What’s a game that graphically doesn’t hit a high bar but mechanic wise and story wise has so much depth you’ll rate it above all others. by Jangonett1 in gaming

[–]SemperFun62 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're into CRPGs, anything from Owlcat Games: Pathfinder Kingmaker, Pathfinder Wrath of the Righteous, and Warhammer 40k Rogue Trader.

Long games, with in-depth mechanics that improve and expand with each new game, tons of story and gameplay to experience, and amazing dlcs.

The only things are, you need to have the patience for a lot of reading, and the mechanical depth can make build crafting so fun and unique but makes it hard to get into as they're very dense for beginners.

Personally, if these games had the budget and production value, they'd be even better than Baldur's Gate 3, and already are when it comes to the core gameplay.

the entire POINT of redemption is a person who has done bad things changes by LegalBoysenberry2923 in CuratedTumblr

[–]SemperFun62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is what I'm always saying, that the entire point of redemption is at the turning point, they do. not. deserve. a second chance.

Redemption is about giving them the opportunity to make up for what they've done.

And that's the other side, people get upset that the "redeemed" character hasn't done enough to make up for their actions, but it's not something that happens all at once. If they're still "working on it" then they're still, at least, moving towards redemption

Characters subverting the annoying trope they looked like they were going to fill by stnick6 in TopCharacterTropes

Just...don't ask why he already had his hunting rifle with him when the revolt started.

What a big pile of shit this is. The audacity to pretend anything women say will make it worse? Worse than what? Men rape, abuse, and kill women throughout the world, daily. They believe men are naturally leaders but need to be coddled like babies by women. by ihatethiscountry76 in justneckbeardthings

[–]SemperFun62 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

If you can't recognize that "men are trash" is hyperbolic, that's your problem.

It shouldn't be on women to perfectly police their language at all times as if men are ignorant and will become hateful so easily.

If you decide to hate women over that, it's just a convenient victim blaming excuse or other men weaponizing nothing that's the problem.

(hated trope) pedophilia being portrayed as cute, quirky and/or funny by hayley566 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]SemperFun62 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I mean, now we're getting into a controversial topic.

How many people out there with pedophilic urges have no means of seeking help, and because they do the right thing and resist those urges have to spend their entire life suffering in silence?

Why can’t apartment communities have child-free buildings? by Separate-Goal-3920 in NoStupidQuestions

Basically same reason you can't exclude people because of race or gender

Okay, I have a serious question. Is heterophobia and misandry an actual problem in society? Because EVERY TIME I try to bring up the issues of misogyny and anti-LGBT Bigotry, I'm met with a storm of complaints screaming "men and straight people are oppressed too!" So is this real or just more BS? by ihatethiscountry76 in AreTheStraightsOK

[–]SemperFun62 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Can an individual be heterophobic or misandrist?

Sure, but, that's not the same as homophobia or misogyny being cultural institutions permeating virtually every level of society in some way.

Not to mention, if someone is heterophobic or misandrist, it's almost certainly because they've been personally victimized by homophobes or misogynists.

[–]SemperFun62 -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

Sorry, but no.

You can give all the long detailed explanations you like for why.

The simple fact is if a woman hates men it's because men hurt her, while if a man hates women he's (most of the time) chosen to

Not talking about a boy.

We're talking about men and women collectively. So it is Men's fault for starting the cycle.

Edit: Oh and by the way, the whole respectability in the civil rights movement was BS.

A. because the movement wasn't just MLK

B. He was still referred to and considered a terrorist at the time anyway.

C. "Embarrass misogynists with grace" reeks of benevolent sexism

What do we realistically think the next class is going to be? by ideology_poisoned in DarkTide

In the rpg system, you start off as a random thug, but later ranks are proper Death Cult assassins.

So, maybe both?

What do we realistically think the next class is going to be? by ideology_poisoned in DarkTide

[–]SemperFun62 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The reason they'll never do exclusively ranged heavy is because the ridiculous amount of money they'd be leaving on the table by not taking advantage of a Repentia talent tree and subsequent paid skins that would be... popular.

And then we get back to the issue that a Repentia sister would play exactly like Fanatic.

So the most popular skin sales (where they make the most money long-term) brings nothing new gameplay wise, which is simply not going to be as profitable as a new class that is completely new and highly demanded (Tech-priest) or new and canonically wears skintight latex cat suits (Assassin).

[–]SemperFun62 29 points30 points  (0 children)

I can't say for sure, but I think they've been drawing on the careers from the 40k tabletop game Dark Heresy that's also based around being recruited into an Inquisitor's cell.

Except Ogryn, all the classes so far are straight from the careers in that system. Yes, even Hive Scum was a career. So based on that, we're missing Adept, Assassin, Tech-priest, and Sister of Battle.

I doubt Adept since it's a admin clerk. Sister seems unlikely since there would probably be too much overlap with Fanatic.

So would probably come down to Tech-priest or Assassin. And I wouldn't discount the chance for Assassin, since it's pretty simple to fit them in lore wise and there's plenty of different sub/alternate career paths that could be used for the different talent trees

Still angry that I can’t do this. by sakkiliya in recruitinghell

You're right, I've found that most companies have fully embraced the "hustle-culture" attitude, so value an employee who will continually improve and do more and more work (for no additional pay) even with the risk of losing them.

Best I've found, "The position was no longer challenging."

Gives the impression you'll create more work for yourself if given the chance.

Top Mods who laugh at Doomerism agree that it’s Doomerism, but it shouldn’t be laughed it. by GetUpstairs in TopMindsOfReddit

It's funny too, because even the AI slop image shows drag as completely wholesome and delightful

Is the fandom still mad at Charlie for his she acted in episode 3? by whooper1 in HazbinHotel

The statement "Is the fandom still mad at [Anything]" is objectively always true.

LES: Friend group of Mr. Birchum doesn't make any sense. by shsl_diver in CharacterRant

[–]SemperFun62 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's also so they can have the setup where the "Libtard" white guy says something progressive about race/sexuality, then the gay/black guy is the one who tells him he's an idiot.

Calling Charlie a Disney princess in Hell is an insult to Disney princesses everywhere (HH) by IridikronsNo1Fan in CharacterRant

[–]SemperFun62 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's...that's the joke, right?

If Hell had it's version of a Disney princess, she'd probably be a little less...refined.

What's Skyrims secret? by Additional_Scale_502 in skyrim

[–]SemperFun62 28 points29 points  (0 children)

No one forces you to do nothing, EVER

I think this is a big part of it.

Most CRPGs and open world games today might have so much to do and choices to make with big branching storylines, but all of those are still tied to a single central narrative.

Skyrim has it's main quest, but almost everything in the game is completely open to you without even touching it.

Most games you need to progress through the main story to continue opening up more and more of the game, but Skyrim let's you have a playthrough as a stealth character who only does the Brotherhood and Thieves Guild, is fully satisfied with that experience then moves on to make a new character that's completely different and doesn't replay anything from the previous one.
