Discretion is the better part of...uh, game design, I guess.

Agreed with Humanoid: size (and reliability) > than outright speed. Samsung Pros are not really worth the extra cash, while a better argument could be made for the Samsung EVOs...particularly if you get them at a sale price. In reality, though, there's a lot of good options...and a few bad ones with controversies: simply try to avoid the latter category while making the best business decision for the former. Also, fortunately, we've moved away from a lot of the crappier controllers like SandForce over the past few years, so things, in that regard, look better than ever.

Hey, it's symbiosis: you provide it a home and opportunity for food, it provides you the ability to satisfy your maternal instincts. I'm currently host to one my siblings and their family because a crazy person has been stalking and intimidating them over the past few weeks. It's currently a madhouse.

Yeah, I actually just finished Owlboy. The charm and atmosphere of Wind Waker, a combination of a bit of Donkey Kong Country and a bit of Zelda and...maybe something else for gameplay. It was pretty good, but it was not revolutionary whatsoever. Just a pretty solid game with great art.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yul_AGm-7G I think the Stalker one (and Stalker in general) works the best out of the three, though. Diablo is maybe a little too high energy, while the Off song is probably using too weird of an instrument to truly sound "hell"-like.

BG2 voice-acting was pretty darned good throughout: I'm not sure how somebody could argue against that, with the ridiculous amount of work that was put into it. Maybe a few miscellaneous characters could've been better, but on whole, quality generally ranged from serviceable to good and sometimes even great. It's a little absurd to think of just how many little soundsets for all the different types of monsters and character types they bothered to make. If I had to pick out a weakness, actually, it would actually be that some of the main playable characters...think Cernd and maybe Viconia...fell into the "merely serviceable" end of the spectrum...but because if you have them stick around for so long, it can easily get to feel like they fall below that after hearing them too much. Planescape: Torment I am less sure about, mainly because it's my impression that there wasn't nearly as much voice-acting in PST as there was in BG2, and so it's harder for me to remember and gauge it.

Wow, it actually finally happened. Congratulations, Amentep,

And yet they still somehow managed to make it embarrassingly cringey and completely without reason or sense. Bah, humbug. Regardless, they actually just came out today and said the previous reports were false:

Hopefully there won't be some completely idiotic and nonsensical romance going on like the previous game...Hey, some of us tried.Hey, that's the way things go. I'm moderately concerned about the future of our country...but I was going to be that regardless of who won: just about different specific things, I guess.Hey, I voted for Bernie, who projected much, much better than Hillary did against Trump at the time. I very, very reluctantly would've preferred that she won tonight, but that's not how the rest of the nation felt, I guess. None of us can do much about that, and you lashing out at us isn't going to change that. (e): rest, not rightWell, Hillary won my state, so at least Bruce can't wildly lash out and blame me for the current state of affairs like he's doing everyone else.It's still not really enough, though."Preliminary exit polls show that many voters were motivated by dislike of one of the candidates more than by support for the person they voted for. One in five Clinton voters said they chiefly oppose the other candidate, and 27 percent of Trump supporters said the same; those figures were just 8 percent for Obama voters in 2012 and 10 percent for Romney voters." -538He never blamed the British Empire for anything? Why did he defect and fight against them, then?They should do the same for companies that owe debts, too: call the individual employees while they're trying to sit down and relax at home to annoy them into putting pressure on their company. I'm sure that'll work just as well as what they're doing in your case.That was pretty neat, thanks for sharing, . I'd actually never heard the song before. Was on some random compilation album that I just went through that's just a collection of a bunch of...I guess "experimental" would be the best word for it, music from different artists. Album entitled "Gravikords, Whirlies & Pyrophones" - yep, sounds like a title for an experimental compilation album.It's the fact that I'm also a super completionist that makes it so annoying: doing every single planet, discovering every landmark is just a rather miserable experience. For the IE games, I have a console command memorized: CLUAConsole:ExploreArea(). I don't like it when games penalize me for exploring everything completely, and that's the way it certainly felt in Mass Effect.I wouldn't say the attack at the diner would be the best example of "doing pretty well for herself": she loses her mind in the phone booth for no real reason. It's so incredibly painful to sit through scenes like that, when there's no real explanation for why a person, especially her (since she literally just got done telling everyone in the diner about the attacks, and she'd powered through a couple already), would act like that. I guess it's part of the genre, but eugh. I think Annie was probably the strongest of the women, but she died off screen somehow while we were left with the sniveling child...so that sucked. Annoying and poorly written and/or acted child actors/actresses...o' how I loathe thee, especially when it's a combination of all three. ...You'll note, based on the various things I've written in this topic, that I'm not really the sort of person that easily ignores the things I don't like, sadly.
