What shows/movies are you watching?

Both AntMan endings sound terrible. Granted I haven't seen it but...

Endings

AntMan hasn't been around long enough for a big sacrifice ending
His daughter isn't enough of a character for me to care about her taking up the mantle
The character/mantle swap idea is way overused
That would have worked better with Iron Man and his daughter, here it would be forced

A better ending would be his daughter choosing to trap herself in the Quantum Zone, maybe with old lady Quantum Vet, to prevent Kang from leaving. AntMan being decimated that he can't get himself back in there to get her back out. Setting up a reason for him to be more in the fight, more vicious, more skin in the game in the coming movies. They must win. Banner and whoever must get back in there. He can't let his daughter be lost.

Have her/Kang in some post credits scenes. Maybe extended ones showing what she's doing while she's trapped out there. Have her be a fundamentally changed person when AntMan finally finds her.

I wanted to want Valhalla. I had a ton of fun in Odyssey and Valhalla sounded cool but as soon as gameplay came out...

Oh. Good. You doubled down on the shittest part of Odyssey. Forced combat.

Who wants Assassinations in a game called Assassin's Creed.

What shows/movies are you watching?

I like Newton but they gave her some of the worst dialogue I've seen in a long time...

Odyssey is really good Kuro.

I didn't play an AC game from 2 to Black Flag and then again from that to Odyssey. Long as fuck but good fun. Especially now as there's an item to make assassinations a sure hit, more in keeping with the older games.

Midjourney [Requests]

Just realized I was using a different one. Dreamstudio AI.

Also sometimes wombo.art

Cool stuff though. If I knew how to attach images from my photo library I'd add some in.

Midjourney [Requests]

I love that program. Did a few myself I'd be happy to share if you'd like. Otherwise if you'd like to try your hand at what I like.

I did, roughly from memory,

Orc Stuff

Orc Monk
Oil painting
Frank Frazetta

More details,
My favorite product was a robed Orc standing in a canyon of red rock looking like he was up to absolutely no good.

Another fun idea, to me, would be an Orc Monk reciting some creepy eldritch rite, or mid-way up a mountain path on a pilgrimage, or DJing a wicked sick set in a monastery rave put on by Monster Energy Drinks. Or maybe Bang if that's still a thing.

Or if you want to help me out with making a Face Claim / Character Illustration for my latest stupid idea, Tharg Bluhdaxe...

A big edgelord Orc Barbarian type with a big bloody sword standing amid a bunch of dead bodies. Something kinda like that old classic Doom image.

Doom Image

Halfling Stuff

Halfling Rogue/Adventurer
Oil Painting
Frank Frazetta

More details,
My favorite product was a squatting Halfling Monk, barefoot, wearing what looked like some very rough and well worn traveling robes

Another fun idea, to me, would be the fairly common place Halfling Robe drunk in a bar, or passed out in a bar, or smoking a pipe on a hillside.

And then, for entirely different results

Lovecrafty Stuff

Lovecraftian Detective
Oil Painting/Sketch
H. R. Giger or Bosch or Stephen Gammell

I swear, from that last combination I had one that 1,000% looks like it should be a book cover for a Lovecraft Inspired Anthology. Also several beautiful and creepy Cthulhu Critter Detectives instead of human detectives in a Lovecraft setting.

Another fun idea, to me, would be a Detective, a Fish Man, and Cthulhu himself sitting at a table in a dank little bar playing Poker. The Detective has the Dead Man's Hand (Aces and 8s). Or Cthulhu getting upset because he can't solve a Sudoku puzzle. Or a Lovecraft Fishman fishing for humans.

Looking for a battle

Tharg Bluhdaxe wans ta krump youse all noice'n proppa. Wif iz axe. Iz Bluhdaxe. As iz implied by da name'n all.

I either go rich well bred Butter Lord leading an army to protect whatever lands I get granted whilst not giving a shit about the good of the rest of the Empire...or Snowy Viking Dude bonking m'fers on the head with a big hammer and a massive cavalry army.

Either way, jolly good fun.

I've heard nothing but good things about the Mount & Blade series. Though I'm not the most experienced with the management/simulation aspect. (Never really played most of those games for long.) Maybe if I see it on sale sometime, I'll pick it up.

@SleepingSilence

It doesn't have all that much management unless you want to be an Emperor/King/etc.

The most fun I ever had with it was deciding I was just going to go around battling Raiders/Bandits/Sellswords/Sea Raiders and do very little but kill them, capture them and sell them into slavery, and sell all the loot I get off the battles.

You set up a long of Infantry with a long of archers behind them and then you take off with a bunch of cavalry to harass the enemy and eventually drag them into your infantry. Use a club or mallet or other blunt weapon to capture them or a sword/axe/spear/Lance to kill.

Jolly good fun.

You can cheat up a character too to make the early game easier. Give yourself a stat boost and a few thousand denar. Say you're not a common pauper but a foreign lord come to Calradia to fuck some shit up. Olden Days style. Ya heard.

Silence, try out Mount and Blade Bannerlord, or if you have a potato try Mount and Blade Warband
