I'm not complaining about the positive feedback and vibes. I'd like to encourage that. It's the negative feedback and comments directed at the same.
It's also just a gentle reminder as to the purpose of this board.
My opinion: positive feedback is great; calling out fellow members for past behavior, true, false, bad, or good, is not conducive to the purpose of this board.

So long as you put the Breakfast Club Cafe on the grid, it's all good.
Out.
Or throw in an homage to my mother-in-law's family and include a Krakov's women's clothing store.
Out.
And goddamn it don't forget Bill's, even if it's in Centerville.
In.
If she is your friend, she probably knows what you went through and would avoid him. If she does otherwise, she’s probably not your friend.
All God’s children — they have to die.

Perhaps there's the Scooby Gang sorority handling issues at the U of Dayton
... that's more of a Miami at Oxford thing.
or the law firm staffed solely by lawyerbots (ahem).
I like the idea of having a 'hood-centric slayers group a la Gunn's backstory, too.
They would probably be from Wayne High School, whose alumni include Kim Deal, Braxton Miller, and Dallas Egbert.
And if you don't know who Dallas Egbert was, he inspired this movie with Tom Hanks. And, as said before, Mr. Hanks later came back to the Dayton area to open his own center for movies.
And so, the cycle begins anew.
@RDC said in General Video Game Thread:
Longer games = better games is a cancer on the games industry.
The Last of Us has a run-through time of between 12 and 16 hours. At $60, that would put your cost per hour at around $4 to $5.
So, you're right.
Back to development talk.
@ZombieGenesis, you may want to watch this documentary that's coming out on September 11: https://www.pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/announcement/ten-years-after-the-great-recession-frontline-and-propublica-go-inside-one-american-citys-fight-to-recover/?utm_source=facebook&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=share_button
@gryphter said in General Video Game Thread:
Initially I was mad at it for not being "Fallout in Space", but after everything I've read and your advice here, I'm prepared to accept it as something unique.
Honestly, "Fallout in Space" isn't an idea I would get behind. The Fallout series is intimately tied to Earth, in my opinion and best placed there. No, this is more like "Saints Row in Space," but with Fallout decor and camp.
@derp said in Good or New Movies Review:
You believe there was too much exposition perhaps because you are pretty much saturated in it. Me, I had to spend a good twenty minutes explaining to David why they didn't expand upon it more, since it was run of the mill nerd mythology.
I always question the need for exposition. I've played too many games and seen too many movies that didn't engage in any substantial exposition because it wasn't important.
I mean, fuck midichlorians, right?
@coin said in MUSHgicians elements:
Not as such, no. I'm suggesting a system akin to, say, Arx's Action Points, wherein you can do things in your downtime, and the more you apply that downtime to your studies, the more your use of downtime increases your ability to improve your magic.
If you limit learning or progression in the magical arts to advancement points only achievable through Actions and/or Plots, then you would meet your goal system-wise.
@Jaded said in General Video Game Thread:
TLOU2 got delayed as well. I am wondering if everyone is trying to get a bit of extra shine with some of the new console talk coming out so that they can platform to those when they go on sale.
Probably. Or they are taking a cue from TLOU by pushing it to the limit of the existing system, and then creating a remastered version for the new one.
Because, yes, I have both the PS3 and PS4 aversions.
Also, fuck you EA for not remastering the Mass Effect series.
If you're in Ohio, give me a PM. Real property is my bread and butter.
@Derp said in General Video Game Thread:
I played it. Multiple times. I don't hate it enough to not play it. I even waited patiently for the DLC. But I have major complaints.
That's fair.
I liked it a lot, actually. It was very enjoyable to ease into. You can just roam around in the car for a few hours.
I love video game music so hard. So, here's a list of choice picks over the years from trailers and games I've liked.
@Royal said in City of Shadows:
Let's move on from this 'Mage is OP' thing early, shall we?
I concur.
Mage's flexibility makes territory management difficult, but not impossible.

I acknowledge that Space Engineers is 6 years old, but damned if it hasn't kept me distractedly entertained for the last two weeks.
I'm playing Endless Legend and it is really a breath of fresh air, holy shit.
