one time i rolled a d20 and got a 14

Holy shit. Wow, indeed. I never would've expected it to be this cheap.

divinity original sin is a great gameplay game with an okay story but it's a REALLY great gameplay game

The big new update is real rad, imo. Adds a lot of cool fun stuff. Messenger Miis being my fav addition. :3

hahaha wow

lol what

young justice was pretty great, and i'm completely surprised it's coming back, although they have been trying basically ever since it got cancelled

props on the googly eyes my dude!!!!!

OH MAN. I love Anodyne so much. I try to sell it to people all the time but they never listen. ): I had no idea about their new game existing. I will be playing it as soon as I possibly can! (I was hoping that'd be today but it's not actually out yet!)

I loved Breaking Bad but also found it exhausting at the same time. I also think people who would put it on the same level as The Wire are babonkabonk.

Oh wow, if you'd asked me before now, I would've sworn I'd never seen Return to Oz, but I have distinct memories of those wheelers giving me fucking nightmares for real. SHUDDER!!! Guess I need to watch the movie now. EESH!!!

As Dinos said, I also think the reporting was... less than stellar. And, I think there were some people jumping on otherwise innocuous things, trying to interpret intention from things that were obviously just ways of making the code less cumbersome. For example, the "no straight women" is kind of actually just "all women have a chance of being attracted to another woman", because he doesn't track the state of individual people in the game. A technical choice, rather than a design choice, in my opinion, and a technical choice I'd almost certainly make myself if I didn't want to have to store every single pawns' personality traits to the minutest detail. I think it's easy to see numbers as cold representations of worldview, but that's not always the case. Especially when programming simulations! The saddest part to me is it really does seem like the guy was trying to do his due diligence. He just fell short at properly thinking about WHY the data he was looking at might be skewed, or why his anecdotal experiences might not be representative of the whole. Or, hell, why the data he has would almost certainly not be representative of a future society where gay rights and how society thinks about homosexuality have probably evolved far beyond what they are now... Better to err on the side of utopia than dystopia unless you're actually trying to say something - which he's obviously not. Claiming that he's attempting to represent a broken society is all well and good, but there's nothing about the game that suggests that beyond the desperate survival aspects. In other words, as far as I can tell, the problem with his implementation doesn't seem to be malice, but rather ignorance. The problem with his reaction is, well, self-explanatory. If he had just been less DEFENSIVE I don't think this would even be a big deal. "Oh, you're right, I suppose I didn't think about WHY the data I looked at is the way it is! I'll take some time to rework this to be more balanced later on." Guy makes mistake, guy learns. And yet... C'est la vie.

Cool. I think it's unlikely it'll come to Mac, as IIRC it is made in XNA (?!!!). It's unfortunate, but hilariously apt, considering the time it began its development.

that's definitely jake goddamn

dorftress has gay relationships but it's much rarer than hetero

CQ2 didn't add anything new, mechanics wise... I think. I just finished it too but it's been a while since I played the first. Tbh I didn't like it as much heh.

~~ THIS IS A NOSTALGIA THREAD ~~ (And Before They Started Stealing Our Money, Those Greedy Indie Devs!!!) Lately I been playin' a bunch of shitty RPG Maker games on Steam, I don't remember how I got them, but I decided to play them. They bad. Some aren't, though! (Last Word is my fav so far, it's a mystery game, where you battle with words, it's not particularly innovative, but it's got a nice flavor to it. Check it out!) Anyway it reminded me of The Olden Days when I was a small child boy without bottomless piles of cash and instead of resorting to DIRTY PIRACY like the REST OF YOU THIEVES (itotallydidittoo) I found myself looking at free games available on the internet! Here's a few I RPG Maker games I remember enjoying the hell out of for reasons.. also one MMF (Multimedia Fusion) game: A Blurred Line - https://rpgmaker.net/games/92/ Big ol' epic sci-fi thing, I don't think I ever beat it, but I defo put some time into it. The Way - http://www.crestfallen.us/ It featured slightly modified stock RPG Maker sprites, and WOW that prerendered art for backgrounds, and the UI during battles was pretty ugly... But the atmosphere at the time really pulled me in. I only ever beat two of the six episodes (the others came out after I'd kinda stopped paying attention to Free Games). NigSek - https://rpgmaker.net/games/100/ Yeah it's a Zelda fan game. And it features traditional JRPG battles, not Zelda style gameplay. Hah! I loved it anyway. It had a progressing timeline, similar to Majora's Mask, but you couldn't rewind!!! Also, honestly, there was no reason it had to be related to Zelda at all, besides some links like the Deku Tree, etc. Could've easily just themed it differently. Obviously a project of passion... I later discovered that SovanJedi posted on GAF and I gushed to him about it one day. And also complained about the game-breaking bug that he never fixed that stopped me from beating the game! Eternal Daughter - http://www.derekyu.com/games.html It's a classic Derek Yu joint!! First time I saw a free game like this and thought "wow, this looks just as good as a REAL game!" Hehe, "real". Anyway, rad. I make no claim that they're actually good, but... I definitely remember liking them at the time. Also maybe a "what was ACTUALLY good from back then??" thread. Help me remember the games of yore. I used to have a giant folder full of them, full of all the games I'd ever played, but it was lost at some point. Weirdly, even though I'm not the kind of person to just keep physical junk around because it means something to me, I'm always super sad when I lose something DIGITAL, because it's basically free to keep that shit! Why do I ever delete it? Just buy another hard drive ya dope! ): Also if anyone can remember the name of a massive database website, it was specifically devoted to Clickteam products, I think, so Klik'n'Play, The Games Factory, Multimedia Fusion... It also definitely had "click" or "klik" in the url somewhere. I'm hoping the website still exists. I'm assuming it doesn't, but... just maybe?? Even in the internet archives?? It'd be cool to revisit that website in some fashion. Maybe find the names of some of those games I used to play. For a period of about a year I would download and try literally every single game uploaded to that website. I'm not exaggerating. I even went through the entire archive up to that point, too, and then kept up with releases from there. I'd delete the ones I hated outright, and save the rest. I was obsessive, to say the least. ~~ THIS IS A NOSTALGIA THREAD ~~

no elcor party member, no buy ):<

yeah well gaf banned me for having the gall to not want to murder hello games so Anyway indie games are one thing, and resources for contemporary indie games are fairly easy to find. Resources for older ones, before indie was even a thing? Not so much!

I definitely never even came close to beating Dink Smallwood. I did play a bunch of mods for it? I don't remember any of them being great. I don't even remember Dink Smallwood being great. I just know I loved playing it and I spent a lot of time with it and going back to it now would almost certainly be a mistake.

Sounds good to me!

Ah fair point. The projector bit does seem odd, I agree. I suspect that - if it even shows up outside the patent (I'd be surprised!) - it's not intended to be used like a project in the way people traditionally think of using a projector, but... I mean, who knows. Nintendo's done weirder!

Ick? WONDERFUL! Dual screen is incredible when done well.

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
