The Gaming Den

Humble is giving away Spec Ops: the Line currently. Its supposedly a mindfuck of a story behind a bland "chest high walls cover and shoot" shooter. Played it before got a few levels in and got bored.

So hypothetically what would have happened if we didn't run screaming out of the sterilization chamber?

Well Chameleon is bleeding out and as it said we need to end this quickly, move. No idea why Chameleon decided to go after Symbiont when he lost to him back in Greece while he counter is traveling with us.

Agree with Darth. Dive for cover and fire while in slow motion.

So assuming we got the usual autodoc 12 Endurance during spacetravel? Otherwise we've been sitting on 1 Endurance

The local Barbarossi I guess?

You're right that all narration for such things is necessarily handled ex post facto and therefore the narrative can be shaped to both the outcome and the nature of the test, but I feel like that's kind of disappointing and in lieu of doing better somehow, it would be better to avoid the question e...

Probably the best option. Barring that, thinkstrike.

Don't tell me who. In my head I've already decided on Disco Inferno. Fortunately, no. Was born before Glenn started wrestling. Gatekeepers aren't the orcs of Mordor. They aren't crafted by Sauron to blight the free peoples of the internet, they arise from specific conditions and understanding how a...

Cobra is immune to the symbiont who is still on the loose so, I say take him.

Koumei's motives pretty consistent. She's not gonna show up to some joint with a bunch of sweaty dudes unless they're at least going to pretend to fight. Preferably with dropkicks. Nothing wrong with that. I enjoyed watching wrestling when I was younger. Haven't watched it in about 15 years. Hell, ...

Sure Prak, I'll take the bait. It's not true of all women. There are some that enjoy this tabletop gaming, my old group had 2 married couples in it (one broke up when she got cheated one and they dumped him out of the group for it, haven't heard from the other two since I moved.) Others on the other...

To the extent that nerd gatekeeping can be justified, it's in a resistance to nerd poseurs, people who have adopted a sub-culture as a fashion statement and thus lack even a cursory understanding of the subject material they're aping. Musically, they're people who wear a band's t-shirt and claim to...

*Looks at first creature on list*

They call him Strigivakiin, OWLBORN! HOOT ROH DA!

Or like Kingdom of Loathing (Yes I know the game is just a giant rabbit hole of cultural references) where all the stats start with the same letter. Muscle, Mysticality, and Moxie.

Did I fall into some alternate dimension where the entertainment thread has merged with the news thread?

Pull up? Goal is to come out of this alive, not in first place. If someone can provide a better argument to dive I'll go with that.

I know I'm out voted here but evade. Precisely for the reason Omegon said. The Real Pilota would not do this. Its either a cybernet goon, Yelov, or some mind controlled patsy.

We're already taking a big risk flying so close to the sun anything more is suicide, continue on your course.

Sure, why not.

Play Chicken (middle option) it leaves us a safety net to back out if need be.

Ummmm, B? Just guessing. If someone can explain a better reasoning I'll go with that.

Given that we have 1 Endurance Point left and the name of the book is also "The Dying Sun" I'm better we're supposed to race.

Go for the gun

What the hell? Thinkstrike. The way this book is going the medtech will probably pull out a laser cannon and blast us afterwards.

My money is on the gas being a trap. If someone else wants to vote nope the fuck out, I'll go with that. Otherwise huff ammonia and die.
