantically? I don’t suppose that there’s much choice to falling in love. But continuing to love someone once the honeymoon glow wears off, and it’s not always as happy and easy? I think that is, to some degree, a choice you make.


You can use a chair as a table, but can’t comfortably sit on most tables. QED, fuck off tables.


Also we get Will Sasso to come back as hotelier Gomez Calhoun at least once a season.


We’re bringing back Sliders without a reboot.
It was the real Arturo that got left behind in “Post Traumatic Slide Syndrome”, and Remy ends up finding him again after his cliffhanger solo slide.
Working with Arturo, they manage to get a slidegate up and running to go back for the others. They also find a dying copy of Quinn along the way who has some valuable Kromagg info and end up merging him into Mallory like the accident that melded our Quinn into him, in a last-ditch effort to save him. The presence of this third Quinn, who is almost like the original, outweighs Mallory so we have Jerry O’Connell back in the cast.
The gang all back together, they go to deliver the Kromagg bio-weapon in Remy’s blood and succeed. It’s now slowly spreading across all worlds. But the Kromagg big bad they’re fighting during this process sets off some kind of nuke inside a slide-tunnel, destabilizing the entire thing and basically scrambling sliding across all worlds. Even if you knew how to precisely connect to a world before, it goes somewhere else now.
And now we’re back to the classic formula, we can do whatever we want from here.


Aren’t you glad you put money in Kushner’s pocket for this wonderful experience?
Fuck EA.


I haven’t played an actual tabletop game in years, but I’m enjoying my current BG3 character and wouldn’t mind translating her to an actual 5e game at some point.
Soliel, the Dancing Flame. She’s a gold dragon bloodline sorcerer/oath of ancients paladin. Zariel Tiefling for them bonus smites. Dex-based, scimitars and unarmored because of the dragon bloodline’s scales giving innate mage armor. Searing smites everywhere.
She’s pretty fun to play, and I imagine in a tabletop game there’d be a good bit of RP potential. I imagine her as being an orphan raised by a priest of Lathander, who ran way to join the circus in her teens, then later put those skills to use as a paladin in the adoptive parent’s memory.


Smh, we’re still doing toon erasure in 2025?


Avoid any situation in which you might have to do so.


Can a vampire landlord enter uninvited with 24 hours notice?


Did Pillars 2 implement its turn based mode as something you can toggle, like the Pathfinder games? That’s my favorite implementation. RTwP for blowing through trash, TB for the big fights.


Star Trek/Re-Animator. The ultimate Jeffrey Combs picture. A cryogenically frozen Herbert West is revived on DS9 and gets to doing what he does best - undead monstrosities. Parts of the station are sealed off and eventually the only ones who can stop him are Weyoun and Brunt.

Sounds like Guybrush Threepwood’s racist couchfucker cousin.


online co-op horror game
I appreciate your efficient inclusion of the keywords that tell me I would absolutely hate this. Enjoy the game!


DULLARD for cheat mode on SNES and I think Genesis Mortal Kombat.
