    my wife has opened negotiations about this day's activity with: go to the jeweler, see about getting her ring reset

    I need to come up with a counterproposal stat

    I wish I could contact your wife and tell her to hold moving to Chicago over your head so that she could get whatever she wanted.

    Counterpropose giving her four hundred bucks to take some classes and reset it herself!

    if a woman knows how to manipulate her own jewelry why the fuck does she need a man

    worst $400 ever.

    I know how to do basic jewelry stuff.

    I am not really attracted to men.

    Your hypothesis is bulletproof.

    And a hypothesis is like an idea that isn't proved yet.

    Like there are individual mechanics from each that are cool and that, were I to design a game, I might incorporate (and track down Elder Scroll mods to implement them sometimes) but you can get that from about ten minutes of gameplay.

    I totally get this. I'm constantly yelling at the screen, "(Game X), why can't you be more like (Game Y)? We'd be having a lot more fun right now!"

    It's annoying when the stuff I like is disliked by most other people I meet with.

    Everyone I know hates the idea of stats leveling up based on using them as in FF II. I love it! I mean it leads to exploits where you punch yourself for hours to raise defense and HP, but other than that (which is fixable) I think it's a great system! People seem to disagree though.

    my dad cannot pick up on cues that things he finds interesting may not be interesting to others

    every time I visit or talk to him, he tells me about his latest golf clubs or playing with so and so or whatever

    he and I have played golf together like once, when I was 14

    he knows I don't care about it in the slightest

    I think Besthesda overdid it on Skyrim, where basically you spend all your time building iron daggers and . . . BAM! You're a master smith.


    I do like the notion of you getting better at things the more you do them, but there's probably a better way to get that done.

    See it's weird because I hate grinding.

    But part of that is hating the idea that if I go stab a million snakes I'll be able to avoid being one-shotted by a boss. It feels a lot less grindy when it's both really hard to level up everything and you're training specific skills.

    I do like the notion of you getting better at things the more you do them, but there's probably a better way to get that done.

    They did kind of fix that by making the skill improvement when making something dependent on the cost of the item so making iron daggers was a shitty way of leveling up the skill after a certain point. It probably wouldn't be hard to make a mod that makes certain items stop improving the skill after a certain skill level.

    Holy Jesus those chucklefucks have been getting on my nerves. And they disguise it as if they are concerned as readers about the site's direction. RPS has been socially aware and not a cesspit for a long time!

    It makes me silently furious, they all go "wha wha, why must you push your leftist politics on us, this site used to be about games and you have gone all preachy in the last few months"

    When in reality land RPS has been like this for at least the 3 or 4 years that I have been reading it. And the maximum extent of their moral outrage is usually "Uh, isn't this a bit sexist/racist/whatever? Lets talk to some people involved."

    If anything they have done less of it since Gillen left which is a bit unfortunate. I thought their Far Cry 3 story was fantastic.

    I do like the notion of you getting better at things the more you do them, but there's probably a better way to get that done.

    Well in Skyrim there were levels that maxed out and stuff which kind of messes with it. A more organic system that's less constrained artificially would do better, I think.

    Final Fantasy II is basically the most concrete example I can think of, where casting spells a lot raised your MP and magic attack and even leveled up that specific spell for you. So fire III wasn't like the third fire spell, it was fire cast by someone who had been practicing enough to be adept. And every few levels the animation changed which was neat.

    Leveling is the mechanism that makes the player feel like they've earned something and are rewarded for their efforts by awesome gear.

    Yes. I don't feel like they go crazy. They just want to talk about it! So annoying. Maybe the site is just more popular than it's ever been so it's collected readers who aren't interested in its mission statement.
