| Topic | FF9 truly was a special game (small spoilers) |
| ROBANN_88 07/18/20 4:15:15 AM #39 | Kaliesto posted... The original script was actually changed that mostly involved people's dialects or was slurred English (this makes no sense to change, but whatever), I don't think this was censorship but more like some idiot in their office thought the script had typos, and now its just plain English; that kind of destroyed the charm of some of the NPCs. I don't remember any slurred speech, though it has been many years since i last played. Can you expand on this point? --- |
| Topic | Scar wasn't a bad king. |
| ROBANN_88 07/18/20 3:59:10 AM #6 | There is an old mythos tradition that the prosperity of the king and the prosperity of the land go hand in hand. So, sick or infertile king means bad harvest. And an illegitimate, brother-killing king could be terrible --- |

| Topic | So Season 2 of Mandalorian might include Bona Fett |
| ROBANN_88 07/13/20 12:01:04 PM #12 | Compsognathus posted... I think Boba Fett is weird to bring in. Besides being dead, he also has minimal ties to Mandalore beyond wearing the armor. it was made pretty clear that being Mandalorian is more about way of life than ethnic past --- |

| Topic | Playing South Park Stick of Truth for the first time. Any tips? |
| ROBANN_88 07/09/20 7:53:07 PM #20 | I don't know how it's handled with controller, but the parts where you learn new fart moves is very un-intuitive, and they have almost nothing in common with how you use them in fights. --- |

| Topic | Sweden's covid strategy failed. |
| ROBANN_88 07/08/20 6:17:46 AM #29 | BalanceLost posted... Non-EU citizens havent been welcome since March. in theory, yes. in practice, not so much. like, if that was actually true, one would assume that for example, the amount of Asylum seekers from, say Iraq, uzbekistan, Syria etc would be down to 0, right https://www.migrationsverket.se/Om-Migrationsverket/Statistik/Asyl.html from Iraq the last 3 weeks: 52 people from Syria the last 3 weeks: 42 people from Uzbekistan the last 3 weeks: 38 people with a grand total of 508 people over the last 3 weeks. they only name the top 5 conutries so the majority gets lumped into "other" but i can't think of any EU country that asylum seekers come from, so i'm like 99% sure all those are non-EU citizens looking at the weekly statistics, since the end of March at week 14, to the end of June at week 27, a grand total of 2446 asylum seekers have enterd the country. (again, i'm assuming all are non-EU since no EU conutry i know of is in a state that would justify Asylum) these stats are the "incoming applications" of those weeks, which you have to have just gotten into the country to apply for how does that conform with "Non-EU citizens havent been welcome since March."? --- |
| Topic | Sweden's covid strategy failed. |
| ROBANN_88 07/08/20 5:35:23 AM #27 | Thompson posted... Oh please. Sweden would keep its borders sealed tight if their neighbors were corona breeding grounds. I think you're wrong here. For the leading politicians, keeping the borders open as much as possible without any control, even if it ends up fucking everything up, that's like their whole identity. After all, we're a so called "humanitarian superpower" --- |

| ROBANN_88 07/06/20 2:00:01 PM #219 | jojopellegrino posted... i have this game in my backlog.... how do you like it overall? is it still a lot of squad management in this one? it has been a while, but yeah. i think it had a bunch of squad management, that's like the basis of the game. i've heard that WoTC is supposed to add a whole bunch to it as well --- |

| ROBANN_88 07/05/20 7:16:47 PM #16 | lordofmud posted... Couldn't you make them arrive at the town just before nightfall. I have them begin resupplying maybe you can get a room at the end. Then suddenly they're all attacked and all killed. Then they become caught in the loop as well. They venture too far from the Town Center the day simply ends for them. Had this been a long campaign, i would love to do that. But right now i'm only barely confident enough to do one-shots. I'll keep that in mind incase i ever do a campaign in the future, though. Hopefully atleast one person dies through this. Might have to play a bit more cinematically loose with the combat than normal --- |

| ROBANN_88 07/05/20 7:03:48 PM #14 | I think i got it. If they don't figure it out right away, i'm just gonna have like a quick, faint magical light come from the Wizards home at the moment the spell takes hold on the second night --- |
| Topic | need help figuring out this D&D thing |
| ROBANN_88 07/05/20 5:42:40 PM #11 | ooh, i like those. but i would probably reverse that second, as the wizard want to stay relatively safe from the effects. what can i actually even have them know that would point to the wizard? --- |
| Topic | need help figuring out this D&D thing |
| ROBANN_88 07/05/20 5:38:18 PM #9 | i'm thinking like, the PCs have been sent to this town by someone to investigate why communication has broken down, as all the people are pretty much stuck in there, and anyone else who has been sent in also gets stuck, as they all get killed and affected by the spell. --- |

| ROBANN_88 07/05/20 4:35:19 PM #8 | nah, all biological traces of it disappears at sunrise. only various building damages remain. spending a fortune on building fixing. back to the subject. how to give clues toward the wizard? he's probably in a nearby tower or house or something. --- |
| Topic | need help figuring out this D&D thing |
| ROBANN_88 07/05/20 3:06:57 PM #6 | yeah. people know they're in a loop. like they've tried getting out but just wake up in the town, they've tried committing suicide, but just end up waking up at home. but again, no one understands why, so at this point they've just fell into the general apathy of a problem they can't fix. at least, that's how it is in the book i'm stealing this from, though these details can be changed if it helps the narrative GreenMagicite posted... ay you have a tiefling in the party, and they figure out they're in a loop so no damage is totally done - what's to stop them from just exsanguinating their companion a few times for materials?i'm not sure i know what this means --- |

| ROBANN_88 07/05/20 2:48:41 PM #3 | Tyranthraxus posted... Do the PCs also have a "bad dream" or do they remember it with perfect accuracy? the PCs would remember it. though, if any PC gets killed during this, they wake up in a bed in a tavern, now affected in the same way as the villagers, dream and all. if after the fight, they ask someone, they get a full explenation of this, but the villagers themselves don't know what causes it --- |
| Topic | need help figuring out this D&D thing |
| ROBANN_88 07/05/20 2:45:27 PM #1 | to preface, this is for a one-shot (to be reused in possible future campaign if i ever get the guts for it) so, the basic premise is that i'm using the town of Hinderstap from the Wheel of Time: a town where, at night, the inhabitants go into a murderous rage, killing everything, only to wake up unharmed, remembering it as just a bad dream in the morning, over and over. so, the PCs are gonna get attacked by these guys, and then the next day see that anyone they killed comes back alive again. (unless they just run away, which i have no idea how to stop) and at the end, they're gonna find the source of this is a Wizard doing some fucked up Groundhog Day stuff, i'm thinking to keep a loved one from dying of an incurable disease, and the PCs can either fight him, or just convince him to stop. anyway, i have the solution to the problem, but the issue i'm having is i have no idea how the PCs would actually figure it out. i don't know how to give out the clues. any help would be appreciated. --- |

| ROBANN_88 07/04/20 6:30:23 AM #25 | Foppe posted... The way I see it, it is too easy to expel the good ones, the ones that want to get a job and pay taxes, while the ones that gets into criminal gangs seems to get a Free to Stay-card. yeah, i never understood that. people get kicked out all the time for having not taken their vacations, but rapists, murderers and thieves can walk around here willy nilly without issue. and when some wifebeater (i think that's what he did) actually do get sentenced to be deported, there comes some left extremist and stops the plane that is gonna get them out --- |

| ROBANN_88 07/03/20 6:59:10 AM #18 | I can imagine how catching a grenade can help if it threathens to land in a big group otherwise. But jumping infront of a train or throwing your hand on a blade doesn't do anything good at all for anyone. That's just pointless --- |

I'm not very well versed, maybe someone like @ROBANN_88 knows more (for some reason I have him pegged as a history buff). I'm a history enthusiast. I like it, and can probably be good at finding info when needed, but i would'nt say i'm any kind of knowldegable authority. And now that i think about it, Stormaktstiden is a subject i know surprisingly little about beyond the basics --- |
