Spoken like a Latverian sympathizer.

Better Doom than Dem. As should be obvious, this is a joke.

Sounds like a recipe for "spawn camp the newb zone for lulz", to me... dying over hundred times may take over a hundred hours, but I'd question how much of that would be gameplay. Thing seems like a griefer's wet dream >_>

Still. Giant spider sounds kinda' neat. Dragons capable of crashing and dying would probably be hilarious.

FakeE: Until I looked at them, anyway. Seem to be less "spider" more "xenomorph". Ah well.

Actually, looking at it in general seems like it's a definite case of "many ideas I would find absolutely tortuous to play", so... best of luck, dev team thing.

I... wouldn't make as blanket nor as blunt a statement as our current drug-fried non-native speaking commentator, but it's fairly accurate to note that many (most, iirc) of the major players in the biblical text were, indeed, attributed as exhibiting fairly standard ascetic practices that are very well known to cause serious hallucination. Extended trips into the desert, onto mountains, etc., so forth, so on. Even when the general areas inhabited by people were in fairly good shape, the individuals the stories are told about left those areas and indulged in hardships that are strongly correlated with the human brain doing very odd things.

The folks that wrote the bible were likely in significantly different situations, though, so it's somewhat arguable how meaningful that truth is.

... to add to th'bit above, from my personal interaction with conservative individuals, particularly of the republican bent, I would absolutely expect a major republican politician to say they want to declare war on Islam. I hear it on the ground disturbingly regularly. These are not people that separate islamic radicals from the rest of them, these are people that are perfectly and cheerful content with things like the civilian death toll in afghanistan and iraq because they were muslim. Yes, including the children. Yes, I've heard this explicitly stated. Repeatedly. By a disturbing number of different people. Quite a few of the people the politicians in question are pandering to are not even remotely rational or nuanced on the subject in question. They have been convinced/convinced themselves that all muslims are deserving of death, for whatever reason.

And republican politicians definitely have members among them that are perfectly willing to pander to the point of genocidal insanity.

... if folks actually managed to fight the twitch chat into renaming it from an accidentally racist name, then that has to make twitch plays pokemon some kind of concentrated anti-racism...

Eh... an amazing writer isn't necessarily going to be an amazing roleplayer. Creativity in one realm does not always (often, not even readily) translate into creativity in another. Cooperative storytelling is a pretty different sort of thing than storyboarding, world creation, etc., etc., etc.

It would be neat to see more stuff like that, though. I rather imagine if this thing actually catches on, we'll see an uptick in such.

Last I checked, most of it has to do with diet, general activities, and suchlike. Size, to a certain degree, iirc. It's generally not arbitrary at all, but instead a consequence of their biology and lifestyle. A highly active mammalian carnivore (cats, dogs) is generally not going to have that impressive of a lifespan, ferex.
