| Topic | It's just "Czech Republic," not "The Czech Republic"... |
| Karovorak 07/18/23 8:00:34 AM #9 | I don't even know how often czech people use "republic" in their own language to refer to their county. At least in German we don't. It's just Tschechien (for Czechia), I can't remember evere hearing "Tschechische Republik". About sound of "the": Can't say any about that either, but for me growing up with the german language it doesn't sound strange either. Sometimes wie simply add some article to countries too. Like "Die Trkei" for "(the) Turkey", die Ukraine for "The Ukraine", and we have the same for Chad, Netherlands, Kosovo and other countries or regions too. We did it for "the" BRD and "the" DDR too, as well as for the sowjet union. Solid_Sonic posted... I agree but I haven't heard that name in a minute so I thought they were trying to get away from it. Ehhhh... I would not say it like that. |

| Karovorak 07/18/23 5:27:48 AM #8 | Okay, we know now why she is single. misterbum posted... Whats the downside? The fear of ending up as spiderfood. |

Swarms get extra damage from AoE attacks, so... https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/user_image/8/0/8/AAelttAAEqyA.jpg And yes, there is a timer going on. Have fun looting! |
| Topic | How many countries have you taken a dump in? |
| Karovorak 07/18/23 5:00:33 AM #6 |
Bonus dump, probably russian airspace on my Japan trip. As an european, this should be more. |

| Karovorak 07/18/23 4:54:42 AM #218 | Ivynn posted... Once again, my screwed up sleep schedule decides I get up early for some Pathfindin'. Usually it's the other way. You start some decent round in Pathfinder, and suddenly, boom, 2 AM, goodbye sleep schedule. |
| Topic | A random person is granted immunity to any legal punishment for killing |
| Karovorak 07/18/23 4:50:53 AM #11 | Beveren_Rabbit posted... how would society deal with this person if they started openly killing people? We would change the legal system that gives him immunity. I mean, most monarchs have such a legal immunity, including the Kings and Queens in Europe. As far as I know, many of them (or at least the monarchy itself) are pretty popular in their country too, for whatever reason. But as soon this is put into question, because the King starts his personal killing spree, the priviliges of the monarchs are nothing more than a piece of paper. |
| Topic | I can't fucking sleep bro |
| Karovorak 07/18/23 3:31:11 AM #3 | Same. Last night was terrible, only had 5 hours of sleep, and they were not good either. |
| Topic | Should I go see this movie or not? The Last Unicorn (1982) |
| Karovorak 07/17/23 11:50:34 AM #9 | I probably have not seen it for 25 years as a child ago, and can't remember anything about the movie anymore. But I still remember that I liked it. |

| Topic | $300,000 or never have to sleep again |
| Karovorak 07/17/23 7:05:56 AM #61 | BurmesePenguin posted... You can say this about literally anything you don't appreciate about life. I mean, sleeping is nice because it feels good, but this deal also includes to be always well rested. And if you want to skip some time or sleep to wind down, you can still sleep instantly on demand. There is also the problem of having trouble to sleep, or having a bad sleep. This get's fixed too, and it's especially nice if you are sick or in pain. |
| Topic | I'm playing Pathfinder: WotR and I have no idea what I'm doing. *spoilers* |
| Karovorak 07/17/23 6:16:28 AM #205 | Ivynn posted... Well then. Remember when I said that you will miss a lot of stuff in your first playthrough, and you should not worry about it? Well, I now tell you that reloading this decision is for the better. At least take a look to the Hellknights and talk to them, before you decide. |
| Topic | What are some silly/unintuitive hidden mechanics in games? |
| Karovorak 07/17/23 5:49:38 AM #30 | Goldice posted... Sonic 3. That barrel. You know the one Fuck yes. I played Sonic 3 many, many, MANY times, and only heard about the "correct way" something like 3 years ago. This part was always the biggest pain in the ass for the whole game, simply because I didn't know the easy way. |

| Topic | best game maker in JP is dead |
| Karovorak 07/17/23 4:52:05 AM #12 | darkmaian23 posted... Does anyone know the actual reason the studio is shutting down? All of the games available in the West are popular, and if you like that sort of thing at all, the studio does have name recognition...not all of which is entirely positive, of course. Yeah, but people don't pay for their porn, at least not in the west, so they pirate everything they can. Doesn't matter how popular it is when everyone just takes some torrent they found on some imageboard and fill it with mods or other usermade content however they want. |
| Topic | No lie, women are better Gamers than men. |
| Karovorak 07/17/23 4:32:25 AM #24 | VeggetaX posted... Hey you stole the idea of this topic from this pic This guy is the embodiment of everything that goes wrong in such discussions. No, being a "gamer" is not about what kind of games you play, but how, when, why, and so on. Best definition is probably made by the person in question itself. If the person says they are a gamer, or would put gaming into their hobbies, they are a gamer. If they say "Nah, I'm no gamer, I just play some mobile games like CandyCrush while waiting at the bus stop" then they are not. But that has nothing to do with Candycrush or mobile games. |
| Topic | FF16 be like "We need to get to this city immediately" |
| Karovorak 07/17/23 3:51:53 AM #12 | The game is really terrible with the concept of time, especially when traveling is involved. "We have to hurry! We have to "We can't! You have to travel through half of the continent TWICE for this main quest first!" |
| Topic | Ukraine War Topic Part VIII |
| Karovorak 07/17/23 3:21:40 AM #425 | Thompson posted... Was it an explosion, or just the inevitable consequence of fixing the bridge with glue and duct tape? AFAIK, no one doubts the fact that there were 2 explosions after 3 AM. Ukraine was trolling Russia a bit saying "No no, that was Russia's doing, they attack themself just to provoke other!" but that was more like mirroring the ridiculous claims Russia does every single day. I just don't understand why it was again the car lane that got hit hardest, and not the train bridge. Probably because the car bridge is easier to destroy? |
| Topic | What's the better way to score media: Like/dislike or x out of x |
| Karovorak 07/16/23 9:41:45 AM #13 | GeraldDarko posted... Is it? That's the problem. Not knowing what the score means from a specific person. If you know the person, and know they rate stuff, you know if an 8 is strong score, or a weak one. If you have one person raiting many things, the score is much better, because it gives you some kind of consistent ranking. If you have many people raiting a single thing, I would say that the score is supposed to be better too. But you need many people for it, and have to check for the 1/10 haters and free 10/10 shills. |
| Topic | What Baldur's Gate 3 class will you play first? |
| Karovorak 07/16/23 5:11:58 AM #32 | Either War Cleric / Paladin or Full sorc. Depending on the classes my 2 buddies finally settle on. If both is going to he taken, probably going for arcane trickster or assassin. Details are going to be decided on the fly. |
| Topic | What type of food could you go for right now? |
| Karovorak 07/16/23 4:54:12 AM #5 | It's 11 AM and already way too hot right now to eat a lot. Ehhh, japanese / sushi it is, but it could be anything that isn't too much or too hot. |
| Topic | developers on why Baldur's Gate 3 can be once in lifetime/generation RPG |
| Karovorak 07/16/23 4:32:44 AM #14 | boxoto posted... I can speak on neither of those games nor BG3, since I'm waiting for the PS5 version, but yea, I don't think we often see the complexity/options of CRPGs on a AAA level. I'm afraid it's all about marketing and hype. Believe me, I will be playing Baldur's Gate 3 on the day it releases, but it somewhat saddens me that other games (Like Pathfinder WotR, or Pillars of Eternity) only get a fraction of that popularity. And they have nice voice overs too. They just lack the big cutscenes and dialog visuals we know from the AAA games like Mass Effect. That's it. |
| Topic | developers on why Baldur's Gate 3 can be once in lifetime/generation RPG |
| Karovorak 07/16/23 4:14:53 AM #10 | boxoto posted... I think they're talking about more than just quality - different options, length, cinematics, mechanics, visuals, etc. That's because these RPGs are rarely AAA and complex at the same time. But cinematics and some visuals aside? If you look at the past you have obviously the old Baldur's gate games or Neverwinter Nights. And a bit closer past we have Pathfinder Kingmaker & Wrath of the Reightous as well as Pillars of Eternity. |
| Topic | Smackems is SUSPENDED! |
| Karovorak 07/16/23 3:13:54 AM #37 | It would certainly help if moderations would be more transparent to the community. And it would also help if modded topics would not get nuked down by default, but at least get locked or just the TC moderated. |
| Topic | Will somebody make your WARNED/SUSPENDED topic? |
| Karovorak 07/16/23 2:48:42 AM #33 | Anteaterking posted... I feel like usually someone posts something moddable in a topic with a lot of posts so people are already looking for it to happen (and if the topic is political, potentially is hoping the person gets punished). That's one way, but the easier one is to get tagged by someone who is checking his tagged people regulary. The friendlist (people with tags included) shows the current account level, and therefore warned/suspended/purged/banned status. That's why we always see who is suspended, but not always can say why exactly. |

| Topic | One mil, or get the answer whether there's a God or not? |
| Karovorak 07/15/23 7:14:53 PM #44 | Money. Chances are good that it the answer will be "no" like I think it is. And if the answer is "yes", well, I'm not sure how much my life would change because of that. Sure, I would suddenly take religion much more serious, but that's it. God doesn't seem to differ that much between believers and unbelievers anyways. |
| Topic | Will somebody make your WARNED/SUSPENDED topic? |
| Karovorak 07/15/23 7:00:34 PM #20 | Crimsoness posted... Nobody would probably notice This, Nobody would notice me getting warned or suspended anyways. Still, it's not like I plan getting moded in the first place, yet alone with true sanctions behind. |

| Topic | TonyKojima is SUSPENDED! |
| Karovorak 07/15/23 2:25:02 PM #32 | dancing_cactuar posted... And here I thought it was because of how hard he was malding over the Microsoft acquisition on the PS5 board, 'cause that event resulted in other people getting so mad they landed themselves in suspension. I'm sure he didn't get suspended for his covid/mask discussion when the postings are still there, so maybe this is the actual reason. |

| Karovorak 07/15/23 2:22:54 PM #7 | tremain07 posted... Holy shit dude like 400 dollars?! He uses it for his 2nd summer now, and basically in every room. In the living room, pc room, bed room, everywhere, because he has no other AC and the windows in his appartment are all facing east or south. So yes, he just takes the whole thing and moves it. |

| Topic | TonyKojima is SUSPENDED! |
| Karovorak 07/15/23 2:12:08 PM #28 | ANort175 posted... He was suspended less than a month ago as well, he's really not that good at what he does. Okay, seems I have missed that. But for the amount of activity he has here and had on 261 that's still nothing, so I was still pretty surprised. Lets see how long this suspension/purgatory will last. Probably not as long as Toothbrush. |

No one says A, Appl, Activi$on, $ony, Nintndo, or whatever, and none of them is less greedy or capitalistic than MS or any of the others are. Such "modifications" are childish anyways, and I have a hard time taking people serious who talk or write like that. |

| Karovorak 07/15/23 1:05:59 PM #12 | Okay, I will just try to be helpful once in this topic and only once. Maybe it has something to do with you shaving it a bit too... harmful. If not, let a doctor check it. I mean, seriously, neither you nor someone else would like a itchy dick. Actually, "someone else" would dislike it even more. |
| Topic | $300,000 or never have to sleep again |
| Karovorak 07/15/23 10:27:19 AM #16 | The "no sleep" is just way too attractive. It's basically a "you never get (mentally) tired (with the exception of hard physical work)" and "you always have perfect sleep whenever you want", with the bonus of having extra time if you DON'T want to sleep right now. Getting the benefits of perfect sleep 24/7, without even having to sleep is going to be even better if you become sick or do some exhausting work. Hell, even the "you can fall asleep whenever you want within 20 seconds" is pretty nice in such situations. |
| Topic | Tags are made public and moddable. Do you get banned? |
| Karovorak 07/15/23 4:24:31 AM #32 | Banned no. But it probably would end up with some suspension and my first karma lost, I don't want that :( |
| Topic | Japanese child dies after AI algorithm determines she can live with abuser. |
| Karovorak 07/14/23 6:43:48 AM #33 | Tora_Sami posted... The AI didn't say she was safe, the AI said it was a 39% chance of a something bad happening and any human would know that is too high of a risk. I think the AI made a good assessment but the humans should make a decision on the data given. Like the article said it is a yard stick not a decision maker. This. The mistake didn't happen by the AI, the mistake happend by the person accepting that. They AI said "it could be fine", but it's up to the humans to put this into perspective, into context, or get more information to get to a better decision. Never should have such a process a single point of failure anyways, doesn't matter if human or AI, because a single person can always decide wrong. |

His eyes were drawing you in like crazy. |
