I also enjoyed MoO 3 but doing so took some serious patience and the willingness to understand mechanics that - while sensible - weren't at all intuitive, or in other words, finding an answer to the question of MoO 3: "Why does the AI keep building troop ships?" was pretty tough. The manual was useless in describing the interactions between the statistics, just like the in-game help. I can also understand why people weren't satisfied with the shift in gameplay from micromanaging a handful of planets to macromanaging an empire of hundreds of planets. It no longer was "Master of Orion" but simply a 4X game set in the Master of Orion universe. Kind of like JJ Abram's Nu-Trek is Star Trek in name only. Nice action movies, just no Trek. But eh, I digress. PoR 2 never killed my operating system, I think I even got a patched version that no longer had the installer from death on the discs. The gameplay on its own was terrible enough. Almost finished it though. It's still on my list of games I want to complete at some point. Just for the sheer inanity of it all. :D

That leaves no viable source of news because every news source in the history of ever at some point lied.

Your honor, I rest my case. No need for even a closing statement here.

So what horrible classics have you seen on GOG? Except Master of Orion 3 maybe, but that's arguably neither a classic nor truly horrible in the way a Ruins of Myth Drannor is. *shrug*

Binged Bojack Horseman season 4. Not as strong as season 3 was but it picked up momentum in the second half of the season. Still wish this would be animated better but eh, it's not like it's going to change.

http://imgur.com/n8Moni6 Have fun with the arrangement. You might need to download the picture or copy/paste it into paint or whatever you use, depending on your screen's resolution. As far as (KKKodexian) internet tripe goes this is pretty mild, although some of the posts are clearly written under the influence. ...and with that, let's leave it out of this thread, lest it gets locked. Might be better to split off the part and move it to WOT, but it's not like rat's bums are given and all that. *shrug*

Y'all should try Dog Days (Hundstage), assuming you can get it somewhere and don't mind subtitles. Funerals are generally more fun.

Hmmmm. Pop-Metal. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dy6MpsDPKts

It's photon torpedo in Star Trek and proton torpedo in Star Wars.

I watched season 3 and it was pretty good. I'd say the show picked up some major momentum at the end of season 1 and never really stopped, but then I also really loved the way it unapologetically used every sci-fi cliché it could find. It wasn't high brow but fun, solid and fast paced entertainment on a tight budget (which really showed in the sets, much like it did in Andromeda back in the early 00s). What really made it work, in the end, was the cast interaction, especially with Zoie Palmer - and the fact that the payoffs started for all the groundwork laid in the early episodes. The cliffhanger was... eh, never mind. It's a bit like if Stargate SG-1 had stopped after season 9's ending. With something rather similar happening.

I just can't see them two hitting it off. Qis and Bruce on the other hand was a romantic love story just starting to blossom before she went away...

And Qis and luzi, then we could finally find a proper match for Bruce.

Chrome had a super fast javascrip engine at a time when JS exploded in importance and FF started to become massive bloatware and a resource hog. It's popularity isn't unfounded, I just can't be arsed to migrate - a mixture of inertia and no desire to google me up even more.

Is it as bad as everyone says? In my experience popular things being "as bad as they say" is more often than not directly related to the amount of levels one has put into edgelord. Some people here are high level epic edgelords already.

Fun at the office today. Me and my big mouth. *sigh* For some reason I don't remember we started talking about bank accounts and my boss said that he only uses cash and doesn't have a credit or debit/EC/ATM card and if he needs any money he gets it from his wife. Naturally the question why comes up where I simply had to interject and joke around. "Yeah don't you know that's because he used to be a gambling addict and racked up quite a debt. 's just a way of coping and preventing a relapse." ...and of course that is the actual reason he only uses cash and stays as far away from any form of easily available money as possible and lets his wife handle finances. Looked at me in bewilderment and asked if he ever told me, and I was like "OMFG hell no..." followed by an awkward silence and a bit more embarrassing exposition than we would have gotten otherwise. Yeah. So, pro-tip: If your boss ever tells you he essentially gets an allowance from the wife just make a cougar/sugar mommy comment. Or don't say anything.

Woops, wrong thread.

Indeed. As a member of the (white) cis-hetero patriarchy if I can choose I'll almost always pick a male character, but if I can't or I need to play as female for achievements I'll do just that - e.g. I played and finished each Mass Effect game as male and female Shepard. If not it doesn't bother me and I really don't care about customizing my avatar that much. Some of my friends spend hours crafting their characters, I usually just press "random" a couple times if available and take the first things that looks acceptable, unless I'm trying to make the most goofy looking character possible.

They're not half-siblings. Dany is Jon's aunt. Rhaegar was Dany's older brother. Not that this makes it any less squicky.

But so far it's been on the side of either villains or side characters. Two major "heroes"? Feels significantly more icky to me somehow - when Cersei does it, well, she's done more awful crap. But these are people we're supposed to root for? Just to play devil's advocate here, they don't really know that they're related. Not yet, anyway, which should make for a fun reveal. I suspect Jon to be grossed out, Dany probably less so. She grew up expecting to marry her brother after all.

It's probably because I'm the only one left that still uses Firefox instead of Chrome.

Put a couple of hours into Solstice Chronicles: MIA today now that I've (finally) gotten my key. Smells a bit unfinished so far.

But atleast you're dry? That could be the problem, assuming nobody stocked up on the sauce.

Took me exactly one minute to deal with. What was the problem? The main site has no login or signup section, for one, and clicking the link in the mail didn't work after signing up and logging in at the preorder shop. So I tried with signing up at the forums. Nope. Had to manually copy and paste it while being logged in in order to transfer my pledge. Wasn't the only one going by some forum posts. Sure it's not a big deal but every other developer, even the one-man indie shows I've backed so far, managed to make this less of a hassle. Of course none of those used the backer portal as a webshop. *shrug* I also just received a russian scam mail. Apparently a really pretty girl is interested in me. *sigh* Although that might just have been a coincidence.

Wow, Kingmaker's backer portal has to be the worst I've had to register yet. Never mind that I feel like I've just given my.ru another valid e-mail address to sell. *sigh*

If I ever gave anyone the impression that I'm a cuckservative then I probably need to apologize. Maybe I should start colouring my posts as well. Oh, sorry. I usually see that as an insult from conservatives, not liberals using it in an ironic way. Anyhow, oh hey, the left is not the only one to do witch hunts: http://thehill.com/homenews/news/346900-man-misidentified-as-charlottesville-driver-by-far-right-sites-in-hiding-report (not aimed at anybody in particular, except maybe Trump). Nah, don't worry. It's just that Sharp_One loves the word libtard and he thinks Breitbart has only "flat fact" articles (in other words, no political spin to them). And unlike me, he's being serious about it. =)
