Alls I know is, the minute I ever try to bot I'll get immediately banned

Italy strikes me as a place where people have tons of sex and their culture is just very sex-oriented in general. Young people especially just bang all the time. Orgies are popular, public nudity, half the outdoor statues of women have a breast hanging out. Italian women are said to be wild too...

I think Omuamua was probably the best candidate for a mothership fly-by that we've seen in our lifetimes. *waits for someone to pop up and "acktually" this* UFOs and their pilots might well be silicon-based. Hell they could all be clones of some source entity. Being silicon-based would explain...

"Inexplicably" So many places in the world have "lan" at the end of their name because it originally meant "land". Like as suffixes "ton" is "town" and "ham" is "hamlet" Catalan/Cataluna/Catalunya/Catalonia has gone through a number of names. It's really tiresome speculating on hints like...

Questions: Is there any particular reason to get Arcanum on GOG rather than getting a physical copy? Saw it for $10 complete in a store and got it. In my CRPG list notes I wrote that I need a patch for it that's in this thread somewhere, so I'll make sure to get that, not sure if it's a GOG...

Really good watch. Never saw the show.

Wow that was terrible. "Can I kick it" over and over for the entire trailer. Like something a committee of stuffy corporate people thinks is "street" Is Donatello female now? The missing tooth, braces, and glasses are...not cool? As someone who has had two out of three of those at multiple...

BG3 is today? Damn, I thought it was at the end of the month. And I've got the day off too. Well, doesn't matter, I wanted to do the CRPGs on the list in a somewhat chronological way, especially Divinity before BG3, and I haven't even gotten to PoE yet might less DOS. Maybe I should have just...

...I don't get it. I see an Italy flag so I'm guessing this has something to do with Tifa being popular in Italy? (Which I also don't get and don't know what happened) All I know about hot women in Italian pop culture currently is that there was this hot woman giving out BJs to guys who voted...

Yeah that's more what I was referring to. Mithaniel Marr was a pretty incredible fight when we server first downed it at 55.

I think you're the first person I've seen argue that Japan was strongest (or was stronger than Germany for that matter). Good points though. A lot of people don't know how advanced Japan's navy actually was. They had some really impressive, modern ships. Putting aside how badly it fared...

Poland annexed chunks of Sudetenland? LOL Poland's a big question mark in the current conflict because I'm not sure if they're going to A) Get directly involved in the conflict to make it an active NATO conflict due to being afraid they're next, or B) Jump in and slice off their own piece of...

Yeah same here. I'm probably autistic so I remember every detail about a fair amount of games, movies, and books, while remembering nothing about most others even if I played/saw/read it last month. Actually newer things are especially easy to forget all about. Chrono Trigger is easily the most...

Might be an interesting question for the room: Who do people think was the most powerful country in the world circa 1938? I'm leaning British Empire. Their problem was that their forces were spread out all around the planet, with huge percentages of them parked far away from Europe. Once...

I've read that France was, at the very least, forming contingency plans circa 1936 or so for a fight with the USSR. They seemed to be under the impression that eventually they'd have to deal with Stalin if his sphere expanded. That's part of why I think the USSR and Europe would have eventually...

Yeah that's what I was saying. It seems like the retellings always completely leave out that the USSR was willing to gobble up parts of Europe as well. They even wanted to join the Axis. For the longest time (before I looked into things for myself and just went by mainstream narratives) I was...

Hold on. If there are no schools, where will kids learn about things like picking their gender and supporting the correct ideologies?

If the game were shorter and less of a pain, I'd have loved to replay it and try some other characters. Finished the game with the caster chick and the dwarf but no one else. Kamil + the priest would be good. First time I ever played the game I went with Kamil and Lux and got crushed, so trying...

There's one super-good area to grind job levels in FF5. Wish I could remember exactly where it was. Walse Castle Basement or something like that? You'd get these groups of five enemies over and over that could be one-shotted with the right Blue magic. I know I posted about it earlier in the...

Everyone should see "Come and See". Also "Threads". A few weeks ago during the ZNPP power plant scare, "Threads" was trending worldwide one day, and I was really glad that people were talking about the movie and being aware of what a dangerous situation we were in. Turned out the trending was...

This might actually explain the wild discrepancy between vote turnout in swing state inner cities (Atlanta, Philadelphia, Detroit, Milwaukee) versus most non-swing state inner cities. If Zuckerberg's group was focusing all of their mail-in pushing to the swing states, it could account for them...

If the US government has "12 ships", then that's 12 crashed ships in our sphere of influence since 1930. Plus whatever crashed outside of our sphere of influence and got scooped up by someone else, which basically means... Russia, given the large land mass of Siberia and their sphere of...

Something else that occurred to me yesterday is that Spain for a long time was called Catalan. Atalan. Atlas' Land. It's interesting to me that all of the Atlas-named areas were in either Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, or Spain. Pretty much all in the same grouping. Greeks may have used "Atlas"...

lol Front Mission 2 also got delayed and we still don't have that or System Shock on console and it's August now I went Paladin but if I could do it over I would have gone Berserker most likely. The spells weren't as helpful as I expected and he was sitting at 2 points in weapon proficiencies...

I think that was his second-biggest mistake. His first was rejecting the USSR from joining the Axis. He had no intention of sharing the world with Stalin though or letting Stalin carve off parts of Europe for himself. He saw the USSR as this big threatening bear to the east that had designs on...

I've always been told that Japan had to be nuked solely because "they were willing to fight to the last man". I fully believe they were going to surrender once Russia was in Manchuria, after seeing what Russia did to Germany once troops crossed into it. Japan was in for a world of pain if...

Yeah they'd have to actually create something rather than coasting on the coattails of the previous generation's creations (while destroying half of them). And creating is very hard for these types of ideologues as we know

Whenever someone uses the term "butterface" unironically I just assume the guy is a fucking land whale IRL

Chrono Cross remaster is on sale for like $11 on PSN for the next couple weeks. FYI for anyone who wants to get it. Finally grabbed it even with no plan to play it. At that price, sure. Maybe I'll have my mom over and play some of it, since we were really into it when I was a kid. Crazy how...

Good point. I'm probably better off just playing Morrowind and Oblivion on PC with mods rather than buying a gorram new system for them in five years or something.

Yeah that was pretty honest and upfront. Sometimes you just gotta cut your losses and stop dealing with the headache.

That describes like half the media we're asked to consume these days. High schooler writing, male characters who are all goofy and awkward at all times, female characters who are either "quirky" or stone-cold girlbosses who do everything perfectly. Mostly the male characters have to be super...

That'd be amazing if true, I still haven't played Oblivion or Morrowind. Weird that they'd remake Oblivion first out of the two though. Three even, Skyrim could use that level of update as well. I guess it'd be XBox-only though huh? Damn. Well, if XBox gets Oblivion and Morrowind remakes that'd...

He was on Vaniki before that as well, I get the impression the RI people had moved on from Rampage a while ago. But I don't know. I had a bone to pick with Vicc for bailing on Bind Rush, but at this point it's whatever, in the past.

I know Edge. My actual legit reaction was the HHH/HBK one so I picked that over the easy play on words. Though TBH my real reaction to people saying Japanese people deserved it is probably more like this:

I've noticed a striking uptick in how often I get someone from phone support or a receptionist, especially in our (now super communistic on the sly) "medical community", who can barely understand me and vice versa. Nothing against people who have English as a second language but don't fuckin'...

Watched this to see Dakota Johnson (pretty much will watch her in anything), quickly turned on the movie and basically hate-watched the last 90% of it. This movie really encapsulates everything wrong with our current society and dating system. It means "single" not in the sense of being single...

Said it before, if this was basically the same game but it was Stranger of Paradise 2 and Clive became Emperor Paramekia at the end, it probably would have been perfectly well-recieved by the FF fanbase. They already lifted a bunch of stuff from the FF2 world for this game anyway. Spoilers on...

Probably already posted this, but... stupid fucking Apple billboards with people holding their phone in front of their face. "Privacy, that's iPhone" while you're ostensibly being filmed by some near-sighted dweeb. I feel for the people who live in the buildings across from this billboard and...
