I finally played Disco Elysium a couple of months ago and can confirm that it is excellent, probably would have been my game of last year if I’d played it then.

Disco elysium is one of the funniest, saddest and most beautiful games I've ever played. I loved it. Everyone should play it.

I quite like terrible combat systems and would rather have them than more dialogue. I dunno, I never liked CYOA books either. About the most dialogue heavy I can tolerate is something like a modern fallout. I like games with story I just don't like games that revolve around talking to people. I really liked Hollow Knight mostly because of the art and plot even though I am terrible at the actual fighting part. I dunno, stories are good and can add a lot to a game but if the gameplay revolves around talking to people I don't enjoy it.

It helps that disco elysiums writing and story is unlike anything you’ve played before. I wouldn’t play, say, original sin 2 if it was just a story with no combat. That’d be awful. Disco elysium transcends the medium and I’m pretty confident it’s like no other piece of fiction you’ve experienced.

I'm with Owl. As much as I want to love RPGs like that, my attention span just isn't that good. It's why I love Dark Souls so much. All the RPG with none of the waiting around.

Disco elysium is less a RPG and more a sprawling gently caress up simulation where you have at best a wildly tangential relationship with what you're doing and the decisions you make. It's the RPG that really leans into rolling a one if you gently caress up. I think it was around the time I opted to make a smooth exit from a conversation about owing money and failed the roll and ended up diving backwards flipping the double bird and knocking myself out on the little old lady's wheelchair that I realised it was the best game ever written. Plus it's all written vertically to simulate twitter so it's good for your attention destroyed brains.

Rashford has just comprehensively dunked on literally every tory MP in the last 24 hours. Nicky Morgan reminding the country why she was so loving terrible at being on tele and re-inforcing the 'we voted against it to spite Labour' has massively backfired again. The papers printing a list of every MP that voted against helping starving children. This government makes policy by focus group so I imagine the free meals extension will get announced today.

I don't see how the government can look on poo poo like this as anything but a complete PR disaster: This is a nice gesture but councils don't have any money to fund the needs of even their existing childrens services. It's also effectively what the government do over and over again deliberately - order councils to address something but don't give them any extra funding so the money simply has to be removed from another area that people are paying less attention to.

Tory voters approve of starving children though. If anything they will want more beatings for the children as well and they will be extra pissed off that Marcus is a wealthy, black 22 year old lol crispix fucked around with this message at 09:16 on Oct 23, 2020 |

Doctor_Fruitbat posted:So, question, if I wanted to see my parents sometime this year, and they're currently in tier 1 but I'm getting punted into tier 3, but I've been a good boy who has masked up everywhere and wiped down his shopping and generally not mixed with people and all that jazz, is there anything actually stopping me from getting a train to go see them within the rules or guidelines or whatever the gently caress they're classed as? I don’t think anyone replied to this - my understanding is that travel in/out of tier 3 is ‘advised against’ but not illegal. Though you may be given a hard time at the train stations.

Why do the British media seem pro trump at the moment? I watched some poo poo on ITV yesterday where they mostly interviewed pro trump people and just let the lies go unquestioned. The voice over even said multiple times about how trump is good for the economy. I also just watched a bit on the BBC about how trump was good at the debate and they VERY selectively showed clips of him and didn't mention the racism or rambling lies. They then interviewed a republican who did the normal lies about how lockdown bad, trump good, oil good etc etc but didn't have anyone pro-biden on. This isn't even pretending to be impartial

Literally all I think of this: It's in banks which are nominally headquartered there. AFAIK the main reason they chose the Caymans instead of like... greenlad... is that it means that when your company HQ is in the caymans you have to go to the caymans for board meetings.

I think Biden has said they will not do any trades with us if we break the GFA. Trump has not so they probably care more about Trump.

There's no infrastructure, the companies are actually entirely run from overseas.

Because Boris said he will give them a good Brexit deal next year if he wins. Sky is Murdoch owned, so will champion all right wing people around the world no matter what. ITV News is a pared down lightweight version of itsself from decades ago, they use whatever footage they can get and will run it. More interested in cheaper emotional stories like kids dying so they can keep bums on seats before Emmerdale starts. BBC don't criticize anything right wing much now to prevent the howls of bias from the right and the threats of defunding.
