I remember moving through a dungeon (but I don’t remember which dungeon) with the group, when we came to a room with bloodied and torn carcasses all over the floor.

Between Dupre and the Banes, no game has ever had the emotional gut-punch of Serpent Isle- ever.

I remember looking up whatever walkthroughs I could find (on Prodigy, AOL and Compuserve) to see if there was something I could have done differently to save everyone. Just devastating.

Thank you for sharing and reading! So sorry you had to deal with that (for U7!). And agree on what you were saying about morality in 256 pixels! =)

No amount of “open-worldness” will ever be able to compete with a well- and DELIBERATELY-constructed, FOCUSED world in which a very specific series of events is designed to take place. To me, “open-worldness” always comes across as just a lazy cop-out to avoid having to do any real world building. BotW avoids this…

Speaking as a Japanese dude: the real cultural force at work here is the Japanaese concept of “Meiwaku” (causing trouble to others).

Im pretty sure it is in the rules that if there is no token the enemy does not spawn.

I find it really difficult to explain this exact same thing to others, mainly because of my own amount of (debt-creating) education. But I completely agree.

Replaying Bastion to see if it’s as good as I remember. (Early report: it is.) Also a nice long Gloomhaven session on Sunday.

Appease the fans upset about the snow by offering more time in the ball pit.

On chrome right now, with a few tabs open, and I experienced no issues reading through the article & comments.

It’s the ad inject script, not limited to Kotaku, but present all across the GMG network.

But did you have Star Wars bed sheets and wallpaper? That’s the sign of a true fanatical SW kid from the 70's.

I have always wanted to play a permadeath Battlefield.

These idiots claim it’s in the name of preserving historical accuracy. A claim that goes out the window when you examine the sorts of additions Battlefield has always allowed for in order to make the game more fun.

If historical accuracy was the aim, Battlefield 1 would have been a ton of sitting in a trench waiting…

Even an ostensibly “good cop” is a member of a systemically corrupt and discriminatory institution. One that exists primarily to enforce a corrupt and inherently white supremacist power structure.

I’ve had some experience with the opposite end of this, where the DM was so lax that all momentum vanished from the campaign, or they let one or two players continually derail the story that the other players were invested in.

Forlorn Femme’s letter was a bit hard to read, because she’s basically describing my relationships with my ex-husband and my ex-boyfriend before him. Telling her to leave is exactly right, and I think she’s getting close to being able to do so, but telling her she needed to get out 4 years ago, etc, isn’t helpful.…

Mulder/Krycek was a substantial 90s slash fandom, to the point where I know about it despite never having seen an X-Files episode with Krycek in it. So, yes, yes other people did.

Often even if they’re not actually ever on screen together or even in the same season — just being in the same show is enough to spawn the fics! ;-p

Oh, my friend, so many other people agree with you on that score, you have no idea.
