    That could actually lead to some cool things down the road.  Of course, it also sounds like it currently can connect to other games, so also shitty hackers. 

     

    From what people have found, it seems like anything the debug mode can do is only present on that player's instance of the game, and you can't really do much (at least in a PVP sense). One of the things it has done is allowed people like Illusorywall to do more digging into the more ambiguous mechanics like miracle resonance and Vagrants.

     

    And there was a brief kerfuffle when Bandai Namco started taking down hosted copies of the debug EXE and the agency they hired to do so accidentally hit DSFix with a takedown as well, but that's been sorted out by now and everything's fine.

    ...Dragon Age: Inquisition has trans characters? Are trans characters in that kind of fantasy fiction even a thing? I wanted to hear way more about that.

     

    There's one major trans character that you can have any amount of real interaction with, but yes. You can talk to him and find out more about his background and how it works in DA:I's setting. I haven't delved into it yet, but I'm pretty sure some sort of magic is involved. One of the writers made a blog post about the creation of that character: http://blog.bioware.com/2014/12/04/building-a-character-cremisius-krem-aclassi/

     

    Sean's comparison/assumption of DA:I and Darks Souls' similarity is one of the few times I've ever reacted out loud when listening to a podcast. "FFF-WHAT?"

    I have a shiny Charizard now! That's 14 perfect/near-perfect shinies that I've bred. I have no idea which one to go for next.

     

    On a related note, does anyone want a Charmander? It took 750 eggs to get that shiny and I still have most of them left. They're all Modest with at least five perfect stats, guaranteed.

     

    You are a cold, calculating machine.

     

    "You want a Charmander? I've got, like, a thousand non-shiny (shudder) rejects sitting around here somewhere. Here, this one has five perfect stats and a Modest personality, and it's female, so it's good for breeding. Wanna get smeared across the floor by a team of perfect shinies battle?"

     

    But you gave me a Meowth, so I think that absolves you of any/everything in my eyes.

    I might be up for trying for Tabula Rasa.

     

    I played the Diamond Heist with my brother a bunch last night, but didn't manage to complete it because it was getting late, and I was getting tired and frustrated. It's a bit like Shadow Raid, in that there's a bunch of things to get and ways to get them, but there are enough guards and civilians around that you have to be very careful or willing to go loud. The final room also has a randomized floor-plate-triggered poison gas trap/alarm thing. Tripped it once when by brother wasn't paying attention and just ran into the room, and a second time when there was a miscommunication about the safe path. And then I gave up because it was late, etc.

    Check out 202-203 for more detailed definitions, but that reads to me like this: Casting time is the actual time it takes to perform whatever ritual you need to do to activate the effect. You are making magical gestures or speaking magical words, but most (mechanically) importantly, maintaining concentration. Duration is how long the actual effect lasts. Prayer of Healing's duration is instantaneous, so its healing effect is fully manifested the moment the casting time completes, as opposed to, say, a Light spell that can be cast quickly (1 action), but provides its effect continuously for an hour before fading out.

    I forgot about Pirate's Curse. I liked Risky's Revenge and then bought the original GBA game on the 3DS Virtual Console, but the controls on that one are a bit fiddly, and I stopped playing it. I think the huge Kickstarter campaign they ran for the newest one overshadowed the fact that there was already a Shantae game in development.

    I was having similar problems with a GTX 650, and the in-game benchmark showed almost no change between highest and lowest settings. I just upgraded to a GTX 750, and got a bump of about 15 fps.

     

    I also recommend checking out the PC Gaming Wiki for any game release. It usually takes a few days for people to update it with tweaks and such, but is very useful.

    it's even a porn magazine, for fuck's sake

     Maybe he's eating it for the articles.

     

    In all seriousness, seeing that the intent has been explicitly stated by Ridley Scott does make it come off as tone-deaf, even if it was done in ignorance. If the devs really do care about the source material as much as they seem to, it's weird that they would just sort of paper over it for some sort of strange fan service.
