White People: What They Say in Public vs Behind Closed Doors
Namutree replied to ktchong's topic in Way Off-Topic
Where I grew up nearly every sentence people said had the N word in it. I'm pretty used to hearing it. -
heh. So true... EDIT: It's not so bad though. Change your expectations or you will be having the course Kjaamor predicts. PoE is not a continuation of the IE games. It's not better or worse; it's different.

Then he won't believe you.

So, how have you been wiped so far?
Namutree replied to Odd Hermit's topic in Backer Beta Discussion
I have never been wiped out. -
They are. Thompson wanted to ban games for silly reasons. Sarkeesian provided a *critique of trends in games. *more specifically a painfully moderate critique that constantly felt the need to reassure the viewer that they're not a bad person and that liking these games did not make them a person. You make it sound like it is just some Mary Sue with the most nicest of intentions Nah, that girl is a con man So she was a man all along eh?

Rand Paul trying to spin this as a call for more negotiation.

Human's racial bonus is actually useful on hard+!
Namutree replied to mrmonocle's topic in Backer Beta Discussion
What the heck are you guys doing that 20 seconds worth of base time isn't enough to help swing fights? Fighting Spirit isn't head and shoulders over other racials, but it's pretty nice on monks since they can serve as tanky dps who can convert incoming damage into crowd control, so getting knocked down to half health often doesn't necessarily mean they have to retreat to the back lines. And seriously, you think the dwarf bonus is better? Really, guy? Really? Is it 20 seconds now? It's still listed as 5 seconds on the wiki. That said, most of my melee rarely get down to 50% endurance, and I'd rather have something making it less likely for that to happen than something that requires it happen. The wiki is worthless. -
I just want art that's pleasant to look at. I remember this one artist who used to be on public tv (he died of aids sadly ) would draw beautiful pictures in like ten minuets. That guy was awesome... No more happy trees to drawn by him now that he's dead...

This is the part I liked. I honestly don't see this as forced diversity. If I read it correctly at least. Maybe you noticed something I didn't, but I never read any part saying there should be POC in the game.

Don't blame you for not wanting to watch it. It's long and kinda boring. At any rate it literally shows game journalists using the study as a framework for how the gamer, "identity" should be treated. The study itself is unreliable; I was skeptical of it's conclusions the moment I saw it. That wasn't really the point though.

It's worth pointing out that the IE games also had a lot of quest XP (where each person got the same amount), so it wasn't a full 600% boost. Not so much in BG1. -

Considering in the IE games your experience is divided between each party member this new xp system is pretty tame. -
Being faster than your foes can make enemies easy to kite. When I solo'ed the beta with a chanter, being faster than all but the speediest of foes couldn't touch me while I built up chants. The few enemies who were fast enough to catch up with me were too weak to matter.

War with Iran is not politically viable. They won't try it. Put your fears to rest.
-
One would have to be pretty dense to think that women in the illegal sex trade industry wouldn't be the victims of rape and violence. I don't think anyone is denying that. Especially since a lot of those women are straight up slaves.
-
Now I feel left out. T_T I put you in at first, but edited you out cuz' they're usually more hostile to bruce than you.
-
They don't have to be for war with Iran. They can just ignore what he said. I think you are overestimating the importance of this speech and the republican reaction to it. They just want to be seen as pro-Israel as possible. Most of them know better than to start a war with Iran.

I know that it's kool to hate on Bioware, but I think DA:I is the best they've done since Baldur's Gate. The kind of pseudo open-world style they use is fairly reminiscent of BG games, and while there is some filler... well... only at the same level as BG had. And considering it (finally) introduced the tactical combat to console, it's by far the best console effort they've made. The same level of filler as BG? The game requires you to do completely unrelated side quests in order to continue the main story. This is not the case in BG.

We'll see if Obsidian overpriced PoE based on it's sales. If people are willing to buy it at it's current price; then it isn't overpriced.

"Obama is so stupid, elect me as God-Emporor and I will do this within a year." Not sure how realistic your idea is, but I liked this line and your confidence. EDIT: For some reason my posting box is all white and generally messed up. It seems I couldn't quote you properly.

I'm playing Smash Bros Wii U on my game pad while I'm on these forums.

That makes no sense at all. Why Kickstart a successor to a game that is not even out yet? He doesn't think PoE will be very good.
-
They should definitely do a kickstarter for PoE2. All I care about is getting a great game. I don't care if "Obsidian is being greedy". They're a freakin' business; they're supposed to be greedy.

Rand Paul is running for president. He's pandering. Expect more pandering until he wins the republican nomination or fails to obtain it.
