This explains so much.

Updated with recent times and remembered characters, for whoever might care.

Are a lot of stuff like that, here in Sweden in general norse symbols have been associated with neo-nazism and general nastiness. I've been accused several times of having such thoughts because I have a few pieces of jewelry I wear to daily stuff as well as renactment. Is a bit sad.

Also the teutonic cross being a nazi thing too. bugs me, especially with it being a very very well established symbol in Europe before WW2. Although I understand it's a rebellion biker thing in the US too? I don't know.

Symbols I enjoy but are spoiled.

Confederate flag holds no meaning or signifiance to me at all, being a filthy foreigner.

And read the books, they are good. Next one translated in 2016. HYPE:

So apparantly the guy who does a lot of economy stuff for my family? In jail, for beating a couple uncounciouss and burning a house down with them inside.

That's a thing now apparantly.

It's always been a thing, we just usually don't get caugh... I mean, yeah, what? That's crazy. Who does that?

Guy has become the prime suspect in another double homocide.

Apparantly might possibly be the first two double homocides in Sweden, or the newspaper claimed something to that nature.

I really appreciate the friends I have that are able to take the irregular occasion of me fucking up or being a dick. And come back from it and things being as they were, I feel so many people these days are very unforgiving in that regard.

I also recently learned I can make more complicated sandwiches at home. Who knew.

Chill a little people, if people want to play there they can. No need to jump down the guy's throat as soon as he shows his face.

@Olsson And that gratification HAS to come in the form of xp? Your character, which has zero to do with the plots that you are running, should be allowed to become more powerful simply because you as a player have the ability to tell a good story?

What else would it come in form of? Aren't that many things you can reward them with. Items? Bonuses? Authority?

But here, lets turn this around for a second. Why should your CHARACTER advance in ability and power for something YOU did as a player that had absolutely nothing to do with your character? The entire system is built around getting xp for PLAYING a character. Not for STing. There is nothing in the books that mention the ST/DM/GM getting xp for running the plot. So why should you?

Because you want to reward the storyteller for storytelling because they are needed for stuff to happend, they are more important than the regular players because there are fewer of them.

Also nothing in the books are meant for MU*s, it's meant for tabletop.

In my experiance most of the people who actually want to Storytell will do so anyway. Atleast for me.

So. What is Amber?

So just finished The Witcher 3 (took 50 hours) and I will say it is the most engrossing game I can remember playing currently, infact I would claim to me it is one of the best games I have played. As can guessed by how I was virtually glued to my computer and unproductive as hell this week.

Now when I've finished it I have that slight sense of loss, like when you've finished something but damnit you were enjoying that, I remember having had that feeling about books before but not games. So I guess this is just a glowing reccomendation from me, but man. Loved that game.

So after a month or two of fucking idiotic bureaucracy and a interview, it has been decided I am indeed allowed to continue to study at my University next semester, yay.

Seriously I almost didn't get to continue because I had one small ass assingment failed because a certain person is the sort of person to fail me because I missed the capital letter in one of the authors in my references, and wouldn't let me fix it and turn it in again til next semester, knowing that I need to have the entire first semester passed to be allowed to continue to the third.

But yes I get so, so yay.

I mean I personally prefer to play characters who cause conflict in some manner, I find it more fun and intresting than just sitting having casual chats about life. if I want to hang with a friend these days I tend to just bug a friend and hang with them, but who knows I might just be an asshole looking to be an asshole.

But I would also say I find a lot of times people will assume you're a dick because you play a character they might be a dick, which is only natural since often that is their first interaction with me and it is all they have to go on. Even more so since we only have those OOC letters before something to try and differensiate (did I spell that right?`) out personas, and we often get influenced and people identify us with those personas.

Still I found it meh when people don't like me because my character isn't compiant and friendly.

@Olsson Yay! I'm pretty much in the same boat except I don't think I'll be able to stream it. Record it, maybe since OBS isn't the resource hog that Fraps is.

Have you had sex on a unicorn yet?

I am actually yet to bang anyonee, and I am 13 hours in. I must be bad at the banging people part. But who knows that the future holds! Unicorns, probably.

@Insomnia said:

That sucks. If you can wait a couple of months to have sex on a unicorn, I would suggest waiting for school to start. At least here anyway things go on sale then.

So I tried running it, I mean who knows maybe it'll work. It runs just fine on medium graphics currently with being 10 hours in. So yay, no need to spend money there yet.

I was at the end of making some wildling having fled south character, may revisit the idea.

Having said that, have you checked canyourunit? Is it one or two things you need you can switch out, or is it a whole new computer?

It's just CPU,
Graphics, RAM everything I got enough to be able to play Witcher 3 at high. It's just CPU, but I am unsure if a new modern CPU would fit with my current motherboard hence why I might need a new one there.

Apparantly I need a new CPU for Witcher 3, which also probably means I need a new motherboard which will cost me. And on that note I still seem unable to gain employment over the summer which makes problem A a bit difficult.
