So been playing the Spider-Man game on PS4 and it's real good. Combat is fast, moving around Manhattan is cool, and the story stuff seems interesting, at least for someone who has a cursory knowledge of Spider-Man stuff. The one down side is some of the side content is downright repetitive, so I do kind of give it a few knocks against it for that.

To combat the repetitive side missions, I've been trying a different tactic.

I get really, really stoned.

Joke(kind of) aside, I'm loving this game. Web swinging around NYC is always fun. Relaxing like a smart garden. With punching and witty dialogue.

Haha. Yeah. It's the crimes man. THE CRIMES. But I finally cleared them all yesterday and got my gold trophy for 100%ing every district. Now to finish up the main story and get that Platinum.

@Arkandel @Auspice @Ganymede Flagging the mods, but can we rip out @magee101's posts and the ones responding to them into a hogpit thread? You can throw this one in too. That way this thread can stay focused on Cobalt's project and any updates to it.

@thenomain

@thenomain Mass Effect died thanks to Andromeda. Thanks EA.

Someone set up a google calendar or outlook reminder so we can all be reminded of what happens to Mudkraft.

As someone who is lazy, I can respect that.

Are gifs not enough?

@rizbunz There's a Canadian version of "This Land is my Land"? This feels wrong.

the twelve listed seems a bit few.

Wait, there are only twelve Kiths listed? Like, total, in the whole book?

Does that surprise anybody, after the Vamp book with 0 bloodlines and the Mage book with what, 1 Legacy?

Yup. Eleventh Question.

Not a fan of Touchstones in general. It probably works for tabletop, but in MU it is 100% a useless thing that never comes up ever.

Yeah, I agree 100%.

@thatonedude Come on man. Let's not hash it all out again in another thread.

@thenomain For me (I loaded the site through a clean box), I saw mudkraft is coming with a countdown of 155 days. Had some artwork of, I am guessing, Warcraft characters (On the right was the Night Elf with horns dude).

From left to right, it's Arthas, Deathwing and Illidan

Strange. I clicked it again and yes, that's what I get. A whole lot of nothing, but pretty nothing.

It originally pushed me to a site called GodLike, where it was non-stop Lorem Ipsum, broken CSS, broken images, and the "you're ordering this t-shirt and this hoodie". I curiously clicked on the "hoodie" link and the previous description and placeholder image were there.

I think that makes your question, "What is this?" even more prevalent.

What is this?

I got none of this. Thanks uBlock Origin!

Anyway, if this is a Warcraft MUD, I guess it coooouuuulllddd be interesting, but RPing Warcraft stuff was never something I could get into.

@sunnyj I get what you're saying, but that's not a problem that's gonna go away any time soon since Onyx Path wants to publish like 1 book every 2 years. I don't know if it's just the way the RPG space is heading or what. DnD 5E has been out for a while and only has a few core books. By this time in 4E, there were at least double the books. Even more back in 3.5E.

The thing for me is, 2E seems to streamline and make a lot of improvements over 1E, even with what's out there. Are there a bunch of dumb as fuck fighting styles or other crazy shit? No. But there's certainly a breadth of options, especially if you do plug in the Covenants book + stuff like Half-Damned and Hurt Locker.

@thatonedude Maybe he means there aren't fifty splat books for each game line to buy, I dunno.

@templari said in MSB, SJW, and other acronyms:

I'm going to be as short as possible in my response that I will probably be forced to regret.

I feel that it has been made abundantly clear on this forum, unless one is left leaning in nature, they should keep their mouths shut. Regardless of topic. If you try to speak otherwise, the dogpile will come.That if you are a moderate, or right leaning, you're simply not welcome here.

That. Is exactly how this place has made me feel.

I'll use this as a place to openly admit that I'm a filthy fucking centrist.

But even so - calling somebody an idiot is not hate speech, nor is agreeing with somebody calling somebody an idiot. Unless there was doxxing, RL threats, etc. involved, I'm still not seeing how this is some horrific job-endangering action. She was rude, yes, and I believe people should treat each other better.

I think the problem with the situation is that the person she called out is a major community contributor to ArenaNet, someone who streams and makes videos for the game to the point where they have an NPC in the game named after him. So it wasn't some "rando" trying to engage, it was someone who has ties with the company engaging with a developer on a topic he had interest in (and it later came out he had a speech in one of his streams wildly praising her work).

I don't think she should have been fired necessarily, but what she did was wildly unprofessional and so I can't really blame Arenanet for doing what they did. I also find most of the response from 'games media' to be laughable at this point too. Simple fact is, if you are posting on your twitter or Facebook and you have your employer clearly visible for the world to see, it's on you how you behave on those platforms. If someone is being an asshat? Block or ignore them, don't engage. This is one of the major downsides to social media and there are a lot of companies that have pretty clear social media policies because of things like this.

I also think @Bobotron makes a good point.

Nice flowchart.

I assume there are some levels in between just a plain guard and say the knight-captain? Or the artisans? Like if there is a Master Blacksmith, like someone who is clearly topnotch but isn't the Guildmaster, would they have a form of address on their own?
