  • Is PoE2 accessible at all to someone who has played maybe 30 minutes of an ARPG before? (PoE1 like 7 years ago lol).

    I caught a stream showing the start of the game, and I was a little disappointed to see that the game looks like it bombards you with information you would only know from playing PoE1 or other ARPGs. I don't need the game to hold my hand or anything like that, but I've been kinda interested in getting started with some ARPGs since I'm unfamiliar with the genre and am not willing to give Blizzard money for Diablo.










  • I thought Snoke getting smoked was one of the coolest uses of a standard "evil chair alien" that I've ever seen. Just a cool twist that set up a power vacuum intrigue with Kylo Ren. Que my immediate bafflement when I went online and saw legions of nerds malding that Supreme Lord Snoke didn't get hours of backstory and lore explanation.


  • At the risk of combining pedantry with Star Wars nerd crap, I believe (this is just what I remember) that there's a line or two in the movie that states that the ship's shields were fully down, and it's implied that this is the only reason why the suicide attack worked. In lore, shields on ships are primarily for physical objects (like asteroids and crap), so it makes sense to me that they can, I guess, magically repel even other ships in hyperdrive unless the shields are down.
