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. =)

Honestly, which sort of idiot is responsible for that video's title? Balling your eyes out my arse. What's that supposed to be, a new form of teabagging?

Bought a third one, got The Night of the Rabbit. Should have known.

What? No, everything on Breitbart is true. Silly libtard.

I bought two loot pinatas and got lucky. Got a Saints Row game I didn't have yet and Alien vs. Predator. I'm still tempted but I probably should quit while I'm ahead of the curve. Most random games I got from GoG one way or the other were indie adventures.

Truer words have never been spoken. Though to be fair, I do pay 30% income tax and a 25% VAT... We pay 18% of our income for what's called social insurance - a package consisting of healthcare, retirement funds and unemployment pay.

Things sometimes really hide in plain sight. I've been looking for my XBox 360 controller for a while now. I looked everywhere. Really. Or, uhm, almost everywhere anyway. It was not to be found. For the past two days I thought I might have lent it to a friend who hasn't brought it back yet. Then I rifled through the entire flat again. Every closet, every cupboard. It's been sitting right next to me. Literally. There's a little space between my desk and the wall. The computer desk has a small board attatched to it where my flatbed scanner resides - a thing I haven't used in ages now. Stupid piece of manure is idling on the scanner. I probably put it there while cleaning the desk and forgot about it. It's sitting there and I swear it is mocking me. You get what you pay for, right? Right?

Oh, yeah. Bioware messed up the beginning of Inquisition. The game gets more interesting and better paced once the prologue is over but that can take everything from 2 hours to 40 depending on how much elfroot you compulsively pick up in the Hinterlands. Hence the tip. Heh. No clue about Shadow Warrior though but for co-op shootering business I can recommend Serious Sam if you haven't gotten it already.

You can even make sure it gets made and support it on Fig! If you weren't done with crowdfunding, that is. ^^

Inquisition is more polished game of the two and it does everything better than Andromeda, and if you enjoy Thedas lore it's a treasure trove of new things and information (for the record I also enjoyed The Silmarillion more than Lord of the Rings for exactly the same reason). With Solas and Cole Bioware managed to create two rather interesting NPCs in Inquisition while those in Andromeda are all fairly bland. On the other hand Inquisition also has some terrible NPCs (even by Bioware annoyment gold standard Aerie - yeah looking at you Sera) and let's not forget, all the women have male skeletons, skulls and faces. It's a veritable ****** paradise. Cuz social justice. /luzi No seriously, if you want to pick up only one of them and you don't have a strong hankering for sci-fi pick Inquisition and for the love of god do not stay in the Hinterlands until you've done every quest there. You'll go mad. I..., I... sometimes I still hear the voices. *sob* I...

Spiderbewbs for the supreme lose.

Yeah, LF doesn't exactly know that Arya is essentially a fully trained member of the Faceless Men but she has the valyrian steel dagger and she held off Brienne in a fight. Assuming Sansa told him that she wanted to start beheading people left and right that should be enough to know playing her is a bad idea. Eh, but why am I complaining, I hope it proves to be a very bad idea for him. About the Freys, yep, at least Cersei or Jaime should have mentioned losing an allied house, even if they were of questionable worth. Someone must rule the Riverlands now, no? Hmmm.

Warning, Chuck Norris joke ahead: Your fault for clicking on the spoiler.

Nothing's wrong with that picture. We all know Stanley Kubrick directed the moon landing...

Man can believe the impossible, but man can never believe the improbable. -- Oscar Wilde Breaking suspension of disbelief or having a really cool scene is a fine line sometimes, and it's not at the same point for everyone. The episode was pretty neat, except for the usual teleporting. I always thought, in the books more than in the show though, that Dany has more than a few loose screws. Burning extremely valuable hostages alive just seems to confirm that. What I really didn't like was Dany looking like she's getting her knickers in a bunch over Jon. Eh, and what the hell is Littlefinger's plan? Granted there might be some value to create strife between Sansa and Arya but Arya is a murdering psychopath with the ability to shapeshift. If he wants to rule through Sansa that seems to be a bad, bad idea.
