Lurker > DuneMan

Not in my school. Though I know there was a student who had a crazy crush on the animation teacher and would have done anything. Also, the wrestling coach taught some social studies classes and half the girls in the class talked about him like he was a prized piece of fuckmeat...

An 'always online' requirement is an automatic deal breaker for me.

"what if we made gundam a fighting game?"

The one I played wasn't Gundam, but was certainly fun back in the arcade in the 90's. It might have even been a series. I remember one bot was sort of an octopus; might have even been a midboss in one of the games. I think they let you customize your 'bit' as well: little orbital drone.

Then you had the arena fighters like Virtual On, with the twin stick controls. I remember using the bot with tonfas a lot in that.

It's a shame bullying isn't taken as seriously a offense as it should be.

And it's straight up bizarre and almost random what schools do and don't take seriously at times.

Less random is that schools will treat the bullied person as a dangerous individual to be expelled should they ever have enough and snap back at their bullies. They'll view the bullying in the same vein as "It's just a joke, bro!" but if the bullied person ever cracks the bullies in the mouth, for example, it's suspension.

Overall it shows a general lack of empathy for those around someone being bullied. They might secretly be glad it isn't them being targeted, possibly even think it's better for someone else to be targeted, or fear that standing up for the person puts a target on their back.

How often does upper management contribute to collections for issues that "lesser workers" go through?

There was that one time Walmart tried to do a canned food drive for their own employees. But then the public quickly pointed out that they should just pay their employees a living wage. Walmart wasn't too happy to hear that.

If you really want to throw them for a loop, just bust out a full bottle of barbeque sauce right there in the joint and use it. The sauce packet probably costs about as much as a refill from the soda machine. So places that charge for 'extra sauce' are ran by corporate blowhards and that policy deserves zero respect.

Give him a card stuffed with Monopoly money and tell him he'll feel like a million bucks soon enough.

Hell, despite fixing one or two bugs for SE Bethesda never did add Silver weapons to the proper tempering lists. If you could temper them Silver weapons would be fun and effective, given their low weight and bonus 20 points of damage to specific enemies.

Well the College of Winterhold suffered from not only a lame main story but having most of its content left on the cutting room floor. So you're left with a half dozen people and the 'mysterious' railroading surrounding its questline.

I see the Blades didn't even get a ranking. That's fine anyway since they're the worst faction. The only thing Delphine deserves is to be punted off the side of High Hrothgar after Season Undending through a well-timed Unrelenting Force shout.

I mean, all you really need is to set aside $10 million to put into the various accounts eschewed by financial planners and you have a nice perpetual payout mechanism that matches or beats the median wage worker. The rest of the billion dollars is just "Lol, fuck everyone" money.

Neat, does Red Harvest have soup?

Not at this time. Oishii brands offers miso soup, alongside various types of noodles. High end restaurants will have bisque or gazpacho, and the player can craft certain stews with Gastronomy, but the future lacks Space Progresso...

You need to play 30 hours. Then youll get it. But only after you complete 50 hours past that. Then it will start to click.

It's more about letting go of the stuff that bores you. People mention "shooting rocks", but you don't have to do any mining at all. In fact, it is inefficient to mine things yourself. You could just go to New Atlantis and clear out the stock from the UC Distribution Center and Jemison Mercantile and have enough crafting materials to last for 80% of the game. Sure, it might cost 50,000 credits, but money comes quick.

The same goes for surveying planets. Sure, you can make thousands selling survey date to Vladimir, but it isn't needed. If you don't like exploring planets to scan space fish, don't. Don't scan the weird fungal structures found, or crystal formations, or any of it. Surveying is only one way to make money, and not very efficient. So you should only really do it if you enjoy it.

Now the main quest with Constellation may not appeal to everyone. The group is very much on the "lawful good" end of things, and will complain tirelessly if you engage with the Crimson Fleet or Ryujin Industries at all. But, you know what, you're the one playing the game. If you want to be a space pirate, go be a damn space pirate and tell Sarah to stick her complaints right back up her backside.

why is it so mid?

Todd Howard explained that long before the game released, stating that it was a brand new universe with the same Bethesda game attached. You should know by now whether you like Bethesda games or not. If you do then you have to ask if you appreciate the idea of exploring space, and doing so when the 1,000 planets have 3,000 to 5,000 randomly generated human structures on them that pull from a pool that sometimes feels far too limited. Personally I lost track of the number of times I stumbled upon the 'Deserted Relay Station'. It's nice for the guaranteed Advanced tier pistol near the top, but did they really need to build 800 of them across the galaxy?

Can I get some bread?

Red Harvest has a variety of breads and other pantry essentials. You can also get baguettes. You won't get any decent recipes without ranks of Gastronomy though. Some of the fancier foods can give you 100 points of physical defense for 10 minutes(150 points if you're weird and put points into the Nutrition skill).

Yeah, when you join the Crimson Fleet pirates.

How do I get the galactic spork stuck in the hyperigneous volcano on Roktivo-7? The mine isn't deep enough to pull the spork out and the rabid swarm of mucceaus catch up to my hover-tricycle too easily.

Consult the mod author for that.

What's really dumb about the pricing is that they charge $5 to get the combo meal while also selling a $5 Biggie Bag. It's cheaper to get the 'premium' sandwich a la carte alongside a Biggie Bag. When they had the 2 for $6 on their base burger and/or chicken sandwiches you could end up with 3 sandwiches, nuggets, fries and a drink for $11. They had a charity thing going at one point too where you could get keychain that gave you a free value sized Frosty with a purchase that was valid for a year. You could almost feed a family of 3 for $11 at that point.

Here's the video that played in the background in one of the levels:

Totally a random thing, but I remember an old over-the-shoulder sci-fi shooter that prominently featured Bruce Willis. Like, it wasn't a movie game, but something original. I totally forget the name for it, but it was on one of the early generations of the Playstation. I think at one point they might have had some bad, low-res pixelated video playing in the background as you went through a level.

You also get the self aware ones saying "Don't you hate it when the ad is fake and the gameplay is so different? Try our totally 100% legit and accurate game." But of course those are fake too.

writers and actors strikes going on.

Yeah, you're going to get squat for content for the foreseeable future.

What happened to all those trashy "I can't believe it's not a sex toy" ads from Temu? Now there's an ad banner for an actual video game; even if said game is basically a game of tag.

I could get a nice cooked one in a bun with toppings for that, so Im going to go with yes.

Yeah, at a Costco you could get that with a drink for $1.50. If the Costco has food court window on the outside of the building you don't even need a Costco membership.

Then where is the BDSM gear?

Paradox wants a mass market, cookie cutter game

That style of game didn't work out so well for the arena shooter, which IIRC, has already been shut down. It's a shame because if they had instead modeled the game off of titles like inFamous it would have fit right in; the clan abilities were treated like superpowers anyway.

Plus at that point maintaining it and ammo for the minigun should be a difficult task.

One Enhanced Targeting Card(for the torso) and a string of Tin Cans is all you need to repair a T-45 suit. That's less than a pound. Kind of silly from a conceptual standpoint.

CRON posted...

I was never able to get into it due to how much it crashes. Even with mods I can't really fix that, and my PC is well above the recommended specs.

It's possible your graphics card is similar to mine, in that I used to have the game crash every hour or two until I tweaked one setting. 'Wetness'. I turned that off and went to zero crashes.

Well, I'm sure some of the tone from the first game will be gone. The first had the dreaded 'male gaze' costuming of female characters, and at least one reference to a Japanese school girl and avoiding monsters with tentacles. The things in the sewers would also not be welcomed in a game today.

On the topic of nudity in general though, it's kind of weird that IIRC the 5th edition book has a functionally topless Toreador under the guise of it being fashion, but you likely wouldn't see anything like that in a videogame.

As for gameplay, I'm getting 'same 5 guys in the same empty arena' vibes from the footage. It might turn out to be one of those 8 hours and done games.

The space combat is heavily stats based, in that your damage numbers need to be able to punch through the shields of the enemy ship. Mount a trio of oversized laser cannons on your ship and you'll be able to punch through common enemies in 2-3 hits. With the starter ship though, it struggles against hull since its default ballistic weapon is weak.

I have to slowly turn to face them at which point they turned around and passed me again.

Don't max out your throttle. There's a sweet spot indicated by some lines next to the throttle, at about 60% thrust, where you get full maneuverability while still moving at a decent clip. You can still Boost to pursue or evade as needed. If you feel like a blimp trying to joust an airplane that is the likely culprit.

It's a Bethesda game. Unlike the others that throw shiny things at you every 30 paces this game allows you to choose when and where you decide to pursue quests or stop to play with alien critters on some backwater planet. Some people take issue with being plopped down into New Atlantis, and find it sterile environs to be boring. But, you know, you can leave at any time if that isn't your thing.

buggy barely working games

If you're parroting this to apply it to Starfield then it's clear you're doing so from a place of ignorance. Due to Microsoft having them delay the game for a year while Microsoft testers helped with QA work Starfield is far and away the most stable Bethesda release. Most of what you'll see are minor bugs inherent to the engine itself: things can clip partway into the ground, some objects can spin in perpetuity, and once in a while the AI does something bizarre.

One fair warning though is not attempt to install the game on a basic hard-drive. When the store page states "SDD Required" it does so because the game relies on those improved loading times to function smoothly.

All their npcs look like they are made of clay.

This part is annoying because in earlier footage of the game long before release there was a lot more detail. At some point they decided to pare it back to the uncanny Barbie look that is in the final game.

Oh boy... Labor Day is just around the corner... Which means it'll be the 100 Days of Christmas season... -_-

is the game Victim or Family sided?

It depends on whether the Connie and Leland players in a match have skill and/or coordination. Otherwise there can be play back and forth on certain maps for the valve exit and fusebox exit. Some things come down to perk selection and Family member selection.

If you have a cell phone you could set a recurring weekly alarm for yourself at like 7pm the night before collection.

I think I bought it used, but the MSRP on the back cover was $12.95. I'm sure you could find deals online for less.

I can see that. Of course if the teacher really wanted heads to explode they'd teach something like The Bluest Eye. These days I'm not even sure a college class could handle a book like that. :P

have to wait for coupons to break even now.

they only give those out a few times a year if they give em out.

Order online. As long as the coupon has an order code on it you can reuse that code every week until it expires. Stores also can't refuse to honor a coupon when you order online. They either accept it up front for the online order, or they don't get that online business.

90 hours into the game and I'm just now realizing how busted Hypnotic Pattern is.

Yeah, Fireball gets the nod for memes and the fact that it deals more direct damage than other similarly leveled spells. Plus if you find a Wand of Fireballs you get an extra 6 Fireballs or so for a long adventuring day.

But control spells like Hypnotic Pattern can just shut down fights with a single cast. For 10 rounds your party can just focus on a single enemy, and the rest can't do anything about it once snared. In tabletop at least minions would use the Help action to free their boss.

The only decent thing from Subway is the Italian herb and cheese bread

Whenever I feel like using one of those $6.99 coupons for a footlong it's usually the herb and cheese bread.

The last few times I went I got the garlic chicken: shredded chicken, bacon, garlic aioli sauce, which I'll usually balance out with a bit of sweet onion sauce.

Basically, despite the content that was obviously cut, a big part of Hogwarts Legacy was exploring the school, and using the iconic spells. There is a bit of beast collecting and some decorating fluff you can engage in, but the core draw was experiencing the 'wizarding world'. Flying was fun for a time as well. But the open world segment is largely 'just there'.

Hopefully, albeit several years from now, there is a Definitive Edition with all of the Upper City restored.
