Oh, meta-humor. Love it!

There is an entire branch of role-playing games these days that argue that balancing is a pointless endeavour, so just make it clear to the players that so and so is gonna kill them if they ain’t careful and let them figure it out. It’s called Old School Renaissance and as a GM, I absolutely love that approach.

Dark Souls is exactly that. You wanna go through that boneyard? The skeletons that one shot you and keep respawning don’t intimidate you? Then fair fucks to you and onward to glory. Otherwise better take the other path or come up with a stratagem.

I used to be on Demonoid and some other JAV trackers but they shut down and I’m too lazy to bother with waiting to join another. Never really was into music enough to track (hah!) a private tracker and honestly I think it’s not in the spirit of torrents. But I appreciate the recommendations nonetheless :)

Given that bears try to stuff themselves as much as possible before winter, you’d think it was quite an attractive feature!

Meanwhile my torrent of Thee Michelle Gun Elephant is stuck at 31.9% because that’s all that’s available.

Story of my life with torrents, really. I just want the old and obscure, the stuff you can’t find anymore. But it always seems to be all about the latest popular shit, sadly.

Cherish that memory Anon!

I’m guessing the most important lesson in such a school is to not get upset when morons start praising God almighty after you saved their loved one in a day long operation or something.

In France you just put a sticker or something on your box saying “no ads” and that’s it, no more ads posted. It really is quite a bunch of paper every week, too!

Disregarding injuries and death

Well, yeah, because that’s an other people’s problem.

That’s what I’ve been calling it for years, funnily. Like, I don’t practice meditation in general, but just letting time pass, chilling out, not focusing on anything to get into a state of mind that lets time flow faster, to me, has always been meditation.

I’m kinda laughing reading about this whole “raw dogging” thing. What a ridiculously macho way of talking about it.

I suppose they could call it “sitting to attention”, maybe? Like a palace guard you know? If they wanted to sound more macho without actually sounding like a creep.

Doesn’t sound too weird to me. In my experience, devs always focus too much on positive / correct inputs, as they want things to work. Which is why you need testers that will catch all the weird crazy ways people can break things. Testers shouldn’t even see the code of it can’t handle nominal cases.

Sometimes the game itself doesn’t really tell you what it is. That’s not completely shocking.

They really didn’t, though. You think the average factory worker was in the stand watching their betters hit those balls? And look at cricket ffs!

I’m guessing he’s asking his fellow dog to chill and not try and bite him. A joke on the fact that dogs chase cyclists.

“Wish for for fuck sake” is definitely how I read it.

I’m genuinely surprised they didn’t go for “Guns R Us”

You didn’t get the memo? Don’t stick your bits in crazy!

Well shit, that brings back memories…

Once you try a mother’s milk, it makes a lot more sense.

Apparently not everybody here lives with women if they think self care doesn’t take fucking ages, let alone looking hot! It’s kinda sad really, not to realise the amount of effort put in.
