  1. I start feeling like **** when it's above 68F, I don't have the luxury of an AC either So much this, I love the smell of rainfall after a long time with warm weather. Almost too much, I got upset with my coworkers complaining about the smell this monday when it rained for the first time in a month.
  2. "Real time with pause" ... Nope.
  3. The entire month of may has been ludicrously warm here. Water level is getting really low in my lake.
  4. That seems like an interesting premise. Going to buy it tomorrow night.
  5. If Obsidian was involved it would atleast resemble a RPG instead of being a mockery of it. I'm still raw from the last one.
  6. Congratulations!
  7. Went back to work after 4 weeks off, and for the first time in 4 weeks there was rainfall. It's been 4 weeks of 25C+ until today. XD
  8. Aw, ****, that quickly? **** cancer. TB's youtube channel was the place I usually went to see his first impressions videos to see if a game was worth it's salt.
  9. She's a developmental psychologist, granted, at that time she only had about 15 years behind her. Bet you she knows better than anyone here, what affects people, how, growing up. Her sons are more "well adjusted" than anyone from our circle of friends.
  10. That reminds me of something from WoT's funny threads. Reminds me of how my friends mother went to the US and him and his brother asked her to buy Leasure Suit Larry for them while she was there. She went to the store and looked around for the game and brought it to the counter, the clerk asked her if she plays games and she told him they were for her sons. He asked her how old they were and when she told him 10 and 12 the clerk flipped and started to lecture her on how damaging it was to young kids. And then tried to get her to buy something more fitting and recommended Doom or Quake instead. Innuendo and erotica(I guess you can call it?) is bad, but guts and gore is ok...
  11. I think the poor birds around here are feeling unwell in the heat. The last month the weather has been really warm, though a 'wee' bit much for me. So far today I've had four avians have a visit inside my room. They've all left on their own accord, but I feel like I need to get a mesh of some kind to stop them from coming in here, the last thing I want is for them to get injured and stuck in here. Unless it's a seagull, 'cuz **** seagulls.
  12. Sorry to hear about your family misfortunes Ep, hope you have smooth sailing from here on out. Nice! I've been training for such things in my car by not using the clutch at all, if you match everything perfectly it just slides in without effort, I've always had more problems with shifting up, don't know why.
  13. I wonder what edition they would go for if that were the case. The new Demon game would be very meta, but a game based on the old Demon could actually be interesting. I didn't pay much attention when reading through the new vampire game, but I don't remember as big of a rewrite in that as I did in Demon.
  14. Congrats!
  15. Much prefer Ballrog Boogie myself.
  16. Growing up with a sister that had celiac disease diagnosed from when she was a baby, I sometimes had to eat the same things as her. Dear god was it awful. Thankfully that wasn't really often, it would've been to expensive even with subsidies. Since I found out about my health problems I've had to be more aware of my diet, and that is really bothersome for me, I really don't care for reading up on what everything contains so that I can go get those things incorporated into my food. Only plus side is that I have an excuse to eat sweet potatoes! :D
  17. My sis never has had that problem. Is it hard to get celiac free foodstuffs where you're at?
  18. Spiced with a little bit of Bulletstorm.
  19. Looking out the window at the two hectare field outside my window, your back has my full sympathies.
  20. It's a bit old now though, show be Early Access, Open World, Games as Service and lootboxes.
  21. About how large an area do you grow things on? Also, out of curiosity, do you have any idea about how much you spent on fertilizer and time spent so that you've got an rough ~$h estimate? :D Edit; My father was supposed to park his car here while waiting for a garage that he can work in to dismantle the car to pop up. He had determined that he was going to park it close to a giant hole in the ground that we still have. Do you think he managed to put one of his wheels in a pit and beach his car?
  22. Yeah, it's a much better system. In the EON (Swedish only) ruleset they have similar ideas though more advanced combat systems. Armor has flat damage reduction (Though gambessons are woefully inadequate in value) and a very variable damage system, one-hit kills are very possible. You don't have a health pool but a "death save" that increases in difficulty with different injuries. It's still somewhat forgiving though, since you are more likely to be knocked out and later die from your injuries if you do not get help, so they do manage to have a feeling of risk in there while at the same time being somewhat forgiving. There is basically no magic to speak of though, so if you get your lung punctured you will have to hope someone got surgical skills up to snuff and that you do not die from the later infections. The magic might actually give you a slight edge on surviving that infection though. You do often get a chance to say farewell to your companions though, because you are likely going to slowly die a slow and painful awful death from having your bowels perforated. Gives you lots of time for farewells. I really like it though, because you do get a heroic feel of things while at the same time you always have the threat of death in all combat, wether it is a tavern brawl and some drunk farmer with a knife or on a battlefield. Beasts and monsters have their own damage table that often emphasizes counterattacks and mauling, requiring you to have specialized weapons to deal with them (Mainly polearms/spears, they have a special weapon quality), you don't go hunting for bears or zombies with a sword or hammer. If you really want to get that full plated warrior down, you had better go get yourself an arbalest and some people to distract him so you can line up a shot from close range. Or wrestle him down and shove a dagger through his visor.
  23. Well, in rulesets with AC you do come across a load of other annoyances which tend to drive me insane. A naked rogue has better chances of survival than a naked fighter (If you go by archetypical stat allocation), apparently all fighting schools forgot to teach people what parry or block is. There are a load of misconceptions about medieval armours all around the rpg-world, not entirely surprising considering that they haven't really been in use for hundreds of years, but it's still frustrating. Some of the best systems I've come across just accept the inherent imbalance in armours and embrace it. The feeling of panic when your group runs into people in full plate armour, even when you outnumber them four to one is quite delicious!
