If I played what my friends recommended, I'd be playing The Division, MOBAs, Skylanders/Disney Infinity...



Can't speak for The Division, but MOBAs can be fun casually with friends who aren't angry stereotypical MOBA players, and skylanders is definitely a fun mindless romp if you can get the stuff for cheap and have a friend to play co-op with

I might get to play this board game in a few weeks because a friend was all "I'm gonna buy this for you" even though I told them they didn't have to :D


I'm sorry if it sounds like I'm bragging, I'm not trying to and if it sounds that way I'll quiet up about it, I'm just simultaneously disappointed because I feel like I somehow coerced them into saying they'd buy me a board game as a gift because they know I'm poor and have no source of income and also excited at the prospect of finally getting to play Neuroshima Hex, a board game that looks like a lot of fun.

I recently discovered that House of the Dead 4 got a PS3 port, sadly it's pretty worthless without being able to use a lightgun with it.

How do they handle the shaking mechanic, do they just have you press/mash a button?

Also, it really fuckin bugs me we never got a house of the dead that finished off the major arcana deck. They were so close, they only had like 3 left!!

My favorite thing is how they mention missteps with previous projects, which is both a diss on Wayforward's creepy tendencies and infuriating to people who raged out when Double Dragon Neon and other games the Yacht Club team worked on were criticized for some sexist elements. Whoops, turns out they agreed with Anita Sarkeesian and you got mad over nothing!

No offense but I feel like you may be extrapolating and projecting a bit

I don't think anyone should support a game that promotes themselves by including a horrible human being in them. It's sort of hard to overlook that.

:shrug: We had this discussion earlier in the thread I think (not you and I specifically, we in general) and the consensus seemed to be "if you don't feel comfortable supporting something due to someone you don't like being involved in it, then that is fine, and it is also ok to support something you like in spite of the actions of someone involved in that something."

He wouldn't have died if he had gone across the street instead and tried to sneak past that way.


Vampire Rain is all about stealth with you facing enemies that are way way stronger than you and it is foolhardy to try to take one on, especially by sneaking up right behind it and expecting a headshot to take it out

I haven't played it, but from a vid I saw in defense of it, it CAN be used to kill enemies but you have to set yourself up in a position to have the advantage against them because otherwise they will maul you. You're mostly intended to use it as a form of distraction iirc.

My cat of 14 years died today. I'm afraid I will always associate this amazing Zelda game with the death of my cat.

plz dont pull out posted:

Putting my dog down next week. Fraid this gives me only one option to play at her dog funeral.

I want you both to remember that mourning and grief are both completely 110% normal and that it is ok to be sad, and if you feel like crying, that is okay, and if you feel like venting, that is okay too. Bottling up your emotions isn't healthy. If your way of coping involves staying distant for a while, then that's fine, but I don't want either of you to feel like you're not allowed to be sad because they were "just animals" or something like that.

I wish you both the best. I hope you are both able to find calm and relief soon, and please know that both of your animals love you greatly and they will always be thankful for their time they got to spend with you.

All of my cats at this time are indoor cats and I'm never gonna let them be outdoor cats.

There are things you can't unsee in life. Witnessing several of your own cats die solely because they existed outside at the wrong time or the wrong place is one of them. Seeing an entire family of cats die in horrifying ways that wouldn't have happened had they been indoor cats. Coming home from Ryan's on a stormy night to find my neighbor had done us a favor and shot that weird looking possum that was on our front porch eating our cat's dry food, the weird white fuzzy possum that looked like a cat. Hearing a kitten crying while inside of the water main opening beneath the trailer we lived in, then hearing him suddenly quiet up just as my father finally manages to fish him out, showing that he had a snake bite. Waiting for the bus along with my cousin, seeing one of our kittens playing out in the road. I ask, "Hey, should I get him out of the road?" "Nah, he's fine," she says. I'm 3 or 4 and I trust what she says since she's 14 or so. Then a car comes along and the kitten runs head first into the car's tire, scrambling his brains. I watch him seize out and die. I could have prevented it.


Even knowing all of that, my mom continued to let cats be outdoor animals, resulting in one winter night over a decade later when my stepdad and I had to go out into the woods with a ladder because we could hear our cat crying in the cold because he had gotten stuck in a tree branch.




Never again. Indoor cats only. We give them enough things to play with. They'll live without the outdoors. Literally.
