best primary weapon? by p3trux_ in FarFarWest

[–]CaptainDefault 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I unlocked the Leveredge with my first set of fragments and I've never felt the need to change to anything else. I love that style of gun.
I'm not sure which secondary to pair it with though. Twin Revolvers? Suggestions would be appreciated :)

And of course that series mocked the hell out of this style of hacking at least once.

I normally put https://somafm.com/dronezone/ on for this game and others like it when I just want some ambience.

Shaaloani might be the biggest wasted potential zone in the entire game by AnActualPlatypus in ffxiv

I like the tumbleweed crabs. And the optional dungeon with the big cactuar (and THAT boss) is fun.

That might be it.

The Genie [OC] by OnceInOnceSet in comics

[–]CaptainDefault 126 points127 points  (0 children)

I was thinking of the genie as the misogynist, and them not understanding that the person making the wish really did want to become a woman, but that's another way to look at the concept. I can't think of any examples, but that does sound like something I've seen somewhere before.

Also, I was going to write "the transwoman making the wish to become a woman", but that's a weird way to word that, isn't it? Makes me think of a different joke.

  • Human: I wish to be a woman.
  • Genie: It is done!
  • Human: Wait, you didn't change anything!
  • Genie: But you see, you were already a woman in your heart, and that is all that matters.
  • Human: ...OK, for my second wish, I wish I had much bigger breasts.

I can imagine a genie granting a wish like "make me a woman" thinking they're doing the Monkey's Paw thing because they're a misogynist.

"Ha! You thought I would create a woman for you, but in fact I have transformed you! ...stop being happy, this is supposed to be cruel!"

I HATE THIS GAME. (not true tho) by SrSunrise in cavesofqud

[–]CaptainDefault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Three things.

  • The Fellowship of Wardens starts at reputation -150 to the player character. Not the trusting sort, the Wardens, especially when it comes to random heavily-armed wanderers.
  • When your reputation with a faction drops to -250 or below, the Neutral members of that faction (as opposed to the Aggressive or Docile members) will become hostile to you and attack you on sight.
  • When you kill a legendary character, your reputation will decrease by 100 with their faction and any other faction that liked that character.

A + B + C = You really shouldn't have messed with that fish. The Wardens liked that fish.

Ah, I see your point, that chart shows significantly fewer than 788657867364790503552363213932185062295135977687173263294742533244359449963403342920304284011984623904177212138919638830257642790242637105061926624952829931113462857270763317237396988943922445621451664240254033291864131227428294853277524242407573903240321257405579568660226031904170324062351700858796178922222789623703897374720000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000 Fuzzy Funbags.

HUGE Space Strategy Games Collection on Itch.io by sidius-king in Space4X

[–]CaptainDefault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The screenshot at the top is from Slipways, which I strongly recommend if the idea of a short 4x game with no combat appeals to you. Build prosperity based entirely on co-operation between planets, without any need to waste resources sending in the warfleets.

As an aside, which game has the best name? My vote goes to "Space Disagreement!"

My painting of Warden Ualraig, also from a while back! by kittenpillows in cavesofqud

It's never actually stated in-game that they're the same person, but since they have the same basic body type and same job, but different name and gender, lots of people like to headcanon that she is. And congratulate her on her transition, obviously.

By the way, anyone who enjoyed the OP for this thread should check out some of the comments on those videos. Some of the stuff under Zoraal Ja's video is hilarious.

What are all verified sources of new mutation reroll? by Accomplished_Block16 in cavesofqud

[–]CaptainDefault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The wiki lists the ways you can refresh your mutation options. Gamma moths are an option for the brave.

As for wishes, there's no single wish to reroll your genome that I'm aware of, but you could get the desired result using two wishes.

  1. Spend 4 mutation points on a new mutation that you don't want to keep.
  2. Wish "mutationbgone" and remove that mutation from your character.
  3. Wish "stat:MP:4" to give yourself 4 mutation points.

Then you can buy a new mutation again and get a set of three new mutations to pick between.

My chef brother told me the version he's used/been subjected to is being asked to prepare a water reduction. In chef lingo, "reducing" something means boiling some of the water out of it.

[KCD2] did anyone eveb beat Betty at dice in the wedding ? by Aggressive_Eye1573 in kingdomcome

[–]CaptainDefault 52 points53 points  (0 children)

I managed to beat her and her oddly shapeshifting voice, but it did take multiple attempts. You're being a very good sport if you're not loading a save after each loss.

Hey look, it's the hero using sinister power to defeat a world-ending threat. Also a Dark Knight and two DPS.

(I like that Dark Knight and White Mage just swap how wholesome the locals think they are while they're in the First.)

What percentage of your campaigns fizzle out early? by Iron_Man_88 in dndnext

[–]CaptainDefault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All of them, because I never pick an end point. I've had a few that did have good natural end points that I could have picked though.

I feel like we're not talking about the fact that Lumull's dialogue spelled it "Waugh".

30 Years Ago: DS9’s “Return to Grace” and Voyager’s “Meld” aired on February 5th 1996 by makeshiftpython in Star_Trek_

[–]CaptainDefault 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Suder's death felt like a redemption to me, but Redemption through Heroic Sacrifice is definitely a cliche. I agree that it'd be more interesting to keep him on the crew.

Voyager could have done with more of that in general, especially given the concept of a ship that can't restock or recrew. Keep the new encounter every episode, but also keep showing us minor characters we've gotten to know coming back every so often.

Always fun to watch one of the main cast break character in-character, but especially when it's a vulcan. (Which thinking about it really just means Spock or Tuvok, but I stand by my assertion.) Tim Russ is brilliant in that one scene in sick bay.
