    • RE: Searching for Star Wars RPI

      @faraday said in Searching for Star Wars RPI:

      But to illustrate my point - doing the die rollers in both Earthdawn and FFG took about half an hour each. Doing chargen or an advanced system like combat/space/econ? Many many hours. (So, no, not something I do for a random fun challenge, sorry @Ganymede :))

      Clearly. I'm trying to use my Force Choke command on you, and it's not working.

      You all tried real hard, but I pretty much stopped caring about other games when I saw this.

      @Ganymede Oh I've lost a lot of weight and I'm still fat, I'm 23 pounds overweight, but I have central sleep apnea. It happens even when I was sitting up or laying forward (I sometimes sleep sitting cross-legged and laying forward over my legs).

      You're not fucking fat.

      An ENT may be able to help.

    • RE: An awkward situation with someone wanting to help...

      Best question: would I want to work with this person in real life?

      If the answer is "no," then it's a good bet that you shouldn't bring them on. It's been said to death: this hobby is collaborative.

      @Kay

      Can you provide a review of the game when you can? I am thinking of dipping my toes back in, and WoD is a familiar, warm blanket.

      So been playing FTL finally, surprisingly addictive game for how 'simple' it is. Unlocked a few ships now, still haven't survived the final system yet with any ship lol.

      Try Deep Space Derelicts and Into The Breach.

      I'll see you in a few years.

      Naughty Dog knows how to write emotion into their stories and convey that into their games.

      They do, but it's the emotion in their rendering and voice acting that makes their stories even more special. I don't know how they so vividly capture all of Ashley Johnson's eye movements in that scene, but damn if I didn't know exactly how Ellie felt when she said that no one was looking at her.

      @sockmonkey said in RL Anger:

      I'm not sure if it will amount to anything (California laws favor the renter over the landlord and they strike me as the sort of people who wouldn't go down without a fight, kicking and screaming all the way) but it felt so nice to bond with my neighbor today about them; I can only imagine how much better it will feel to share their shenanigans with my landlord as well (who I suspect already views them as PITAs for other community related requests they have made).

      Nothing lasts forever, even cold November Rain shitty ass leases.

      The roller would be stupid simple, tho we will see what the Talents do to it.

      Add a bonus here and there for particular rolls. That's about it.

      I can play Final Fantasy VI on my iPhone. That's why I like it.

      Plus, and I suppose this is a spoiler, but you fucking lose.

      Fucking. Lose.

      Like, you don't win. You only get revenge.

      Also, stay on the floating continent as long as possible. You'll thank me later.

      @coin said in Good TV:

      I only watched the first season because I was watching it with @Eerie and then real life forced her to ditch me ;__________; but that show should definitely have been called "The Adventures of Kublai Khan and his Dumbass White Friend".

      If this show was so named, I'd watch it every day and force my kids to do so as well.

    • RE: Good TV

      @auspice said in Good TV:

      It's been said, repeatedly, that a large part of WB's issue with DC vs. Disney's with Marvel is that Pixar/Marvel (and part of why the partnership has worked so well is both studios took the same approach pre-merger) always gave a single person creative control / the buck stopped with them. WB has a board of directors at the helm over their movies who make decisions based on marketing.

      I disagree. I am of the opinion that the DCCU is failing because, unlike the MCU, the execs at WB decided it was a bad idea to actually give each of the main members an origin tale so that you would actually give a shit about them.

      Prior to The Avengers, Captain America got one film, Thor got one, Iron Man got 2, and the Hulk got 1 or 2, depending on your perspective. Either way, when The Avengers opened, you had a feel for the characters and their background, and didn't need to waste time in the film going through that.

      With the DCCU, you had Man of Steel, and then Dawn of Justice. Aside from Snyder's terrible direction, the central protagonist in Dawn of Justice -- Bruce Wayne -- is largely an enigma before he is launched into this head-to-head confrontation; although you generally know who Batman is (who doesn't?), it's pretty clear that there are a lot of bits and pieces of information missing about him, making him hard to relate to (beyond the fact that he's fucking Batman, but the Nolans still presented his background in Batman Begins).

      Then you have Wonder Woman, which was magic because DC did what Marvel/Disney does and allow the directors to see their creative vision through.

      So, Justice League has a lot of problems without even discussing the script. Aquaman has zero movies; The Flash has zero movies; Cyborg has zero movies; and Batman, arguably, has zero movies. You have to wedge some of that into the movie, and that's going to make it rushed and jumbled. Whedon didn't have to deal with that when he did The Avengers. Add to it Snyder having to drop out -- and good for him for doing so for the right reasons -- and WB should have fucking delayed the project to get their shit right the first time.

      I would have zero concerns about Disney/LucasFilm delaying Han Solo due to the massive changes in direction.

      It's theorized that a large part of why Wonder Woman did so well is they thought 'eh, female hero, female director, no one's gonna like it anyway. let's just get it over and done with so we can prove it won't do well.' and they let Patty Jenkins actually do her job.

      Yeah, well, serves them fucking right.

      I'll admit that I was a bit leery when I found out Sir Kenneth Branagh was going to direct Thor, but, boy, was I wrong.

      Oh, very cool. I haven't played d20 in YEARS (and years and years) but I'm at least no stranger to it. Very nice that people are willing to build +sheets on there. I am not the most mechanics-y player around, so that's something in favor of that game.

      The other good thing about SAGA and these games is that the CGen and help files are very robust. You could feasibly learn the system just by checking out all of help files. Plus, searching online for .pdf compendia is easy.
