For a moment, I just read "friends' kids" as "friend kids" and I spent a very long moment thinking of the best way to make a joke about toilet bowl moonshine.

I went to state. I basically just ignore their athletics. Like I check the score but I cant bear to watch. No matter how well they play in the game, at the end they always find a way to lose. One time we beat Duke though. My friend who went to Duke was a huge college sports fan (how can you not be when you go to Duke), I called him and razzed him about State beating Duke. He hung up on me and refused to talk to me for like two weeks.

That or become radicalized and be so rabidly pro-state that no matter what you will always be there and deny all reality that things might go poorly. I have met way too many of those state fans. I have a bunch of friends who went to state and they are all mostly like you. Check scores every now and then but don't expect miracles. Any time someone beats Duke is a good time.

Pmush are you still doing video game stories? My fav game is called Crimefighter, it's a German DOS game that a middle school friend showed me where you try to be the baddest gang leader. Like most things I like, I'm not sure whether it's genuinely my favourite game or if I arbitrarily decided it was a long time ago and can't tell the difference. I used to play with my friend competitively and I developed an extremely efficient strategy of bribing the chief of police and cracking the safes of two adjacent banks repeatedly to accrue lots of cash in the early game. My other fav games are harvest moon mm, portal 2, civ v and minecraft

CapitalistPig posted:Ok i need help with a 1 shot modern game i am running in a couple weeks, the story i have so far (and please suspend disbelief i understand its not an accurate representation of how it would work irl) is that a group of people wake up on a space station , in orbit around earth and the last thing they remember is just being in their normal lives on earth and seeing a big flash in the sky. One of them is an astronaut / mechanical engineer and pilots them back to earth because the station begins to go critical to find that there is no one else left but them and everything on the planet is covered in a greasy pink film. There are huge man sized bug creatures (think thri keen from dnd) everywhere trying to kill them and they hole up in an old government underground facility under Washington DC and slowly unravel the mystery of what happened. The part i need help with is , well, what happened? I can't think of anything good. I figured it out, thanks for the suggestions but I think I am going to make it that Alien beings have made Earth their next location for the universes favorite new Game Show "Hey! That's My Planet!" Wherein a planets inhabitants are abducted en masse and held in suspension and the fate of their world is left in the hands of four of the primitive species that inhabit it! They must face off against the winners of last season The Insectoid Ga'Lex! This of course is only done to primitive planets, wouldn't want this happening to any civilized planets of course. So instead of lots of bug guys it will be a team of four that is hunting them down and i'm moving it from Washington DC to New York.

To claim that it isn't a real <whatever> is to be a huge snob. This isn't what I'm talking about. It has nothing to do with genre. Like great artists tend to go into types. Guys who are just about ideas at the core of their work, and people obsessed with the form of media they are working on and innovating it and reinventing it(this is where I see walking sim developers are fitting in) Of course there is also overlap and crossover, and the idea guys are still going to be good at form, it's just not their focus. But like form is what the media is. I think something can fail as a movie (but this doesn't preclude it from being a movie or even art), but the idea in it succeeds or works somehow. So it's still not a good movie, but the idea part of it works and it speaks to you.

I think I get what pbcapsnooze is saying. I once ran a mafia game (a vulgar form of art) where I intended to do something very difficult and had I been successful in achieving my goals it would have been a very meaningful and powerful experience for the town, very awareness-expanding. But mostly because of my own failures I did not achieve my goals. And yet, aside from the unpleasant reveal post-game when the full setup was displayed, up to then all the players had a very good time playing it and had really intense conversations and negotiations (classic mafia stuff). So I consider the game a kind of success, even though I didn't achieve my goals, and even though many of the players after the game were (not unreasonably) sore about it. I think.

I just want to take this time to post about my good friend Jimson. Jimson is a man, who, when asked, would gladly smear peanut butter allllllll over a slice of bread, and then on another slice slowly and seductively spread jelly. And why is he doing this, because you, his friend, are on his doorstep, hungry and in need. Does Jimson ask for any thanks? gently caress no. He just wishes you a happy merry day and keeps on spreading that jelly. Jimson is a great man.

I'm still proud of Zodiac Mafia. That game was a shitshow masterstroke. Highlight of the thread though, was someone getting dunked because their real claim contradicted my fakeclaim.  What happened was that my zodiac, Sagittarius, happened to be 'opposite' a 1-shot Dayvig.... so I claimed 1-shot Nightvig, with the flavor reason of shooting an arrow at someone. Not only did they buy it, I essentially became Confirmed Town, and "opposite sides have opposite/mirrored rolls" got somebody killed because their claim didn't match the opposites theme.

there's very little correlation between how well or poorly I've been playing and whether or not I get lynched.
