Jesus christ...

Next topic I really want to see this whole thing slow down. At one point I did enjoy this but after sitting in the GB thread, I see what a thread like this is really supposed to be. I get the whole "glorified chat room mentality" but if you guys are honestly pushing the lewd stuff I'm straight up done.

Yeah I agree about the porn talk. We need to chill out, a lot of the people here don't like it.

As long as we don't post actual porn there should be no danger of getting banned.

So no more lewd? XD

I didn't mind it at first but after a while I slowly started to get more and more uncomfortable.

I think it's impossible to say no more lewd with the amount of people that post here but I'm definitely going to cut down on it and encourage others to do so.

Yeah who would ever post actual porn they must be huge nerds.

Yeah I know it is, but I do hope it really does start to slow down. I know we have had this talk before but it does reach points where I know people actually do get scared off.

Yeah okay, I can agree with that (even though I love it).

In other news, I found out that my assignment is actually due tomorrow which is a big load off my mind as I was only 80% done and looks like shit. Gonna make myself a cuppa and just wind down, this hurried-ness is not good for my health.

OH god I have a paper due tomorrow that I have done nothing on (luckily we have 7 papers and only have to do 5 so I'm skipping this one)

We also have an alternative self portrait due, and I have been so lazy, yesterday I literally just sulked in my bed all day.
 
As shown by OT, lewd doesn't get a topic banned. It would be nice to see cleaner discussions in here.

Also would be nice to see less anime talk, but what the fuck you gonna do.

I'm pretty much going back to ignoring all lewd talk. Anime stuff is pretty much unavoidable at this point, it's like most of the discussion.
And that's the way I like it!

Cut off anime as well and what would we talk about? The Best Friends? Ha!
 
Man, I have all these old timey RPGs that I started, played 2 hours then quit, I wanna go back to them but I'm still paralyzed by character creation min-maxing.

Shadowrun and Dragonfall, Wasteland 2 and Divinity. Ughh. Anybody know a character creator guide for these games?

Torment too!

You literally sulked in your bed? Maybe that means what you're doing is not something you should do.

We're using the same definition of 'sulked' right?

I feel the same way, it's really hard for me to get into those kind of games for that reason.

Oh Pat I wanted to ask you a question: How often do you finish games? You probably gotta play a lot of new things to keep the podcast fresh but sometimes I hear you say "X is pretty good/great/crap/shit" but you don't follow it up the next week (Wasteland 2 being the clearest example)

I will give you some advice for Divinity though, you can't create anything meaningful until you put in a couple of hours. Once you get a handle of the game's systems, you can just restart the game. But the game is pretty good at giving you companions to cover your deficiencies, and you can easily change into different classes (or their skills, discrete classes don't really exist).

Oh I wasn't sulking because of my major more personal problems/having a bad day.

Oh okay. That's fine then, I guess.

For Divinity. And this is for Wasteland 2 Granted, I don't know how good these are, because I don't play old school, table top esque RPGs, but they are better than praying for good stat rolls and what not.

Having one of them lazy days where I'm having a full English for dinner. Couldn't find any bread so McGuyvering this shit with some Waffles.

Nowadays relatively rarely. Something has to really really grab a hold of me for me to finish it.
 
Man Tank controls are so goddamn awkward I'm playing RE3 and when nemesis shows up (by the way is really scary). It's so awkward and you get all tensed up trying to run away from him you die.

I don't like tank controls :(

Tank controls are fine, git gud.

But no seriously tank controls are fine, at least for me, never had too much trouble with it.

With Torment?

I don't think it'll matter too much.

Make sure to read and exhaust dialogue trees though.

Pat, that is a game with a shit ton of dialogue. Most of your combat will be passive/stealth. Be forewarned.

You get used to them, they're really not that bad. Speaking of horror games though, I really need to get back to Evil Within and SH2. Fucking exams are the worst.

I guess so. Speaking of older RPGS, I need to play Fallout & Fallout 2 I bought them on GOG like a year ago, installed them both and never played it.

Out of the ones Pat mentioned I beat Shadowrun Returns and the Dragonfall dlc, but I haven't finished Dragonfall Director/s Cut or Divinity Original Sin. Fun games, though.

I have even better advice. Dump all your points in to Wisdom.

When I showed Fallout to a couple of friends they were completely unintrested in fighting the
rats
after you leave the vault.

At the beginning I was fucking around with my character that I created one that could not fight those mother fuckers. Be careful how you create your character

I'm like two podcasts behind now D: struggling to keep up. Which sucks as I want to hear all the Pat Japan stuff and compare it to my own (and judge it silently)

Tank controls are the best. They take getting used to, but when you do, ooooh, so good. Learning the tiny nuances that let you shave a couple seconds off a speedrun is so satisfying.

That's actually them doing their job. Plus once you get used to them, you actually can play better than with 2D controls, since there's so many camera angle changes. Games like Silent Hill let you choose which type of control you prefer, and the tank controls are basically necessary for that fixed camera style.

Can I ask why last night of all times broke the camel's back with this lewd talk? I agree we need to cut it out, and it's weird it crept back in, but why now?

Glitches said he couldn't take it anymore and said he would leave if we didn't.

I almost forgot SH2 had tank controls, it was really awkward at first, but I got used to it. Its not like I need to pulling off DPs or character action combos to win at that game.

And it didn't seem any worse than usual to me. Nothing said here compared to OT2-3 (unless it was before around 4 am). I mean I think its easy to ignore and it rarely happens except when people get really bored.

You mean using 2D non-tank controls? I've had to get gud at that because of DMC, but I find myself wishing it was tank controls when walking around, though it would ruin combat so whatever.

True, but I'd rather keep the people who dislike it in the thread than not. I care more about having a more robust community than talking about some dumb shit every now and again.

Ah, I forgot about the former. That makes sense.
