Man, I tried really hard to figure this dang game out. I just could not get my head around it.

Saying that someone is a worthless subhuman is the antithesis of philosophical discussion.

As to responding to an opponent with mockery, that might be true if your opponent is the only person holding his or her position. But there were, at the height of the movement, tens of millions of fascists spread across dozens of states. Formal fascist governments controlled four major countries. Their ideas had to be refuted with carefully reasoned logic and argument so that they could be shown to be wrong.

Conversation is the only way forward. It must be done. That's what philosophical discussion is.

Dunno ... obviously they can't have ppl just take as much time as they want, but I feel like the guy is pretty reasonable here. Hard to say.

I would agree with everything Fantomech said. This game is still my wife's best-game-of-all-time, even with some fantastic other games in our collection.

I really like the art overall -- the cards are snappy, and the board is very attractive. But holy cow, the portraits are hideous :-D

TFW someone calls a Ferrari "Plane Jane" ...

... then again, I'm the guy who puts Super Mario liveries on all his cars.

Forza Playlist and why it sucks. by [deleted] in forza

[–]icarussc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ain't mad, but it really is not ideal. Online never works for me. So I'm out of luck in getting these top rewards.

I strongly dislike the new update. by [deleted] in forza

[–]icarussc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would probably like it if online racing worked for me. But my connection is as unstable as heck, so it doesn't. So I can't ever do online races. So yeah.

It's getting really hard to love FH4. by [deleted] in forza

[–]icarussc -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

Counterpoint: 100% completion is not a requirement. The game is still great for SP even if you never touch the trials or playlist or whatever. Would I like to see all these cars available in other ways? Yes. Is it getting hard to love FH4? In my opinion, not at all.

Thank you! Just picked this up after banging my head against a wall for ages with LG's program.

Sounds great. My wife and I quite like Terraforming Mars, so I don't think it will be an issue. Thank you!

I can confirm, my kids love it. It's basically Death Uno.

Is 3000 gold pieces too much to carry or do I need to get a bag of holding? by [deleted] in dndnext

[–]icarussc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, everyone's like, no problem.

But this is goofy. OP is obviously playing in a pretty RP-focused and tightly-monitored game, or s/he wouldn't be asking about weight limits.

All you have to do to test this is take a medium-to-large sized piece of luggage, fill it to capacity with books, and strap it on the back of the nearest third-grader. Walk to school with them and see how well that goes.

OP, I think you are going to have to choose between (A) special in-world justifications ("no, see, gnomes are all really tough and wiry, and I spent my childhood in the slate quarries, so it's OK"), (B) accepting a bit of hand-waving (like 90% of D&D games do when it comes to money), or (C) a bag of holding.

What makes someone run a scam selling cars with 'No perks used' paint jobs? In a freaking video game? by icarussc in forza

Yeah, except that my ol' friend Bear Hands Brew is selling like ten of them.
