    when i see stuff like this and see people respond with things along the lines of "they should have respected the authority of an officer" it scares me, because i feel those people are excusing an abusive system enforcing their rights with excessive violence on the public (which they are also part of).

     

    but i know that if the victim was white, most of these people would be saying different things. 

     

    Sometimes I feel Americans really want to live in a wild west/hollywood power fantasy...but thats another topic for another thread.

    i love this game, because its the type of game that makes me zone out in a good way. The music, the general ease, the relaxing visuals....it takes me to a happy place where i can chill with my power animal and a martini. No other game has ever relaxed me as much as Thomas was alone.

    Played a fair amount of this game over the past week. It is definitely better in MP, and esp. with people you know.

     

    Havent quite reached the end of the episode yet, but I feel the cast missed a few things. 

    For example, you can cast perils straight onto characters and they will trigger instantly.

    The card that incites rebellions in towns can remove gold income from a player, but you can also cast it on a nearby town and get prestige for "saving" it (IIRC) 

     

    I did feel that a lot of the cards were useless until I played more games and found some nice uses. The game is kind of random though, and it is hard to plan for any end game win condition until the first few turns, particularly if you want to go for the rot win condition

    I might pick it up, have both shadowrun and dragonfall, but I have to replay dragonfall now with the new(ish) edition just to get the achievements. 

     

    But i feel the main reason I would be getting Hon Kong is for the assets to use in the editor, for that campaign i always start, never finish, scrap, rinse, repeat.

    btw, in Swedish, the word for no is "nej", kinda pronounced like neigh, the sound horses make, but less whinny, or something. Also, whats up with all the detective games? I am so behind on my backlog its not even funny. Third, there was something else i was gonna say and i tried to remember it while listening on the tram, but have since forgotten it.

    I've had a pretty rough two months. My f2f and best friend left our flat and relationship. One of those it's not you it's me things. She started sleeping around including with one if my good friends, who she made out with and crushed on when we were dating. It came out of nowhere

    As an expat in a country where I can barely speak the language, a family who are too wrapped up in their own issues, no real home to go back to, a diminished social circle, a flat I can barely afford, and job where we are all still faking it till we make it,I feel like I lost the only constant thing in my life.

    Of course we still talk all the time and occasionally booty call each other. Because I'm afraid of losing this connection, and I'm dumb.

    In relation to that, I have become seriously depressed. I'm seeing a therapist for the first time in my life next week.

    One thing that I keep getting really confused by in this game is the direction that various sounds are coming from. I am playing with headphones on and I keep hearing sounds that seem to come from behind me but when I turn around, nobody is there. I've noticed it with brush fires too where I am watching shit burn and start to hear a burning sound that I swear is coming from behind my character. But every time I turn around there is nothing there. Has anyone else noticed this with this game or am I just crazy?

     

    cant say i have experienced it :( but i don't think you are crazy

    thanks for the suggestions tabacco and CLW, came out great! Now i only have 8 bulbs to go :) 

     

    Dewar, that sounds like how we eat steak tartar! (plus goat cheese) gonna try that but I feel like I will burn it!

    Started listening to Daft Souls on account of someone's recommendation on these boards...top notch.

     

    And yea, Justice Points is great. I replaced Giantbomb with it in my weekly podcast rotation. Really enjoy the different perspective and I really like it also because its not a show that just seems to dump on games (i felt giantbomb was like that on the whole) but also gets passionate about the good parts / parts you guys like.

    I really enjoy when you tweet about older episodes! I like being reminded of some of that stuff.

     

     

    same here, since it makes me remember when i deep dove into the backlog to catch up. It just throws me off because I seem to always get these tweets the night before a new episode is released :-D

    Got 2 sandwhich bags of organic farm grown garlic, meaning it will probably not hold for a long time. It is a substantial amount. Any good ideas of how to get through it quickly before it all goes bad? I dont mind if it gives me bad breath.

    Everytime Apple Cider posts about something awesome she heard on Idle Thumbs on a Wednesday night I always get jealous and confused because I think you have super secret access to the casts before they go up. until I realize you are posting about old episodes.

     

     

    @pzgear here which is a craptastic name but I blanked and i hatemakingusernames

    I would also recommend not using the dlc weapons (incendiary crossbow and silenced shotgun), they are kind of overpowered compared to the regular ones. 

     

    is that the crossbow whose bolts explode on impact? I love that gun... and yea it makes some things pretty easy, even though you only have 3 bolts for it

    our cat got diagnosed with a minor eye infection so now we have to apply drops to her eyes daily. She hates it. 

    any tips for applying eye drops to a skittish cat who is wary of people?

    I think the save points are a carry over from when it was only on early consoles, to save disc space or something.... i dont know but they are not necessary. I suggested to turn the music off, not because I think its bad, but because it kind of ramps up when you get into combat and I didn't like it. Having just the ambient sound made it more enjoyable for me.

    I absolutely loved Hotline Miami, but Chris's video kind of made me not want to buy it, or at least wait a long time. Mostly because it seems the levels are much longer, and in particular, the story is explained a bit too much. I spoiled myself nad watched a 30 min video on explaining the story of HM2, and ehhh, i feel it would kill part of the magic of the first one for me.

    Edit: Also interesting that I'm way more, erm, 'polite' in this particular forum than elsewhere, almost to the point of wondering if I'm being disingenuous.  Just interesting to note if I'm simply tip-toeing for approval here, which is interesting because I get the feeling that most people here are white (based on few occasions when users identified their gender and race, nothing else), yet when I'm with my RL buddies (mostly dark skin hispanics and blacks from minimum wage class) all of us, including I, are not shy of all sorts of slurs that wouldn't go well online in general (which I get somewhat because there is a huge difference with same word in who speaks in what way and where)...

     

    It's like I'm more cautious to not be labeled as racist by online groups than real life minority friends I hang with (reluctant to label myself as minority because most of racism I get ends up being 'positive') because I sense much more strict behavior code.  How strange and interesting!

     

     

    Im sure there is a more "proper" term but i dont remember, but i think its tied to communities. Communication in certain communities is ok while it is not in others, where there are different rules or you don't belong (or belong as much). An online community is much broader potentially and anonymous than a close knit personal community of you and your friends. In your friend community the rules are much clearer in how you speak, what you say, how you say it, what words, etc. etc. 

     

    Which is why they don't think you are racist even though you might use slurs because it is accepted and within that community have different meaning. If someone from outside the community uses those same slurs in the same context and with the same intended meaning, it would most likely be offensive because they are not a part of your community.

     

    Kind of like certain gestures have different meaning in the US and UK. 

     

    A possible reason you might feel that there is a stricter moral code online is because the rules have not been defined, or are not easily identifiable. Going through these forums to figure out what is accepted and not would take much longer than hanging out with a group of people at a bar. 

     

    but yes, it is very interesting :)
