All you had to do is look at this game and the super old Batman games side by side to know something went horribly wrong.

Like comparing Battlefield 2042 and Battlefield 4. The game making skill is just no longer there and it's a fundamentally different studio.

Yes, they're actually referred to as the Three Shadows in this version of the game (which is actually a closer translation to the Japanese version, which refers to them as the Shadow Trio)

In this version Beldam outright refuses to refer to themselves as a group in any way that implies femininity -- purely to try to stick it to Vivian, who she doesn't regard as a sister and whose trans identity she does not support.

I just got to that part in the game, and to me, I read it as her wanting to avoid any FAMILY ties, because that makes them sound less mysterious and sinister. She even says something like that. She wants to sound scary and not like a family. To me it wasn't to avoid any kind of femininity.

I always saw them as cheek color with their eyes hidden by hair, but then one day it looked like their actual eyes and now I can't unsee it.

Thousand Year Door btw.

Should I buy it? I did enjoy the original and it's been forever since I played. Guess I'm just wondering if it holds up.

Again? They just did it like... Oh... Oh no. I'm old. So old.

But Gina Carano looked good

That show was what made me fall in love with her.

Before the bad times.

Can someone post side by side comparisons?

Not at all. She's a super aggressive sex fiend, there are dozens of us into that.

That pic isn't Amazon's fault, it's whoever created and uploaded the file to sell on Amazon.

Dynasty Warriors needs a Monster Hinter World level come back to win me back

Right now now?

I'm a little stressed I may not be able to finish this next buffet plate and afraid they may charge me extra.

Third freak storm here in a couple months it seems like.

Looked like the apocalypse outside my window in the middle of the afternoon.

i am! the rumors of my exile were greatly exaggerated.

though i'm ashamed to admit i haven't been doing any reading lately. i've just been too busy. between trying to get my cheesecake business off the ground, doing some yardwork and pet sitting for a neighbor, and unfortunately dealing with some stressful family issues, i just haven't had the time or mental focus to read or to be very productive in general lately. i am done with the stuff for the neighbor though and the family issues might be getting a little better, so hopefully i'll be able to focus on the things i want to do again.

how are things with you? what are you reading right now?

Right now I'm still working on reading all the SPFBO finalists. :) I'm on book 8 out of 10.

"a constitutional amendment that would require statewide elected leaders to win the popular vote in a majority of Texas counties."

This is absolutely horrifying.

Oh hey Duran is alive. :)

I did the mini one for today and don't get how they got the murderer.

I followed along with all the given clues and crossed off the correct things to cross off, but was left with two possibilities. The solution never provided an explanation, it just says "he checked the horoscope and concluded so and so did it"

This is insanity imo.

We live in an insane world. THIS is what makes cop bosses angry.

pipe videos on Youtube, and now my Youtube recommended section, which I enjoy perusing whilst drunk, is completely filled with anti-trans videos and also videos of various conservative famous people "owning" liberals on college campuses.

I don't like the reality that we live in now. I want to get off the ride.

What youtube searches should I make so it goes back to the fun things that I used to randomly browse while drunk?

I can't log in to an account on old.reddit on my phone.

They changed the way you log in, you have to go to a different screen now. On PC, I can go into options, and click opt back into the old design. But on mobile that option is not there, and viewing in desktop mode doesn't help get it back.

Also, manually typing in old.reddit.com auto logs you out, and when you log back in you're in new reddit again.

As of now I see no way to browse old.reddit.com while logged in on a phone. Anyone else having this issue?

I now pay 300 a month for a 2020 civic.

Props to the fandom approved topic TC.

We should all talk about video games more.

@TheOnionKnight

Look at this shit

Witcher 3 moves faster imo. Sometimes with BG3, it feels like you're just in the same little area for a super long time.

Does it run at 60 fps on ps5?

Surely, not having to pay as many workers will lower prices.

Surely

It's so crazy how these things increase the profits of companies due to lower costs, but then we can never go backward, because the business then claims that it would bankrupt them.

Like, in the 50s, companies paid just fine. People could live off those wages. And the companies survived. So why can't we go back to those wages? Because it'll "bankrupt companies". Even though it didn't back in the day.

I see the same thing here. These fast food places were doing just fine with human workers. None of them were going out of business. But now I bet in the future the AI will totally take over, and they can't go back to human workers because they'll claim they can't afford to. But somehow in the past they could.

Sometimes I like to ask the person what comes on a sandwich or something like that. Will the AI be able to handle that kind of interaction?

I hate it.

CVS is all jacked up now days.
I have no idea what happened to that company.
And I don't even use the Pharmacy aspect.
Just for starters the turn over in the counter help says volumes.

Last time I went there was literally zero cashiers or any human being at all at the front of the store. It was only self checkout.

Yep! Me too. I had to go to Walgreens.

United Healthcare also, a big one. Blows my mind.

Also my dentist used to take them, but then this year they were like, oh your insurance won't work here anymore. And i was like you don't take United? And they were like, oh no, we do take United, but your specific plan was downgraded this year so it's not included.

:)

I hate everything.

That's my fetish

I actually like it when they have female names but then the nick name is masculine. Like Jack for Jacqueline or Sam for Samantha, etc.

I like the idea but the game looks like it was produced by Street Sets.

This. I love the sentiment of this game, but the art style is hideous. I'm not a graphics snob, but this look is just so ugly to me.

I am god damn wired and not in a good way. Ugh i hate it

Just wanted to poke back in and says it's fucking insane I'm even asking this question.

I have a question.

What if you objectify yourself?

What if someone posts a pic of themselves in underwear and says "don't I look cute?"

Will they be modded?

i used to have a Gandalf pipe. then one time i put it in my pants pocket, forgot about it, and went to sit down and broke the stem. RIP.

:(

To be honest my pipe is a briar pipe, not a gandalf pipe.

I had a gandalf style pipe once

Nice.

I checked and double checked the topic title, and still....

Feel like mother fucking Gandalf.

I bought a little dedicated shelf/bookcase kinda thing for mine but yeah with a cat that's gotta be hard.

I have the skeletons battling the pirates on the ship. I used some other skeletons from other sets too to make it more epic. The pirates are running around with torches and stuff and the young guy is freaked out and blasting away with two pistols. It's great.

Sounds like she's into you imo

Absolutely insane imo.

Revelation34 posted...

That one was like $80 right?

I think it was actually a little more expensive than the pirate ship, which is bullshit because there are less pieces.

Edit: Just checked, they were both 120 at release.

What an absolute joke of a website.

Ah, I got it, Legacy of the Wizard:

Wizards & Warriors (NES, developed by Rare)

https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/d/d91b0296.jpg

The box art shows your character as a light "golden" armored fighter, but in the game you play as a fully armored knight. IIRC, his helmet face-shield always stays closed.

Thanks for the pic. Deadly Towers in game form is quite lame, with a big blue blob of a character.

The name Wizards and Warriors reminds me of another game with a name similar to that but I forget. I believe you played as an entire family of wizard-warriors, the parents and two kids? And you explored a whole big Metroid style world switching between them. Any idea what that was?

Wait, you're telling me this topic was actually moderated?

WHAT THE FUCK

This is like if you read an Onion article, but then it turned out it was a real article all along.

I was told this was a family website (as it is a fandom site) yet I come here and see this. I am appalled.
