DuneMan 01/12/23 9:27:22 PM #37 | Glob posted... I dont think that the books or the films are awful. The films are okay and the books are fairly good (apart from the first one. Ill never know why the series initially took off) but its definitely achieved far more than it ever deserved to.The first movie though did a great job at bringing the setting to life. From what I remember the first book was really short. So, in that sense, yeah, it sort of took off for whatever reason. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao |

If a person's love of Harry Potter outpaces their desire to see dignity and peace for trans peopleAnd it's exactly this sort of false dilemma reaction that is garnering so much attention on the game.

DuneMan 01/09/23 9:44:00 AM #157 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] You also have to keep in mind that she is one person, just one. Even if you limit the comparison to all the people who worked on Hogwarts Legacy she'd be one amongst hundreds. Then you have the film franchise, which also had hundreds working on it. Is there a point where her taint as an individual is effectively diluted? There's also the limit to time and energy in any person's life. Do you think merely boycotting a game is an effective use of that time? It's already clear that Harry Potter as a franchise is so large and of such permanence that it will definitely outlast Rowling. Time and society will move on without Rowling. There isn't really a need, IMO, to deny an interest in Hogwarts Legacy simply because she exists and gets a few cents from every game sold. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao |
Topic | BattleBots returns to TV tonight for season 7 *discussion and spoilers* |
DuneMan 01/08/23 5:47:38 PM #48 | Yeah, it was a good episode to start the season. Since a lot of bots are in top form this time around the technical aspect of being able to land the first serious hit will likely make a big difference in the fights. Quite a few fights were decided by one good strike. Other than spinners I can see hammer-saws racking up a few wins. I don't like hammers, and I don't like saws, but combine the two for a focused hit and it does manage to thrash opponents. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao |

DuneMan 01/08/23 10:01:21 AM #41 | It is possible to straight up die from hitting a hard floor like that, even as the bowling ball itself can potentially kill someone when striking toward the back of the head. If the dude survives that without permanent injury he should count that as a second chance at life and ditch all the rest of the human trash in that video.

For all the liberals who criticize the military industrial complex I am shocked there is so much criticism when a few Republicans actually want to oversee the spending on the military industrial complex.Because Republicans will happily spend trillions of dollars when they're in control, but then SUDDENLY care about military spending when Democrats are in control. That's the thing about Republicans. They don't really care WHAT someone is doing, just WHO is doing it. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao |

I can think of a few times when the opposing team was really depending on a count out and wasting precious seconds when it didn't come.Yeah, agreed. It always felt like there was a bit of a referee tilt one way or another based on the team in question, and the part of the season. On the flipside, weapon durability will be more important than ever, since a bot that has one functional wheel will require more damage to avoid a judges' decision.

From Software seemed to know that 5-1 was a difficult stage though, so the boss is one of the easiest in the game. 2-2 can be annoying, as you repeatedly dash past the miners and platform down the large pit. 1-4 can be helped a bit if you kill the Blue Dragon. It is possible to get an NPC to help you do that. He'll pull aggro while you stand under the dragon's head and fire projectiles up at it. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao |

DuneMan 12/31/22 9:51:45 AM #9 | You have to remember that a portion of CE actively looks for things to be offended by, like they were 'professionally trained' by Twitter. So everything you say will be lost after the topic title reads 'woman cop'. It even overrides the usual narrative about how the police were probably jittery because that man had darker skin than them: as an institution police training suggests that males with darker skin are deadly criminals. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao |

DuneMan 12/30/22 6:23:13 AM #4 | If you're friendly with the Brotherhood you get early access to Vertibirds. As for who to pick at the end of the game, if you go with the Minutemen it's possible to keep all factions aside from the Institute around. But, in general, Bethesda usually leaves any 'choice and consequence' gameplay to their DLC. Far Harbor had a fair amount of that. If you want you can basically make that place uninhabitable, or choose to inform the Brotherhood about the Synths there and have them raid the place, etc. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao |

DuneMan 12/25/22 12:39:02 PM #7 | Yeah, you can be assured that Nexus modders worked diligently to create a 'downpatch' to permanently suspend Skyrim at a certain patch level for their needs.

But to be honest, most of the time the complaints about 'breaking mods' is just because the 'unofficial patch' mod, which worms its way into other mods as a base, just needs to update like 2 lines of code to match the latest version number of Skyrim. --- "I'd rather betray the world than let the world betray me." -Cao Cao |
