Be honest, the idea of building concrete forts and arming them with laser turrets, then patrolling them wearing a suit of power armor sounds pretty intriguing right about now.

It’s the Queue and while I regress down the Fallout 4 construction vortex, let’s talk about some stuff you mentioned.

I wrote a Queue last week and it just vanished. I intended to use this picture of Doom Guy and Isabelle from Animal Crossing and I don’t remember why anymore. But here it is.

Please let this Queue survive the fickle whims of the CMS, dreadful ones.

Left to my own devices I will absolutely just keep expanding the backstories I create for each and every tabletop RPG character I make, and truthfully, even characters I make for video games like Baldur’s Gate 3, Wrath of the Righteous or Rogue Trader.  I mean, paragraph after paragraph explaining every single detail of my character’s life and history.

I don’t know why I do this.

Good news! We’re going to be playing Masks for the Tavern Watch RPG podcasts.

Sad news for me! I can only play one of the roughly eleventy trillion character concepts I have bouncing around in my head.

Saurophaganax maximus was thought to be a very large predatory theropod that lived in the famous Morrison Formation of Jurassic North America. Several of the bones assigned to this genus were very similar to, but significantly larger than, those of Allosaurus specimens which had already been found in the Morrison, while others were unusual for those of a theropod at all, especially some of the vertebrae.

I spent yesterday watching a ton of paleontology content, including several that speculated about recent studies about encephalization quotient and therapod dinosaurs. Some of the videos are a bit optimistic, in my opinion, like the one arguing that Tyrannosaurs rex was more intelligent that a chimpanzee. I’m not arguing that T.rex wasn’t smart, there are a lot of studies that are coming to that general conclusion.

Draygonia.

I mean, come on, Draygonia. ONE? You expected me to pick one?

It is a sign of my love for you all that this entire Queue isn’t just me listing several dozen prehistoric animals that should be better known to laypeople. Heck, the fact that there isn’t a dedicated Glyptodon section is pure self-restraint.

Pick one? One? How?

Now, keep in mind, I’m playing Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader more than a year after it was released. And it certainly loses in the comparison of graphics and animated cutscenes, with W40kRT being a more stylized game with a much darker and more grim tone than  other Isometric CRPG’s (unless you’re Planescape Torment, in which case this could be said to be stealing your bit.)

Honestly, it’s not that this game is better than BG3, so much as it is to me more enjoyable to play than that game. Maybe it’s because you get to swing a giant chainsaw sword around and set things on fire with your mind while flirting with a completely deranged psyker who enjoys screaming people to death, I don’t know. I do know that the inventory system is not what I would call good.

I was going to try and be clever but let’s face it, nobody comes here for that. Let’s do the Queue, everybody.

Both are technically groups of Dinosaurs.

And yes, I’m listening to Space Age Love Song on repeat.
