    what an unpleasant character

    What did you think of Vivienne, Will?

    I'm just curious if you'll buck the trends twice over, because so far I have only heard about people liking Sera and I have only heard of people disliking Vivienne.

    what is there to like about sera? that she likes the common man? she just wants to fuck with everyone like some derpy harley quinn with a bad accent.

    vivienne is the worst because she is so condescending but hey i'm pretty sure i'm the hero here, lady

    She's had a fucked up upbringing and made it to a level of notoriety and still cares mostly about commoners when she could get a job as a nightingale or bard like Leliana

    she's not an anarchist either, despite initial impressions, the more you talk with her the better she is

    basically the entire world Dragon Age is set in is completely horrible and none of the factions are good and Sera seems to be the only one who recognizes that

    There are some corners of the net who:

    1) thought all the storm troopers were still (D)Jango.

    2) thought the empire was racist instead of simply pro-human, largely xenophobic.

    Okay but both of these things are wrong.


    So. Not only are these people thinly veiled racist but they are also bad at knowing Star Wars.


    Daaaaaamn. Sucks to suck. But I hope they continue vocalizing their idiocy because it's hilarious.
    How is it thinly veiled racism exactly?

    lol teenagers, mirite?

    Its why Catcher in the Rye is awesome. You read it as a teenager and think he's understandably angsty and just misunderstood and you read it as an adult and go lol I was such an idiot

    When I read it as a teen I was very bored with it. It felt like nothing worth remembering ever happened in it and that the book didn't say much of anything.

    I made a game! Hotline Maui. Requires mouse and keyboard.

    i find vivienne really unpleasant too. she's so goddamned snotty and rude all the time for no reason.

    usually i run with cole, dorian and either solas or cassandra. sometimes i swap in sera until i get sick of her.

    I am still running with Solas, Cass and Varric because they are still fun. Solas and Varric have lots of neat exchanges.

    I started playing legend of grimrock II

    It's p fun but I forgot it's semi real time? I'd prefer it to be completely turn based. This whole dancing around in a circle rote dexterity test grows tiresome

    But that is how EoB and MoM are, and they are the pinnacle of Blob combat, imo. Even better than Wizardry (Wizardry is better in other ways like character building).

    Wizardry seems lie it would drive you insane with party building

    It did! I never got more than maybe 30 or 40 hours into any of them. Could not stop rerolling.

    I literally spend most of my time walking places or doing things that don't involve thought thinking about RPG characters and parties when I am playing a game. Spent so much time thinking through IWD party.

    Incidentally, this is what makes me good at my job.

    Nissan NISMO GT-R will allegedly crack a sub 2 second 0-60 when it's released.

    Otherwise to even approach 2 seconds you're in hypercar (Porsche 918, Veyron, Caparo T1, McLaren P1, etc.) territory

    Naturally my recommendation would be: http://uk.caterhamcars.com/cars/seven-620-r

    Alternatively most of the rallycross preparation outfits will build something that will crack that kind of time. Olsbergs does Ken Block's Fords, for example: http://www.omse.se/

    Those are all sub 3 second cars. Sub 2 is really only drag racers and F1 cars

    That's why I said "to even approach 2 seconds".

    Rallycross cars will also pull 2 second 0-60s, and be marginally more practical than a drag car or a single seater. Kenneth Hansen's Citroen Xsara T16 famously did 0-100-0 in a hair under 11 seconds. On gravel.

    Everything is more practical then a car set up for drag racing.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFO_VsKFjxE

    This guy lives a few miles up the road, his build thread is on pistonheads.

    There is some contention over the title of "fastest road legal drag car" given that RV3 runs on different fuel and tyres for road use, and there's a team in the US claiming the same title because the state they happen to be in permits grooved drag tyres (which are not road legal in the UK) for road use, so technically they can drive the car to the strip in full race trim, which can't be done in RV3.

    Everyone should always apologize for liking things too much, because it is shameful and unsophisticated

    Only by shellacking yourself with disaffection and remaining distant and uncommitted can you earn the respect of the only people whose regard is worthwhile, i.e. the disaffected, distant and uncommitted

    also careful curation of the things you advocate - only the most defensibly tasteful precious things should you show to the world.

    your animes will always remain your secret shame

    (I love suicide squad)

    I love them too, but Deadshot isn't really a character you empathize with or want to model yourself after. Whereas I suspect there is a certain amount of people who perhaps don't see the Imperial Stormtroopers that villainous.
