I didn't understand it either.
Erin was never the best shooter or fighter. She wasn't the most stealthy or the most clever. It was her spread of abilities that made her useful, and gave her the occasional moment to shine.
Well, that and getting repeatedly injured in the groin.

My wife says that I am enough children.
Your mom said that you were enough children.
@Clarion said in Water finds a crack:
I don't have the same kind of time to roleplay that I used to, and it's freeing to play a game where there's no optimization rabbit hole to fall down. There are no daily tasks to hit, nothing to grind, and I can just log in and play when I want to play. I don't worry that I'm missing out on code rewards for stuff I don't actually want to do.
This is why I like Ares.
@Pyrephox said in Water finds a crack:
So, like, if you have a mechanism where someone can Do Something to earn XP, or Arx-like resources, or Luck Points, you can only gain so many in a single time period, and once you hit that limit, there is NO NEED to grind any further, and you can be assured that no one else is somehow getting 'more' by doing more.
This is why I like Arx.
My opinion: I like something to do that is productive but does not require engagement with others, and Arx provides that in spades. When I do engage, I like having a tangible reward too, so long as it is available to all, up to a limit.
@Ominous said in RL things I love:
That gif has a severe deficit of feline presence that we have come to expect from you. Here is a suitable replacement.
Agreed.
It looks good, and I have that on queue after I get through She-Ra.
Anyhow, any show with a toxic male villain named Man Boy is the best.
@Ominous said in Welcome to the Euphoria!:
Corporations are started by someone with an idea and investors. As it grows and employees join the company, they gain stock. When the investors and the owner want out, they can sell their shares to the employees and it becomes an employee owned business, like Publix.
Let's talk about this stuff elsewhere, please.
But also, like, this is what corporations were supposed to be back in the day but trust humanity to fuck it all up.
I think the question we are all wondering is:
i can has cheezburger?
@ZombieGenesis said in What Types of Games Would People Like To See?:
The system doesn't imply that you can force another character to sleep with your character but the implication is that your character could turn another character on and the other player would RP accordingly(however that may be; with anger, shame, by reciprocating, etc).
Some games expressly point out that this is the case, yet players like to keep on twisting it to get their thang on. It's not a knock on the system directly; it's a knock on the fact that such systems often attract a certain kind of player that other players would rather avoid.
Kids' shows are getting so good.
I laugh so hard at this clip all the damn time.
This is a gentle reminder that Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse is the best Spider-Man movie, and possibly the best comic movie, of all time.

Dear Douchebag Attorney,
WHAT THE FUCK DO YOU WANT
Oh, wait, I know the Civil Rules.
Sorry.
@Sunny said in Why no Star Trek games?:
There are PLENTY of people for whom the roleplay IS actually the point.
I think this is why cosplay is successful too.
I think that Star Trek games are not popular these days because Star Trek doesn't seem to be as popular as it was back in the 90s. Although there are two current series, one is a throwback using old characters.
I think Star Trek requires a certain mindset which is difficult to hold onto right now. The idea of an ideal society for humanity seems a far-cry from what we have now. The idea of exploring the unknown and appreciating cultures is wonderful, but I think it lacks the same luster yester-years had.
