It took me a while to locate her again as for some reason I keep thinking that her channel name is Eddie Munster. Anyway:

She should be more worried about her abysmal views. For some reason, not many people want to watch a middle-aged Milo Stewart lookalike and I can't imagine why.

As satisfying as it may be, this one feels like the Bank of Mum and Dad is bankrolling her "career".
 
Spellblade is the "combat mage" specialty, but yeah, it's designed to be more of a magic assassin archetype than a mage tanker or Jedi master.

There is a rather janky World of Warcraft or Korean MMORPG vibe to the classes that again confirm my suspicions that this game started life as an MMORPG or something like that.

spellblades are usually a gray area to be honest, they've been portrayed as a mage with a short sword or a mage with daggers, it's up to whoever is describing it to make what the class is about, on that note i like what amalur did with the regards of a mage that can also do melee:

Sigh, Kingdom of Amalur. Nice combat, but the game itself is half-baked and repetitive. Will be nice if someone will do a proper reboot.

In Dragon Age: The Veilguard, the lore behind Spellblade is that it's mage plus the Crows's assassination skills, which always makes me wonder: do the Crows always have Spellblades all along? Do they recruit mages or apostates? Or has the circles been retconned into happy hippie enclaves of mages going in and out like nobody's business?

kingdom of amalur is a fun game though, sure it's a bit half baked and definitely begins to run out of steam once you cross the river but i still have a soft spot for it, it also has the most original depiction of elves i've ever seen, they're just immortal larpers who larp as their legendary figures and if someone dies in their story they die and get reborn. the whole plot is one of these guys got sick of his job as a court jester and decided to take over the world.

they did release the re-reckoning version a couple years ago,

the one where they are gay and use their gay power to deal with evil which coincidentally has a supreme evil character that resembles their father.

Its so rote, so predictable, that even normies who don't know any of this shit, perceive it, and anticipate it, they've latched to the word "Woke" to label it, but they they don't even really understand it.. just that they hate it, and they know who's doing it.

The group that can effectively articulate why woke stuff is trash is a small group, and the group that can't but will try anyway isn't much bigger.

The group that can't put it into words, won't try, but still, instinctively, senses the issues and is put off by them is massive.

Absolutely. This is the contract upon which cat ladies' favorite genres - romantasy, rom-coms, and peak BioWare's romances - are built on.

It is implicitly understood that the heroine is special, beautiful, magnificent. But, she cannot acknowledge this. As long as she stumbles around in a cloud of contrived innocence, totally and absolutely confused as to why she has 16 hot men all begging for a taste of her pure virginal pussy love or why her girlfriends and totally queer BFFS keep telling her how awesome she is. Once she acknowledges that she is desirable and all that, the "I can so relate to this while projecting my innermost desires to be hot and popular onto her at the same time" is shattered and the fans revolt.

This is why Miranda isn't so hot with these cat ladies, as she knows she is perfect looks-wise and she keeps throwing that out. But Leliana, so deadly but so endearing naive and sweet and "Oh? You love me? YOU REALLY LOVE ME? awww, I can't imagine it but I am so happy!" UwU, that makes her "relatable" - she never acts like or acknowledges that she is the hot shit.

(Note that Leliana became confident and poised only in games where she is no longer a romanceable option.)

I'll always take a chance to talk about Sexy Dragon Fuck Sex Adventure and Prince Cockharde.

Gamerant editor wrote an article. I read it so you don't have to. It's a long, meandering piece that serves to pad a word count and doesn't really say anything as to why this creature thinks the game is 10/10. He spent more time talking about the games he don't like, the haters, etc. Seriously, the article has NO substantial content as to why he splooges over the game, aside from one paragraph.

This is basically why the game is a 10/10 for him.

At least he hasn't called his wife a platonic life partner yet, I guess.

PS: As someone that uses AI in writing near daily (shut up, it's a job), I immediately see ChatGPT's fingerprints in the article.

It's a game journo. Most of them never moved beyond tumblr tier writing and that's why they're stuck as game journos instead of the job being the stepping stone to "real journalism" they thought it would be.

It's very AI, whether you are using ChatGPT, Claude, or whatever. If you want it to write a proper article that doesn't make you appear like a brain-damaged giggling moron, you need to specifically state the tone you wish the AI to adopt.

I suspect he used AI because there is nothing specific in the details about why he likes Taash pegging him. It's very wish-washy. Woo! Dragon cuntress! Woo! Bellara is my Leia in slave costume! All these are signs hinting strongly at AI use.

Even then, it's a gamble because the default mode is sarcastic retard, perhaps because the genius programmers fed the AI social media posts for training materials. Common rule of thumb if you want a halfway decent AI-generated article is to read what is cranked out and then do a massive edit. AI is said to "hallucinate" for good reason - it's shockingly frequent to find made-up bullshit and inaccurate things. You'd think an AI would be smarter than this.

Absolutely. I also have a bot supplement a lot of the textual slop I need to produce for my job, and it's the same story. It can provide a workable skeleton of a piece, but if you don't refine it afterward, you get... Something like this.

that's the fucking point of the damn thing but people think it will do everything for them.
 
Inquisition is so fucking large and boring in early game, but when you became broken, game is still easy, even with nightmare difficulty, full trials and knigh-enchanter, which can solo's the entire game.

At least i cleaned the majority of maps. Oh, and if you like to do side quests a lot, is better to turn on the trial "taking it slow" because game have enough experience (incluiding the dlc's) and reach the level cap (27) before Tresspasser.
