Boycotting this thread now >:c

Yeah...I beat Normal with only two deaths (one a nameless rookie, the other one of my best - ambushed and surrounded by elite mutons. He died like a boss though) and I was pretty terrible at the game. I still have not beaten Classic but its been a long time since I've played. Won't run on my laptop.

I'll throw a +1 towards playing Analogue. It's pretty short and there's a ton of text to read (to be expected from a visual novel), but its good.

Ursa propped himself up as much as he could and glared at the thief.

how about we let people do whatever they want in their fantasies, and for the people who are offended by the others fantasies, we create fantasies that include the lack of existence of the fantasies which offend them on top of what they want to fantasize about?

people are going to want to kill without a second thought because that's what fuels their powertrip. if you want to put an end to that for whichever reason, provide the same people who want a powertrip a better mean of obtaining fuel for it. vOv

Oh you can have whatever fantasies you want; I'm not advocating censorship.

I am going to criticize though. Media is powerful for spreading ideas, and we need to be responsible for what ideas we're presenting. Present whatever you want, but be prepared to defend yourself too.

So much this.

And power fantasies are pretty disgusting, particularly violent ones. That's a level of immaturity we should be trying to move away from, not foster.

Sez the guy with an exploding face from a violent video game as an avatar?

No one cares about the fates of the countless mooks who get killed in the average RTS, save the person controlling those mooks and then only because "aw crap my dudes got killed, gotta make more or I'll lose". So why care when its a power-fantasy game where one dude wipes out a bunch of mooks single-handedly?

Welp. Ursa is slow and has a glass jaw, so that wasn't entirely unexpected. Shame he didn't manage to finish the thief off

((Where did BK4 go? There was nothing in the write-up about it but it has simply disappeared. If it took a turn, it would have taken damage as well. Also, the zone of damage should persist even if the fire dies down, right?))
