My favorite is Battlestar Galactica. I don't need any expansions to have great time playing that game.

Really? When I played it we had a bad time.

First hour nobody was a cylon, so everything went smoothly and we spent an hour just sort of putting along and we all got bored. I wanted to call outside assistance to confirm there was no cylon at the time, but then it ruins the whole point of it.
Second hour, when the flip happened, there was a fun game of "can we survive this" for a few rounds, but then the first cylon trashed a mission (fair enough), and we all sent him away. Then we realized that we found the second cylon (the player even admitted so), but we didn't want to throw him away because he could do more damage outside of the ship than inside so we brought a cylon on missions with us because we were so close anyway.

At the end we all agreed it was kinda dumb how it turned out, and there are weird rules about what you can or can't say or talk about. It just sort of felt like a traitor game with all of the social aspects replaced with mechanics that weren't all that fun.

It was probably just the single game that I played that wasn't good, but it's the only game that I played, and it really soured me on the whole thing.

I mostly have some more casual games.
Trains, Risk Legacy, Codenames, Tsuro, Galaxy Trucker, Ticket to Ride, Escape: Curse of the Temple, and Formula: D.

I really like Secret Hitler and Bloodborne though.

I'm also pretty big into card games (like the standard deck), I'm not sure what it is, but I like just having them on hand.

The day I use ze/xe/hir/zir/etc will be a sad day indeed.

Again, this says more about you and them and your generalised disrespect for other people than anything else. So it would be a sad day that either of you developed common courtesy and respect for the identity of other people in the world? That is sadder than anything else about this, and more disgusting.

I personally don't like when someone creates a word and enforces for something rather than letting it evolve naturally and spread memetically.
"They" is a bit awkward to use the first 20 times or so, but it works just fine.

I thought it was auto if the target was under a major disable, like sleep.

That's how you enable the coup de grace, yes, but it's not an auto-kill when you smack them in the head.

Lokarin posted...

I'm referring to traditional style Cast and Kill (or petrify if applicable) type abilities, as well as Dungeons and Dragons Coup de Grace

To be clear in DnD... that's not what happens, it's just what everyone houseruled.
They make a Fort save = 10 + Damage dealt, failure is death.

I think this is how black people are born, so good luck with the rest of your life I suppose.

Is it the same person?

Does the kid have a mustache?

Yes, it's a great way to find your dad, because you can play as different children, and their faces all are a some sort of smaller ratio of their fathers'.

But the news article says he's being charged
therefore SJWs have made saying racist things a crime

You yourself put it in quotes.
Stop being a pedantic asshole.

Remember Hitler spent time in prison for anti Semitism, during which his hatred for Jews only increased, and even had more time to write the book that changed history.

Yeah I'm sure Liberals have all the answers to solve racism. Which includes direct charges of racism in increased intensity, scope, and targets. And hoping that doesn't backfire.

This just in, coddling racists and telling them how cool they are is the answer to the worlds problems.

But this is America

How is that illegal?

If it were illegal, there would be literal actual charges pressed against him.
There aren't.

The first episode had Castle hitting a wall while screaming so hard his hand bled.
I don't know what else you want.

I just want more of the Netflix series, nothing else.

Oh, yeah I've heard about it, but I have never really messed with that before.
I have enough degrees of playing whatever magic I want for that to not be something I'm looking for.

and that Russia's "heroics" weren't intentional but a "hoist by his own petard" moment where Stalin had allied w/ hitler out of convenience and was betrayed and caught by surprise.

Minor correction, but nobody was surprised when Germany attacked Russia.
Stalin was using the treatise as a way to literally pick up the factories and move them beyond the Ural mountains, and needed all of the time possible. Which is why they had to have so much defensive fighting before the factories could kick into gear.

Sorry, you found what exactly? The game?

I'm a big fan of magic though, and I'd be happy to work on some decks.

I've got just a handfull that I really like, but it's all more niche things.

The first one is an english Starcraft: BW commentator, he shows up when he does, and it's always nice to just relax and watch a game.

This is just an art streamer I will pop in occasionally, he does teach in a university and can talk about drawing in such a good way even I learn new stuff, and I don't draw in the slightest.

Pull your table from the wall about an inch, that way you can shove the wires down back there instead of sprawling on the table.

It is set in a world in an alternate history in which the Soviet Union has won the Cold War.

On the cover, there's a hand holding a D20. That's because an important character in the book runs a tabletop gaming store and some of the characters gather there for things.

Welp, that sounds pretty awful, and I love tabletop RPGs.

Did you change anything, or was just saying to yourself "that's just the anxiety" work?

The House of the Scorpion by Nancy Farmer

Mateo is hated and reviled by just about everyone around him, except for one person: El Patron, druglord, and the ruler of the country of Opium, along what used to be the US-Mexico border. El Patron loves Mateo as if he were himself, because Mateo is exactly that-he is El Patron's clone.

She wrote a sequel about 13 years later called The Lord of Opium.

Oh yeah, that was a great book.
It's a good YA book before they were considered YA.

Oh s***, she also wrote The Ear The Eye and The Arm, which was great too.

Well... wait and see how they look when they actually exist, remember those estus flasks that they made for collector edition for 3?

I'm just trying to imagine what you could do with $450 for entertainment, and it's f***ing ridiculous. Yeah, f*** off with that price.

Y'all need to read some more non-fiction.

Can you call users an analog to a (reasonable, ie not hitler/stalin/whatever) political figure then?

Oh, Lan, is it cool to insult political figures?

Oh boy, we're totally back to old GameFAQs-style moderations now, aren't we?

Oh yeah, what's your opinion on The Muppets (in general)? You're old enough to have watched them as they came out.

i'd need a bathtime with your uncle

anyways, hasn't this game been around for a couple years now

Ya, its full title includes "Simulator 2015"

You're not including the full full title, which is Show With Your Dad Simulator 2015: Do You Still Shower With Your Dad.

Is a hotdog a sandwich?

LinkPizza posted...

AFAIK, you just try to get in the shower with the correct dad. And you get more points the faster you do it. I don't think it's too weird. I mean, I think it's probably still a little weird. But most games are.

That's just the start to the weirdness.
You eventually get into a bullet hell.

How would you rate it? Do you think its appropriate for young kids to play?

8/10 Great game, too short.

0/10 for young kids

And I've owned it for over a year and a half.

It's great.

Seems fair, there's a lot of quantum stuff is a bunch of bulls*** that somehow works enough so that there's an everyday normal thing.

Oh, there's my absolute favorite book that is kinda dumb but awesome anyway.

Salt: A World History by Mark Kurlansky.
You want to know about how salt changed the world? The historical significance of salt? The history of salt production? Modern techniques for salt mining? This is the book for you!
https://www.amazon.com/Salt-World-History-Mark-Kurlansky/dp/0142001619

If you want historical memoir stuff, you absolutely need to check out The Bloody White Baron by James Palmer.
Follow a man go slowly (or quickly) crazy as he goes into the bumf*** nowhere Siberia and believes himself to be the reincarnation of Genghis Khan in the 1920s during the Russian Revolution!

Mmmm, 4k resolution and 2k textures.

Oh baby, if they fixed the Blighttown lag, I'd be so happy.

Because the combat in dark souls 3 and bloodborne is better , imo

I wouldn't say that it's better, more that it's different.
It's more plodding, tactical, and resource-managementy. Not really what you expect fir a third person action game, but that's what it is.
