Addressing some points, foreign people will sometime revert to their language when they lack the word they need to express themselves. I do it all the time, it helps when either words fail me or when they won't suffice. Actually, the most intersting part of the setting where the Engwithan and their culture because of their ties to souls, Adra and therefore to the physics of the PoE universe. Every other culture can be summarized with two words and what bothers me is that one is often tied to the real world (E.G: Japanese Sharks, Black Renaissance...). Hard to become immersed in culture that's stuck in uncanny valley. The most interesting cultures seem to be the ones less developed. Before you start babbling about nonsense words that sound alike you should try to figure out why they sound alike, etymological roots and what not. I agree with everything else, it felt dull probably because they aimed for secure rather than experimenting and taking some risks. I'm hoping PoE will be the NW2 to an upcoming MoTB.

There are just three types of games, simulation, murder simulators and puzzles.

I like the nationalist message

Take a census of the people asking and their date of joining, I think that after PoE the average IQ of these forums fell down. No offense to anyone.

A picture might help

I don't know who that is. The stepmother of Christian Bale.

I hope the devs will be aware of this thread in the off-topic

Just so you know, a weirdo that hates cats is worse that one that likes them. At least the latter has some joy. -
Remember how we became conditioned to accept pay to win on Dungeon Keeper? Oh wait, that **** didn't fly. Really what they're doing is creating a better environment for piracy.

Class action lawsuits against fans who provide unofficial patches? I dunno, do you think we can use class action lawsuit to force electronic manufacturers to provide support after the typical one-year warranty period? So what makes you think class action lawsuit will force developers to provide long-term support for free? What law requires software developer to completely patch their products? If there is such a law, then a lot of developers - Obsidian being a prime example - have broken and are breaking that law right now. The owner of the IP is responsible for it so they could have sent a cease and desist letter. I don't know if it would hold up in court that they are liable but certainly it would hurt their image. I don't think any developer worth their salt is unable to see that public opinion affect sales, but Valve hasn't been a developer for a while now.

What you believe is ultimately your business, provided you don't try to "fix" other people to conform to your beliefs. Because we do not yet fully understand the underlying mechanisms that give rise to identification with a given gender, (or any other given personality trait, for that matter) we simply cannot be certain that they need repairs simply because they show a behavior different from the majority of the sample. But that's exactly what we're doing — we tell these people, openly or tacitly, that they are wrong. The dragon simile is pretty cool, so I'm totally going to steal it. Imagine that you are exactly as you are now, but every male around you identifies as a dragon. They go around flapping their arms and yelling all the time like imbeciles. And you either pretend that you are a dragon too (and mimic their idiotic antics) or are looked down on as a deviant, un-dragonly, a freak of nature, or a plain old attention-whore. But deep down, you identify as something else, only you don't know exactly what it is because everyone around you with whom you share a phenotypic differentiation identifies as a silly fictional giant flying lizard... fun, huh? If the government recognizes otherkin can I own one of them? What about raising them as cattle or eating them? If we kill them will it be manslaughter or animal abuse? I see no reason why society should let clearly morose individuals dictate the norm, but as a macabre ghoulish person I think I would enjoy the kind of mockery that would rise from treating people who think they're animals like animals. Now, let's ask those transgender about their pregnancies.

I find it mind boggling how anyone can shoot him down when he makes perfect sense. Transgender isn't about love or attraction, like heterosexuality and homosexuality are. It's about how one perceives themselves. Just because I perceive myself as a dragon, doesn't make me a dragon. It doesn't mean everyone should view me as a dragon when I'm biologically a human. It's a mental problem and instead of working harder to find the underlying cause, we lump it into the pile of equal rights. Would you take Otherkin seriously if they campaigned like trans people? Social justice warriors have perversely twisted gender dysmorphia into an equal rights issue like homosexuality or race. There are cases of hermaphrodism where the child gender is chosen for them and they eventually transition because they feel they are the wrong gender (without an foreknowledge of their condition) these are rare though.

Well, I'm not among them, and I've never heard of this. You really can't imagine yourself not being attracted to a physically attractive woman because of her personality or something else like that? :U Maybe he just hasn't met the wrong one yet. -
The unpleasant truth? More like gossiping. If you have any actual topic to debate rather than Bruce Jenner transition such as transgender issues or whether or not it is a mental disorder then please state that intent on the OP. I can't say that I ever watched the Kardashians or cared about their continued existence.

He traded his soul for Cubans, I'm sure that the man wouldn't have the same ink as a juggalo.

Is this game based on the old Mad Max or the new "fight the Patriarchy" Mad Max?

Will we ever see an cRPG with semi-realistic combat?
Orogun01 replied to eschaton's topic in Computer and Console
In a medieval setting you wouldn't die from just one blow,unless its a lethal blow to vital areas that cause instant death. In a CRPG setting a realistic medieval combat wouldn't work simply because CRPGs have a bad habit of always putting you in encounters where you're are outnumbered and limiting the amount of companions you can travel with. So unless you're a band of mounted knights fighting hordes of peasants I'm pretty sure that numbers will eventually win out. Particularly if the developers forget to program panic into the AI. -

What? The guy is in a desperate struggle with addiction. He has a gift of charm, and he's wasting it away. Apparently Dr. Phil has sent him to rehab a couple times. That's a super sad story, how long do you think he can actually maintain such an existence? I don't know that you waste the gift of charm by using it as much as possible; unless you believe that we should have him bed every world leader in an attempt to mediate talks for world peace. Because I don't see much use for sex appeal other than to get sex. Also, it probably won't be forever but it is one of those existences that have distilled the essence of a pursuit into a singular object. I find that those are the kind of people that make the world a richer place to live in, everyone else seems mundane. -

I admire this man. Never thought I would see someone who had genuinely reached the zenith of picking up women. He's like the Bodhisattva of pick up artists. -
Why? I'm growing to hate liberal pundits because they have become such caricatures of themselves. I can't really think of one that's not smug, arrogant, engages in double think and generally fails to live by the ideals they promote when it counts. It seems the liberal pundit tv formulas is to arrogantly declare oneself into the intellectual/moral high ground by shaming the opposition for their views. They won't even refute them with a statement of why they are wrong they just act like they're right and if you don't get it there is something wrong with you.

I think his MO is just to be the opposite view of whatever his interviewee its. Anyone else get angry at TYT on that segment? I hadn't seen that one and my opinion of TYT has been lowering for a while but this took to a whole new low.

It´s pretty pathetic and should be unacceptable. The sad thing is, enough people will look at this and go with the whole "poor jews" bull****, while overlooking that this is hatred stirred against muslims. It´s pure demonization, Nethanyahu will be proud. Please don't misunderstand, I'm not angry because of who they choose to demonize and who to victimize but rather I'm angry that in an country that is predominantly one race it is that same race that creates the lowest amount of outrage when offended or threatened. I'm just a bit fed up with public opinion and how little the news media actually represents it, where it not for the fact that the US is a place where socializing isn't a necessity and that politics very rarely enter discussion people would have realized by now how little the opinions of their immediate friends and family match what the medias says people think. Or maybe i'm wrong in thinking that it is manufactured.

The only thing that i'm hating is how apparently you can manipulate mass media by catering to the ones that own it. I mean, why else go with Jews when the majority of people living in the US are white?

I may not have medieval combat experience, but I have had experience casting magic missles, fireballs and horrid wilting. Totally legit. Was it Tacos night? -
That horse armor that was made by a guy that works 35 hours a week and wishes to make a living doing what he loves...but yeah let's say that it is evil for one person to make mods on their free time and try to make a living out of it. Also, if steam is taking 75% then **** those guys.
