  • I watched it purely for nostalgia reason because of the games, I decided to not read reviews about it before. There was few interesting scenes (combat scenes), but overall not worth it IMO. I kept watching hoping that it will get better and I kept being disappointed. Maybe I’ll check the season 2 though according to reviews this time.

    They took a big dump on all the existing lore, and on the already well defined character of Master Chief.

    Forward Unto Dawn was so much better as a Halo adaptation.


  • I wasn’t even the first, someone else posted it also while I was typing my answer.

    I didn’t even re play it that much. I think in the end I probably have more playtime on Oblivion. But much better/stronger memories from Morrowind. It was maybe because I had less video game experience to compare it with, but this one clearly left a big mark on me. I still have incredible goosebumps when “the road most travelled” or “nerevar rising” sounds start playing from my playlists.

    The gameplay maybe clunky compared to today, especially to combine weapon and magic. But everything else was so amazing for the time, and some part are still much better than recent games.

    I even had a talk with someone at an “ai in game dev” conference who took as an exemple the way the diary/quest log of Morrowind was working.









  • It’s “classic”.

    Originally (several decades ago) it was used for “Computer Role Playing Games” to describe video games that closely followed tabletop rpg (rules, universe, or just in spirit). But then video games became more well known than tabletop games, and the “c” dropped out of the acronym because all games where “computer” games. However, a lot of more recent “RPG” video games didn’t had this tabletop RPGs feeling (think skyrim and the likes).

    So now the term cRPG is back, to describe the same kind of games as before but most people use the C to means Classic instead of Computer.


  • Ah I know it was popular in Germany too, but I didn’t know about Poland. In France it’s also popular and a lot of restaurant serving meat have that on the menu but it’s often disappointing in restaurant because it’s prepared in advance and not at the order.

    I’m not sure if I would trust already made tartare from supermarket, but I guess they have very strict rules to follow so it should be fine. The picture you sent is indeed grounded very small. In france the specialty is to cut it by knife in small rectangle and not ground it. You have a better texture when you chew it.


  • It’s a unique taste that is hard to describe. But it’s of course very savory, with a lot of unami. The dominant notes are usually from what you add to the meat and not the meat itself (here for exemple, shallot and toasted pine nuts were dominant). If you like rare steak, you can imagine the same but more prononced and without the seared part. Also, foe texture it’s very soft and easy to chew as it’s already cut in very small pieces.
