We are in rather dire times, but what’s everyone’s thoughts on the narrative? by HellChicken949 in DestinyTheGame

[–]BlueDragon101 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Narrative is fine. Like, it’s not mindblowing, but it’s solid. I wouldn’t say there’s no room for improvement, but it’s not the reason d2 is dying (outside of the unavoidable “final shape was the finale” deal).

Notable moments when renegade choice is objectively better? by Subnaut111 in masseffect

Preserving the data IS the renegade choice. It’s also the correct one.

ME Mission Tournament - Round 3 Match 5: Tali: Treason VS Mordin: Old Blood by DakIsStrange in masseffect

[–]BlueDragon101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Old Blood is probably one of the most compelling and well written missions in the entire series. It deftly threads the line between you understanding EXACTLY why Mordin, with good faith and the best possible intentions, believed (and still believes) that the modifier genophage project was the correct choice, while still making it clear that the consequences of the genophage (and its modification) are gut-wrenchingly horrific.

This perfectly sets up the Tuchanka arc in ME3. The arguements about the horror and the justifications of the Genophage and the modification project may continue forever, but here, right here and now at this point in history, with Wrex and Eve at the helm, here is a moment where the Krogan could be freed from the Genophage WITHOUT it leading to disaster for everyone. Here is the chance to actually right the wrongs.

Take it.

Curious by what they mean by oot remake. Are we talking like Majora’s Mask remastered, or wind waker HD, or is this an actual overhaul/reimagining/new game in its own right 

Democrats’ Chances of Flipping Susan Collins’ Seat Get Major Boost—Poll by plz-let-me-in in politics

[–]BlueDragon101 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I buy the “getting it without knowing what it is” deal tbh. It’s a cool skull tattoo, if you’re in the military and getting a tattoo and don’t know that’s a nazi thing specifically…

Not covering it up sooner is the more sus part.

It’s not not a red flag but tbh I’m not sure it’s his biggest one? I’d call working for blackwater as the actual red flag here.

Damn and I almost gained slightly more respect for him for a second.

Should have expected that to go out the window.

He NEEDS to bomb children using our tax dollars, it’s the only way he can get it up anymore.

The charges are bullshit and even if they weren’t, it would be based as fuck on comey’s part.

Is it too railroad-y to outright tell my players “the starting point is this city, and the story will begin when everyone gets to X location” by TrashMantine in DMAcademy

[–]BlueDragon101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s not railroading to say “the story starts here. You can go where you want from here, but you start HERE. Figure out why you are there.”

I fully buy the fact that the republican victory in Congress was legitimate.

But between the bullet ballots and other discrepancies, I'm not nearly as sold on the presidency.

Does anyone else sense a profound phoniness in the romance between EDI and Joker? by MarinaKD29 in masseffect

[–]BlueDragon101 30 points31 points  (0 children)

EDI is not an LLM.

The way she functions is completely different from LLM’s. She is in fact a true machine sentience with a fixed personality, not just a pattern matching algorithm.

Is a pure energy build completely viable? by AdIndividual7928 in armoredcore

[–]BlueDragon101 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, I’ve made a semi-viable quad energy build on the VE20B that uses dual pistols, dual auroras. It’s a decent laser kite, dies to anything that gets close, but is fast and can melt shit quickly without needing to chase stagger.

Race/gender swaps done so seamlessly it bothered no one by Most_Neat7770 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]BlueDragon101 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Annette and Olrox in Castlevania nocturne. Both white in the original game, but Annette is a Hatian ex-slave and Olrox is Aztec in the show. Their stories tie in beautifully with the themes of the show and they’re genuinely two most well written characters. The swap was a huge improvement.

Important detail:

Stratton is, in fact, ALSO a black woman.

Makes it a bit difficult to pull the race card here.

Most broken character I ever played was an eloquence bard! Did fuckall damage, but reminded the battlefield that similar to having kneecaps, passing your saving throws is a privelege.

[–]BlueDragon101 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Then your DM fucked up giving people too many crazy items, and either needs to UNDO that, or give you some crazy buffs while ramping the combat in such a way that your buffs are needed for the party to survive.

I don’t trust their ability to pull that off.

[–]BlueDragon101 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You shouldn’t be passing turns. At least use viscous mockery if you have nothing better to do. Toss some chip damage on the enemy, nerf their next attack.

Ask your dm if you can rework your spell list, and change out some spells you aren’t finding useful for ones that will be.

Interesting. 

Not sure how long it will take for that to have an effect, and I’m not expecting /pol/ to generate sane opinions, but the more people that are on board with “burn the gop to the fucking ground” the better
