I haven’t played it either, but my understanding was that characters will regularly hit max stress when moving at a reasonable pace, even with diligent management (they may even get a buff as a result). In many RPGs it’s possible to grind for hours and overlevel, neglecting strategy. That doesn’t mean it’s acceptable…

You shouldn’t lose in a game for reasons (that appear) outside your control, especially in PvE games: War, Candyland, and Chutes and Ladders are terrible games. To that point, it doesn’t make sense to put what are effectively unavoidable insta-death traps in a roguelike.

In The Division, the city of New York has been evacuated in the aftermath of a deadly biological attack. Some nefarious individual or organization infected a bunch of paper money with a genetically engineered version of the smallpox virus and fed those bills into circulation just in time for Black Friday.

Man, that ref looks so bored.

Looks like it got a little too steamy.

I interpreted it as the original LoZ was already like Dark Souls.

Yeah, I don’t do cosplay, but I do do some involved Halloween costumes. I (as a white guy) don’t have a problem with blackface, but knowing that some people have huge problems with it, I actively avoid costumes that I think would require blackface to be effective. I find it unfortunate that I (and others) have to…

Most people I’ve met who claim to be libertarian are just being contrarian. They’re just trying to be edgy and hip. And when they end up trying to (enthusiastically) justify their position, they don’t seem to realize that a political philosophy that revolves around people not telling you what to do also means you…

I feel like it has to mean more than just moderate Republican.

I use it according to pronunciation:

Sorry, all I could think of.

I guess the difference is that most conspiracy theories rely on exploiting minor unexplained facts and inconsistencies or a series of unusual occurrences. Denying the Holocaust would require ignoring mountains of evidence with clear motivations and no inconsistencies. I would definitely believe the US government…

Wasn’t one of the premises of the show that every conspiracy theory (to a comical degree) is true? And Mulder was a conspiracy nut even then. It makes sense to me that he’d be a 9/11 Truther. Also, the argument is much more plausible given the show’s shadow government mythology than what we actually see going on in…

There really should be a penalty for rocket launcher suicides in Crucible.

Did he not use tools?

While, as a young college-educated white man, I don’t find the racial issue particularly compelling, I can understand how it serves as a significant aggravating issue and indicative of a (primarily independent) systematic bias.

You can’t choose a side and then claim the counterpoints are invalid for lack of data. Both sides would be invalidated for lack of data. And since there don’t seem to be any generally accepted numbers, the whole argument is relegated to anecdotal points.

They’re 2 for 2, so, yes, “always” is accurate.

Still a better love story than Twilight.
