Talk about a dishonorable discharge.

@Tempest said in General Video Game Thread:

Good. Down with PC gaming.

Why?

@Sparks said in General Video Game Thread:

FF7 was a Playstation exclusive; so too is the remake.

FF7 was a Playstation exclusive for a limited time. It was released less than a year later for PC (on, like, 8 CDs). I'm not worried about that being the case; I'm worried about there never being a PC release.

@Selerik said in The ADD/ADHD Thread (cont'd from Peeves):

The TL;DR is that our body can ACTIVELY HATE US when we diet

I mean, turnabout is fair play

@GreenFlashlight

I don't see the problem here.

@RDC said in General Video Game Thread:

I'm gonna go out on a moral limb here and say: the slick-talking goodie-two-shoes answer early on is the morally blackest. It's basically selling people who escaped slavery back into slavery. 16-hour-workday with non-consecutive 8-hour breaks before going back to work, 7 days a week every week until you die of overwork slavery. People who have played it probably guess how I decided.

Oh, trust me, I like the leftist bent (we should be commiebuddies). That's exactly my problem with it, though. I think the potential for awakening class consciousness is undermined by the fact that it's two steps away from being Borderlands 4.

As I recall, the revolutionary leader says she's going to plant a garden inside the cannery. I assumed that meant revolution was going to take place when everyone got back.

ETA: I also waver between demsoc and socdem on a daily basis, so maybe that explains it, but I still want to be leftiebuddies. :<

@Arkandel said in Game of Thrones:

@Lotherio Let's not be too judgy guys. I can see how producers might be burned out after working on the same project for eight years.

Like hell. They're bored and they want to move on. I don't judge them for that. What I judge them for is not giving the series over to people who still give a shit.

@faraday is SUPER nice and even after I badmouthed Ares out of ignorance took tons of time to explain and help me out when I sheepishly asked her for assistance with an Ares project.

So, basically, yeah. Smart and nice.

@TNP said in General Video Game Thread:

@Tempest I think the hate was before they patched it to have a new ending.

There's one new ending, which really sucks. The hate died down a bit after the Citadel DLC let you end the story with some dignity before the game ended.

@Lotherio That's fine. Then I judge them for being complete garbage at writing stories.

@saosmash said in MU Things I Love:

aggressive honesty

Wait I've been doing something thematically???

@surreality said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:

...one of these days, I will manage to do something right. Am tired of feeling like that's probably not true.

Confirmation bias. You don't notice all the things you are doing right, just like how you don't notice when your throat isn't sore. You're doing fine.

I, on the other hand, am an irredeemable mess.

@Kanye-Qwest said in Diversity Representation in MU*ing:

no one should be expected to play anything. what is even happening now

I agree and transphobia was happening but I think it's over at present

@Roz I think this just makes me more upset, honestly. I watched the scene with Robert and Barristan talking about their first kills (aka the GODS I WAS STRONG THEN scene) the other day, and I was struck by just how much better even the simple dialogue was.

@silverfox

I actually used those when writing Rinel's description, though I chose to use wood despite the ambivalence in the post. I want to say I used "chestnut," "mahogany," and "emerald" for Rinel, and "pallid," "black," and "blue" for Alina.

If I could, I'd go back and change Rinel's "emerald" to "green," for reasons that are probably pretty obvious.

@Sparks

Yes, but you also just showcased how absolutely stupid that particular plot point was.

...I play a character named Rinel on Arx.

@Groth said in Good TV:

Before now I didn't even know Lucifer was based on a comic. I thought it was just yet another procedural with a random twist.

It's based on a (IMO generally 'meh') comic that is a spinoff of (IMO the absolutely amazing) comic Sandman.

Mazikeen looks like this in the comics, for the record:

I generally am too worried about my mistakes to worry about other people's. There's been precisely one person I can really think of having ever had a problem with, and we just sort have avoided each other since the problem was resolved. And even then, on my part the avoidance is more a "wow I don't think they like me; I ought to stay clear unless/until it looks like they have an interest in RPing with me." And that may never come, and I'm cool with that.

Also, I think there are a few differences between me and the average MUSHer:

1. I'm new to mushing (less than a year) but as far as I can tell I started mushing later in my life than a lot of people (late twenties. I am baby). So I haven't seen a lot of the really crazy shit that's happened in the past.

2. I work in criminal defense and am probably broken at some level in determining what constitutes a bad thing.

3. I make mistakes all the time and hope that forgiving other people means they'll reciprocate when I inevitably put my foot in my mouth.

4. I am a bear of very little brain and forget a lot of stuff.

Wait shit I came on here to talk about good TV.

CAN CHERNOBYL PLEASE STOP MAKING ME SAY "OH NO" OUT LOUD

Welp. This is going to go well.

The bias I've seen in MU* dom against women playing men is interesting to me. My non-MU* RP history has basically consisted of most of my RP acquaintances saying "lol dude why do you keep making female characters are you gay or something." And concern about that sort of judgment, or the judgment @surreality was making earlier about men RPing lesbians (although Rinel is bisexual, that tends to get erased when your character is in a gay relationship), was enough of a concern to me that I purposefully used gender neutral terms to refer to myself and my SO in OOC channels.

Turns out I'm a bisexual trans woman. So. Joke's on them. And me. Mostly on me. Anyway, the point is that I've mostly played who I am, even if I didn't know it at the time.
