I love to watch someone edit things live. Seeing them edit things twelve times after the fact is great. But sometimes you're not there to see the party, it would be nice to know a post was edited after the fact. Sometimes people edit things so other peoples comments appear out of context, or to hide something they were called out on. Sometimes they think of something clever in rebuttal minutes or hours after their initial lame comment. Other times it's mundane...

So I'm suggesting timestamps or a history like wiki's!

Because as we all know the internet is real serious business.

I will admit I'm confused because judging from the post in: Tastes Less Gamey...

I'm tired of Grammar Nazi's on Facebook, forums, in games and generally in places it doesn't matter.

I have brain damage, I have nerve damage. Sometimes it's too much god damn work to type correctly. Fuck you buddy! I'll type how I want and you can fuck off and find some other way to express your egotistical self perceived superiority.

In theory I'd assume @DnvnQuinn would be editing posts all the time? Then we potentially would look at all the edits to then laugh? Or whatever you do when you miss out on watching the edit happen live?

I'm a very casual gamer and I enjoy it very much. Now I have hit spots where I died a lot and went IM TAKING MY DOG AND GOING HOME TO GET MY POWER ARMOR AND YOULL BE SORRY!!! So that has happened. Only once though. And I've killed 4 legendary things and I'm only level 14!

I just need more copper damnit.

That scrapper perk is where its at, mixed with making veggi starch (farming/cooking) for adhesive... You'll never need to buy anything.

Forgive my interjection, but.

Fallout 4's real problem is that it was made for a more dedicated type of gamer. The kind of gamer who posts five page long rants when someone says "this game is really hard. Why this game so hard?" that attack your dedication to gaming, your intellect, and your sexual prowess.

First off, the game's tutorials are basic as fuuuuuuuuuuck. Apparently there are extensive help-files buried in the PC version of the game. Those don't exist if you got it for console, and double-don't exist if you bought the digital version (ahem). And all the tutorials I've found on the internet to date have been kind of shit, because see above.

Second, locations are no longer geared to character level. Difficulty increases the further East and especially South you go. You are not given a meaningful warning about this but you are given quests that send you into Super Mutant Suicider territory while you're still carrying a BB gun and uncustomized wet toilet paper armor.

Do I still like the game? Absolutely I did. But casual it is not.

Lies... I'm a casual gamer and that game was easy to learn. Where's the hard part? And spoiler alert... If you shoot the nuke in the suicide mutant's hand he dies before he gets to you while usually killing all his friends... JUST SAYING.

Side note on the console gaming talk... I have a PS4 and just got an Xbox 1, spoiler alert - PS4 is WAY better.

I...I'm confused. Help.

It's because they don't care for or respect the medium they are posting in.

Mind you, I'm not trying to justify the practice but I've (at times snidely, I must admit) corrected people's rouges and of course the obligatory your/you're antics on WoW only to have them grumble back something about this being only a game and obviously who cares about grammar, spelling or for that matter, manners?

I do the same thing, man. Brofist. Try to imagine I am bumping my fist against yours. ?)

I had to do this with a man who was a Senior Administrator at a Hospital and it gave me depression to imagine that this chucklefuck gets to decide how people live and die...and I don't.

My excellent parsing of the English language certainly impresses all the Asian women on this dating website I'm on, but that doesn't make me feel good.

It just makes me feel like that guy from Napoleon Dynamite, Kip, or whatever.

"Yeah, whatever, fags, I'm, like, totally talking to this many hot Asian women right now, over the Internet."

DUDE!

So, check this out. I'm a Cirno about to tell a cool story, bruhs and bruh-ettes.

Maybe you've wondered about this.

When people include information about their place of employment in their Facebook Profile, Facebook then appends a neat little note to their username, detailing their job.

Now, I see some people who express themselves in garbled, awful English, with terrible grammatical syntax, (I am not an English Professor, but still, after reading a good deal of books, I have a very good idea of what a sentence should look like, and their sentences do not look like that at all, nor do they resemble any of the practice sentences in the manuals of writing the English language I've read) missing punctuation, no capitals (or too many capitals), and so on.

Maybe you've seen this in Facebook postings, too.

Inevitably, I find that these same people have job titles such as "Manager at Really Big Corporation" or "Chief Executive Officer of Prestigious Business, Inc", or "Software Engineer at Microsoft".

I'm not making this up. I'll start taking screenshots and documenting this phenomenon, if anyone harbors any doubts.

How...how the fuck does that work? I mean, I'm a nobody who does a very basic job, and expressing myself in English that is easy on the eyes comes naturally to me.

It's not like I need to pore over a stack of dictionaries, a Thesaurus, and four manuals of style for an hour before producing my posts, either. Anyone who has MU*d with me or had a live chat with me will attest to this fact.

Are these people really that stupid?

Do they not care? How can they not care?

Have we been wrong all this time, and you can just type like a retard on the Internet, while being a genius business manager or a software engineer? Because (and I've been on the Internet for nearly two decades, now) expressing yourself in legible, properly parsed English has always been a mark of intelligence, to the best of my knowledge.

Can you just get these jobs while being a retard? Have I grossly overestimated the amount of intelligence you require to be an exec or a software engineer?

I...I'm confused. Help.

It's the internet, it isn't real communication, #BlameItOnTwitter

Man, we need a Dominion game... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominion_(TV_series)

Eldritch is gone, Reno and Fallcoast are on a downturn right now and City of Hope is... well. City of Hope.

In the interest of keeping the community together I'd be willing to work with the rest of you to get another place going. I realize there's some potential projects coming up but there really should always be at least one 'catch-all' World of Darkness game that is set in a large city and caters to the major spheres so we all have a fall-back place to RP.

As for what game system... a lot of people don't like 'Beats' and the weird hipster stuff going on with nWoD 2.0, while others don't like the standard nWoD model. I'd lean towards basic nWoD as we all (all as in players of WoD games) have a familiarity with it and could live with it.

If anyone's interested this sort of game wouldn't require too much brainstorming. There wouldn't be anything crazy or fancy theme-wise. It would just require hosting, a coder, and a handful of people to run it.

Going nWoD 1e and being a catch all would already be covered by Fallcoast wouldn't it?

@Arkandel said:

@Thenomain Why would it draw fire? Eldritch was a good game - even a very good one for the first few months - and it had some very ambitious goals.

Yes, those goals weren't met but begrudging you, @Coin and @Eerie for it would be absurd. The game was still fun while it lasted. Thanks for making it happen guys.

Agreed, I might talk shit but for the most part its because I wished and wanted Eldritch to be successful. Even though @Derp is a real POS both @Coin and @Eerie are alright by me... Not that other dude though... >.>

At this point we are not ready to announce which direction we will be going. Because a decision is yet to be finalized. If anyone has a good argument to sway myself and my collaborators in a certain direction, hit us with it.

Just be sure you and the collaborators want to really make the game and sustain that game. If not the want and drive could be better served making current games more successful.

How you doing supporting that demon sphere?

Hey, if it were up to me, I would remove Demon entirely. It's a complete pain in the ass, and doesn't play nicely with others. Certain players make me want to send teams of hunter angels to drag them out of whatever hole they're in and use them as an example of why not to be stupid. But as an example of exactly what I'm talking about, @Coin has a vision for the game, and no matter what my personal beliefs on the matter are, I ultimately support what he wants to do with it. Because that's how this system works. So as much as you'd like to snark at me and continue to be petty and juvenile, the fact that you're still there is just testament to why having everything under one guiding vision is a good idea.

Word, I wait for the day Eerie returns with the rest of the demons but I think we all see the writing on the wall... But the game is a success so what would I know as a player?

Hunter would be sweet but it would need to have stories, plot and the like. Most games I've seen pop up don't want to invest the time that I think it would take to make the game fun to play.

Love or hate that response but if you think about it you'll have to agree... What would make this new hunter game different than Hunter on FallCoast/ Reno / ect?

In short: I'm pretty sure I'm a good team player. But I'm the team player that will stand firm on issues that relate to my players or that will lead, in my experience, to bad outcomes. When that happens, I have to ask if I want to continue to volunteer on the team, or move on so as to avoid a messy game divorce.

See, I'm kind of with @Thenomain on this one in that what you think you're saying isn't necessarily coming off how you think you're saying it. To me, this reads:

"You might have a vision of the game, but I have a vision of the sphere, and if what I want to do isn't something that you want to allow in your game, then I'm going to be standoffish and obstinate about it until you either concede or I rage quit, no matter your justification for it because my opinion is ultimately the most important one and to hell with you if you can't see my logic."

I've known you to be a fairly reasonable, logical person, but this seems somewhat more antagonistic than what I've seen out of you previously, and definitely isn't something that I would rate very highly in a staff member I was looking to higher to help me manage my vision of a particular game. Perhaps give an example of what you mean, here, so that it comes off a bit less 'fuck you' and we can see what you have in mind?

@Derp, you make me:

How you doing supporting that demon sphere?

@Admiral said:

I... am not afraid of deathclaws. Thanks to awful pathing in the game you can pretty much avoid ever being hit by a deathclaw by just going up some stairs. Or standing on a ledge.

It might take a lot of ammo to kill them, but my most recent character uses a switchblade exclusively (serrated, of course. It does a ton of damage and attacks a million times) so I have tons and tons and tons of excess ammo to spend.

Melee is really the way to specialize in Fallout 4. My character started out with strength 10 and good endurance/agility and I've yet to run into any trouble or even die accidentally like my gun character seemed to do constantly.

I've gotten really into the crafting side of the game and have a blast switching it up between my .50 cal sniper rifle (suppressed of course), plasma rifle, and combat shotgun along with a range of other weapons that fit all situations. Once I figured out veggie starch turns into an adhesive you can use in crafting I was able to make everything I could ever need thanks to the farm I built at my "HQ" in Sanctuary.

All in all I have to say I'm impressed with the game. Most games don't hold my attention for very long. The only other game that's had my attention like Fallout 4 is/was Destiny.

I love Reno but to me it's the same, there is no driving force to lead story.

I'm just starting to have fun on Reno. But I'll say this: it was work. I've rarely seen a game so newbie unfriendly. Finding RP was near impossible to begin with. It's still difficult with the majority of the player base.

I hear you about that.

I'm sick of other people that play on mu*'s for the most part. I mean I can be an asshole IC but I think ooc I'm pretty decent. Then you get pricks like Derp and Spider and the crazy of people like the ones that run that Project Fuction game(s) that just ruin entire games. I backed off playing and stopped even trying to let my mind match OOC info to characters but for the most part it all feels like a huge waste of time as of late.

Am I the problem? Maybe. But games seem to have lost the drive they use to have. The compelling story, the want to build on that story and to interact with other characters. I was critical in the past of Eldrich but it was honestly because that game could be great. The spheres are there, the players, and the backdrop.

I love Reno but to me it's the same, there is no driving force to lead story. But for me I love some Fallout 4, Destiny, and Star Wars Battlefront so at least I have something to fall back on to do in place of playing on a mu*. If you have a PS4 hit me up and we can get down or even an Xbox 1 , I just got myself one for Christmas >.>
