Fffffffffffuck people who bathe in perfume.
I have to literally take a huge breath and hold it for like thirty seconds when this one woman in my office comes over to say hi because otherwise I gag.
I would like to upvote this like 50 times. When I worked as a security guard I sat next to another guard who wore so much flowery acidic perfume that it literally burned my throat and nostrils to the point I got sick for a few days.
I love my brother. I love his tenacity. I love his endurance. I love that even when stressing out he finds a reason to smile at other people. I also envy these things. He tries hard to accept the things he can not change and change the things he can.
Inter-company emails that just have me on BCC should not give me stress first thing in the morning. Or having to resist the urge to tell someone they're a sanctimonious prick and that working with them has not and never will be a pleasure. I hate how my boss bends over backwards to kiss ass instead of being more forthright in his responses.
@ThugHeaven
Thanks for the information Thug I appreciate it. With what you've said and what I've read since my original post, I have decided to wait for the price drop down to the $15-25 dollar range.
Torment: Tides of Numenera is finally out. I almost Kickstarted this in 2014 when it was announced but missed the boat.
Today I'm reading reviews on it and it seems like more than half of the promised content offered through stretch goals was cut, a lot of game budget was used to redesign base game mechanics to make it marketable to consoles, and the entire campaign can be done in about 10 hours.
This has moved me onto the fence about purchasing it. Does anyone have any actual gameplay experience with this that might be able to give a review opinion about it?
I used to log everything but I hit a point where I just quit giving a crap about logging stuff.
@Ganymede
This is true. And machine guns are a great way to exploit crits once armor has been stripped.
@Ganymede
Flamers are a greatly undervalued and underused weapon of destruction in BT.
@Lithium said in General Video Game Thread:
The ShadowHawk does do one thing well though, it harasses at all ranges. The LRM and AC-5 have good range, while the medium laser and the SRM has short range.
I agree with Gany, I would say that besides mobility, its weapons are actually the other weakness of the Shadowhawk. The AC 5 and an LRM 5 is just not that good at harassing. And the SRM2 and the single Medium Laser makes it weak versus most other mediums and some 30 ton lights in the short-range brawl. There are better ways to invest the 15 tons (approx) for a better mix of weapons.
Hmm.

There are a ton of great mods for Mount & Blade. I'm hoping the new game will be just as friendly to the mod community.
I'll echo Theno's sentiments. Size of grid does not matter to me, so long as it is thematic and the rooms have reason to exist, and fit the setting.
My RL Anger for the day. I do remote office work for a security company. My boss has us use a program that lets us, as a bonus feature, track the phones of our technicians. He is constantly calling me to get their locations -after he has talked to them and knew where they were- and because the program sometimes futzes up he then has me call them to reset their phones via the old 'turn it off and on' technique. Which doesn't work. Which he's been told doesn't work. And he's been told the program isn't meant to replace actual GPS tracking software, as it only updates when the techs use the app for field work.
I have fielded more calls today from him wanting to know where techs are than I have taken phone calls from clients.
Grr bosses.

@Auspice That sounds like it is a moment like the kitten era broccoli moment: goddammit why do I not have a video camera built into my brain so I could have recorded that adorableness to share with the known world!!
Black Mirror had an episode about something like this...just not adorable cats were involved.
@Ganymede
Griffin or the Wolverine. And if you're a fan of Capellan mechs you could even toss in the Vindicator.
@Ganymede
I was going to say that it was outclassed by a Locust but I didn't want to derail the thread too much. But really...it could be outclassed by a Locust. It really does have the worst loadout for long range combat for a medium and the worst load out for short range for a medium. I mean fuck any medium with a large laser or a PPC is a better option - which means this is also outclassed by the single PPC Panther, another light.

But yes, Hairbrained is an awesome company, does good games. I'm waiting for the beta to come in March, I backed it at the 50$ level.
This is very true.
I fucking hated the Shadow Hawk. Worst fucking 'mech ever.
Bold for emphasis...and the truth.
@jibberthehut
They chose well when they picked Olyphant for that role. I've enjoyed him in other things and he's just as great in this.
@Lithium
That's what I thought given the intro video. So that's probably what it is.
