But one day they might be the one on top! And it will be because they worked hard and deserve it!

My favorite thing is seeing attempted memes of “this is the future the left wants with socialism/communism/anticapitalism” and… It’s literally just a picture of regular old capitalism making sure certain people get the worst of it. Usually houseless camping hotspots, and slums that supply larger wealthier areas with their luxuries and labor.

I haven’t heard of her, but I’m tossing the popcorn in the microwave as we speak!

Shhhhhhhhhhh

If I don’t know my master plan, then THEY certainly don’t either!

Also I do intentionally leave some things a bit more vague, with ideas of what I want to do, but I’m hoping the players will start theorizing amongst themselves so I can incorporate their stuff into the game.

It gives them a nice sense of accomplishment to have “predicted” something, and I think they feel more engaged in the campaign.

Or maybe I’m just a bad DM…

Boring anecdote ahead!

I remember watching a Historical European Martial Arts (HEMA) video about Capo Fero while singing some Skallagrim videos, and immediately I went “hey wait a minute that sounds familiar” and racked my brain trying to figure out who’s voice I was hearing in my head saying “capo Fero”

Of course once I realized it, I had to watch the entire movie, because one does not simply watch clips of The Princess Bride…

Anyway, that led me down a huge long road of videos all about sword fighting in movies and how realistic (or laughably unrealistic) they can be.

I was actually surprised to see halfswording in Season of the Witch when someone fights Ron perlman. That movie isn’t amazing cinema, but it’s fun and doesn’t deserve it’s 10% RT score. It should be at least 15%.

New headcannon, that’s why Gandalf was so bothered every time Pip did something dumb, because he felt like it was a failing on his part as an ancestor.

100% confirmed.

Why does Sony always feel like you could replace anything they say with “You should consider yourself lucky we allow you to play our games.”

by the time it gets here

Can we move the timetable up?

I’ve started directly questioning the intelligence of people who can’t understand how ocean and air currents work to stabilize polar vortices and disruption of those currents causes disruption of super cold air.

And I have started getting a bit condescending while saying this as if any third grader should understand it so a fully grown adult not understanding it clearly shows some sort of mental deficiency that didn’t get caught earlier in life.

It probably means I’m a bad person but I feel a little satisfaction at their increased anger over just refuting with facts. Because you’re explaining in what sounds like it should be simple ways why they are dumb and the usually slightly narcissistic minds I deal with like this simply cannot handle that.

My mother in law’s rebuttal, after a few days and in text form, was “I DO KNOW all about the science I just don’t believe it’s happening”

And at that point, she has admitted she no longer believes reality.

You can say “I don’t believe it’s raining” all you want, but that water hitting your face won’t be any less wet.

Please… No more…

You take that back, I protect my marines while playing!

You know… As much as possible while charging headfirst into the most powerful empire the galaxy has seen in 100,000 years hell bent on destroying humanity and all we represent…

Ah yes, that pursuit and sharing of knowledge known as “paying a shitload of money for the privilege of making a company that ultimately provides nothing of value some extra cash”

I didn’t know ml is cool with ultracapitalism as long as it’s under the veneer of knawlege.

it sure seems like they’re colluding to restrict the amount of oil in the market

Um…

Yes? 100% always has been, they literally have meetings and what is essentially a corporate union specifically to do it. And they’re not subtle about it.

Is this really news to some people?

Every time I hear or read that phrase, all I can think is “BITCH I NEVER SAID I WAS TOLERANT OF YOUR SHIT”

I have noticed that I get less motion sick in some games on my new 240hz screen, but unfortunately I still get it.

That said, I’m unsure what my actual fps is in Doom/E but I’d wager somewhere around 100.

Checking FOV and disabling motion blur, chromatic abberation, and DoF are my first things before I even start a new game.

I just assume it’s because I’m getting older, and I’m not sitting in a proper chair most of the time.

How long before Israel declares it a hamas outpost and bombs the shit out of it?

Okay I have a confession to make…

I haven’t finished a Doom since Doom 3 (2004).

I have loved every minute of Doom (2016) and Doom Eternal, but I haven’t finished either of them.

I get too motion sick to play video games like that anymore.

Even Titanfall I have to take a break between levels.

I’ll finish them someday, I promise…

Prey was the first game in a long time to make me stop and go “what the fuuuuuuuck?” in a long time.

It’s a good feeling.

I’d absolutely love to know where the team expected to take the story after the ending(s) if they made a direct sequel.

More like Prey, for sure.
