I finally finished the third game after all these years. New playthrough of the legendary edition. Femme Shep, but not the new default skin. Something about the face shape looks weird to me.
Also, I’d avoided spoilers all these years. The ending was as bad as everyone said. I’m late to the party , I know.
When I play RPGs, I don’t make myself. I don’t see the character as an extension of myself. I’d much rather watch a woman do cool stuff than some dude. So I usually make women characters. Maybe some part of my brain sees some cool dude doing cool stuff and goes “great. Now I’m competing with him” and is stressed.
One of my friends would always try to make himself in games. Skinny white guy with short hair and minimal facial hair. He saw himself in the game and liked it. I don’t really want to see myself get blown up or stabbed or eaten by a demon, but to each their own
In multiplayer games where other people might see it as an extension of real me, I more often play male characters. In tabletop, I’ve never played a woman PC. None of the reasons I do so in a video game really apply. (I’ve played plenty of woman NPCs, but that’s different)
I was showing my girlfriend the game a little and she said that the default male Shepard looked like an asshole. Shaved head no facial hair looks like a skinhead, I guess.
Seems reasonable, but Republicans would have spent decades capturing that system and we’d end up in a similarly bad position. The problem is conservatives have shit ideas and want them to be law. Unless we fix that, any system will be corrupted.
Is this the one with the weird multiplayer stuff where you fight other people’s orcs, and sometimes they’re suspiciously like level 100 and super annoying to kill? And it has stupid sexy shelob?
I never finished it because of those things, but otherwise the core gameplay was alright.
I don’t see how taking it out on the staff is going to make anything better.
If someone writes a complicated work of fiction, is it gate keeping to not also include an explainer in simple prose?
Someone might but Finnigan’s wake and be completely baffled by it. Is that an accessibility problem? Is the author in the wrong?
Why or why not?
Note this is distinct from publishing it in braille or audiobook format
Difficulty is not the same as accessibility.
Remapping the inputs so they can be done with one hand is not the same as “you get twice as much health and mana”.
Do you have a source for this? My understanding was only credit card balances mattered.
I am legitimately confused about how none of the cops involved in that have not been vigilante’d.
I also think about this a lot. There’s like a mass shooting every day but it’s never cops, politicians, billionaires.
Seems fine.
I wonder if we can also teach people delayed gratification. People’s inability to do that is I think a root of a lot of problems.
I’m not aware of any harms from using a no-fee credit card that you pay off in full each month. You get 1% - 5% back, and it’s easier to deal with fraudulent charges.
I bet a chunk of those republicans are mad that the court is “too liberal”
Republicans are the worst
That grand jury should have refused to indict.
Gw2 is the only MMO I’ve played where other people are only a positive. They can’t steal your loot. They can’t mess up your quests. It’s a good game. No gear treadmill, too.
Everyone dies to the capra demon. Everyone has options within the game to adjust difficulty. Change gear or tactics. Summon help. Level up. Adding an out of game difficulty slider on top seems unnecessary.
People that are like “I want it to be easier without using any of the tools” are essentially saying “I want it to be easier but I don’t want to turn down the difficulty”
Additionally, the difficulty and the struggle creates a sense of community. People like feeling like they belong to a group.
Also, difficulty is poorly defined. Sometimes people get mad about like being ambushed by monsters that were in plain sight but they didn’t notice. Is that too hard?
Anyone blocking the bike lane should forfeit the protection of law. I should be allowed to take their mirror off as I ride by.
People are like “oh well it was just for a minute I needed to run in” like that makes a difference to someone who gets hit by a car and dies because they had to ride into traffic.
In crawl stone soup I had a win with every species and every background. They added more and I haven’t kept up, but it was a pretty big deal.
It’s a good rogue like. Recommend checking it out if you like the genre.
That’s what I meant. In the story they’re super dangerous walking nuclear bombs. In the first game, it kind of lives up to it in the game play. You have a massive fireball (with knockdown!), blood magic shuts down the whole field, and more.
But by the third game, mages are more of a “control” class. If you want to actually do damage and kill monsters, you want to play a rogue. It’s extremely disappointing.
I wanted it to be more like dragon’s dogma where you summon meteors and tornadoes. Instead it’s like some ice cubes and a campfire.
I also don’t have any social media unless you count this account. I had a similar thought years ago that it was just going to make me unhappy.
People at work the other day were talking about how they stress about which photos to post. I’m like why. That’s such a self inflicted wound.
I used to have a FB account because people used it for events, but I never posted, and I used adblock to hide the main feed.
Now when I do parties and stuff, I just send out Google calendar invites. (I should de-Google but that’s a long road I haven’t started down)
