i too did the three dance sally when trying to get a license in texas transfer because they wanted birth certificate, social security card, a copy of my old license (no photocopies) and on the last visit when they finally did the deed, the guy who did it was pissed about it and pissed at me and pissed at the lady who put me in line because she was able to look up info in the last state i lived in to make the process smoother so that it wouldn't become a four dance sally. basically the guy was pissed that he had to do work. he actually knocked a bunch of poo poo on his desk over. gently caress the dmv

nothing will beat the time i went out on a date and got called a hot wing while at buffalo wild wings, though. i cant believe i let that guy get away, and married a goon instead.

in other words, pillars of eternity is cool, and i have a cat friend in it. i killed its witch owner and took it cause it was really skinny and i felt bad for it. what other kinds of pet friends can i get?

I totally got the undead cat too and replaced the giant miniature space pig with it because I became bored with the pig's antics.

wow, pet twins, we have the same deal, girl cat who plays fetch and a boy cat who just lays around all day looking all smug. in addition, a male dog who acts like a cat and doesn't play with toys. it's weird.

and as far as i know, the pets don't do anything except follow you around. i was hoping the cat would play with other cats in defiance bay, but it doesn't :(

Good story taint reaper, I could smell the sweat on fat Mario, very vivid.

I'll go into the small retro shops to look at their collections and reminisce about old games but since I don't collect, there isn't much to buy there. A one near me even has some Atari/2600 stuff at a not-terrible price, it's neat to thumb through. The clientele is grodier than the 30 year old games however.

EBgames on the other hand is a loving wasteland. They don't carry much of anything useful new or old on the average day and just bank on selling out new releases in the loving age of Amazon and digital distribution.

Yes, gently caress them. I just got through the lighthouse and it was unfun poo poo. I feel like there has to be some trick to killing them quicker than just going after the summoners, because that is already a pain.

there was a thread during stardrive 1's release, it's in archives. i remember it getting pretty vitriolic when people realized the game was hot garbage. if he actually managed to get done in 2 what he set out to do in 1, it could be good.

CJacobs posted:

it hit the right notes of having absolutely no tonal consistency like MGS usually does.

The story behind that is that Kojima has what could best be called story-scoping problems. He talked about it some after 2 and a lot more since. He'll have one idea and get really into it but then read something and get really into that or watch some movie and get inspired to write some jokes and he'll include them all, trying to build a cohesive game the whole time. It's how he ends up with this somewhat schizo experience that bounces inbetween the horrors of war and magic bee men and otaku who build mechs but also gently caress their moms.

It works well in a Catch 22 sort of way but I agree with whoever said 1 and 3 struck the best balance in tone while keeping the gameplay at the forefront. 2 and 4 sidelined the gameplay too often and occasionally ran off the rails.

I gave them and the original PC games some latitude on that. I'd rather history/physics be slightly bent or ignored from time to time in favor of entertaining narrative and gameplay instead of the other way around. Like yeah, it was actually 200 years later, there's no way all these old houses all over the place wouldn't already be picked clean by looters and that giant dinosaur wouldn't still be anywhere near actually together and most of those buildings in DC would be dust considering it got nuked to hell and didn't have the benefit of some impossible Randian superman with crazy technology defending it all.

But it's a game and it's cool and fun, so who cares

yeah. i never felt like skyrim needed them nearly as much as oblivion did, so hopefully that's true of ES6 too, because there is no way i'm paying any amount of money for something like house map markers or UI updates.

while i think piracy is lovely for employed people to do, i would give exactly no shits about someone ripping off the ideas of simple paid mods and releasing them for free. i might even be inclined to do it myself if a mod was useful enough and the guy who wrote the first one was price-gouging. i can't explain exactly why this is.

SS has a more fun style of balance: Don't gently caress up, wait for the other guy to gently caress up. SF2 is more about combos and special moves, SS is about chopping the other guy in the face.

When I was a kid, Generations and Voyager were the only Star Treks I knew of, so in my mind the franchise was hot steaming garbage.

DS9 was around. It's the best one.

But it also had some lovely episodes too like when Captain Sisko was a sci-fi writer in the 50's because the bad guys wanted him to think that, or something.
