if i buy the dlc, can i still choose to play the game without the hat?

Yes. It's a toggle.

What is the Cinematic Universe bundle, is there actually a sequel?

Forget that. I've also heard Glittermitten Grove is a very good and unrelated game.

Frog Fractions is so good. Tempted to pull the trigger just to see the hat.

Listen to me.

Listen to me.

You need to see this hat.

CyricZ

It's a HAT you guys! Who doesn't love hats?

CyricZ

For just under ten bucks, you can finally give Hop the hat he's always deserved.

They better be. Else what have I been collecting these past few years?

DarkRoast, thank you for hyping this game, which convinced me to give it an honest try. I finished it yesterday and I had so much fun through all of it. Completed my 100% run too. :)

I never did get into the third game. Was it even any good?

3 was okay, but a bit overcomplicated by requiring connection to the "home city" as a gameplay mechanic. I enjoyed it, but it obviously didn't take off like 2 did.

CyricZ

TIL that they actually have "building collapse" animations in the Definitive Edition. Man those look satisfying.

---

CyricZ

And ended with 35. I feel like I want to upgrade my computer just so I can play the Definitive Edition. :)

I never cared much for them either. It mostly seems like a cop out just so an author can have a good guy that can do Sith powers and be an anti-hero. It seems very tabletop/video gamey as well.

Yeah, that's what gave us Kyle Katarn and Galen "Starkiller" Marek. I give them a pass because they're video games and fun to play as, but trying to fit them into Star Wars as a story requires some muddying in the history of what they "actually" did compared to what the player has the freedom of doing.

A grey jedi is not what was described in post #9

lol you might as well be saying "that's not what centrism really is". In the end, this is only your point of view of what you believe a "Grey Jedi" should be. Do you have any examples?

RiKuToTheMiGhtY posted...

Grey jedi do not give in to the darkside but they do use dark side abilities, and are willing to kill rather then arrest someone.

You are literally describing things actual Jedi have done.

What I'm saying is that every time they tried to push the idea of a "neutral Force-user", that's what we ended up getting.

The books (though probably none of it canon anymore) had this going on.

Yeah that's my point. I'm not saying it was all great writing, but at least they tried to imply there's a galaxy out there beyond the Jedi. You had the Jensaarai, the White Current, and a lot of ancient orders.

EDIT: Oh yeah. The Witches of Dathomir. They were Force-sensitive in Legends. In the new Canon they just have... magic. I guess it's implied to be connected to the Force, but I don't recall it ever outright stated.

The new canon has been very hesitant to branch out. The Bendu was the closest they got, and it was basically implied that it was more of a predecessor-type than a separate group.

My butt.

Lucas was very pointed in declaring that there is the LIGHT SIDE and the DARK SIDE and that is IT and there's NO IN BETWEEN.

I've always much preferred the idea that there are multiple groups of Force users out there in the galaxy and calling everything "x Jedi" was kind of an insult because it implies that the there's no Force without the Jedi.

But anyway...

"Grey Jedi" as a concept always boils down to a grumpy person who's strong in the Force who hides out in a remote world so no one can bother them and are really powerful in the Force but either refuse to use it or only use it for themselves to be left alone. The protagonists of whatever story meet them and they're always like "nooo I don't wanna get involved I just wanna sit on this barren rock and do nothing".

And it's funny because whether it's Jolee Bindo or the Bendu from Rebels, they always end up doing something that ends up helping the protagonists, so how "grey" can they really be when you get down to it.

When you think about it it's basically the idea of a "Force centrist". Sounds like a neat concept but really can't be well-executed for the same reasons that centrism isn't well-executed.

ce doesnt like calypso?

She's a woman confident in her sexuality and isn't afraid to speak her mind. There's a certain type of people that respond poorly to that. It's not a ton of CE, just a few dozen or so.

CyricZ

I'll vouch for Calypso. She's a good person. :)

Opponents countered that the money isnt enough to cover the estimated $20 billion maintenance backlog on federally owned lands.

Where could we possibly get another 17 billion I wonder

I've been here twenty years. I've seen some things that have made sad, things that have made me angry, and things that have scared me.

I've also made a number of good friends here. Truly irreplaceable people. I can't predict what your time here will be like, but there's worth in the people here.

It's so weird that Braid technically came out last gen.... 13 years ago.

---

CyricZ

It was a Star, not a puzzle piece.

Still, though. Is anyone really asking for this? The game plays perfectly fine right now.

Did Jonathon run out of ideas after The Witness?

---

CyricZ

I almost give TtR a general pass because while it obviously had pretty clear references to Star Wars/Trek, it at least tried to be its own parody thing and not an "official" product.

---

CyricZ

*ahem*

Neon, I'm sorry that happened dude. I hope your shift gets better.

CyricZ

Well I was going to try to give Neon some consolation for this but now I'm staring at victim blaming.

What about a latex bodysuit and mask?

At the end of the day, it's no different than paint. Some people have used "tan suits" to darken their skin.
