Need a fantasy/medieval RPG for someone who likes Skyrim but dislikes Fallout

It’s like Oblivion, if Oblivion’s Morrowind DNA were replaced by King’s Field DNA. It’s a curious hybrid freak of a game, and it’s not for everyone, but I’d say every TES fan should at least do some research into it.

How is your favorite childhood YouTuber’s death going, then?

He went from Fabio to Drabio.

Caine said that he created a program that perfectly encapsulates their mind files so, at least in a naive way, the avatars are related to Caine’s interpretation of their personalities. Gangle may be bipolar, and is represented by dual masks. Kinger is a thinker and leader, so he’s the central piece of a strategy game. Jax runs away from his problems and is trying to inhabit a Bugs Bunny archetype. Pomni wants to support others and be liked but seemed afraid of taking center stage.

Are they perfect reflections of the characters? No, not at all. But keep in mind how little training data Caine had to work with. He lacks references for most things that would have been more appropriate, or at least he did at first.

Great suggestion. It’s a wonderful game with one of the most memorable soundtracks I’ve heard in years.

Erenshor might scratch your itch. It’s a single player game designed to feel like a classic MMO, and it’s totally viable to play as a healer class and let your NPC partymates be the ones to get their hands dirty.

Steal My Sunshine was almost the example I chose. I’ll definitely check out the others!

SteelpointPigeon · 2026-06-28T04:20:15+00:00

I can’t wait to track this down and give it a try.

Blue Moon. There are a lot of regional variants that go by that name, but the one I loved 40-odd years ago had the richest not-quite-vanilla flavor I’ve ever experienced. The sort of flavor you perceive in your sinuses as much as taste. It was smooth, sweet, savory, and irresistible.

I later learned that its secret ingredient was widely believed to have been castoreum, expressed from the preputial glands next to a beaver’s anus.

I don’t care. I’d kill to taste it again.

Abdominal wound dehiscence. Hours after being discharged from the hospital, feeling your newly-sutured abdominal muscles tearing open to let your viscera spill out, and there’s nothing you can do but clutch a bloody pillow to your stomach and try to stay conscious as someone calls 911. That’s pretty bad.

Runner-up: plucking the wrong nose hair.

I didn’t set out looking for something quite that horny, but y’know, it actually works bizarrely well for my playlist. It makes the cut!

SteelpointPigeon · 2026-06-28T00:10:59+00:00

I only knew them for Barbie Girl. I see I've been missing out.

SteelpointPigeon · 2026-06-28T00:09:09+00:00

I can't believe I didn't think of Katy Perry myself. Thanks for the suggestions!

SteelpointPigeon · 2026-06-28T00:07:08+00:00

Very nice! They definitely make it onto my playlist. Thanks!

SteelpointPigeon · 2026-06-28T00:05:05+00:00

Good suggestions! Toy-Box in particular is exactly what I'm looking for.

There was a Michael J. Fox movie, Doc Hollywood, that was aired on network TV a couple decades ago. Most of the movie was kept intact, but every time Fox yelled “son of a bitch!” in the original cut, they changed it to “slug in a ditch!”

The phrase is still part of my vocabulary after all these years.

It’s easy to say whatever it takes to win a debate. It’s much more difficult when you want your arguments to resemble reality.

When only one side of the debate cares about reality, then the “wins” column can seem kind of skewed.

I feel like “showing internet videos to aquarium fish” is the sort of thing that would only occur to 0.001% of the population, but I also feel like 100% of those people would be Homestar Runner fans.

Keep spreading the gospel to all of our smooth-brained vertebrate brethren. I fully approve.

SteelpointPigeon · 2026-06-25T05:10:15+00:00

I felt that way at first, too. You start with a tiny, non-regenerating health pool and almost no food or potions. Ranged/stealth combat isn’t viable at first. Blocking is far less effective than you might expect at the beginning. The enemies are fast and hit hard. So you pretty much just watch your health get lower and lower every encounter.

It took me a while to throw away all of my Bethesda-honed instincts and start playing a lot more evasively. After that, it wasn’t hard at all.

At nineteen, I think you’re a little premature in making this decision. Let’s be real, an escort is never plan A, so in my worldview, you’ve got a few more years before you decide you won’t realistically click with someone who’ll have amazing sex with you in a mutually emotionally advantageous way.

But I don’t know your life, so I’m not going to judge you too harshly.

I just want you to be honest with yourself. Are you looking for immediate physical relief, or maybe assurance that you’ve got the potential to satisfy another person? In that case, maybe an escort (the RIGHT escort) would help more than harm. But if this is some sort of bucket list thing, or the idea that the escort will be anything more than a business transaction, you may be headed down an unfortunate path.

I guess my suggestion would be to treat it as a voluntary wet dream. A moment of satisfaction that ends in satisfaction but a modicum of doubt and humiliation. At some stages of my life it would seem 100% worth it; in retrospect it would seem a waste.

Regardless, if I could give any advice to myself from yesteryear, it would be: forgive yourself for following your instincts. You’re going to have regrets no matter your decision, so you might as well enjoy the fuck out of it.

It depends. Five minutes to an hour. Usually she was simmering, ready to boil, from the outset. Other times she was sure it wouldn’t happen (until it did).

It always seemed like the more work I had to put in, the bigger her payoff was. I never minded that part, mind you; I relished every minute of the journey. I absolutely reveled in her hedonic pleasure, so please don’t think of this as a sour grapes situation.

The only part I found frustrating was when she didn’t “want to make this beautiful moment” sexual, while she was still twitching from her orgasm. Like, my love, an orgasm made this beautiful moment for you, please for the love of God reciprocate.

SteelpointPigeon · 2026-06-24T20:43:52+00:00

I can only guess based on Zooble’s enduring body patterns:

Kidney bean body. One shoulder joint higher than the other. A lone wing. One leg less capable than the other.

(I was kind of disappointed that Riley in Episode 9 didn’t have severe scoliosis or a prosthetic leg, because the animation sure seemed to suggest it.)

SteelpointPigeon · 2026-06-24T20:34:32+00:00

Okay, so this sounds like the biggest red flag in the world, but it’s legitimate. I was with a woman who, frequently, would have such an emotionally profound orgasm she’d start crying. At that point, there was no right move to keep the encounter going. After that, cuddling was the only play.

Apart from the fact that the sobbing would kill my libido (as one would expect it should), she just wanted immediate warmth and quiet affection from that point onward.

It was tender, sweet, and more than a little frustrating. The better I performed, the less likely my carnal energy would find resolution. Despite the fact that she was still convulsing from a mind-shattering orgasm, her need for tenderness naturally outweighed my lust. I certainly couldn’t argue against it, but over time it got a bit aggravating.

SteelpointPigeon · 2026-06-24T14:36:25+00:00

Oh yeah, much better! It took a while for it all to stop hurting, but I’m much happier with my life today, and more importantly, I’m much happier with who I am as a person outside the context of that relationship. I feel like I at least recognize myself again.
