@Azdeus have I shown you Darth Gobbo?

The good thing is that once people see you actually follow through with a few conversions they thought silly, they start showing that grudging hobby respect because silly as they may have thought it would be, you did pull it off (though I have yet to make teddy bear marines)

Yeah, a number of friendly local game stores weren't sure if they should remove the "friendly" from their description when they saw that Though I also had one person for years try to convince me to convert an army based on that.

I only just noticed Paranoia disappeared from the Epic store. So I didn't buy that

Mind you, I did grow up drawing stuff like this: https://www.deviantart.com/melkathi/art/Unicorn-826524266

The third season I found extremely boring. Sypha is funny though regardless of season.

I had two My Little Ponies as a kid. Bought them from my pocket money because they were so awesomely cute. One of them was pink. Still turned out a straight white male.

OK, I found Ciri on the last screenshot. Still looking for her in the others.

Dune. I would have said Frank Herbert, but everything after the first Dune book...

Percentage of the wage for Easter and Christmas, as well as a very small bonus in August for children's summer camp. My account is adamant I always pay these on time - which is a bit silly because I always pay everything on time - because while with normal wages, if I were to not pay and get sued, I would be able to claim that I am forced to delay payment and have every intention to pay. The holiday bonus can't be delayed as that is seen as flagrante delicto. The result of that is that unscrupulous employers will pay bonuses, then have their staff pay it back in cash.

Hey, even the USA brought out some good things. Pete Seeger, Bob Ross, Tracy Chapman... yeah, that's my list right now.

Either Norway or Denmark or Legoland?

I was meaning to ask Comrade, but your long post got in before my one-liner.

Remind me which country you live in?

Currently they are offering that for the one month everything is shut. I don't know if they are going to extend it or come up with a new formula if we need to stay closed longer. The good thing is they are also giving that as a salary to my cleaning lady. So I don't have her salary to worry about - just her Easter bonus, which I am still required to pay. But seeing how it will take a while for people to go traveling again, if I miss out on most of the summer revenue even if we are allowed to open again - eh. On the other hand it may mean that all the new places that opened up without a business plan, and all the people renting out under the table over AirBnB may shut their places first, clearing the market share again for those of us who try to do things the right way.

800 euros.

I stocked up with toilet paper and such stuff for the mini-hotel before things got bad. So on one hand I may go out of business. On the other hand I have enough toilet paper to last me over a year.

Loren and Planet Stronghold are their better games. They can all get a bit too dating simulator, and they could use some better proof reading.

Mercenary starts a Knock Down strike against Aloth. Aloth knocks him back with a Grimoire Slam, while Eder tries to pull the merc with Into The Fray. The merc, two thirds through his activation, but now halfway between Aloth and Eder, turns around, runs up to Eder and completes the Knock Down without losing any progress.

I would like to not have played XCOM yet and play it for the first time...

GM was a nice idea but doesn't work gameplay wise. There is a scene where you can ask her for help, if in your party, so she can do the Cypher stuff you may not be able to. Eder then comments how it is unreasonable of you to assume a random woman passing by would be a Cypher. Because the rest of the party are unaware of GM being part of the party. They don't notice her unless circumstances force them to notice her, and then they just see her as a random passer by. Which is very strange in dungeons (for example when you use her in the Skaern temple to clear the trigger from the young noblewoman's mind (what? In the middle of the temple a random villager appears, happens to be a Cypher and walks off again, getting lost in the crowd?)) or deep in the Endless Paths.

Someone in my google search commented that it may only be possible with the unofficial patch.

Sorry, the spoiler tag seems empty. There is nothing there.

My list of things I do not like about PoE: 1. Loading a game: Save Games are not organised based on how recent they are. They are organised by Autosave, then Quicksave, then Manual save. Extremely counter-intuitive when you hit load game and normally would click the top of the list. Not in PoE, you have to scroll and find the save you are looking for. Minor added gripe: while there is a Quicksave key (F5) there is no Quickload which other games with Quicksave so very often have (F9) 2. Saving a game: When manually saving the game, Autosaves and Quicksaves are in the list and can be overwritten. Why? 3. Endurance/Health dual HP system: I do not feel it adds anything to the game other than weakening healer roles and forcing more frequent rests in an effort to force a feel of pressure through a limited camping supply system (which aren't that rare, and even if, you can always leave, rest at Caed Nuad and return fully rested). 4. Engagement / Disengaging: Is a terribly designed system as it only exists to hamstring the player, since so many enemies have been given ways around it with either free disengage or just blinking/teleporting onto Aloth. It gives the impression that a system was created, only for the AI people to realise they couldn't get the AI to understand it and thus the enemies were given ways to avoid it. 5. Prone/Stun/etc spam: I start combat from stealth, and half my team will still end up prone before they land the first attack. Somehow even as the attack animation happens, the enemies get to target and start with a free attack. Which usually will be a stun or paralyze or whatever. While all these abilities can be interesting, their overuse isn't. Fights end up as a "Who paralyzes or dominates or whatever first". 6. Bloat: As already partially mentioned in the previous point: there are so many ways of doing the same thing: I can stun, daze, paralyze. I can slow, hobble... the list of status effects is huge. And a lot of them could be merged into half the number. Then though stats and skills would need to do less, and those too are bloated with things they affect. Which they could without making the game any less interesting. Same goes for spells and similar abilities. At 88 hours I still can't remember what all of Durance's spells do. Not that I care to, since the guy is annoying. The game had to become a DnD/Pathfinder clone and therefor needed loads of classes and every class needed to be unique and rich in options - but as one of my professors loved to ask every lecture: Who cares? It pains me to use the line as it gets thrown around way too much in school of architecture, and I have developed an allergy to it, but "Less is more". Maybe this should have gone in the unpopular opinion discussion. But this opinion has nothing to do with Mad Max movies, so it may have been out of place there.
