As one of the biggest and earliest supporters of Episode 2 you will be granted the largest lot deed in the land (Castle), this is the Unity stock asset Castle and is free on the Unity asset store to be used in any video. Let that set in that you may see this $8000 asset you paid for show up in some other fantasy RPG. the title Lord (or Lady) of the Isle, a tour of the Portalarium Offices, and dinner with the game leaders including Lord British himself! Only 24 of these unique bundles will be sold! Complete List of Rewards: UPDATED: Lord of the Isle Place Anywhere Castle Lot Deed: Tax Free Forever (when placed in a POT) and Tax Free for 1 Year (when placed outside of a POT). Placeable on water as well as land! you still have to buy the land in real world money to place the castle on. Title: Lord of the Isle or Lady of the Isle NEW: Unique Lord of the Isle Home (to be revealed later) UPDATED: PLUS Choice of any 1 House currently available in the store this is also a free unity asset store item.

One real silver ring crafted personally by Lord British: Numbered 17 - 24 Richard Garriot does not know how to craft this stuff that I am aware of.

These are like the dorks at the ren fair who are super tryhard roleplaying and not just drunk and loving wenches in the outhouse. plus you got lord british over here flanked by two chicks, he's like the dude who invites his virgin male friends on dates with his woman just to lord over them.

Never forget that Richard Garriot, the real dude not his Lord British persona, wrote a moral mysticism text about “Ethical Hedonism” that tied into the virtues as laid out in his videogames/life’s work, and he consistently violates each aspect of it Edit: He’s not just flubbing the ethics he’s not even doing good at hedonism I mean look at the above picture Capntastic fucked around with this message at 16:12 on Jul 10, 2019 |

Money just gives you the freedom to be whom you want to be... which, in some cases, is an rear end in a top hat.

DancingShade posted:I know nothing about Notch other than "Minecraft" and "Hollywood Mansion" but I like him already. The funny thing about notch is he was already semi-well-known as a psychopath on some corners of the internet because he worked on wyrm online for awhile and was the perfect example of a wacko who works for a niche game and lets the power go to his head. I think a goon posted chat logs a couple years ago of notch going on a power trip because the guy had criticized the game's bugginess on the forums. Even during the minecraft years, he did things like compare server owners to drug dealers, but he was so out of the game at that point that there was a very "if only the czar knew!" vibe where one of his psychopath deputies was blamed for everything. So when he emerged at an alt-right wacko a couple years ago it was not even remotely surprising, but the minecraft CM was still like "I looked up to him, how did it come to this?!" as though there were no red flags prior to that point.

He is an alt-right gamergate guy, who one time on his Twitter went on a rant about how racism against white people is a real thing and that it's okay to have white pride. Another standout moment to me is when Notch went on a rant about how all women are sluts that only wanted his money. He has openly admitted that he is alone and has zero trust of any women because he is scared they will steal everything right from under him. The dude needs serious help.

Givin posted:Hot take. It's a bit old, but I gotta say this is really wrong. Games like Ultima 7 were literally the foundation that open world games like Skyrim were made on. Like, it's hard to describe just how amazing that game was back in the day. At times it seemed more like a world sim given how much effort was put into it. Every NPC had a schedule, a job, a house, and a set of personality traits in an era when that sort of thing was given cursory attention at best. The sheer amount of poo poo to do that had nothing to do with the main game was incredible too. We're talking, you could rob a bank and get away from the guards on a horse drawn cart like some sort of hokey fantasy Ocean's Eleven robber, join a cult and gamble away your character's savings, bake bread (or if you're a psychopath bake it out of blood instead of using milk  ), become a miner and then get eaten by a dragon when you assume that all caves had blackrock ore, etc, etc. In a lot of ways gaming still hasn't caught up to the insane level of detail and potential for loving around it had. Then Serpent Isle came along and made the game much more linear and less sandboxy.  Even Skyrim doesn't really have much detail as 7 did in many areas. One of the craziest things I noticed when going back to play it was when I realized that the NPC's not only had fully fleshed out jobs and life schedules but also altered the world accordingly to their job and personality type. IE: A cook in a tavern will make food using the crafting system which then is handed to a waitress NPC that takes it out for NPC's to eat. And you can do all sorts of crazy bullshit to gently caress with this, up to and including poisoning the food with the right items. Not even Skyrim bothers to simulate all that stuff in the world itself. Now, how Garriot went from games like that to a Unity store asset flip is a mind boggler. But he had some genuine talent back in the day. Archonex fucked around with this message at 18:14 on Jul 11, 2019 |
