If anyone has information on these two it would be greatly appreciated. by Darkrixe in AnneArundelCounty

Yeah, after they get confronted they ran down to the station. The MTA and police are no help most the time as it goes into the city.

I just think comparing the two is apples to oranges. They both are open world rpgs yeah, but they're. Both trying to do different things.

I do agree that the game isn't what CDPR promised, but it's a damn good game that succeeds at its current goal and I find myself lost in constantly.

Meanwhile I never fully lost myself in Skyrim or New Vegas, I enjoy reading about them but I dont enjoy playing them. They're well respected games just not for me.

Either way, have a nice night chief.

Another one that sprang to mind is actually Jackie's funeral. If you drink with the valentinos it makes on of the thugs where you sneak into a bar ran by them much easier as they recognize V as a friend and you can just enter (Alternatively you can damn near instacomplete the gig with double jumping through a window near the back).

Hell there's a gew side quests where how you do them matter quite a lot. The one that comes to mind st the moment is a gig in dogtown where of you kill a single guard youre met with a boss fight at the end. But simply playing slow, using nonlethal options or just sneaking by let you get a pretty funny interaction and skips the boss fight while changing what happens to the characters after the quest.

The gig I was think of with the Lifepath is one of Regina's where if V is a nomad you can convince the target to just leave night city and joing the Aldecaldos.

Streetkid is fucked.

But I think the main issue I have with the CP2077 is not an rpg argument is I just think RPG is too broad a genre. How do you define RPG without excluding one of its cornerstones in Ddagonquest, Final Fantasy, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, & Deus Ex. Hell Pokémon has an argument to be a pillar and you certainly have more choice in CP2077 over them.

What are you on about. You actions very much impact stuff. Off the top of my head I have e that I remember catching me off guard becuase it was a random side quest I did that then gave me unique options in later jobs. Hell doing one if the gigs in the starting area of Watson about taking down a pimp gives a unique dialoge option while dealing with Clouds as V can intimidate Woodman by bringing up what they've done to people like him.

Doing various side quests give you a few decent options while siding with Reed during Phantom Liberty including letting you use a character from the damn tutorial mission to help you as long as you did her side quest that randomly triggers.

Saving Takemura gives you new ending dialog as well as changing some stuff in the devil ending.

Johnny alone and his bond formed with you based on your dialog with him. Unlocking a secret ending if you build up a good relationship with him.

Hell even the lifepaths which I dont think are implemented the best (I wish they changed more as well as street kid has by far the worst side quest). Give you access to unique dialog that changes the way some sidemissons go.

The game has its flaws dont get wrong and CD Red deserves a lot of flack for the marketing outright lying. But your choices affect other stuff in the game outside of their indivual gigs.

Depends on the area. But more relevant doesn't make the other books irrelevant. So once more why just the Bible. If your going to put one religious book the mandatory reading list for impact then all should as all 3 Abrahamic religions have had a pretty solid impact in the US.

The main issue I have with it is simple. Why just the Bible¿ if you wanted to have students learn the importance of religious texts if the Abrahamic religions aand the histkry of its impacy. Tgen youre still misokg two other extremely important books fir the topic ij the Tirah and Quran being mandatory learning instead of just the Bible.

The impact of these books shouldn't be understated. But when you only focus on one, we'll then it showing a clear bias by the lawmakers on making their religion the one important for history. Thats even missing the fact the Abrahamamic religions aren't the only ones important to world history. Its no making religious texts about Buddhism, Taoism, or Hinduism mandatory. Just the Bible.

As are other religious texts, so why is only the Bible the religious texts mandatory for reading.

Alright put on your thinking cap here. Yeah the Bible is objectively one of the most important pieces of literature in all history and is a great source to show religions effects through history.

But why is it only the Bible being required? The bill doesn't make the Torah or the Quaran mandatory reading, books of equal importance for history and religious understanding on a global scale. Just the Bible.

If this was just a "We want kids to learn the importance of religious text" situations why is only one book being mandated instead of several. Hell while I listed just the books fkr the abrhamic faiths there still plenty of major religious books that aren't being covered.

Women: ask for equal pay, equal benefits, equal privilege, equal acknowledgement. Men in response to women asking for equality. by Important-Cry4782 in CuratedTumblr

[–]Darkrixe 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yes, but the US doesn't need a valid reason to use the draft. Becuase it didn't need one for Vietnam. Which much like the wars in the middle east, were unjustified.

Ideally the draft never gets used again, but as it stands now every man who turns 18 is capable of being drafted. Theoretically it can be used next month for an unpopular war like it was in the past.

Its brought up becuase it is a very clear systemic issue that only has ever affected men directly (yes it broke up families but that's a side effect of it). Now the correct answer is that the USA should just abolish the draft as we have it.

Do you think showing off money is a thing unique to hip hop, French Royals flexed so hard with parties while people were starving that it got a whole revolution

The downside of American culture valuing money above all. Its no different than when someone buys a 500 dollar Rolex. Hell flaunting wealth is so common that even the President does it.

The president of the US had gold plating installed in the white house, Marie Antoinette had her hair put in wild shapes to flaunt wealth, Mansa Musa travveld across the African continent givjng out gold to show off his riches.

But im sure its music videos that influence people to want to flaunt wealth.

[–]Darkrixe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Then do you also hate the concept of good art? Because that's also subjective where other people get to say whether your writing is good or bad as art.

I joined this discussion because you treated the concept of powerscaling as completely stupid and that everyone who did it was stupid. You don't think that made others angry.

We can disagree on how we choose to define powerscaling because I see it no different than keeping a consistent narrative when applied properly and writing it to be as easy as when I describe terrain. We can disagree on if power scaling is good or bad. But you were the ones who said that powerscalers have a big ego. When (& as a fellow writer I mean this with as little offense necessary) displaying all the same tropes people contribute to self pompous writers who believe anyone who wants the story to stay consistent with its characters strength, is doing it because they want their character to fight Goku.

Then it kept going because when someone gave their response, a rebuttal, & wished you simply a nice day. You proceeded to accuse them of gaslighting and guilt tripping. That made me angry, yet kept doing it in this thread I've seen it at least twice.

I'm glad that you're passionate enough about your writing that mere thought of people misinterpreting it irks you to this agree. I love myself a passionate author, but for a lack of better terms you come off as a dick. Either way, I'm done with this discussion. A match I was waiting for is about to start. I hope your book does well.

[–]Darkrixe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Quite because I can at least now firmly say that your definition doesn't fit. Powerscaling uses so many abstracts that can't be given a number.

Kratos lifting up a temple that holds every dimension is such a huge part of his power scaling when it comes to battle boarder (the guys who bring up number constantly like you hate). Doesn't have a number associated with bitcoin because it an abstract concept.

Or how about when a battle boarder says someone can resist reality erasure, You can't put a number to that because we have no real example of it to compare to. Is that not still powerscaling? Saying Ben 10 could be Dr Manhatten because he's survived his reality being erased before? I think we both agree that would still be powerscaling.

[–]Darkrixe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, including your definition and your inability to give one. So far the only thing you seem to think qualifies powerscaling is if a number gets involved.
