    I'd rather write a novel length slashfic that simultaneously runs Daeran x Regill and Wenduag x Nenio than watch 10 minutes of Franky.

    He hasn't and the "pretty" isn't needed. Franky is one dimensional cardboard cutout with an annoying gimmick attached, and this mini-episode just drove home how boring he is. A 10-minute special featuring Mr. Elegant would be preferable to the Franky mini-episode.

    I'd much rather have seen Anya at the obstacle course than 10 minutes of Franky.

    Ok I'm in. Now where to find the show?

    What else happens?

    My kitsune run is going well.

    More datamining TL;DR: More stuff for Shifter has been added, as well as more stuff for a (probable) Shifter companion. I will bet $100 and someone else's soul that first new DLC is gonna be the class and companion.

    https://www.themarshallproject.org/2022/10/18/does-your-sheriff-think-he-s-more-powerful-than-the-president I wonder how much the 40% of sheriffs who believe they have supreme authority overlaps with the 40% of cops who beat their wives?

    "Truss licked by the lettuce" is the best political headline in history. I can't find it right now, but I recall hearing Alan Dershowitz claiming he couldn't have raped two of the girls Epstein trafficked because he always wears glasses during sex. I think that may give the Kurz defense a run for its money. Somewhat off-topic, during google-fu for the glasses quote I did find out that Dershowitz has been obsessed with protecting men accused with rape (structurally, not just ss a lawyer) since before I was born, as well as wanting to get rid of statutory rape and not charge Johns who hire a sex worker (the sex worker themselves should get charged of course, because LAW AND ORDER). Is there any term to describe the phenomenon where the more you learn the worse it is?

    Did Quentin Tarantino direct episode 9?

    Scrolls of Atonement are a 750 gold bandaid on a bad implementation of a bad system. Nice to have and all that for the game, but dumb that a holy warrior who oozes holiness needs one because they picked too many (Good) choices. While I strongly prefer the reputation system in Pillars to D&D alignment, I think the fact that reputation can't degrade or cancel out was a mistake. If I spend half the game lying and the other half being honest or do a bunch of helpful stuff for a town only to go on a killing spree later, it's not great that the game tracks the reputations separately rather than have them cancel out. Doubly so when certain (sub)classes benefit from certain reputations while being hurt by others. Really I think the thing is to disentangle class mechanics from Alignment or Reputation to avoid creating a mechanical need to act in a specific way. I think Larian games are open about being a joke while Owlcat games are played straight. While we can wonder whether or not Owlcat was making a joke on the players or are being genuine, I think if you play an hour of either Original Sin you know it's a joke.

    I agree. With the way WotR works it seems very difficult to play a Lawful alignment locked character without turning into some kinda ****. Such characters shouldn't have to imitate a pint-sized fascist to keep their holy powers. I think in terms of alignment implementation where you're tracking it with some sort of point system the square grid works better than the wheel in Owlcat games. Not a good solution by any means, but better than the game failing your Paladin because you did the WotR equivalent of giving a kid ice cream instead of executing his dog because he didn't pick up poop.

    The (Chaotic) option outright says it's doing a good deed lmao. I don't think that it's really feasible to write out an option for all 9 alignments for every choice, but damn you end up with some absolute doozies. That (Lawful) option is pretty ****ing crazy for anyone who isn't some kinda creep. Imagine that you've put dozens or hours into this game as a Paladin or Monk and what makes you fall is preventing a demon from torturing her child. Real headscratcher ****. I get the alignment is almost certainly gonna be in any D&D or Pathfinder game because of "THE RULES" but **** me if the implementations of it could use more than a bit of finesse to work better.
  18. PK htiw klaw eriF
    In more ways than one.

    Wrestling is real in the sense that the stunts are performed by real people who can easily **** their bodies up. I agree that having explicit choices for the corner alignments would be an improvement. Mechanically speaking, it sucks to have a Paladin fall because you picked too many of the (Good) choices. But I like the way that Owlcat didn't treat Chaotic Evil as Evil Evil and instead all the Evil options are equally hilariously psychotic.
  20. PK htiw klaw eriF
    WotR dialogues are like 1. "You're forgiven." (Good) 2. "You broke the Law. Die!" [Attack] (Lawful) 3. "General Bofa says I have to let you go." (Chaotic) 4. "I don't like you. Die!" [Attack] (Evil) If it's parody it is brilliant. I have seen countless discussions about wanting to be a serious villain in a videogame RPG and parodying that with some absolute cheeseball stuff to show how ridiculous wanting to be evil is would be an absolute power move. Unfortunately I do not get the sense that it is parody and instead is the continuation of very cheesy RPG stuff dialed up to 11. Anyways, I found out that Legend gets to fight a god now.

    Spy x Family 15 Anya faces made me laugh too much with this one.

    The Munsters (2022). Rob Zombie captures the tone of 60's television with a gallon of absurdity on top just in case. Does this make a good movie? Maybe, maybe just ok, but definitely not a great movie. It is EXTREMELY corny but that somehow makes it charming. Like if this had gone done a typical romcom route this movie would have sucked, but by dialing up the corny this is avoided and something very different is delivered. Maybe that different won't work for yall, but I had a good enough time.
  24. PK htiw klaw eriF
    I'll say that this got much more attention than when a man immolated himself on the steps of the US Supreme Court.

    Spy X Family 14 Anya can't read a clock.
