She farted so much that her parrot would mimic her farts and she killed a bird by leaving its cage next to a heater because she was worried it would get cold, while giving advice for owning birds. Doing exactly that is about on par with somebody giving advice on dog diets and nutrition, while giving their scottish terrier a full bar of chocolate at every meal. E: I'm pretty sure she came back with a post like "Ol squawky died, all I did was put his cage directly next to a constant source of unavoidable heat that would cook him internally  " bawk has a new favorite as of 09:27 on Aug 22, 2016 |

she was told not to put Megatron down on the ground because chickens are insane rape monsters and would gently caress the wound, and because she was 8 she did not understand this, so she put Megatron down and the rooster brutally hosed the wound

I really Iike how in Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE the characters have different casual outfits they change between as the game goes on. E: Funnily enough the below post reminded me that TMS does something similar, a lot of communication between party members is done via not-Line and every character has their own distinct typing style. One character uses text smilies, another never bothers with capitals, etc. etc. AlphaKretin has a new favorite as of 15:14 on Aug 22, 2016 |

In the Mr Robot mobile game everything is done through text messages and the developers put a lot of effort into making each person distinct. Also when you chose what you're going to say you see the main character type out the message, including common typos that they fix as they go.

I bought this stupid game called "Siralim" on a lark, it was part of a flash sale on PS4. It's basically a 8-bit JRPG with absolutely no plot. you go into random generated dungeons, fight poo poo, and see how far you can get. Instead of finding new towns for equipment, you upgrade your castle to add more poo poo you can buy and make. Combat is fought using Pokemon-like creatures, which you have to catch as you fight. Each creature has a special ability, that really keeps combat fresh both in your group composition, and when fighting groups of enemies. If you are going to have a game that is only combat and nothing else, the combat had better be good! The little thing I love is the game removes every pain in the rear end most older JRPGs have. I usually find these games a slog, but not here. All creatures get XP regardless if they die in combat or not. All creatures fully heal and lose debuffs after every fight. you have full control of how difficult the game is. when you start, the teleporter takes you to level one, and you simply clear the dungeon and go to level 2. the levels are exponentially harder, so its never boring. eventually you unlock the ability to just go to the difficulty you want. new creatures start at level one, but XP is scaled so they quickly catch up to your regular group, making trying new creatures easy. at any time you can warp back to your castle to make or modify gear, make new creatures, or complete castle quests. You then warp back to the exact point in the dungeon you were at. If your party wipes, you just port back to the castle, with no real repercussions. fights are fast, and can be made even faster my turning on turbo mode. hell, if a fight goes on to long a message lets you know all creatures are tired, and damage will be increased. It starts with just a few maps, but you quickly unlock eight different environments, which also effect combat. (realm of death randomly brings creatures back to life for example.) The game is beyond crunchy, with building synergy and combos between both your creatures and the items they use. eventually the creatures and the one item they can equip gain multiple abilities. If all that wasn't enough, your main avatar (who isn't really on the battlefield, but has many skills to buff/harm creatures) levels up, and can spend points on themselves, perks, and creatures all of which again change how fights flow. Ive only scratched the surface of this stupid game, I cant believe I've already played it for 7 hours. There's a lot more I haven't unlocked in the game, and everything really builds on itself in a very organic way. best 4 bucks I spent, I'll probably wind up getting it on my phone. (Its on everything. PS4, Vita, Windows, Mac, IoS, Linux, Android. not sure about XBOX.) Sorry if this sounds like a sales pitch, It's just refreshing to buy something that looks like shovelware and turns out to be well made.

I like it when video games call attention to something that makes absolutely no sense in the game world but roll with it anyway. I was playing animal crossing the other day, with a fireworks event scheduled later that night. Being animal crossing you can submit custom designs for the fireworks. Isabelle points out that if you change the design after submitting it, the fireworks will change as well. "Nobody knows how the firework engineers figure this out, but isn't this useful to know?" is essentially what she says.

new Space Station 13 story. For context, the admins recently added a radio station away from the main station level. It's mostly a silly gimmick since everyone has a radio headset that does all the same stuff anyway, but silly gimmicks are 90% of the fun of the game so who caresLunchmeat Larry posted:Man, running a radio station really does get you some good stories.

Playing Battlefield: Hardline and it has a neat career mode. You're a cop, and a lot of your time is spent collecting evidence. Each evidence, though, lets your character make a quip about it. If you have a partner on the scene, they'll chime in too. Sometimes they're ahead of the clues ("then this means..."), other times they're behind, so you don't know 100% what each piece of evidence means.

I'm familiar with BYOND because of Mitadake High, but I loaded up SS13 once and was immediately overwhelmed. I want to be able to play it though, so I'm hoping I won't be banned from the server the first time I click something weird and accidentally kill someone out of character or whatever.

There's actually a whole system of a "mentorchat" kind of thing where experienced players will have a different chat color, watching you play and talking you through how to do basic things like "putting on a space suit" or "successfully fending off an attack" or "cooking horrible atrocities that spit in the face of god and man alike" They won't be able to tell you everything, and sometimes its easiest to look up information in the thread/ask questions there, too. I would only ever play engineer when I was on a SS13 stint because somebody posted how to set up the station's engine in the thread.

They also continued the new series' trend of having there be different versions of the level song when you're underwater. They're all pretty much the same with some changes to make it more understated and "watery" except for this level's: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0iB0Ds3o0Uk Which is a remake of the motif of a classic DKC track  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAPpVplHiDE

I ended up getting Bravely Second a few days ago, and I don't know why I did not get this game sooner. I was kind of putting it off because it looked too similar to the first game and the music I've heard was really samey but a lot of the new jobs and improvements in general are pretty great. I'm really liking the spell caster ability/wizard job the most, where you can add effects to spells in battle like making them always go first, turning them to magic poison or even healing/buffing poison. The ability to keep fighting battle's to multiply the rewards also makes grinding a lot more bearable than the first game and it's pretty fun to try to see how long you can keep the fights going.

Note that if you pick Captain, you'll have trouble if it's a Nuke round, since you're actually important in that case. You can tell it's a Nuke round if you see people in heavily armored suits flying around outside. They have trackers for the nuke disc that you spawn with every round, and you have to avoid dying while holding the disc somewhat close to the station and awaiting the shuttle.

Wizard is plain broken as it pairs with any other spellcaster set really well. Want summons that deal physical damage so they ignore elemental resistances? Want heals that cast over several turns? Want a healer enemy to blow its turns removing status effects? Wizard can do that.

Mr. 47 posted:In 'Sir, You Are Being Hunted', I liked the little touches that made the game super-British. SYABH is a bit of a forgotten gem. The developers talked in their pre-release blogs about how they specifically set up the terrain generators to produce "British" landscapes, styling the villages and hedgerows after rural Northern English countryside. My personal favourite touch is the way the game generates procedural graffiti to go on the backs of signposts. Crouching, hidden, whilst readying a shotgun to give a bunch of tweed-clad Torybots a whiff of buckshot is made so much better when the item you're hiding behind has BOZZA WOZ ERE scrawed across it.

I started up a Thief character in South Park: The Stick Of Truth and I'm loving how brutal the backstab is. It's the first ability thieves get, and at max strength it's hacking off half the health bar of powerful enemies and one-shotting lesser foes. Why did I ever pick Mage first? I also like that once you unlock Cartman as a Buddy, you can wail on him and he'll use the same lines he does if you do it in the kitchen of the Giggling Donkey after he gets his rear end kicked. "MotherFUCKER! You think this is fuckin' funny??"

Deus Ex: Mankind Divided is doing a pretty decent job on selling the whole "Prague is an oppressive shithole trying to act like it's doing the right thing" idea. While it's bright and sunny out as you walk around, the streets are narrow, the walls are tall, grey, and imposing, and a lot of the monuments have chain/prison cell-esque imagery, in varying degrees of subtlety.

"Act like its Trying to do the right thing." Augs get a special car on the metro, and the entrance and platform are sectioned of and the Aug section of the platform is filthy. They do a good job of approximating a fascist hellhole. So many little touches of oppression. I'm contemplating starting over and going full combat, and seeing if I can kill every last shithead cop.
