​ ​Ah, chokepoints, that age-old AI exploit. Unfortunately, there's not a whole lot you can do about it. If you had them try to calculate whether it was a wise idea to go in, you'd then have to figure out what to do in the event that it isn't. Do you have them stay back? The player would just pepper them with ranged attacks. Do you have them run away to a different area? That might work in a few areas, but not in a lot of others. Do have them take out ranged weapons themselves? Similarly to the last one, it'll make sense for some enemies to have ranged weapons, but it won't for a lot of others (especially monsters). About all I can think of that would reliably work is some sort of "shove" ability, but that would probably feel very cheap and undermine the tactics of character placement to begin with. You don't want to destroy the very idea of chokepoints afterall, as it's actually a very realistic and useful tactic in real life combat situations. It's too bad that most games' combat systems just aren't really equipped to deal with them in a way that seems organic.

​On the other hand, if you stay on Windows 7, you help contribute to developers not being able to afford to switch to W10/DX12 only, as it's still much too big of a demographic to ignore. :D

​You know your cat is diabetic when he refuses to eat meat - chicken, tuna, salmon, doesn't matter - and will only eat that dried pure carb crap... What a stupid cat I have.

​​ ​Hey, I'm an equal opportunity complainer: I'm pretty contemptuous of Bethesda games as well.

speaking of intelligent communication, I fixed these for you,

Yep. Don't expect it to let up much at this rate, either.

Three more weeks of funding approved as another stopgap: Dems got CHIP (Children's Health Insurance Program) re-approved for six more years in exchange for it. I think that's a pretty decent deal for both parties, all things considered. Neither Dems or Republicans really want to be labeled as denying healthcare to children, I would think.

No, I think the darkest timeline was the Patriots winning 4 Super Bowls. We're way past the darkest timeline at this point...and things look like they're going to get worse before they get better.

Total War games are disappointing and shallow on a whole 'nother level, though, sadly. Europa Universalis I really liked at first, but I started getting very frustrated with the devs as they just kept adding more and more unneeded features on top of the game and it all started becoming a jumbled up mess. I wonder if they've stopped releasing expansion yet. As for Civ 6...if they're anything like the real world custom maps from Civ 5, they are probably wonky as heck and don't make for an actual good campaign.

*sigh* go eagles

Unfortunately, that's gonna be a no for me. The last one was absolutely dreadful, and Hollywood has really managed to do what should theoretically be impossible: make dinosaurs completely and utterly passe and boring. Bah, humbug. I watched Kiki's Delivery Service. I like good coming-of-age stories, and this one was fairly nice. It went a little too far on the anime "inexplicably weird timing with dialogue and way, way too long fits of laughter" scale for me, but it was more fun than Only Yesterday was...but less thought-provoking.

I considered it, but upon reflection, it seems like Civ games have gotten worse with every new iteration as of the last few, and as far as I'm aware, there's still no "world scenario"-type game that at least makes an attempt at a real world map, which is what I actually want instead of the random arcadey bullcrap* that the Civ games tend to be, so I had to decline. *There's so little satisfaction in playing in and with randomly generated/placed landforms and civilizations if you ask me, but that's me...

teams sure like to blow it against the patriots when up by more than a possession in the fourth.

Greater context is never a bad thing, but I don't see his explanation as really adding up. A seemingly caveats-free opportunity to solve one of the problems that a whole lot of people are apparently upset about is given to you, and you reject it out of hand. Does he really think the shutdown is going to end within 24 hours? If that ends up being the case, O.K., fair enough...if not...just another thing the Republicans are going to hold over the Dems to try to force their way, just like CHIP when the Dems were all for re-approving it without any questions asked to begin with six bloody months ago when it originally expired.

​As the doctor said, he has the best genes, and could live to 200 if he really wanted to. ​ ​

​Weirdly, that Vampyr game is made by Dontnod, the Life Is Strange dev. Of course, their first game was Remember Me before that, which mildly flopped, so I guess they're trying to give it another shot. I remain mildly interested...

​ ​(e): also, condolences, LadyCrimson, especially seeing as your mom was the person in your family you had the best relationship with (IIRC).

I'd describe it as depressing. I'm having trouble describing exactly why, though. I guess it boils down to time and growing up. So many opportunities in life lost because of stupid decisions by either yourself or your parents, that devilish whimsy and selfishness that children have being inexorably snuffed out because of time's ever-accelerating course and being forced to grow up in some manner to survive, and being stuck in so many ways with your oh-so-random lot in life. The ending may have been optimistic and hopeful on the surface, but it really just reeked of the deeper, more desperate fight with life that we all undergo and try to win in a variety of ways. I didn't really mind the contemplative bits of the adult segments, but I guess I just didn't find the ongoing story of Taeko to be very compelling. Yes, I did listen to the English dub. I tried a little of the Japanese dub, but as usual, it wasn't for me.

It didn't help that all that stuff was so laughably shallow that it makes you wonder why they bothered in the first place.

Only Yesterday (1991). It was really depressing. I liked the as-a-child segments way more than the as-an-adult segments.

No, I have not. I'm not much of a moviegoer to begin with, and I'm way too intolerant of things I don't like which further suppresses my desire to watch new movies.
