Gir/Sister Grimm - Changeling Staff - Denver

Dammit, your list looked familiar.

From:

Although, now that I think of it, my Denver by Night name was:

At the risk of sounding an unpopular opinion, I don't see much controversial here.

I don't see anyone downplaying the tumult in Chechnya. I don't see White Wolf somehow making light of what's going on there. The Camarilla is supposed to be composed of some of the worst vampires of all time, who prey on the living because that's what must be done. What is happening in that area of the world is horrifying. And that sort of makes sense given the Camarilla's background.

This sort of controversy is going to happen when one creates fictional explanations for real life events and tragedies. I didn't see any outcry when White Wolf wrote dreck for Africa or the Far East. I didn't see any outcry when White Wolf orientalized the Middle East. And the systematic rape, torture, and destruction of Central America seems to be glossed over in favor of mythologizing death cults.

I guess we're all just more "aware" now, but srsly.

So glad I invested all my stuff so far into assassin + hunter perks and eq, to get to the "conquest" battle, which is literally nothing but a "spam basic attack fest" where anything other than the basic attack buttons is useless.

I only have the Shield-Breaker attack, and everything is just peachy in those battles. You can re-arrange your perks, though, for some drachmae.

Stun is a good ability to maneuver behind folks and gut them. Paralyze Arrows are also nifty.

Oh, and the game's advice "go level up and get stronger :D". WOW. Maybe if the enemies would STOP LEVELLING WITH ME.

As I said, it appears that the enemies stop leveling commensurately at around Level 14. Captains and other "bosses" may rise with you, but the grunts seem stuck at around 13 for me. Also, mercenaries remain as they are.

But even with that said, the cold isn't a selling point.

Wuss.

I would also love to find some non-dead games that aren't Arx.

Calaveras.

@runescryer

I'm not sure, but y'all should play on Lantern Hill's reincarnation.

Opposing counsel: wall of text in e-mail excoriating me for being a meanie

Me:

Not eating carbs or sugars is pretty damn awesome.

Except when you're hungry.

Because, then, it feels like you're dying.

An odd feeling.

oddly arousing

@thenomain said in General Video Game Thread:

Yes, but what about the video game?

I meant, in the game.

Scum.

@surreality said in Critters!:

The cats love sleeping on them, though!

Or body-slamming them.

@faraday

Not always, no.

In the case of AC: Odyssey, I remain firm in my judgment.

@insomniac7809 said in Bloopers:

...is that Cyborg beating his meat? Is that a joke they did in the show?

It is, and that's part of the joke.

This is why Teen Titans Go! > Teen Titans.

@insomniac7809

The important part is that it is an actual order recorded in the U.S. Pacer system.

@surreality said in Critters!:

(All of those cats may not be doing the same thing at once, but I think the whole forum just went OMG FLOUF!!! at once.)

@surreality said in Critters!:

...the sig says it all.

You are all fools.

@tempest said in General Video Game Thread:

What is this in-game purchase helix currency for in Odyssey? (It's currently downloading.)

For me, it doesn't matter. I don't buy that shit. As far as I'm concerned, it's weaksauce boosting for weaksauce players.

Play the motherfucking game, I figure, and fuck that impatient-ass bullshit.

@aria

Frankly, if you are willing to take and spay/neuter the cat, I don’t see why they would give a shit, unless you have eleventy billion cats.

Then it’s just an army you’re building, clearly.

@testament

It’s really hard to be like Shepard in a game that plays like you’re soloing everything.
