....dark souls? the dark souls lp was really fun once the commentary team solidified because geop was blind as gently caress and hte team was v good at giving enough hints to keep him from getting stuck but without spoiling anything for him, and at leading him into getting his poo poo wrecked

Tolkien was mega-religious and fretted that mortals using magic could never be good, so the wizards had to be angels

they make lots of media for passive experience
with appropriate narrative and visual conventions and everything
why passive-experience things meant for active experience?

I don't get the appeal
would rather watch most bad teevee than most good videogames, frankly

I watched, basically, a camwhore playing The Witcher because she came up on my Twicth stream. I ignored her sad pleading for money and decided the game looked good and I bought it.

The game is good. I just needed to see the gameplay. The comments and her (wearing fake glasses with no lenses in them and admitting it on camera) had nothing to do with my decision.

I was worried about the combat sucking, but it doesn't; and the animation and voice-acting is pretty drat good. I wasted about forty minutes on this poo poo, but I'm glad I did. The game is good.

It needs to be removed completely before Senator Pinske's body lies In State. If SC allows that flag to fly, 1/2 of full mast while his mourners have to walk beneath it to the courthouse, then the GOP will...

i think a large part of that anger is that the southern and rural political class are still lite-insurgents that despise the country whose nationalism they hypocritically hide behind. and they intentionally harm this country and seek to harm and destroy it.

People get understandably frustrated with the way the southern gentry (some of the most unabashedly evil people that can exist within a polite society) have escaped unruffled and unthreatened from every one of the awful schemes they have enacted over the past several centuries.

It's in a very real sense the same set of families - the same people - who have done so much of the worst stuff in American history. Of course people get upset when reminded of them.
