  1. Right, so... I'm personally not a Pathfinder veteran, but with regards to the two artstyle choices given, my personal gripe is that I am honestly not seeing any difference between them. I feel like I'm not sure which quality I should be looking at to say one is more fitting than the other for an iso-RPG. Both seem, at least to this ignorant pleb's eyes, pretty much the same.
  2. But you must let the hate flow through you, it gives you power (and it has 100% dental) They give you cookies *and* they care for your teeth? Sounds too good to be true.
  3. With regards to the matter of depression, I too suffer from depression (comes and goes in my case) and one thing that is worth pointing out is that people shouldn't underestimate how sensitive the state makes one to comments that may be interpreted in the least bit as mean-spirited, suicide-encouraging, and so on. It comes to a point where even the smallest remarks that may seem ambivalent or direct fills one with insecurities, self-doubting, fear of rejection and being despised, paranoia and so on. Sure, one won't kill themselves for being told by another to do so, but it can add up to a growing sense of suffering where that seems like the only reasonable thing to do. It's a horrible state to be in. I'll also mention that in such situations it's best to avoid the internet altogether, because there'll always be that one person who'll post a cruel/cynical reply and tell you to "grow some skin". But we all know how hard it is to do just that (avoiding the internet, I mean), and sometimes you're also just looking for excuses to carry on feeling miserable. Best advice I can give about it is to not take things too seriously. Many comments are just spoken in passing, some even trying to cheer you up by injecting some humour and levity even through the darkest of means... It's crucial to understand not everyone thinks everything they say and write to that degree, they just say things without giving them much of a second thought. Best to try and let it slip by you, it takes an effort but you'll feel better in the end.
  4. Ordered me some new albums today! Coil - The Ape of Naples Kate Bush - 50 Words for Snow The Tear Garden - Tired Eyes Slowly Burning Magma - Udu Wudu
  5. So far, went on a walk with my mum (who's leaving tonight for a trip to the US for two weeks), got back to find my kitchen completely flooded due to a hole on my thermotank. :excl:
  6. Of course this is why Hitch**** is censored in this forum. All hail Satan and so on.
  7. In my experience, chasing a girl too enthusiastically can lead to alienating her somewhat. If she doesn't want to have anything to do with you, best to resist the urge and look elsewhere, there'll always be many other girls out there after all. I tend to not try twice nowadays after a first few bad experiences. :D
  8. Shot some new episodes for my (our, since we're a team of five) YouTube channel. You guys are welcome to see it here if you like grilled recipes and understand Spanish! https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMb_jTYA_oFqJVJneNUH0Zg
  9. This would have been a top 5 James Bond theme had it not been rejected by the studio. Superb all the same.
  10. I never got that message. Have you already gotten the quest to speak with Galvino though? If you haven't done so already, speak with Renengild and her son. They could be the trigger you need.
  11. Hmm... I don't remember there being a locked door on that side, but then again, I don't think I ever went in through the sewers. Is the door missing a key, or just locked and requiring too high a mechanics skill number to open? Also, there is another way to the upper floors from outside Raedric's Hold. Search the northwest portion of the exterior map and you'll see it.
  12. Nah. I'm not as down as some others are on the Justice League films nor am I a fan of the MCU (I think Whedon's first Avengers film is actually worse than the Snyder films), but they are nevertheless problematic at best. Though they are interesting to some degree, and I appreciate that Snyder seems to at least be trying to add his own style and vision into a new superhero saga, the films are frequently messy, sometimes downright incomprehensible, and altogether extremely kitschy. Motivations are frequently all over the shop, and the writing at best feels improvised on the spot. It's a shame because I feel they tend to show more promise and potential than the MCU films usually do, but they fall way short of it.
  13. Well, it's partly that... Partly also the matter of nudity and so on. But yeah, since I'm new here I am not sure where the copyright rules end.
  14. Since we're on the subject of Terry Gilliam and Brazil, I'll also go ahead and make a weird rec in case it interests you guys. If you liked the overall tone and style of Brazil, and enjoy surrealism and the absurd in general, I'd also very eagerly recommend a Polish film called The Hour-Glass Sanatorium, directed by Wojciech Jerzy Has. It's surprising to see just how acutely this film seems to predict Gilliam's style, a whole decade earlier than the likes of Brazil or The Adventures of Baron Munchausen (also superb in case you haven't seen it yet). A copy of it can be found on YouTube though I'm not sure I'm allowed to post it here, so here's a fragment instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_dro2RL0lU
  15. Looks better than the other Justice League films so far, at least. I'm not expecting a whole lot but it could be enjoyable nevertheless.
