  • when does ff15 get good?

    Jump

  • Not OP but overexplaining jokes is my PaSsIoN.

    If you do a raw substitution of Roman numerals for Arabic numerals when writing FF15, you wind up with FFIV. Of course, because of the way Roman numerals work, FFIV ≠ FF15 (as that is properly written as FFXV). Instead, FFIV refers to Final Fantasy 4.

    The joke is that the only way you can make FF15 (or FFXV, if you prefer) good is to misunderstand the numbering and play a different game instead.

    Edit: aw beans someone beat me to it.

  • I get it, context and all, but it's very funny to me that you say you got bummed out by couple seconds of advertising for a cancer drug or treatment interrupting your video of bumbling hack frauds shouting about AIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIDS. Hell, Mike literally can't help but laugh at geriatric women describing their health problems.

  • Having grown up on sci-fi I always knew there would be people who reject robots and AI on a visceral level. I just thought it wouldn't be me.

I am saving SO MUCH TIME by having my vehicle hit schoolchildren on my behalf, I can finally work on engineering the perfect prompt to generate images of the kids all black Antifa uniforms, so people can tell that they were asking for it by how they were dressed.. Modern problems, modern solutions! Now, if only I could get Grok to stop making the kids' outfits so sexy...

  • What’s the most unhinged thing someone’s ever told you?

    Jump

  • Sympathies. That tightrope walk of dealing with someone who is misinformed but not malicious is tough. It's important to challenge them, but not so stridently as to teach them not to engage with you, as you don't want them to retreat further into that space. I wish I were more successful at it, but my mouth tends to outrun my brain. How did your colleague react to that reality check?

  • It's been several years since I read it, so I'm fuzzy on the exact characterizations, but the notion the author seems to lean into is that most bassists are (as you say) nerds who aren't interested in the spotlight, but they provide a fundamental bridge between melody and rhythm that enhances the other performers without necessarily standing out on its own. Meanwhile, the "drummer" character in this book is less Ringo Star and much more Jon Bonham or Neil Peart. He's got, if not an active desire, at least no aversion to the spotlight.

    Of course exceptions to every stereotype exist, and there's a very valid argument to be made that a rock drummer ought to be the archetypical support class, but the division of stereotypes made sense to me while reading.

  • Meeting

    Jump

  • Oooo! Reading recommendation for you, if you're not aware of the title: Kings of the Wyld by Nicholas Eames. The author said that he envisioned the various roles musicians tend to take in a band, and he mapped those stereotypes onto an adventuring party. So, the hot-headed character wielding an enchanted axe is the lead guitarist, the sword and board tank is a bassist, the rogue dual-wielding daggers is a drummer, the mage is a keyboard/synth player, and so on. The conceit is moreso for flavor and world-building than actual plot motivation, so these analogies aren't necessarily explicit, but it's still a fun set of character dynamics to hang an adventure story on.

  • You would take this frozen juice concentrate, mix this with copious amounts of whiskey, and then set it in the freezer. Because of the high alcohol content, it would not freeze like regular liquid. This was in anticipation of a family get-together around the 4th of July. Without judicious monitoring, the adult men would drink all of the punch before it was ready to be served.

  • Idk man, could be I'm just projecting on you conversations I've had with myself, but fondly remembering the sense of discovery you had with the Infinity Engine games while being sour on BG3 because it was "spoiled" for you seems like it has a lot more to do with your sense of nostalgia than any rational critique. Don't get me wrong, I'm the sorta person who will break out my soapbox to yell about Morrowind's virtues vs Oblivion or Skyrim, and I've also attempted to cajole several friends into giving BG1 a shot in the lead up to and wake of BG3's release, so I'm sympathetic to your broader point. I just think, unless you've been out here reading reviews, watching Let's Plays, opening discussion threads, and sucking down all in-house marketing Larian did, you vastly overestimate how much of the game is spoiled for you. And, frankly, if you've been doing all of those things, then the real culprit is how you spend your time online, not being online in and of itself.

    Besides, the game is massive. Even watching multiple Let's Plays of Act 1 would still leave room for discovery, simply because there are so many paths to pursue, many of them mutually exclusive. Hell, my big critique of the game is that I find the plethora of choices to be overwhelming, as I'm the sort that likes to consume all content in a single playthrough, and that's literally impossible.
