are you supposed to ignore those high-level caves and shit while you're still in chapter 1? i got rekt when i wandered into one

Great thing about this game is that you can truly explore however you want. There are no "gates" blocking progress other than the bad dudes that fuck you up.

So if you can go into a higher level cave and survive a few rounds to beef up, that's entirely a legit strategy.

I find it cute that developers use achievements to track how people are playing their game.

That's why so many games kick one in near the beginning. They want to figure out who actually plays the game, rather than tracking "copies shipped".

So your evidence for toxic masculinity being a real problem is a book written by a footballer? Thanks for proving me right.

Could you unpack this statement?

Because quite frankly as it reads makes not a lick of sense.

ironically the attitude that "men always want it" and "any male that complains about this isn't a 'real' man" are symptoms of toxic masculinity

The very concept of "toxic masculinity" is an invention of sexist toxic feminists.

Called it that this topic would get here: a declaration that toxic masculinity doesn't exist.

the best I've gotten is like x2 xp and x5 jp

I haven't even used it lol. I want to now...

Right? I saw it on the list and I'm like "Why the hell would I want a random effect that I can't even control?" Now I know why. o_o

Question: Is this a problem that is unique to The Simpsons and its longevity, that it has lasted long enough to span multiple eras of cultural thought and taste?

But there is a thoughtfulness at the core of the show. The fact that the Simpsons are yellow and not the color that passes for Caucasian in cartoons, that Mickey Mouse pink, thats intentional. Its taking that pink away, and making it yellow. And then taking yellow away from whatever racist connotation that that has had. And that was intentional. As many people have pointed out, its all stereotypes on our show. Thats the nature of cartooning. And you try not to do reprehensible stereotypes. Anyway. I probably said too much.

I mean, never mind that he's on record stating that the Simpsons are yellow to be recognized when flipping channels:

Interesting read regardless.

Factor 5, sir.

Damn. I forgot about them. I thought Lucas Arts handled the Star Wars games before they went defunct.

Lucasarts published all of them, and there are a few that inhouse Lucasarts devs worked on. As for outside dev houses that have made Star Wars games, you have:

Factor 5
Pandemic
Totally Games
Raven Software
Sony Online Entertainment
EA/Bioware
Ensemble Studios
Petroglyph
Ronin Entertainment
And Sega. :)

This is relevant to my interests. :D

EDIT: I still adore the fact that there are like four capital ships at any one time in the Battle of Endor and everything else is part of the skybox. It's way more obvious with this level of fidelity, but I almost bought it back when I was a lad.

Because I have sedentary hobbies and did not develop good exercise habits in my early life. I also have low self-esteem, so little internal drive to improve myself, and no one in my life to motivate me to get healthy for their sake.

I mean "fat" is relative anyway, but I'm certainly overweight.

Milkman, what's the deal with you and Cards this morning? Did someone try to get you to play Cards last night with a bunch of people and you couldn't win a single black card, and despite the fact that everyone was having fun with the silly combinations, you were just bitter because for you it's about winning, not about having fun? And now you're taking it out on the game itself?

Is that the explanation for this sudden vendetta?
---

CyricZ

Personally I believe Cards has run its course, but I still find it an interesting way to learn about new people you meet.

Congratulations to Martha Roby of The Great State of Alabama on her big GOP Primary win for Congress. My endorsement came appropriately late, but when it came the flood gates opened and you had the kind of landslide victory that you deserve. Enjoy!

For some reason this one bugs me the most. Still finds a way to make someone else's victory about himself.

For me, the depressing part is that there is a ton of potential in the QD games, but they can't get around Cage's ego.

Best part of Detroit was the Connor and Hank dynamic and Cage was constantly trying to quash their natural interactivity.

Nice to see Mal is willing to die on the same hill as Hannity.

The hill of "discredit new popular person who's beyond the favorite for winning her seat in the House anyway, rather than focus on where proper battlegrounds are".

Almost like the motivation is stifling any kind of hope from the opposition. Killing joy. Killing spirit. Killing the spark of inspiration.

Holy cow I dunno if anyone has said it yet, but Second Wind is a damn useful skill for mages.

Remind me again which one that is

Dancer's third Support Skill.

After every action, restore SP. I don't know if it's a percentile or a flat amount, but my character with 103 SP restores 6 SP every turn. That suggests 5% maybe? Regardless, enough to mostly compensate for a single target attack spell.
