The Gaming Den

In truth, in the near to mid term I expect it will just be the two of us playing. out of curiosity, what are the prospects of 40k? It seems games workshop in general isn't doing great... But if we're getting away from the warhammer fantasy lore, and having now read the age of sigmar rules bugfuck in...

From what I can gather, age of sigmar is designed such that there are no unit limits, you just use as many figures as you want, instead of having point limits.

Yes, I know, but he likes the dwarf companion novels and I doubt we'll be doing any tournament stuff, so that's actually fine. Thank you for the advice, I appreciate the pointers.

Okay, backstory, there was a wedding in the family recently and as a result everyone was together one of my family member's works at a toy shop in town there so we all went and had a look around. Off hand I mentioned warhammer to my father and he expressed interest, now I've played some 40K but I ne...

Okay everyone, let's play a game, but first some appropriate music.

Let's play Stormfag or SJW!

The rules are simple everyone, these quotes have had any refrence to race or gender removed, guess if it was made by a stormfronter or Social Justice Warrior!

Just finished Watch_Dogs, and it's pretty great. It has horrible, horrible, optimization problems, but I really enjoyed the story and the hacking mechanic was really fun, if somewhat limited. The driving was really enjoyable to me. Pro tip, if you want to get somwhere fast, use a motorcycle, otherwi...

Nigel Farage attacked by protestors while eating with his wife and children. You know what protestors, good job. Definately not the wrong way to go about voicing politcal complaints, this couldn't possibly backfire at all, I'm sure.

Are you kidding me? did you actually fucking say that? There is a real and documented bias in the legal system toward exhanerating women who have been accused of rape even when there is overwhelming evidence that they did, in fact, rape their accuser to the point that people actually exist who will ...

Yes Kaelik the idea that the victims of crimes should be viewed as human and treated with respect and delicacy reguardless of their gender, or the color of their skin, or age, is fucking hilarious. As is the idea that saying that things should be otherwise is disgusting and arbitrary.

And maybe you're doing lingual gymnastics to try and make yourself look smarter than you are. Probably not very hard. DSM: I did not say that Chamomile's point was unclear or ambiguous, I said that it's bad. I further went on to enumerate why I thought it was bad. There were a lot of words there, an...

What difference? There is litterally no way to say those words and have them make sense. You realize that saying "the group" is a shorthand way to discribe a whole group of people. It is a verbal short cut that we use to identify ourselves or others as a collective. So no OS, you cannot ac...

I'm just going to ignore the first part of what you said, because it was stupid, and didn't make any sense. But as for the second part you fucking shit head. 'Racism' has a pretty straightforward English meaning. It is NOT the one referenced in the OP. Racism: the belief that all members of each rac...

"okay, yes, that happens but we're talking about a separate issue right now" and making them look like jackasses if they insist on making the conversation about their tangentially related problems even though the actual reason for having the conversation was to talk about other problems c...

Oh, yes, reasonable argument, "I disagree with what you said so I'm going to say that you're just incapable of being reasonable and ignore you." Thank you for showing me that you have nothing to contribute to the conversation PL. At least you were up front about it. Enjoy my ignore list.

So, I have no idea what this event you're talking about is but if Tumblr is involved it's probably full of horse shit on all sides. But that definition of racism is absolutely horse shit no probably. "You can't do anything about it; if you're white that means your guilty shitlord and nothing yo...

I would be very interested to see that study.

Well, this would be more strange if the folks over at Relms Beyond hadn't already started doing something extremely similar in Civ 4 last year and this wern't obviously an offshoot of that. The Civ 4 AI games started in celebration of the superbowl by the way.

So, yes, you are stupid. Let me just break it down because you're a fucking idiot who cannot understand the meaning of words unless said meaning is not explicitly spelled out. In a world where A) magic is real B) There are people who can use magic and C) Magic is not in any way bound by the laws of ...

Dude, can I buy pot from you? "It's magic" is an explanation. "A wizard did it" isn't the deepest answer or the most satisfying answer, but it is an answer. As opposed to the other option being presented in this fucking thread , which is "no wizards involved, it just happen...

Hey Kaelik, I'm going to do you a favor an just suggest you shut you're ignorant mouth. The argument that "it's magic it doesn't have to make sense or have an explination" is fucking terrible. In all way's it's terrible, it's lazy, it's unsatisfying, and allowing it to fly encourages bad h...

People will still conclude that laws of physics are out to lunch. Oh, so you mean like when the wizard creates matter from out of thin air with no explanation. Sure, this, or this, or this. But the thing is, all those are specifically jokes. That kind of explanation is deeply unsatisfying and so in...

Golden age superman's flight is seriously just jumping. And his greatest feats include punching out gangsters and lifting cars. All his powers are specifically fuled by his physical strength. So in D&D I'm willing to accept that a guy could do a bunch of squat thrusts and just jump so high and f...

Or no mechanics. Would probably better than shitty mechaics.

Hey, something I'm actually qualified to talk about. So, the reason Adderall is so hard to get ahold of is because it's meth. We don't call it that, and the chemical structure is very slightly different, but it's meth, its effects are almost exactly the same just milder. Overdosing on Adderall is su...

Zelda games I recomend! Link's awakening: because it's trippy as shit, Ocrarina of Time: just because that's where modern Zelda games come from, Wind Waker: because it's a good game. Final Fantasy Games I recomend! FFX: one of the best most fleshed out world of any video games I've played, FFXII wel...
