Happenstance

Ah the gif was broken on my page which is why I didn't realised that's what it was about. I forgive you

This was one I was planning on playing on the Steam Deck. Might re-think that now.

Heard an interview where he said he partially based the voice on Karl Pilkington 😆

Yes but you could have made a separate thread at any point after it being suggested by at least two of us, you just didn't bother then when someone made it for you, you just used it for a dumb joke.

The only time I see it is when someone using Tapatalk has broken them in a quote first.

Spoiler tags don't work with Tapatalk, unfortunately. Ah right yeah. Go for its own thread then, I'd be interested to hear your thoughts on the show.

I think all the Dr Strange spoilers are in spoiler boxes so you would be fine but there's also no reason you can't just create a Moon Knight thread if you want to keep it separate. Despite what some crazy returning members seem to think, there's nothing to say that both megathreads and individual threads can't both exist.

Something never felt quite right when I played Super Mario World. I think I came to it way too late.

Well last nights Liverpool match didn't exactly go how I would have wanted. Unfortunately I'd say that's it for us now ☹️

Been messing around with the Steam Link app on my new tablet today. I've tried it quickly before but this is the first time I've properly tested and paid attention. Quite impressed with the visuals and connection, especially when compared to something like Xbox cloud gaming which still struggles from time to time. Biggest complaint would be the controller lag. Its not gonna be an issue in some games but anything where timing is involved I just don't think I can play. Tried WWE 2K22 and maybe managed one reversal in a couple of matches.

So that's Picard season 2 finished and the first half of Prodigy season 1 aired in the UK finally. Picard season 2 was an odd one. I enjoyed a lot of the elements but it was a terribly paced season and too many parts of the story that were just there to give the extra characters like Raffi, Seven and Rios something to do while the main story went on. Raffi might also be one of my most disliked characters in all of Star Trek. Prodigy seems pretty good so far, especially the visuals which have been amazing. I'm still getting used to the cast but they're fine for the most part. Gets a bit confusing at times why certain species seem to appear or be known of and I would just put it down to it being a kids show but I think they do a really good job not just dumbing everything down for kids so I dunno. My only real issue I guess is that I'm enjoying having Janeway back so much that I keep just thinking about how this makes it less likely to see her in live action Trek again. Anyway I'm glad Paramount Plus finally has a UK launch date (22nd June) so I'll be able to watch Strange New Worlds next. Sounds like that first episode was very well received.

I got the controller and it's pretty good. Comfortable, nice triggers and very customisable in the software/android app which is helpful.

Just finished Moon Knight. I thought it was one of the weaker MCU series and kind of declined after the first two episodes but it had some good performances and nice bit of spectacle at times.

Anyone got the 8bitdo Pro 2 controller? I’m just looking for a new bluetooth controller for my new tablet and it looked like that might be the way to go. Liking the idea of having profiles setup that I can switch between for different controller layouts.

Decided it was time to upgrade from my iPad Pro 2018 and wanted to move away from the Apple ecosystem as it was my last device with them so just ordered the Samsung S8 Ultra. Massive screen at 14.6" so that may take some getting used to.

Yeah I played it for a while yesterday and really enjoyed it. It's basically just a refinement of the first game with new weapons/classes etc and a much more polished look to it. I'm sure there will be more as I get further in of course. Only attempted the first boss once so far but didn't make it through. Think this is another one that will get a lot of time on my Steam Deck when I finally get it. Still checking my emails every Monday and Thursday at 6pm to see if I can order it yet 😆

Bought Rogue Legacy 2 now it’s had its full release. I sunk a shit load of hours into the first one so I’m looking forward to getting into this.

Yeah Heroes Reborn The Return is still in print as an omni and I think the tpb complete version hasn’t been out of print for too long so probably wouldn’t be too hard to find.

I expect those will come at some point. They seem to sit in a weird point in X-Men history before they’d started complete collections for most stories but where they also haven’t quite reached in the older stuff that they went back to merge into bigger books. I’m just finishing off my Heroes Reborn omni at the moment (which not surprisingly hasn’t been great but is at least picking up now I’m near the end) and then will move onto X of Swords. I need to carry on with Jason Aaron’s Thor series after that, especially with Love & Thunder coming soon.

I’ve been a bit up and down on it but I know I’m in the minority for that, most love it. What I don’t like is how it’s been collected. There are too many different versions of books like the Dawn of X stuff and then just X-men or how I found out after Hellfire Gala arrived today that the tpb I got is missing at least 6 issues from the event that are in the hard cover. Its worth reading but just make sure you know what to get.
