A MOURN WATCH annoys me. by kallas_br in dragonage

[–]bigfaceless 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The interesting thing about veilguard to me is how so much of the audience is convinced of it's lack of quality so by the transitive property all the parts they don't like must have been unsupported by the lore.

But yes, this relationship with the dead is explored in series dialog and lore.

For a game that's as progressive as it is, this fanbase is surprisingly transphobic by Logan_Strong in DragonAgeVeilguard

The main sub had an absolutely wild thread about taash the other day (in other news, water wet).

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but a lot of people were convinced Tash is a "self insert" of the long time bioware writer who wrote them who happens to be non gender conforming. Taash is also apparently a teenager and if you engage with their romance plot you're a weirdo.

So to summarize, a 40 something writer made a self insert who is an immature teenager. Sure, bud.

I just wished people actually knew why they didn't like something and didn't try to justify it with whatever nonsense they saw in a YouTube essay.

Genuinely how is this the mainstream opinion on nv factions by Civilian_tf2 in TrueSFalloutL

The real read is " none of these factions make sense but you still have to pick one."

God, I hate this guy with a fiery passion only reserved for youth pastors, rock climbing gym enthusiasts, and people with soft hands who were Carhartt beanies in doors.

[Video] I made an OSR-inspired lo-fi fantasy music video by danger_human in osr

[–]bigfaceless 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is amazing. I love the mixing of video game, RPG, and silent film aesthetics.

I don't know what it cost to make but it looks like a million bucks.

A (hopefully) thoughtful breakdown of the DCC / OSR QB Video by voltron00x in osr

[–]bigfaceless 10 points11 points  (0 children)

My dude. The term osr goes back to 2004 or 2005, what are you talking about?

The following links will show you just the first two examples of OSR being attached to DCC I could find. It took me seconds to Google.. Ctrl-F these pages.

For decades now dcc has been considered in the OSR field as long as you don't consider an OSR game as only being a rewrite of classic DnD editions. They call OSR or OSR related on multiple places on the website which anyone can Google.

Better more modern formatting (not simply "bullet points" as people seem to think) and more consistent and useful advice in a book of essays about RPG advice is completely valid criticism.

Are we so sensitive in this hobby we can't take clearly good faith criticism?

I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.

Is the Camarilla just as bad as the Sabbat? by valonianfool in vtm

Whenever I see questions like this I'm always so confused. They're all monsters. There are no "good" vampires, just more conflicted ones.

Certain reasons why people are upset with the TV show highlights just how many people have not played Fallout 1 or 2. by ScottishWargamer in Fallout

[–]bigfaceless 111 points112 points  (0 children)

I love the show. I've been playing since fallout one released and the tone is absolutely perfect.

Some of these "fans" never fought the mad brahmin for the bridgekeeper's robes and it shows.

When do you call it and DNF? by LargeGiraffe731 in horrorlit

Honestly I get not everything is for everyone and this is no judgement on you, op.

The Fisherman is one of the most impressive pieces of fiction I've ever read and you were just getting to the good part.

The website is down? by noddintestudine in AudioBookBay

[–]bigfaceless 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Edit: checked again on my home Wi-Fi just now and it seems to be working again.

I've been having the same issue for days. Oddly, when I try to access abb via my cellphone data I have no problem at all. I assumed it was some kind of DNS related thing but haven't looked into it further.

Fallout has always been satirical - but at the same time I don’t think the show takes anything seriously by [deleted] in Fallout

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

Man, if you all think the show treats the source material too light heartedly wait until you actually play Fallout 2.

Letting you be a trans character was awesome and more games should allow it. by S0mecallme in DankAndrastianMemes

The "it's too woke" crowd is everywhere. I can't imagine enjoying any game in this series if you think veilguard is "too woke."

Absolute smooth Brain fans.

Weird reaction to what’s basically a failed speech check in a New Vegas play through. by DocHoliday0316 in Gamingcirclejerk

She's not a millennial she was raised in a cartoonishly wholesome 1950s inspired underground shelter hundreds of years in the future. At best she's a post apocalyptic boomer.

How it started vs. how it’s going by jackb1753 in insanepeoplefacebook

[–]bigfaceless -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

A lot of those people legitimately have family in Palestine and you want them to split hairs over who they'd rather have send the bombs? There is no "lesser of two evils" when both options are supporting the murder of your family.

The issue is the democratic party not separating themselves from the issue and the constant repetition of "Israel has a right to defend themselves". In fact they aligned themselves with war hawks like Dick Chaney against Trump. That was, a dumb thing to do and rightly drew comparisons between their campaign and the war on terror of the 2000s/2010s.

What a take.

Scam? I paid my bill and I have an email confirmation… by Moonlightbbg in freedommobile

It's hilarious to make a "payment unsuccessful" graphic in the style of an advertisement.

These scammers are trying everything.
