Yeah, and if you don't have any disable magic like Sleep yet...

I mean, when the games that aren't immediately taken are just the ones that nobody around here has ever heard of, how can you blame us? The ones people have heard of (...and have heard of them for not being terrible) usually get taken in like less than 24 hours...I don't want to take a game I don't think I'm ever gonna at least try, so I don't. I'm sure others feel the same.

running for your freaking life when you see a group of like 7 kobolds justbaldursgatethings

no, but I did think I should be polite and ask

is she as obnoxious and horrific as the commercials for her show suggest gotta know before I decide whether to watch this or not

What's the newest leak? Reddit is usually my source of news, but stuff has been getting increasingly censored there recently...

nose needs to be bigger for that I just don't get it. Is it supposed to be flattering and simply falling short? Is it supposed to be insulting although it has a perfectly reasonable political quote on the back? Are those chopsticks protruding from his neck? It's very reminiscent of Jewish caricatures from Nazi Germany-era propaganda...although aluminiumtrioxid is correct in that his nose is smaller than would be normal for such. Nevertheless...

One big step for ideology... One small step for power-hungry politicians. [/half joking]

What the DNC is apparently selling: like, what are we trying to be actual literal nazis now

You're proud of us? For not getting all of these games off your hands, even though it's been over a year and a half? P.S. I imagine Rocket League will be gone in 2 seconds.

Jill Stein: "Democrats are now accusing Russia of manipulating our presidential election... exactly what [the] DNC was caught doing." Hmm.

With just the tiniest bit of imagination, I could pretend that it's actually John Elway and that I'm getting revenge on him for Super Bowl 32...

The problem is that if he lost he was supposed to lose fair and square. The DNC giving Clinton an advantage nullifies any obligation he had to support Clinton. I don't see how this changes anything from his point of view, though. Sure, it makes us go, "Yeah, screw all that," but from his perspective, he still lost and it's clear the DNC isn't going to do anything about their own corruption, and in his mind Hillary is still the better option out Hillary and Trump, and he knows that if he tried to run third party he would just act as a spoiler for Hillary, which he's said from the very beginning, like so many other things he's said, that he would refuse to do. So I know you didn't say this, but I don't see how this really makes him a sellout as per Volourn.

Well, personally, I would instead say something more like, "LEDs are like ketchup, you shouldn't be putting it on anything you actually like."

Well, I mean, all of the DLC is "optional", so...the area he is in leads to the second boss of the area, so yeah. Also, I really despised all of the DLC areas. The game was already torturous - the DLC really kicked it up a notch.

at this rate, we should just have a "Violent Attacks in 2016" thread

It's my impression that while the DNC cares at least a little about Sanders supporters come election-time, it really seems like Hillary just does not give even, like, the slightest crap - not even the tiniest inkling that maybe she should have been working to unite the two different sets of voters, to unite the party. She just doesn't seem to care. It's a 'bold' strategy...

In other news, the corrupt DNC chair, Debbie Wesserman Schultz, will be resigning...but not before the convention. And Hillary immediately announced that it would hire her as "honorary chair" of her campaign. What, she wasn't already?

I think Humanoid perhaps got the crux of it - while you may not technically have to grind in modern JRPGs to be able to keep progressing in the main story, if the gameplay is so dreadfully repetitive to some players that even doing the bare minimum in regards to the combat is too much of a slog, then, well, perhaps the complaint shouldn't be "too grindy" but rather "not fun to me, period". People might say the former, but they probably mean the latter, particularly if they haven't played hardly any JRPGs to begin with.

why the hell would we pledge to do anything in the event hillary loses? the only people who seem to really strongly want hillary to win around here are bruce and leferd. what are you smoking, man

Probably because most people are probably older (given the average age of the longtime active posters here) and tried a JRPG(s) when they were younger and they were grindfests and they were terrible. For example, I tried Quest 64 when I was younger, among a couple other ones, and that made me stay away from JRPGs for basically forever, and since I really do not like anime or anime-esque art styles, or the generally horribly written nature of JRPGs, or turn-based combat in general, well, I haven't returned. ...Although I actually like Quest 64, but regardless, there's no denying that it's a terrible game that would turn people off from JRPGs for probably life.

So how about those wikileaks, guys?
