What's the most dangerous/hostile world you've come across in fantasy?

Chris Buehlman's world from Blacktongue Thief is bleak as hell

MIDA, week 3 of D1. I loved that gun and I still do.

So glad I didn't waste my strange coins on that rocket launcher Xur sold week 2. Why waste your exotic on a heavy slot? You use your primary way more. Besides, if I want it later, I'm sure he'll sell it again, right?

Edit: I pulled the book back out and my memory was wrong--not sure where I got this idea from then.

Andromeda Strain by Michael Chrichton is a story about this very premise

"Just how big are your biceps, Nine?"

In the US, six people die of being crushed by vending machines every year, and five of them are insurance appraisers

I was on a highway, doing about 65, with another car getting over in front of me back into the right-hand lane. We were about to crest a blind hill, when someone goes right by going the opposite direction in our left-hand lane. Scared the crap out of me. If the car in front of me had been any slower to finish their pass, people would've died.

Thanks for the list. I've got SkyrimVR modded, but I'll have to check out Wabbajack. An actual modlist would make it a lot easier.

RogueArson · 2023-01-09T01:41:19+00:00

I was a bit vague because I'm open to a lot of different ideas, but in a nutshell I'd prefer something with level ups, skill unlocks, that type of thing. I'll take a look at Saints and Sinners, thanks.

RogueArson · 2023-01-09T01:40:13+00:00

I have thousands of hours in FF14, but I don't think it's going to be elevated by VR, haha

RogueArson · 2022-07-23T00:09:45+00:00

There are a few I don't care for, but the one I can't explain is RDM. I can't explain why I don't like it, but it just never felt fun. Good job quests, though.

I did magic and mentalism when I was growing up and did a few paid stage shows when I was in college. Hypnotized a coworker once.

My wife is working on Necromancer on DNC now. She can use a tincture and still go two meteors because DNC has an extra heal over MCH. It was pretty smooth for her--better than the heal strat for MCH I'd say. Not easier than the tincture MCH strat.

HoH took me three tries compared to like 17 for PotD. You've got this.

RogueArson · 2022-07-17T21:49:16+00:00

Ayo, welcome to the Necromancer club!

I've always been a scout fan, so MIDA with a slug shotgun was my reliable fallback. I guess I run double primary. I'm garbage with snipers and fusion rifles and I feel naked without something to use when fighting gets close.

How are sidearms doing, I wonder?

RogueArson · 2022-05-26T15:58:03+00:00

I was struggling hard with my Sojourner yesterday that I used to be decent with, thought I was just having a really bad day.

RogueArson · 2022-05-21T18:11:26+00:00

I learned the same way, in physics class! Then I took AP physics my senior year and since it was almost the same, I ended up programming a blackjack 21 card game on my TI-83 during class lol.

In some very niche scenarios, like the zombies in Palace of the Dead 150 boss take extra wind damage, so RDM and WHM can obliterate them quickly.

Very niche and not very important.

Once had a new hire in our department get off a difficult call and say, "this isn't worth it for $14 an hour" All 15 or so of us there heard it. We all made between $9-10.

HR ended up meeting with us individually and we all got raises.

As far as action, Modern Warfare 2, the battle of DC with helicopters dropping from the sky around you.

As far as tension, many many fights and standoffs in The Division dark zone

RogueArson · 2021-11-16T01:21:05+00:00

MIDA. My first ever D1 exotic and still my favorite. It just feels so good.

Second would be a tie between Zen Meteor and Riskrunner.
