So totalbiscuit died just now I guess. I didn't love his casting or youtube videos but he seemed like a nice guy and has done a lot for the games/SC community. I didn't see a thread about it so figured I'd mention it in here.

Mammoth Hydra in Diablo 3 is called Le Hydra Monstruese which is now what I always say in my own mind.

Remember the golden rule of irony
Irony isn't when you tell someone to get cancer and you die of cancer!
Irony is when you tell someone to get cancer and you die from a falling iron.

actually irony is when someone tells you "i hope you die of cancer" and then you get cancer but survive and upon exiting the hopsital for the final time a falling iron kills you

Shaped like a friend

Thunder claps as the androids climb the tallest building on the city outskirts. One holds up the gear of enlightenment and speaks.

"Detroit: Become Human!"

Mechanical whirs fill the air as the sleeping beast awakens to fulfill it's dark prophecy.

Well after almost 5 hours of Detroit

- it's really, insanely gorgeous
- actually fun to play though most early stuff is railroady
- legit delivers on branching storyline promises, the amount of variation already is pretty insane, long chapters i've done had several massive paths through them so the average playthrough is going to see like about 1/4 of the content it seems
- writing is hit or miss, the Kara storyline starts pretty eyerolly but becomes fantastic, the parts where you play as Lance Henriksen's butler turned radical revolutionary are good and the story where you play as Clancy Brown's detective bro are great, in large part because Clancy does a very good job and is in pretty much every scene so far, he's not cameo-ing it up he's got more screentime than Kara up to the point I'm at, which I'm guessing is at most about 1/3 through the game unless things ramp up a lot quicker soon
- it's really not as hammy about the race/android parallels. funnily enough it would be more accurate to draw parallels between the androids and autistic people (no, seriously)

so far it's a lot better than his others and i'm having a blast, already wanting to do a second playthrough to do things different (like make Clancy my friend)

the new ff14 raid has an extremely funny and original mechanic that people are very bad at. the boss reduces you down to a random single digit of HP, and in front of him are 4 buttons that add 1, 2, 3, or 4 HP to your total when you stand on it. and at multiple times through the fight the boss will say "okay make your HP divisible by 3" or "make your HP a prime number", and you can watch how many of the 23 other players get this second grade math question wrong

Lol. How is the new patch, I probably won't resub until the next one but curious anyways.

Mergos Wet Nurse is a genderless and sexless great one. Get your lore straight.

But obviously I'm talking about enemies/characters that are specifically designed with titillation in mind. Like the completely random nurse succubus demons in one of the Castlevanias with meticulously animated pixel breast jiggle.

I'm to understand that the Wet Nurse is not considered a Great One, while Mergo is.

It’s good. New dungeon was good, 24 man raid is fun, new trial was neat, and the story was good. Only complaint is that they didn’t add in new side content right off the bat and they have a 3.4/3.5 patch to add in other content but whatever.

Designers are drawn to highlight the inherent sex appeal of the arachnid. Who can truly say they've never looked at a spider and felt a little twinge in their nethers, perhaps while admiring their long legs, or come-hither eyes, or functional and fashionable spinnerets. The only improvement that could be made over God's eight-legged sexpot is a pair of massive breasts, an upgrade humanity has only been able to provide in the realm of fiction ... for now.

Full term babies depicted as upright in womb instead of head down
No idea that afterbirth exists or its danger to the mother
Stuff like that. Also im pretty sure a homeless lady can give birth in an american hospital and not have to give the baby for adoption like he insists but idk
