Lurker > DuneMan

Eh, it starts when an unattractive person gives up on honing social skills. That then leads to anger, which leads to hate.

As long as they ditch the arbitrary requirements to get +5 per level over +1 then it should be fine. Having to juggle things like how many arrows you fire in a week to get high stats was stupid.

They're still programming for Sex 2: The Robolution.

I had a subscription to PSM for a few years, starting with the third month/issue. They had great guides to jrpgs at the time, and the tone and content of the magazines wasn't bad either.

It's basically his journey from playing Sim City, to Age of Empires, and eventually Age of Mythology. That being said, once you look past the character development given for the side characters, the story is ultimately the same generic power fantasy found in most isekai stories.

I suppose the web novel has time to go into goofy side adventure stuff, such as Rimuru building a dungeon and controlling bosses inside it along with Milim and Veldora, 'terrorizing' adventurers within just for the lulz.

Water from the tap is safe to drink. The exception might be if you're in a poor, largely minority community east of the Mississippi River. In those cases you want to check locally for cases of industrial water contamination or leaden pipes.

The quickest way is to work for an arrogant and entitled boss in a non-union job.

If the job involves production in some way, an accident in the workplace that spoils the product can have you fired on the spot. If the boss asks you to do some business travel planning, make a mistake on the hotel or car rental booking and you might be fired on the spot. If you need to travel from one site to another, get lost while driving and end up several hours late...

If you aren't looking to be fired on the spot then what you want is to be selected for a 'lay off'. Getting fired looks bad to prospective future employers. Being laid off though could just be the result of downsizing. The quickest way to get laid off is to just work slower than everyone else. People who are good in conversations can cover for that, allowing them to get by while doing less work. If you don't build up that workplace network though you'll be susceptible to lay offs.

It's a mashup of that and a simplified version of the tabletop rules.

It doesn't quite adhere to that set of rules as strictly as Solasta does the rules for D&D(though Solasta is a great interpretation of 5th edition in that regard) but it's close enough that you can get a good feeling for the tabletop from playing Battletech.

There's also the element of mech design to consider. Which models do you use, how do you equip them, and the big consideration of heat sinks and heat generation, etc...

That's a recipe for nearby walls to stink of urine... IIRC Germany was the country that started putting hydrophobic paint on the walls of bars and whatnot just because people kept hosing them down with processed beer...

We need to have this conversation again...

To be quite frank, the US has been a complete dumpster fire on this topic since Sandy Hook, when a sizeable portion of the public thought a graveyard of children was a fitting monument to 'freedom'.

I've seen some people praise Tunic though, despite it being Zelda with a fox.

Could be a lab virus that got out on accident. You'd never get the Chinese government to admit to that though. Just look at how they treated the WHO when it came to discussion about the potential origins of the virus.

As others said, good writing. But there's a dilemma in the recommendations too as people mention that the company kicked out of the creative minds to the game so it'll never get a proper sequel. You'll see some folks going so far as to openly advocate for pirating the game.

That reminds me of a video clip I saw where some pranksters knew an acquaintance of theirs used porn moans for a ring tone so they dialed his phone while he was in a quiet library, blasting the porn moan ring tone throughout the building for everyone to hear....

One time my wife caught me deeding after I turned her down for sex. I was tired and just wanted my nut.

I slept on the couch that night.

Is she not aware of "Nature's Sleep Aid For Men"? :P

How come no one is complaining about how rare it is for a woman to propose to a man?

Usually the Twitter crowd still attacks women who propose. They see it was a woman somehow 'failing' by making the move herself.

They're hoping to speed through a yellow light, and that the next light won't be red and stop them anyway. They're also the source of most of the traffic on freeways during commute times. Basically they screw over the next 100 cars in order to shave 2 seconds off their commute.

They might be, for you. I mean, I think sports games are tired crap, but realize others enjoy them and play them regularly. *shrug*

There was the one that was invisible to the demon, Pablo was it? He could rush off and try to solo either the dagger or the page from the Necronomicon while the rest of the party did the other.

The fact that so many people somehow enjoy the Fallout games honestly confuses me more than anything I encountered in undergrad.

Gameplay loop. It might not please the 'choice and consequence' crowd that favors Fallout 1 and 2, but there's a strong gameplay loop in 4 where you scout a location, scav it clean, and enjoy your loot/crafting materials, before heading further into the horizon for the next place.

Don't scoff, the future of sex robots will be the thing to save the planet from the scourge of human overpopulation.

Well, at this rate it'll be 100% of employees that he'll want to cut access for, since he seems to be doing everything in his power to completely piss them off.

Given that the average workplace operates like a high school clique it can be a good idea to have generic, ultimately throwaway 'work friends'. It'll keep you out of most of the drama.

Yeah, it was relatively recent, IIRC. I also for some reason can't find the site announcements section. I figured there would be a message about it, but eh...

I'll spend $3-4 on a frozen pizza then customize that a bit. For example, a Rising Crust Supreme pizza from Safeway's Signature Select line. That'll give you a good amount of pepperoni, sausage, onions, peppers, and olives for under $4.

That's way more cost effective than trying to make it from base ingredients. Super markets like to upcharge every last ingredient for that process.

For one fight, maybe two. If you're burning your third level slot right away and spamming Shield to boost your AC you're going to spend half the day being as effective as a level one character.

DMs will usually find ways to coax spell usage out of the spell casters. E.g. you might encounter a situation where Fly would incredibly useful, so you'd actually burden the party for a day if you're saving it just for Fireball.

There are also means to boost melee characters if that is desired for high power level play. E.g. hand out a Flametongue weapon. Now they're adding Fire damage dice to their attacks. Usually DMs should be hesitant about exceeding power bands, but if the campaign is supposed to be high impact, high fantasy, it might fit.

Yeah, this includes remasters of games too, but only some of them.

For example, Borderlands includes the newer edition with HD textures, customization options, new loot and chest locations, etc. The same holds for Skyrim, both the original and Special Edition with its 64-bit engine upgrade and newer content.

But Mass Effect's Legendary Edition is NOT included for some reason.

Yeah, it's going to be 720 days of attempting to impeach Biden. It's basically Hillary's E-mails 2.0.

Melee, Fighters especially, simply focus on single target damage. If you need to pop a boss like a balloon, a Fighter with Action Surge and 4-6 attacks(maybe more in some circumstances) is the way to do it. Of course a bit of teamwork to give the melee character Advantage on each attack makes things all the better.

Without going into too much of a tangent, you can do other things with melee classes through Feats and the like. E.g. if you have Polearm Master one of the abilities is to use your Reaction to cut down approaching enemies. Since you have a 10' threat range with a polearm you can screen incoming enemies along a 20' line. This can help cover for those squishy casters.

On One D&D, I'm sure people are telling them that some of the nerfs in playtesting are too harsh. Like, IIRC Evasion for Rogues got bumped up to being s high level feature. Rogues were already bad enough in combat that they don't need nerfs. I.e. if they aren't dealing sneak attack damage then they're a liability. At least in the current rules you can eke out extra bits of damage on other people's turns, whether through Commander's Strike, an enemy fleeing an ally, or some other feature.

If you go by the PHB, Half-Elf has that sweet customizability since you get to choose which stat gets a bonus. If Feats are allowed along with the Variant Human then that wins out due to strong feats available: GWM, Sharpshooter, Polearm Master, etc. (Incoming nerfs are suggested from playtest material, but DMs can homebrew nerfs like making the damage boost tied to Proficiency Bonus instead of a flat +10.)

One potential upside to the One D&D testing is that they seem interested in the idea of all Feats providing +1 to a stat, so you don't have to completely sacrifice an ASI for a Feat. Personally though I'd rather Feats just be part of progression alongside ASI's.

One Arm is fun. Give him the biggest shotgun you can find and fire through entire groups.

Engineer is fun in doses, but it probably helps that I like pet classes in games like the Borderlands series. Find some medical turrets as you go and he can become almost unkillable thanks to the rapid healing.

Knight is an interesting idea, and ends up being a relatively strong class despite the melee limitation.

Well, the DLC is bad, but the core game should be fun enough... As others said, there isn't much end game other than an arena mode(which most of the DLC ties into). If you like Borderlands and D&D references and the like it should be fun.

well it wouldnt really be eternal for vampires because youd run out of human blood to feed on eventually

Depends on the type of vampire, as some can feed from animals. Even World of Darkness vampires can feed on rats; well, depending on their clan, a Ventrue trying to do that would have a really bad time...

But I wouldn't worry too much. Humans keep multiplying, we've officially breached 8 billion now, and even if civilization collapses there should be pockets of surviving humans to hunt/feed from.

Choose the vampire ruleset? Easy choice: do it.

I never understood the whole 'eternal life is too lonely to endure' bit. That just means the people you know pass on like a family pet would as a human.

Starting to get fatigued with the amount of time it takes to complete a stage

30 minutes can feel like a real slog sometimes

You could always take a break with a few rounds of Brotato. The stages there are about a minute each, and there are 20-30 characters to mess with for different styles of play.

Well, as a character Freddy actually has personality...

Jason is just Micheal Myers-light,just that he teleports around instead of walking with impossibly large strides. :P

I forgot I can't craft bolts until I do some of the quests

You can occasionally find them on the Khajiit Caravans, thanks to the Rare Curios integration. Well, certain material variants anyway, like Orcish or Silver.

Is Fallout Shelter decent?

Yeah.

Just be wary of expanding your population too quickly. More people brings in advanced attacks. Early on it's a good idea to send out waves to scavenge weapons and outfits.

'Falling from boat' is the rich person's version of someone falling out a window in Russia.

He has an annoying habit of pushing the player. He'll easily knock you off cliffs or platforms whenever he's around. The barking gets old fast as well.

Personally I'd rather mess with the dwarven automatons found on Solstheim. They occupy the pet slot. They're rewards for clearing rooms in Kagrumez, IIRC. The one where place the resonance stones in various arrangements and fight through arena waves.

They have literally no reason to care about that though

The only weird part is the employees not having the order park. They're literally being timed and are supposed to park large orders to keep the flow going.
