My buddy who's a DM said it was challenging to set up properly for the kind of campaign they wanted to run -- so there's definitely a notable learning curve. It seems like if you put enough hours in you'll get the experience you want.
Death is your art. You make it with your hands day after day. That final gasp, that look of peace. And part of you is desperate to know: What's it like? Where does it lead you? And now you see, that's the secret. Not the punch you didn't throw or the kicks you didn't land. She really wanted it. Every Slayer has a death wish. Even you.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
Just finished Horizon Zero Dawn (I know I'm 3 years late to the party.) Holy shit was that a good game.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.

Playing the Final Fantasy 7 Remake. (Spoilers for around the 15-20 hour marks.)
Even though I knew it was going to happen, Jessie's death broke me. The whole sequence with her blaming herself for the unintended destruction created by her bombs (not realizing that Shinra intentionally created a larger explosion to turn the people against her team) and being upset that she was making Tifa cry. And then her and Biggs' deaths essentially being for nothing. At least Wedge got to save a bunch of civilians before he went out and died while trying to save his cats.
I don't know how I'm going to handle it when the original game's most infamous moment happens.
Damn video game giving me feels.

My covid video game addiction has been XCOM2. I even have a video of one of the missions. [link] It's not exactly an impressive thing to watch, but my son had heard of it, but didn't know what gameplay was like so I recorded it.

I just started Zelda - Legend Breath of the Wild on Switch. First game on Switch, definitely a challenge to learn how to work all the controls in tandem.

I surprised my wife a Switch (she'd been wanting one and couldn't find one to buy) and she's been playing Animal Crossing like crazy.

I want to get a Switch just to play Breath of the Wild, but I already splurged on a PS4 this year. (My wife also wants one to play Animal Crossing.)

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Regarding Tabletop Simulator. I've never used Roll 20 so I can't compare and contrast. It's like an MMO but instead of characters you're just fingers and your open world is a table. You can import just about any board game. Does that help or am I being too broad?
