I'm sorry. Fallout 4 was complete shit. Gimme a pitchfork so I can sit around complaining too.
You're right
Thank you for enlightening me
I'm sorry, RPG categorization does not make something good/bad
It merely makes something an RPG/not an RPG
Further, something being bad doesn't make it unlikeable. There are a lot of fun "bad" movies/games/etc
I would argue Dynasty Warriors is total dogshit. I still like it anyway
I dunno. I think Fallout 4 was good and I enjoyed it. Sorry
Right but that's not what the topic was.
I also think it's an rpg
It's actually entirely moot. My avoidance of Bethesda games because of their utter lack of Quality Control and publisher-end scumminess is also irrelevant.
Okay, but what makes something an RPG? Better yet, at what point would it no longer be an RPG?
the solar roof is a loser

He wonโt win the dem primary and certainly canโt win the general pissing off both sides with comments like this https://twitter.com/thehill/status/1107069284356894720?s=21
What an idiot
If people already own it responsibly, then why ban it entirely?
Because he wants them gone but doesn't have the guts to confiscate
I fucking hate it when politicians say things like โwe donโt need to sell AR-15s to the public.โ WE donโt you worthless sack of shit. Gun sellers do. And they do because we like buying them. If he were honest heโd say โWe shouldnโt let people sell AR-15s anymoreโ
**How many of these people want to push an anti Garand agenda, considering that is actually a weapon
that was used in armed conflicts around the world last century. It is also semi automatic**
Oh wait, none of them know shit about it. They probably wouldnt recognize it as a semi automatic rifle if you showed them one, and would consider it perfectly okay despite being the same category and a higher caliber
No pistol grip or shoulder thing that goes up. Clearly not an assault weapon. Literally only capable of killing nazis, commies, and deer so it canโt harm people
It can also hurt Koreans and Vietnamese. Clearly dangerous and must be yeeted
Those are the commies I was talking about
I realize that the first amendment exists and applies to everyone and all that, but can we do something to silence the galaxy brains that do shit like calling an AR-15 a 'weapon of war'? I don't think I've ever seen anyone establish so quickly that they don't deserve to be listened to.
Thonk of it as an easy reference to know a person is an idiot
That's true. I wouldn't mind it being a little harder to figure out though.
I'm fairly certain there's almost nothing to be done about it. Comments like that are born purely from ignorance on the mechanics of firearms despite the information being freely available. Or, are made to exploit that ignorance by more malicious actors.
My concept of an RPG is fairly vague, B, but not as vague as others'. A good rule of thumb for me is that, if you can't irreversibly lock yourself into one specialty/build for your character, it's probably not a good RPG
That's not bad.
Bethesda likes to have all characters eventually become the immortal god-emperor with maxxed everything
modern Bethesda, anyway
re: RPGs, I would base it specifically on what the mechanics are meant to represent, which is a character separated from the player's ability to play the game, basically
That's not true at all @C1PHER. How can you max out everything when there are fewer and fewer stats to Max with each entry?
lol ๐ญ lol ๐ญ
You max out all available stats, which are all now based around killing things
hit the attack button for massive damage
That is sad and funny at the same time
That would be close to my definition as well. An RPG is a game where success or failure has more to do with dice rolls than player skill.
Eww.
I actually really like TES3 and KOTOR for that
Relying on dice roll is boring
I hated thay
RNG requires blood sacrifices ๐
Clicking and guaranteeing a hit is predictable
thats fine, but delineation is what makes it an RPG really. Vidya RPGs are an offshoot of D&D
RPGs need to move past dnd roots
Otherwise it's just boring
define "move beyond"
Holy crap. I just realized that by my definition, XCOM is more of an RPG than Dark Souls. I'm actually pretty okay with that.
I could just play Dnd if I wanted to play DnD
you can just play a shooter if you want a shooter
there's no need to "evolve" RPGs into shooters
but shooters are devolving as well
they're in a weird spot right now. I'd argue they had already devolved
but now we're getting some cool shit
Like? I gave up on shooters so have not been following lately
I never said RPGs need to become shooters
a lot of indie titles. Ion Maiden, Dusk, etc
Squad is a good one
sort've not new though
no, I just used shooters as an example because thats the progression for Fallout
from RPG to really simplistic shooter
They gave it more mass appeal. It was a smart move
a smart business move, sure. But that's not what we're talking about
That's right. Your purity tests
Another great argument...
yeah, $$$ != good, fa sho
it's just categorization
similarly, if I talked about my conservative friend, who is an anti constitutional socialist, but they're christian, you'd probably feel like I was taking you for a ride
@wolfman1911 and lol, ive had so many esoteric convos about Dark Souls to the point where people have convinced me not to like it anymore ๐ข
categories are important for conveying information. The more we dilute categories, the worse our ability to convey what it is we want, or dont want
I've never liked the pacing of Soulsborne
Basically the tl;dr that killed my enjoyment is being told they are crappy games with irritating combat to give the impression of difficulty. just fluff and no substance ๐ญ
@RoadtoDawn So am i going to have to convince you to like Dark Souls again? *even tho i've never played any of those games* :)
I dont know that I would go that far
they're games with very specific and interesting design that is somewhat undermined by hitbox and netcode fuckery
They *kinda* have a point. As much as I stan Demons Souls
they're very slow and patience-driven, which isnt really my thing, but there are certainly good design elements
it's just an overhyped franchise, is the main thing
a lot of the visual design is pulled from Berserk, and for whatever reason people have now decided that attack+dodge is a Dark Souls thing
How could you be talked out of liking something
That's insane
because you examine that thing and the bits you ignored start to bother you
Its not hard....
Most people have a game they loved at first when they're young that actually really sucked lol
I've actually been pretty good on that front, for the most part
gone back and played games I remembered being good, and most of em are still good, to the point where I'm having trouble remembering the bad ones I didnt *know* were bad
You have to look at things from the past in the context of a time scale also.
I think certain elements can draw people deep into crappy games
even the games I didnt play (so confirmed no nostalgia goggles) from back in the day still hold up pretty well
it's when things got into the cinematic walking sections era that going back through older titles starts to suck
Conversely, I don't accept 'nostalgia goggles' as valid criticism against people that say they like an old game. Things can just be good in someone's view, people can just like something
I've never thought about it, i wonder if i have a classification for an RPG.
well generally people are talking about something qualitatively. Some people will absolutely forget how awful certain parts of a game were, or have an inflated view of the complexity/depth of the mechanics
but I've also had people tell me I had nostalgia goggles just for saying Older X is better than Newer X, when I played them both in the same year
Or even worse. When you play the older game last, and love the older game more than any other
Short of being afflicted with a rare sort of 6 month nostalgia, I feel comfortable telling them where they can take their adhom :^)
yup, that sort of thing happens too. I suspect it has to do with what your expectations are going in though
Yeah come on, that was half a year ago. This is today. Get with the times and stop living in the past like an old man!
it's also fun telling people about cool shit they didnt know about in games they played ages ago
like when I found out that there were people who didnt strafejump through 90% of Return to Castle Wolfenstein
lol
What blows me away is playing an amazing 20+ year old game for the first time. You 'get' the game because you've played others from the era, so age isn't a problem. It being old, yet fresh and great to play is so surreal
As an aside: I played Dead Space this year for the first time and was very pleased. It's actually a highlight of my year. And that isn't even that old
@RoadtoDawn it's hard to get into something old and the fan base has chilled out but you just want to talk about it. Ive read five out if the six original Dune series and I'm dying to talk and see art about it etc and it's as old as my mom lol
I'll get talked into getting into something, and by the time I'm caught up they've already moved onto something else to be excited about. It's a losing battle with friends lol
Exactly
I love Dead Space. I even liked the third game, even though they did everything they could to make it bad. As much as I hate what EA did to it, I have to appreciate how they ended the series.
Dead Space was a good starting point and it's a shame they didn't take it in the right direction
tbh the regenerator (in 1) should have been a consistent enemy, like Nemesis or Mr X
I don't know, I'm not really one to actually learn how the mechanics work, so the sections with him were super stressful.
I don't know if it would work for the whole game.
thats what I liked - the rest of the game wasnt stressful enough
too often they'd set up a good scare only to blow it early
I dove right into 2 afterwards. I couldn't get into it right away, but only because there were some tweaks to the controls and movement. I'll pick 2 back up soon enough
Lol, I love that NZ gets ranked number 1 in personal freedom
He's facing a pretty harsh prison sentence too, assuming I heard correctly
so many people on facebook posting that its trumps fault for allowing it to happen or the guy was right wing... Im really conisdering just removign my facebook
How on earth is it Trumpโs fault that a guy from Australia did a mass shooting? That is beyond absurd
@Salacious Swanky Cat if you have to ask, you are part of the white problem
Lol
I'm on a discord server where one of the people on it floated the conspiracy that _someone on trump's team set it up as a way to "district" from trump_
people will find ANY reason to blame him for literally fucking anything
Presumably because people believe that Trump is driving the increase in ethnonationalism that this guy subscribed to, instead of the other way around
which I find stupid either way, because Trump's obviously NOT an ethnonationalist
of course, no matter how many times you say that, they don't listen
So Trump isn't Hitler?
Yikes that link...
lol
Either way, it seems like they think this is somehow a top-down motivation. Maybe that's why they want more government control. Hmm...
I posted some screen shots from my Facebook of two people I was friends with...
Ya, so much of that was just nonsense.
(that people sadly believe)
fucking telstra is there anything they do that isn't scummy?
what makes it worse is that telstra are basically state owned (51%)
nice to see them getting ratio'd at least
and notice they don't block facebook where stream came from...
it's not just telstra it seems Optus and Vodafone are too so that's 3 of the biggest here blocking 4chan and 8chan
so looks like zerohedge, voat and liveleak as well
wasn't gab censored in NZ?

news.com.au is the fucking worst, the hell does Milo have to do with this but for some reason he's in the thumbnail
Josh Moon however isn't fucking around
I agree with you guys, but it say it's an amateur and nonsense document not worth reading
NZ is retarded for trying to suppress it
I'm not really one to buy into various conspiracy theories, but the way the media and governments seem to be working together to suppress that moronic manifesto and simultaneously impliment the things he was intending to accomplish sure seems curious.
That said, I don't need conspiracy theories about media and governments being in cahoots with mass shooters, because I have the knowledge that the media and governments are composed of such absolute retards that the shooter was able to read them like a picture book and predict their responses.
Hanlon's razor m8
Elites are seeing what they want to see
i think both parties know exactly what they are doing he knew what they'd do and they know what he wanted he wanted them to do because it's what they want
he was a gift for them
i'd be fully on board for a false flag if i thought they had any competence whatsoever
it's really quite the indictment on the media, not just that he played them and that they were willing to do so but that them doing what they do is accelerating the collapse of society
Bravo kiwi farms
where did men's right come from. I don't think Jordan Peterson calls himself that, and it even says in the article that the actor didn't use those words.
What a trash article. the men's rights thing comes from randos on twitter
Peterson cares about many things men's right's people talk about, he just doesn't call himself one. Which is fine.
^that fair. my point was that the writer inserted that into the article despite it not being something the actor brought up or something peterson calls himself.
Yep.
Its not even trying to be unbiased, as it doesn't have any tweets (like this is somehow a form of gauging what people believe now) from people would like about that "news".
Leading conspiracy theory bit Iโve seen is that New Zealand is the new destination for (((elites))) once US & Europe go fully south. A disarmed populace is more desirable in hard times.
I'm kinda surprised by that story, it seems possible that I read more into Hunnam's personality than was fair based on roles I've seen him in.
He was in this one really shitty independent movie called The Ledge where he played what I can only describe as what all edgy athiest neckbeards see themselves as and the villain was what all edgy athiest neckbeards think Christians are.
He could be a hipster lol
I figured the budget for that movie couldn't possibly be high enough that he did it for the money, and it came out after Sons of Anarchy had been running for a few seasons.
Though I don't know when it was shot.
Men's Rights? Never heard JBP mention anything about men's rights let alone legal policy to equalise things
I think the accusation stems from the fact that he challenges feminist dogma like patriarchy, wage gap, and all difference being all social.
He's mentioned MRAs
The thing that gets me about it though is the association chain
Conflate incels and PUAs with Supreme Gentlemen and other mentally ill outliers
Conflate MRAs with incels and PUAs
Then MRA becomes a wrongthink label you can apply to Peterson
what MRA's has he mentioned?
He's mentioned the things they complain about, mentioning them in the process
It's not a specific namedrop, moreso a movement thing
And yeah, his ideas align with some of MRA/MGtOW philosophy, though many from both groups think he's a shitty tradcon as well
Did anyone watch the film 'The Red Pill'? It was about MRA
Yup. You watch Cassie's YT channel?
Naw, I just want to know how connected redpill and MRA are
I watched it
yeah, I helped fund the movie
got a 1080p d/l for it
It's fellow travelers shit
It's just curious it's called *The* Red Pill
there's the red pill movie, TRP, red pill(the concept)
The red pill is just the saying
People use it for all sorts of shit
It's the original "woke"
TRP often gets conflated with MRA's even though it has nothing to do with each other
Yeah, I guess I'm reading too much into it
Right
It's just that you have a plebbit community named after it too
I didn't know if they were trying to make it their own thing or what
I guess so then lol
r/TRP is basicaly PUA mindset directed to marriage
People try to conflate MRM/MGtOW, r/TRP, PUA, Incel, etc because there's some things sometimes that they sort of agree upon
Meanwhile virtually everyone else on the internet use it differently lol
Seems so
the lingo all falls under the umbrella of the manosphere
It's like trying to say that Hillary is a socialist because she and AOC both want to tax you
Or like that one chart that linked Tim Pool to Richard Spencer
Yep. And Tim Pool was on JRE, and so was Ben. Therefore Richard Spencer has ties to Ben Shapiro
Or like how in glorious socialist USSR where everything was good and perfect, you could get gulag'd for knowing someone as a child who later became a white army traitor, or some other subversive element
๐ค lefties play the same game as the KGB. I wonder why
Mmhm. And I believe we encounter predictive programming in America all the time. But that's another conversation lol
That movie made me super angry.
Especially that guy that said that his wife basically tricked him into knocking her up, and then she took the kid and left.
@Agent Smith Peterson has taking some of the arguments MRA's have been making for years.
Not only that but he has done a few things with the honey badgers (and some other MRAs), and Karen's post about his Kavanaugh tweet was one of the biggest reasons he got to rethink about it more. As well as MRA's/MGTOW has giving him better arguments then he first had about why some men aren't getting married (even if they might want to).
(you should know most of this tho, which is odd to me why you asked)
Peterson is a pick up artist confirmed
actually that would be an interesting question for him, pick up lines and strategies
How about: โIโll slay the dragons in your life to prove my worth for youโ
GTFOH
cunt
fuck that shit
the author thinks that the shooter did this in NZ because of "Australia's strict gun laws"
because New Zealand had absolutely lax gun laws, obviously
are these people really this stupid, or are they intentionally trying to rewrite history at this point?
to the last line, yes
Yup. Theyโve been doing that for decades.
yes and yes
I guess I did already know that there's history rewriting going on
but... it's just hard to believe because of how _blatant_ it is here
then again, I guess a lot of people are going to read this article and never bother to look at australian gun laws vs. NZ ones
^relevant
wait...this site satire?
yeah sancuary 2nd admen cities are popping up. Waiting for some progressive outlet to comment on them..
the by line for that article is Max Headroom...
talk about elected officials not caring
bus of peace?
I canโt get enough of these guys https://twitter.com/extinctionr/status/1108420472046317568?s=21
1. Tell the truth....Their truth...
2. 0 CO2 by 2025....impossible....
3. Citizens assembly...maybe we will call it congress?
They wont even say that India and China are the real problem
well they are having a little trouble getting them on board.....so something something...ecocide......
I like the part about working along side the media to โcommunicateโ with citizens
yeah these guys are a hoot....
Lol. As if the governments already arenโt doing anything
Trump's border wall money may come at expense of schools for military kids https://reut.rs/2FjYGTe
