Cyberpunk is very lighthearted. Unless you maybe end up caring for the characters for some reason, in that case you'll probably not laugh as much as I did.

I can remember two standout moments. The first one, we just killed the campaign before it properly started. The setting was some backwater village with our party having grown up there. We had a cleric, a rogue, a ranger and a barbarian who rolled so bad he ended up having an intelligence of five, and basically all he ever said was expressing his current physical and emotional state in short sentences. Me hungry. Me tired. Get breakfast? Anyway, the village comes under attack, and the cleric and I (the rogue) just take off and start plundering the village chief's home while the others try to hold off the invaders. While the defense was basically successful, with half of our party getting locked up, well, our DM decided to change the campaign. The second attempt saw us heading out to find and bring back a missing scout (I was playing a fighter for this one, starting level was 4 - 3E, by the way). So we head out, find out the scout was apparently killed by some dangerous wildlife, cleaned his corpse out, read the report he was carrying and then hauled his dead, naked butt back to the village chief, because he said bring back the scout, right? We were like "Yeah, we found your scout, here, he's heavy and a bit smelly, now where's our reward?" but the chief was none too happy. Anyway, the report had some side note about orcs gathering in the mountains and a strange group of humans doing some excavation at dwarven ruins and an outpost somewhere in the desert. It also contained a sketch of some dwarven runes. Our village also had a minor dwarven enclave at a mine nearby. The idea was pretty clear, take the drawing, head to the mine, talk to the dwarves, get to the ruins, find out what's going on. We skipped the part about asking the dwarves, did not figure out a way to enter the ruins (well, obviously), then simply left for the desert and found the outpost, an imposing tower with an underground complex. Heading over, two guards came out telling us that we're not supposed to be here, but we just killed one, and captured the other. Going up, we eventually ended up being discovered, barricaded ourselves on a balcony (with the prisoner), then took positions at each side of the door. Using the door as a choke point, the guards, even though they were plentiful and level 10 NPCs, just died one by one, the ranger kept tripping them with his chain, and we just killed them. Eventually the DM just put guards with bows below the balcony that started pelting us with arrows. We threw the prisoner down the balcony for some more space, but they just kept coming and wore us down. Still, after killing almost 40 level 10 guards (that was a nice challenge rating), we were thrown in prison. We promptly escaped because knock worked on the cell doors, we overpowered the guards, dressed as guards, then looked around. Found a cantina, started a bar brawl, then snuck around while everything was in chaos and ran across the commander of the place. With a series of really, really lucky rolls the ranger just kept him tripped until we managed to defeat him. He was like level 20, and was supposed to be one of the final encounters of the campaign. Turns out he had an artifact level ring and the compound was originally built by some mysterious (maybe dwarven, but who knows, never figured that out) kingdom that used the giant ants in the desert to build an underground city beneath the sands. Pretty impressive. Anyway, the ring could be used to give commands to the ants (or, well, the queens) and we agreed that it would be a decent idea to just send them all to the mountains to wipe out the gathering orcs before they can become a problem. DM decided that our orders were not clear enough, so the ants just destroyed everythin on their way... and the orcs. There, campaign 'won'. In, like, two sessions.

Hey, I don't begrudge you guys liking rancid, mouldy milk, just leave me out of it.

I don't like the taste or smell of vomit, and I have yet to experience a blue cheese that does not smell like the regurgitated contents of someone's stomach after a night of binge drinking and eating too much. Even accidentially just getting a minute amount of it in my mouth causes retching, like when it is on pizza and I do not notice it being there before taking a bite. The only thing that's possibly worse than blue cheese is Olomouc cheese where the smell alone causes dry heaving. I have no idea how anyone can eat that stuff.

What the... but yeah, at least it wasn't just dropped in front of the door, although with my neighbors here being who they are, I'd have my controller now.

So, like, Amazon decides to ship the controller earlier. When I ordered, I had the choice of ordering directly from Amazon, or through Marketplace, with the marketplace offer being slightly cheaper. I went for the one sold by Amazon purely because there's less hassle with their deliveries, usually. Usually. Turns out they shipped the controller from a French warehouse, and Amazon in France apparently has the good sense to use Universally Pisspoor Service (UPS for short) as their parcel delivery service of choice. Obviously I was not at home today, not expecting any deliveries, because why would I get a delivery notification (like, one that every other parcel service on the planet can send! Except perhaps for those even dumber dweebs at Globally Ludicrous Service). UPS tells me they dropped the package at one of their UPS Access Stations™ and can be picked up within the next 10 days. On the one hand, I'm not too unhappy about the controller coming two weeks earlier than anticipated, on the other hand I'm of half a mind to just let it go back and order it through Amazon Marketplace just to spite everyone involved. If I had wanted that parcel delivery hassle I could have just ordered for 2€ less. And yes, I am that spiteful over that... little money. And UPS. God, damned, motherf****** UPS, that spawn of Satan and his goat.

It was too easy to store large amounts of money with them. 200€, but they're so rare you sometimes have problems paying with them in stores because clerks think they're fake. The 500€ bills are still in circulation, of course, they're just taken out when they hit banks.

True, but I wouldn't discount @Guard Dog having some issues of his own. Probably nowhere near anyone who went close to those protests, though.

Take a look at your share link, that's not going to work like that (that is your file list when you're logged in).

Careful, lest we confuse the issues here. They might be related, but there's no indication that they are. One kills posts entirely, the other just until the first regular line break. The former happens to everyone every now and then, the other exclusively to people posting from Scandinavia (the one without Finland, because they're apparently fine ). edit: would perhaps be interesting if anyone affected by the line break issue could post while having their browser's dev console open to see if there's some readily apparent javascript or server error that for some reason doesn't prevent posting entirely. @Azdeus or @omgFIREBALLS or @Noqn. A short description / how-to if necessary. Seems unlikely, but who knows.

Well, I guess that's really it now.

You're not wrong, after all, Argetina managed to pull through all of their weak phases in some way. Well, we'll see how it goes.

Access to special Trickster feats, including Improved Improved Improved Improved Critical, which requires Improved Improved Improved Critical, Improved Improved Critical and Improved Critical, as well as the Completely Normal Spell metamagic feat. CN reduces spell level by one while the Improved Critical line of feats gets you to 11-20 crit ranges, depending on your weapon of choice.

After all the games by Argentina so far? Croatia just needs to wait until they stop playing around 75 minutes in to the game, then score from nowhere.

I changed "to play with" to "interact with" to lessen it a little. Well, let me fix that for more signature bait.

Eh, I managed to single player self-found finish Hell once, during the time in Lord of Destruction when physical resistance was not nerfed yet and the guided arrow bug with piercing still present. All that needed was farming Nightmare Mephisto for a bit. A bit cheap, perhaps, but it worked well enough. Nerfhammer/bugfix hit hard though.

And you complain about me linking Scooter too much?

Said it before, but it bears repeating: bring us your daughter to corrupt. I mean, to interact with. In a totally non-corrupting way.

Sort of, but nothing mods didn't fix for single player.

It's Minako's mascot. Erm... or did you mean you all but repressed Pegasus the pedophile Alicorn?

Can someone try the Dragon Age animated series and tell me that I need not bother to watch it? That would save me some time, thanks!

Staring at the list I've only watched the Home Alones, and that at a time when I was the target demographic for the films. Also, uhm, and I'm surprised I have memories of the film at all as it came out 1985, I've seen Santa Claus: The Movie. I think that's it, unless this counts: Sure, if we count films that are set around Christmas, then I guess Rocky IV would count. Iron Man 3 too. Yeah, I'm going with no here.
