I mean, if you're a successful actress and you go out of the house in a skirt and without underwear, knowing that paparazzi are just waiting for opportunities like this and that it has happened many times before, then there's really nobody you can blame for it but yourself.
Anyone here remember One Must Fall 2097? God, I loved that game.

...yyyyeah, good advice. I tried really hard to like it and just couldn't.

But really, I still spontaneously hum the OMF2097 music sometimes, that's not bad for a 2D fighting game I last played when I was eight or so.

Except for the times where they are really good. The fascinating thing I started seeing were people making characters and bots for Salty Bet. Whole lotta different programming philosophies mixed where an elegantly crafted meltyblood reskin win by dancing around a screen of projectiles and finding perfect openings and a simple bot could just do a point of chip damage and float off screen. Victory was always unpredictable. Best cockfighting experience a person could morally participate in.

The weird fanon, yes. And if we're talking Saltybet still, then this is still the match I recall if I want to tell people about the madness that is, that. Dio Brando VS Killer Whale.

Whale was considered unbeatable if memory serves, because of a one hit KO. And, well.

I never looked into anything in much detail. The first guy running VGCW stepped away for job/life reasons I believe. Someone else stepped up but also stopped for similar reasons after a few years I think. And actually there was another league, EDBW, that also ran for a few years before ending. Looking at the youtube channel the last VGCW episode was in 2017.

The audience left pretty dramatically when the original VGCW showrunner stopped doing it so it could have just been a time investment/return thing, even just in terms of community. VGCW had a lot of work put into its writing, crafting the plot scenes, and editing.

it also didn't help that they kept looking forward to new games in the series for better functionality (especially PC versions) and not only did the later games not work as well but they completely removed the basic systems that the vgcw shows relied upon

Making a saltybet betting bot is a really fun programming exercise. Salty puts little effort into protecting against that sort of thing since it's all made up money.

The creator's writing style is uniquely stilted in that way that could just as easily be "English as a second language" or "perfectly fluent English, but written by someone whose mind does not operate in precisely the same way as yours" and honestly that just makes me more intrigued.

MY OPINION IS SEERS OF THE THRONE PROPAGANDA IGNORE MY GNOSIS-IMPAIRED RAMBLINGS
Internet is crapping out but in the few minutes i've managed to get of this i've seen a close up of what appears to be a demonic crotch and a foot long dong asking me to make a "DOOMSDAY CLICK" while the options "STRENGHT, DEXTERITY, CHARISMA, BODYBUILDING" are displayed, a man riding a gigantic chicken into battle, what appears to be the grimdark empire from that Riddick movie, a skeleton in a dress with the dress looking like a cross between an MS paint nightmare and a technicolor rave, and what appears to be a horde of revolutionary war dressed Ork's from Warhammer 40k about to light some stuff up with some dakka.

If it ain't satire then the person has a few marbles loose.


Edit: And yes, it's spelled "STRENGHT". That wasn't a typo. At least, not on my part. :v:

How does STRENGHT differ from BODYBUILDING?

Angry Diplomat
Nov 7, 2009

Winner of the TSR Memorial Award for Excellence In Grogging
STRENGHT gives +1HP per level and allows you to use bigger armour, melee weapons, and machine guns. More critically, it qualifies you for useful skills such as Bodybuilding, Grenadier, and Melee Brutality. Bodybuilding affects how badly your equipment weight slows you down, and raises your HP by a percentage of total, seemingly to a much greater extent than a few points of STRENGHT.

So STRENGHT is super important primarily because it allows you to be a bodybuilding melee grenadier. I think I've seen items that require like 60 strength to wield, too, which is basically unheard-of by Mount & Blade standards.

(I made a dude with 15 Melee Brutality and was atomizing people for 200+ damage per hit using a sledgehammer)

I haven't seen anything overtly, actively skeevy yet, but there are a couple of mentions of rape here and there (the "orc slave" background options alludes to you fending off prison rapists, which is Yikes). So, yeah, it certainly shuffles towards that particular kind of edginess from time to time.

You see that in a lot of M&B mods for some reason; Prophesy of Pendor and Viking Conquest are both excellent mods in many other respects, but fall prey to the same weirdly common "human misery = gritty and immersive = good writing, and therefore shoehorning in references to bandits being rapists is good actually" fallacy. It's disappointing.

Outside of that, though, PARADIGM WORLDS is... I mean. I'm intrigued? I've played for several hours now, still have no clue what the gently caress is going on, and am going to go back for another look tonight, so it must be doing something right. The author is not kidding when he describes it as "psychedelic" though.

Ironically, the Beautiful Female model is actually loving terrifying, because it's just a skinnier female model wired up to the same animation skeleton, so whenever it moves around too much it turns its arms into a horrifying flesh pretzel. I burst out laughing the first time I saw it.

e: oh yeah I forgot to mention: zombie heads are equipment. You can just loot a zombie's head and wear it and then you have a gross zombie head with a hole in it. You, too, can be a Beautiful Female flesh pretzel with a broken ruin of a head and a machine gun that shoots acid bullets

Most modern media don't acknowledge male-on-male prison rape at all except to play it for humor or (if they're particularly awful) to treat it as a "he had it coming" deserved extra punishment for breaking the law, so I guess I'm not... entirely against seeing that kind of thing in a game? So long as it's not obviously there as some kind of misogynistic or titillating thing, then acknowledging that rape is a bad thing that happens in brutal places isn't intrinsically bad.

Although in this mod about second generation space pirate vampire skeletons, it might not really get the tact it deserves.
