The Gaming Den

I once read a short story where businesses solved that problem by automating consumption. Robots would make purchases based on human wants and needs to artificially raise demand. The result was a completely useless and wasteful closed loop that still made a profit on paper. Please tell me that's NO...

Gah, I haven't had the time or energy to play video games in a while, aside from the occasional DotA match...

So how does the new champion work?

Is it Mi-go time?

So now the mechanics are inconsistent with existing lore? I'm not exactly surprised.

Why the fuck are Dragonborn in this game? Dragonborn are worse than AIDS and if anyone wanted to play in my game as a Dragonborn character I would tell them to go fuck themselves. If you want to play as a Dragonborn character, you are implicitly making the confession that you are a fucking loser. F...

Do monster girls count?

Actually, does playing GURPS count?

James Jacobs stated he wants to nerf Telekinesis and Explosive Runes after seeing that thread.

Edit: Had a typo.

Anyone here who's played Shovel Knight?

Speaking of errata, they want to nerf Explosive Runes now thanks to Lovecraft fans being butthurt about a strategy to beat Cthulhu involving a lot of Explosive Runes.

I think a lot of the basic early D&D tropes (paladin divine status, priests casting out vampires and devils, etc.) hint at a very Manichean cosmology as far as good and evil. So which is it... do we need to make sense of alignment because it is there, or do we think alignment makes sense so we ...

So, when did the Githzerai make the transition from "Mind Flayer sympathizer" to "badass monks that live with Giant Frogs", exactly?

Why is Doom so fun to play?

Seems not much has changed since that new dude took the helm in Reynolds' stead.

Wait, actual improvement in Pathfinder? Surely the end times are upon us.

So how many days left till the Dark Souls II DLC arrives?

I think DotA 2 is more fun to play with friends than LoL, but more annoying to play alone. Also goblin techies is slated for release. Without any revision (or so I'm told). I wonder who thought that was a good idea. Unless they can make the Techies less cheap than they were back in DotA 1, their re...

Yeah, the plot (or lack thereof) has bothered me as well.

Either way the game is still enjoyable, and I do plan to try out NG+.

If not that, then I'll burn a few Bonfire Ascetics to get the otherwise unobtainable stuff.

...alright, Pathfinder being Caster Edition kinda goes against my earlier claim, I'll give you that.

I'm more curious as to what kind of elements remove the medieval feel from the game...

@Kaelik

I actually raised my Hexer's Int and Faith to 45.

Judging from some of the Ask James Jacobs comments, old JJ wished Pathfinder was a horror game...

Your DM is a dipshit, brized. Also, some people are asstards, and they don't care what alignment they need/have to play to be one.

I was going to pitch in, but pretty much all the points I would have brought up have already been mentioned.

That is true, and he comes up with some weird shit at times.
