Uhhh no direct links to rape fanfic please.

It's not a 'rape fanfic' you dorks, it's tagged as that because it contains mention of sexual abuse and treats it as the absolutely horrific atrocity that it is, and how it plays a significant part in explaining why mages in DA often turn to demons and blood magic.

explain to me the logic of using a fanfiction as a piece of evidence.

The logic is that it collates a bunch of canon from the series and explains why Anders does what he does and why so many mages will resort to any extreme rather than endure any more Templar control.

Do you feel the same way?
I maybe don't agree with all the changes in Violet (can't skip battle animations?), but this makes up for a lot.

probably not real, I am very stupid though so i'll believe anything! And to be fair Rockstar has been terrible about keeping things secure.

It feels fake, but wow that’s a lot if effort if it’s fake. The plane clip at the end was most out of place because the city below was real-life sized, not game city sized.

Ahaha yeah, I've seen enough people try posting through it to know better. It was a dumb way to try and make my point and I'm a big girl, I can cope with being told that.

Anyway moving on, I was hopeful that the GTA6 would be a real leak but, yeah. Though I do wonder if some day someone will actually try making a true to scale game like that, so when you fly over it it really does look like that last shot. It would probably be terminally boring to play, it works in something like Project Zomboid because every house can be important in all kinds of ways, in a GTA it'd just be more streets to drive on while the characters have conversations.

Yeah it's a great film. The first part with the romantic comedy works surprisingly well and then to contrast that with the ever rising tension in the background as the birds start gathering. Plus you get that way ahead of it's time score, you really gotta give it to Hitchcock for his prowess as a director and censure him for his actions towards Hedren.

it's boring until the birds show up

You think you want this, but once you realize the drive between every mission is a half hour commute, you want to go back to the smaller, tighter cities of previous games

welp the DLC for wo long was not only short in terms of missions but all the bosses are so loving bullshit and frustrating that i might just take it off my goty list entirely

should have just done the roguelite mode instead of bothering trying to do the dlc but oh loving well suck my entire loving cock you piece of poo poo game

basically what it says on the tin. i died a few times in the beginning cause you start with no morale and no bonuses as you would imagine but once you get going its pretty fun.

the DLC was underwhelming to me even without dying over and over to the bosses (i should have just done them on ng instead of ng+, probably would have been fine)

Oh you misunderstand, I don't want it at all, for exactly the reason you say. I'm just wondering if any devs out there will ever decide it's a good idea. It would at least be interesting to see the attempt.
