well isn't that petty.

when i say 'of his other combat/mechanics mods' i didn't mean to suggest he made them.

family restaurant is probably an appropriate term for them.

go in and there's all sorts of weird shit on the walls. old newspaper clippings. a license plate or two.

this is a combat overhaul mod and i watched him play it and it seems good.

the comment he pinned for this video is a list of his of other combat/mechanics mods.

twas merely an act

well someone needs to buy all those truck nuts

nightcore is garbage, universally

looks a lot safer. kickoffs were pretty stupid, let's be honest.

i was going to say 'because they're parasites' but they really act more tumor-ish.

i tried dark brown sugar along with my usual salt and pepper rub and it was fucking delicious

blue

the killers fucking suck and so does their cover of shadowplay

seven nation army is the shittiest song of all time

While I agree with your overall premise, I dont think criticizing Elden Ring that way is fair. Its one of the first open world games in a long time that didnt feel like an Ubisoft checklist and felt like an actual well designed world to explore.

i was probably a little harsher than i really think about it because i do think the map functions well and is visually well-designed in terms of signposting -- i think they've always been good at getting players to look where they want. and i like the catacombs and dungeons, too, even if they're copy+paste.

honestly, i just get annoyed and my thumb gets sore every time i have to run through liurnia.

The Usual Suspects is one of the most boring crime movies, and is relying on its ending to impress, but the ending is completely superfluous and tacked on with barely any relevance to the plot.

but it's kinda cool

'somehow, palpatine returned' is a great line actually, it has what some writers call 'life after the line' where it simultaneously explains his current motivations and actions while exploring the type of personality he has while you're not watching him, like if he's doing things on terms of somehow you know that's a shifty guy

forever

i will remember the day the patriots lost to the packers until the day i fucking die

Damn I was doing something while typing lol

i meant no offense i just wanted to do a pun

It would just encapsulate an entirely different way of looking at these kind of games. More as tools to create stories, rather than "beat the objective".

hey, look, i really like the idea from a creative standpoint. it would give the game more ways to be adversarial, like that one chest in elden ring. but once you get into the territory of 'it takes players' stuff/money away' or 'the player is locked into this area until completion', again, you have save manipulation and least-resistance pathing to compete with.

i might also want to say that i'm not sure having these things really let players create stories, moreso it gives them a chance to check off a chapter or complete a dialogue tree of some larger story they can 100% complete once all the front-facing cardboard cutouts are knocked over. different rant for a different time, but i think the stories really start being made once you have a multiplayer playspace and roles people can fill. like, that one time the dude saved the raid with 1% of his health and everyone won, or the time the invader killed all four guys and slow-walked away.

more scenarios

i think that goes back to the issue of everything being intended, indexed, and part of a checklist. you brought up strategy games and they're actually a really good example of what i was trying to explain above, as they are a playspace and the story emerges out of the established rules.

beard consequences

i moustache you what this means

also there is a way to combat savescumming, and that's through taking control of saves away from the player.

like, the thing you're designing against here is the player's desire for convenience. that's the first water test that players subject your game to. what's the easiest way through it? what's most effective? what hits hardest, takes the least amount of time, and has the highest effort:reward ratio? everyone min-maxes.

more alternatives to death.... getting captured by the bandits instead of killed, getting arrested (bethesda has this but its very shallow), waking up at a doctors, wake up having been revived by a necromancer. Or death alternatives based on your characters spirituality

so -- you're suggesting something that would pose the player more friction and you don't expect them to just reload out of it.

Open world -conceptually- is a good idea, but the actual way it's put together is often a bad fit for games leading to wide tracts of Basically Nothing or the Ubisoft "here's a checklist and some map markers but the actual gameplay is kinda ass" syndrome.

it's like 'quantity over quality' is a longer way to write 'open world'.

and it's like the devs know it's a bad fit because they have all these player band-aids that you're meant to apply -- like using the horse to traverse all the Basically Nothing in elden ring or how massive worlds are almost universally reduced to traveling via menu. i can get lost in the duke's archives in ds1, but i can't get lost anywhere in the lands between.

sorry so many people from my country decided to listen to every word the dumb guy from newsradio has to say.

Dumbest part about it, was some of these people are considered intellectuals

i do want to say that knowledge in one field does not necessarily imply common sense or knowledge in other fields. but i did know a guy who said that no doctor is an idiot -- i wonder what he'd say about them.

I never understood how tilting worked in pinball. How is it beneficial if it locks up the flippers?

you can tilt a pinball machine a little before it locks up. sometimes.

they do it because they need to bully someone as they would get bullied themselves in any other situation. it's something weak people do and something weak people need.

like, imagine dedicating actual time, effort, or attention to keeping up with what is going on in boogie's life. or any easy internet target, for that matter. what would have to go wrong?

don't be upset because i don't agree with you.

Or just be an emotionally mature adult and dont get tilted.

i don't think that's actual emotional maturity. emotional maturity is when you know how to handle emotions, and pretending you don't experience them probably isn't that.

Im pretty sure its just back pain from sitting in an awful chair with barely any support.

then why the topic title? pity? attention?

it's short, but i don't think the stage design is bad. it's probably just the least-memorable.

being the worst world in smw doesn't necessarily mean much.

A lot of people lost jobs because businesses were forced to be closed.

blame the people who were too selfish to stop being threats to public health.

There is a scientific theory that there is a large entity devouring galaxies out there. Whether it's a humanoid or not is not really explained, but it is definitely a scientific theory that many scientists seem to agree on.

can you show me one scientist taking this bullshit seriously?

but hey it's okay that sci-fi monsters exist, as long as time travelers and silver surfers get to exist too.

It was sad for the people that lost their jobs.

it was sadder for people that lost their lives.

You were treated horribly for not getting vaccinated.

good

come to think of it, i bounced off of the idea of collectathon pretty hard.

people legit got fired for not complying to vaccine mandates

good

i did a playthrough recently where i basically turned ramza into a necromancer

only learned the death spell -> learned all the calculator stuff -> got all the mediator skills -> formed undead army

maybe a little flippant, but good.

pork rinds

my brother once hooked up some nice ass speakers to his pc and one of the first songs we heard out of it was this:

No, I'm kind to the shitty person and the people around them they are being shitty to. Kindness to all and maybe the unkind will get the hint.

so like i said, you're complacent, and you've somehow convinced yourself that laying down is taking the high road.

please continue to tell us how you smile at people who are treating others like shit, right in front of you.

that's the person you want to be?

be complacent, basically.

not viewing that as the high road at all. all you're doing is laying down.

so it looks like it's the logo for this show.

and the show looks like a sort-of coded racism type deal where you have characters named moon man and shit like that. it definitely fits in with the rest of his stickers.

Mood Dissonance: The original logo was one and infinity overlaid in a circle. This symbol was taken from the notebook of Aurora theatre shooter James Holmes, and represents his belief that he could increase his own "human capital" by killing others, and here it's frequently displayed dead centre of the words "World Peace". Every instance of this symbol in the show was covered up in post by Adult Swim, usually with an opaque peace sign.Every instance of this symbol in the show was covered up in post by Adult Swim, usually with an opaque peace sign.

ahem i believe his name was actually loto in that translation

in the us pixel remaster it's link

it was rainbow dash god damn it

i'm trying to use the phone

i thought this would be about ffxiv.

i've spent so little time doing anything other than the combat in ffxiv i don't know where anything is.

It is interesting how often people jump to conclusions

so you're not going to answer the question. are you mad about pronouns?

how do you feel about it tc

are we getting mad at pronouns

he hit you with the reddit finisher
