We now return to our regularly scheduled PA Forums. Please let me (Hahnsoo1) know if something isn't working. The Holiday Forum will remain up until January 10, 2025.

"YEAH WELL GORD DOWNIE AND LEMMY WERE LITERALLY DYING AND..."
yes, yes, that's very nice, good for them
other musicians should not be held up to that standard, that standard is actually really self-destructive and harmful
it is very much like the "play through the pain" culture in pro sports and it's fucked up and awful, we shouldn't be expecting it of people it's awful
if a person who is literally dying decides to go out on their own terms, that's their call and we can respect that, while also showing empathy to someone who very obviously has serious problems that likely have gone improperly treated for years precisely because they are rich and famous
I went out this evening and got some christmas lights but that's about it, nothing too grotesque.
I did receive a case of wine that got shipped to me this morning which seems fairly grotesque.

guise I here halflife3 is out in december
I have a fairly decent game memory. I needed to keep a game journal for the MUD because memorizing text locations was horrible, so I used grid paper to make my own maps and keep notes on which items were where.
I know it's pretty close to a pen-and-paper RPG with modern accoutrements. I have a notebook and pen right here so I'll see how it goes.
Sunless Sea I could definitely see keeping notes on. That game is absolutely dense with prose and details.
Actual lu it's march 2017, though.

I mean, I've been shitting on him for years because I think he's overrated as hell, but I don't feel like giving him crap during this time in his life is helpful.
I just kind of went through a breakdown of sorts myself. It's not fun not having control of the shit you do.
...Even if the reason I didn't spend money today was because I spent it last week... that's still a win, right?

right
like it's possible for a person to be kind of an asshat in general
but also deserving of empathy because they're very obviously mentally ill and not doing well
one does not negate the other and too many people act like it does
I just wanted to try a few things
I am about to chop the gordian knot in half, yes
I mean I don't have a PS4 or a tv to play it on yet
But I got it in anticipation
@bloodyroarxx
I think too many people conflate assholishness for malevolence.
Kanye isn't a societal ill, nor is he a truly bad person (Take Steve Bannon, for instance). The human tradition of dogpiling on successful people when they slip is still alive and well.
I have a feeling it's not going to go away until we either evolve or die out.
It's got a quest log, I haven't had to write anything down.
Don't be afraid to sneak and steal everything that's not nailed down
And you can have one person talk to someone to turn them around, then switch to another character and use them to steal everything.
Also the first NPCs you can get are a melee person and a water/lightning wizard, so plan character builds appropriately.
Divinity is great, though we haven't gotten past act 1 yet in my GF and I's co-op playthrough.
i think it's actually copying an archived version of System32 over the live version
I wonder if this will work
one of those games i bought my console for
prob should get at some point
the writing in Divinity Original Sin killed it for my wife and I
we enjoyed the combat and the co-op stuff and the dialogue, all of that was super awesome
the game's plot was awful though so we tapped out and didn't finish it
Hour and a half to go. Send reinforcements.
what is
"snow"
precious
It's SO good in co-op. I love the rock-paper-scissors conflict resolution mechanic for conversations.
should have known a place called Papa Gyros that doesn't have kebabs couldn't give me what I need.
After 11 Final Fantasy games with horrible writing (and one with good writing), I think I'm immune.
Also, Call of Honorduty.
And... well, D3.
Hell, one of my favorite games for writing lately was Doom, since it didn't fiddle about with anything other than fuckshitup, and in the end the result was a tight (if nearly non-existant) story.
Unless you're mobile it's that white stuff at the bottom of your screen.
Oh probably.
Does ICO hold up to a playthrough these days?
Here's hoping though! Giant bird ferret monster thing.
I think it was the abrupt turn I didn't care for
I was fine with the original premise it set up
and then out of nowhere it just fired a bunch of other shit at me and I was like "what, no, why"
so why do i care again
Well you live on the world
It's real bad in the military too. Anything that dissuades or could dissuade someone from seeking mental help bugs me big time.
Please, if there's anything extended development sessions have proven time and time again, it's that it will be disjointed and mediocre with a killer trailer and the polarized reviews will eventually even out the score on Metacritic to what it should've been in the first place.
It can be bad, depending on the branch and (even moreso) depending on the type of unit you're in.
My 1SG always repeated the mantra "The pain doesn't go away when you take the uniform off for the last time, both here and here" (*pointing to body and head*) and would actively encourage people to seek help, even if they were marginal.
He told us he had a young soldier under his leadership when he was a SGT who he pushed because that was the culture, but the soldier went to Iraq and killed himself when he came home. I guess that shit dug in deep with him.
More like, as a player of the game, why do I care about this narrative you're trying to tell me, game. You can just say "you're a special snowflake!" and just be done with it.
Especially when you try to initiate a romance dialogue with your wife and she fuckin' shuts you down hard because your characters have been having constant condescending arguments up to that point why on Earth would should be okay with that.
You know, those things never really bugged me. I've always been someone who enjoyed character interaction more.
Maybe this explains my unhealthy love of the MCU.
