Quotes (from this video)
  • role players are deeply frustrating game for me uh for many reasons
  • the thing that sort of causes me a bit of I don't know dissonance with the game is the whole narrative that it's about making up a character because for me the important part of making up a character are you know who they are their identity their motivations their drive it's not the six stats they get and that's what this focuses on
  • to me that's not character creation uh that's just rolling numbers
  • Santa Monica is another pretty yet ultimately forgettable game that I just kind of got rid of because didn't really do much to justify its existence
  • I found this a very cynical and very tepid game
  • very very forgettable and just totally uninspiring
  • Thunderbirds danger zone is a game that makes me a bit sad because Thunderbirds 50th anniversary is one of my all-time favorite games
  • with parts it's just not good it's just not a good game
  • it's just a waste of a really cool IP
  • there were just models were backing up
  • most of them are pretty pretty average
  • weights Knights post-apocalyptic game it's got some really good writing in it too
  • the problem is the mechanics are really arbitrary
  • weight nights in particular it just felt so arbitrary who was having a good game and doing well and who wasn't
  • core mechanics of the game were just a crap shoot and not that much fun if you ended up on the bad side of it
  • and the final game on here is welcome to the Moon the big sequel to welcome to which is like a 10 part rolling right game with a whole bunch of different games in it
  • if I'm not enjoying a rolling right game
  • was I too harsh on some games uh I probably was but you know this is my opinion
  • if you did hear me talk about something and go actually I think you would like this game really interested to know about that sort of stuff
