Yes, virtually all British people have one.

How else are you going to make tea?

240v supply means they are very quick.

Same in the Netherlands. Now that it's commonly available I see no reason not to have one. Unless you never require boiled water maybe.

Proud.

Considering the predictability of the MCU formula, I'm just gonna take a wild guess that he'll be playing a stoic confident calculating influentual villain/not-so-nice guy.

It'll depend on whether they can find a way out of the city. Both of them would have the survival skills necessary to avoid the zombies to get out and since they wouldn't be exploring the manor they're less likely to bump into some of the nastier zombies like hunters. The issue is that since they're not STARS, no one's going to come to rescue them before the city gets napalmed, so if they try and survive in the city they eventually get taken out with everyone else, but if there's a means to get out they would absolutely be able to.

They could also go the Resident Evil 2 way. Keep in mind that at the time Leon was a rookie cop and Claire was, well, not exactly helpless but didn't have any special training or combat/survival experience as far as we know. Add to that that Ellie is much more resourceful and less annoying than Sherry, and they have a decent chance of getting through this.

I don't have anything in particular to confess that I wouldn't want to admit otherwise here, but I just wanted you (Harpie) to know that I really appreciate and respect what you're doing here. Sometimes people just need to get something personal off their chest, without it getting back to them (even if most of us are already practically anonymous here).
I often read these topics just because I find them interesting, without really wondering "Hmmm, I wonder who wrote this" and it's good to see that some people actually use it to say something that has been bottling up.

So thank you for making these topics.

Can't wait for all the spin-offs!

It's because we're differentiating between the "soft a" version of the word that is commonly used by black Americans today, and the more racially charged epithet "hard r" we all know about. They both have a "hard n", so that term wouldn't do anything for trying to distinguish one from the other.

Ah I see, that makes sense. Thanks for clearing that up.

I'll tell a Fallout-based one.

...

The Great War is near and a Mr. Gutsy is grilling three Protectrons, believing one of them is a communist spy. The Mr. Gutsy told them, "I'm going to find the real American among you, and there's nothing more American than baseball! What's your favorite baseball team!?!"

The first Protectron said, "The Baltimore Orioles, sir!"

The second Protectron proclaimed, "The New York Yankees, sir!"

The third one leers around for a moment and says, "You know, I like that one team from Cincinnati...".

I think I get it, but sadly I know absolutely nothing about American sports teams (or any kind of professional sports teams really). Nice touch on the Fallout flair though.

Please leave me out of this.

Fair enough. Perhaps you could tell us a joke then?

How about a succubus eating a popsicle.

if we make it out of CE alive, i'll tell you.

Okay...I'll be searching too!

NCR, House and Indepenent Vegas are all morally grey factions in the sense that they're not stereotypically good or evil. The Legion actually does seem to have all kinds of qualities that are associated with evil, which I think is kind of a shame, considering the moral ambiguity of other factions. Like, I wish Obsidian had developed the Legion more to the point where the player would actually contemplate that path and consider them to be the best choice, other than "muhahahaaa, I'm gonna play an evil character now!"

If anybody is confused, here's an example of that pronunciation being referred to by that term. Though it is Maya Rudolph who pronounces it like that.

What do you mean "sort of", it's clear as day.

Actually I think I get it now that I've seen it exemplified in that video. If I understand correctly, 'the hard R' is another way of saying 'the n-word'. This might be super obvious to some of you, but not others because:

BabyDahl posted...

The problem is that in order to believe it was indeed intentionally racist, you'd have to assume that the largely Korean/Japanese/etc. developers employed by Sony were trying to insert this very western/American racist dog whistle into their video game. Because, you know... the entire world views race relations through an American lens. Duh.

American and other first-language English speakers knowing what the "hard r" means? Yeah, of course most of us get it. But the developers of this game? C'mon. I highly doubt they just wanted to get a kick out of inserting implied bigoted language into their game.

Now, should it have been changed? I really don't care. To me, the game never looked interesting enough to buy in the first place.

Personally, I still think 'hard R' is kind of an odd way to describe it and 'hard N' would make more sense, but I guess it's an American/English-speaking culture thing that just happened to develop that way. Same way how the expression "The end...or is it?" makes no sense to me, as it actually means "The end...or isn't it (the end)?"

I'm probably making no sense and CE will just end up calling me a troll or something, but hopefully a few people will get what I'm trying to say and that I don't mean to cause any offense. It's just that I honestly never encountered the phrase 'hard R' before, so I had no clue what all the fuss was about. I do now.

I'm so happy 'cause today I found my friends, they're in my head
I'm so ugly, that's okay, 'cause so are you, we broke our mirrors
Sunday mornin' is every day for all I care, and I'm not scared
Light my candles in a daze, 'cause I've found God

It was explained pretty clearly in post #34:

Yeah, that's what I was trying to say. I didn't know and this topic explained it to me, sort of.

That is literally so perfect I'd tip 4% for it.

HentaiMan posted...

I have never heard this before. didn't trigger anything in me. oh well.

Same here. Earlier someone ITT talked about how people are going to pretend not knowing what it means, but I sincerely never heard of this and literally had to have this topic explain it to me. Tbh I'm still not sure I get it, but I guess if enough people agree that it's offensive and it was edited out, then good for everyone I guess.

At the very least the fact that lots of people wore masks were a constant reminder that there was a pandemic going on and people should keep distance from each other, and the effectiveness of keeping distance in order to prevention infection is one thing there is clear consensus on.

Interesting stuff, thanks. Tag for later, especially considering I'm an EU citizen.

Human bastards!

You mean like the ones with an overly long health bar that barely seems to go down? Yeah I dislike those so much that I actively try to avoid games like that, so no examples really come to mind.

If the "death sentence" does happen that is in control of the users

"Yeah well if CE does end up being deserted that's really on your own fault"

Every time I see DToast post, he just comes off more and more as a token corporate figurehead, doing little more than parroting whatever his overlords tell him.

Same bed, different covers, so that no one will hog all of the cover.

Interesting. Tag for later.

Trump is the most powerful politician in the United States and possibly less than a year away from permanently destroying America.

Musk is the richest person in the entire world and bought one of the largest media platforms in the world to push far-right rhetoric and conspiracy theories.

Maybe you're a billionaire on a private island who can ignore their shit, but the rest of us live in the FUCKING REAL WORLD.

You can block topics or delete your account if you don't like it.

Take a chill pill already. I'm not saying Trump/Musk are harmless, but I don't see the point why people feel the need to report on practically tweet that they post.

Dana = obviously a girl's name

Zuul = kinda sounds cool, and also like 'Zool' (ninja of the Nth dimension)

No, but most definitely way too many topics like "lol look what Trump/Musk/some other dumb famous person that nobody actually cares about posted this time"

I downloaded Doki Doki Literature Club Plus for free, and loved it so much I wanted to play with mods. However, the mods are generally only compatible with the vanilla version of DDLC, which can be downloaded for free from the official website. I voluntarily paid $20 for it.

But yeah, that Blizzard guy is completely delusional and hopefully the gaming industry/audience doesn't fall for his scam.

Why doesn't Jupiter, the biggest planet, just eat the other planets?

Characters that are dependent on critical hits (a.k.a. rogue class) are inferior to tanks/fixed DPS. Better to have the certainty of knowing how much damage youre going to cause rather than just hoping for the best.

Mass Effect 3: The extended ending was fine and satisfying enough. I feel like people who complain about lack of seeing the result of your choices throughout the trilogy have been skipping/sleeping through the story during the game itself.
Also, Paragon Control is utilitaristically the best possible ending, both at that moment and long-term.
Also also, the indoctrination fan theory is silly and even more ridiculous than the original ending.

Silent Hill: The Room is the best of the series.

Metal Gear Solid 4: The first two acts were easily the best part of the game and pretty much the sole reason why I replayed it at all. Although I was initially turned off by the active warzone atmosphere, I eventually grew to love how expansive the possibilities were of being able to move your way through and influence the battle, or just ignore all that and sneak your way past the battlefield entirely.
The final boss fight however was barely mediocre at best and mostly just memberberries. It wasnt even half as exciting as any of the final boss fights of MGS 1, 2 or 3.

Man, I haven't seen an 'awesome-and-hilarious' campaign this sad and pointless since 4chan.

Oh well, at least we did some nice reminiscing in the process.

Even Fallout 1 is basically just like "Aye, I need you to go to the store for me"

Fallout 1 doesn't even have a tutorial phase, unless you count the rat cave you start in. But at least you start off with equipment that's decent enough to make yourself self-sufficient.

Fallout 2 on the other hand has of course the infamously tedious Temple Of Trials full of giant ants that you somehow miss like 70% of the time. And even afterwards you'll set off into the world with the most barebones tribal 'equipment'.

It's been 'dying' for over 15 years now. At this rate, it will probably outlast the degenerate/black hole era of our universe.

Kidding aside, considering the way Fandom has been running things so far, I wouldn't be surprised when the results of the upcoming election come in, regardless of the outcome, it will likely cause a shitstorm either way, so Fandom will probably use that as an excuse to close CE down.

The 'darkest' secret I'm willing to share here (but not irl) is that I absolutely love Doki Doki Literature Club.

After having played it several times in various varieties, I dove into the world of DDLC mods, and there truly are some works of art there. Like the kind that actually are intense, tug at the heart strings, and some even feel therapeutic at times (which is understandable after the main game).

Also, before anyone asks:
Yuri > Sayori > Monika > Natsuki

"AITA?"

If you have to ask, the answer is probably yes. Especially if you're posting about it online, since that's the perfect opportunity to make yourself come off as a saint and the other person in your story as the asshole.

There are two kinds of people in this world: those with some measure of self-respect and those who eat olives.

Highlander
Specifically the 'Who wants to live forever' scene. Every damn time.

Sayori from Doki Doki Literature Club. Perfect choice for such an occasion imo.

Sure, though I gotta admit someone who isn't actually on the date paying for it is a first for me.

It's not cooked, you ignoranus!

I don't play that Tragic: The Garnering crap.

I really try, but most of the time it turns out that:

• we have conflicting schedules to point that we never have time to hang out
• they end up having some hot takes that make me feel like "oh...that's a shame..." (usually along the lines of conspiracy theories or supporting right-wing populism)
• one of us is attracted to the other (or one of us has that impression) but the feeling isn't mutual
