That's when you turn it into a running gag, and see if anyone notices before they're clearing out whole camps simply named "Phil".

Only if the little pizzas have even smaller pineapples on top.

Possibly served by a tiny coffeeshop, within a small bookstore, contained in a slightly larger coffeeshop, and an even larger bookstore.

It depends. Are we going to work together to tell an interesting story? I will happily make all my players stupid dreams come true, but I'll still let them get bitten for being lazy or dumb with it.

Hell, I'm even down for some braindead fun, have an "off" game where we just let chaos reign with absolutely broken builds at every turn.

But we wanna get unruly? Wanna challenge Gods where we shouldn't? ToH will remind you of the pecking order.

"What do we do now?"

"Give it time. Before he knows it, he'll have the a case of Infernal Pinkeye no Cleric will be able to cure."

It's a Buc-cees. Just look for the looming monolith on the horizon, you should be able to just make it out from that distance.

Started a Professor Oaks Challenge in Red. I'm still not out of the grind in Viridian Forest. So much grinding.

For those who don't know, the challenge is to catch, and evolve, every possible pokemon line before each gym leader. Doing this in an OG game is pretty painful, and slow at the start.

Kinda have Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous burning in the back of my mind, though. That new DLC. Kinda wanna roll up a Bladebound Magus. Kinda getting tired of running in a straight line repeatedly.

NakariLexfortaine ,

Yeah, I'm planning on pretty much grabbing one of the high levels I'll have and just switch training Magi on the trainers in Mt. Moon before doing the Cerulean Catch-and-Grind, and having to add Abra into the mix for a bit.

Oh yeah, emulator with FF on with PKHex at my side to make some things a bit more gentle, but manually grinding, catching, and including Trades since I can just fake it and have a "legal" one.

So, it's kinda easy, but also kinda difficult.

There's multiple sub-series.

If you want a more traditional game, start with Shin Megami Tensei V, the newest of the mainline series. You're generally safe just jumping in with the newest entry, they're not exactly the most heavily connected plots. If you dig it, you can always give the older titles a try!

They're turn-based RPGs(with a bit of a twist), but the main gimmick is that you can recruit enemies to come fight for you. Different personalities like different kinds of things, you have to work it out. You also can unlock ways to resummon and fuse demons to make more powerful demons, some of which are bosses(and deities. Like, Yaweh and Lucifer aren't unfamiliar faces at times in the series).

SMT: Persona is a sub-series that shares some likeness to the mainline(same demons, demons becoming a form of party member, resummoning and fusing), but takes place in the "modern" world. They also focus heavily on forming bonds with your party mates. While not unfamiliar to the SMT series, the Persona titles really bring it to the forefront.

Start with 3, 4, or 5. FES(PS2)/The upcoming complete edition for the remake, Golden, and Royal are the "complete" versions of each title, respectively. This is becoming the norm of the series, a base version is released and then an updated version with extra story content is later released.

If you get really curious, SMT 1 and 2: Innocent Sin/Eternal Punishment(It's two halves of the story for 2) aren't unplayable, by any means, but I would recommend having a guide on hand. They're much less polished than the later titles.

That's really the best I can think of for the "default" SMT titles that most would recommend, but other side titles like the Digital Devil Saga games have their own fun twists on the weird world(s) of the SMT series. Just remember that they're often some form of turn-based gameplay, and when dealing with earlier titles, notoriously difficult/grindy and occasionally obtuse. You're meant to take advantage of every weakness, exploit every option, but it will be returned onto you. Luck plays a huge factor in a bloodless victory or a total party wipe, though careful planning can give you an edge.

Just remember, Summon Fish has a One Week cool down.

NakariLexfortaine ,

Aren't there external Workshop downloaders floating around, or has Valve closed that gap?

NakariLexfortaine ,

This is what happens when you drop someone to chase their mom.

NakariLexfortaine ,

They really want martyrs to prop up, don't they?

How long until they bring out an actual body to praise over for their "noble sacrifice"? Bottle the fucking tears to drink while they demonize the "enemy".

NakariLexfortaine ,

Damn, so we're not going home?

"The screaming stops..."

"Alright, open the door."

"... And the Infernal chanting begins."

I generally wait until it would have the most impact.

A couple times handling some mind-controlled guards? Yeah, sure, they're probably pretty dumb and not going to respond well.

Keep doing it while raiding the BBEGs territory? They're going to catch on, and it's going to bite you in the ass. Won't just throw out a TPK for it, but you're going to get an in-game warning that they're catching on, it's just up to the players to heed it or not.

Though I will spare a party consequences if they use it again in a more clever way than before, like it becomes a step in a greater trap.

Hey, baculum are common among multiple species!

They could just be a highly intelligent raccoon who has been shamed into wearing pants by their human peers due to social pressures.

NakariLexfortaine ,

Man, some of those kids really never recovered from filming The Wall, huh?

NakariLexfortaine ,

Remember, according to the adverts, Rayman is fucking hung.

Mans got a baseball bat floating from his body, they just refuse to show us.

NakariLexfortaine ,

But Yor wears a loincloth.

NakariLexfortaine ,

Hey, using a RoReg is better than the... Usual manner.

Plenty of times it's better not to ask what's in the stew with a Lizardfolk. You'll sleep better.

Just, uh... Watch for the shakes, yeah?

It's always a good time to rewatch Hobo with a Shotgun.

It's a perfect movie. The title sets up the premise, and the movie delivers exactly what's promised. If anyone was disappointed, it's their own fault.

Paper is overpowered, for no good reason. What does it do? Covers rock? So if I place a sheet of notebook paper over this brick, and slam it into your temple, nothing's gonna happen, right?

NakariLexfortaine ,

Might not be up your alley, but there's a dude called "Just Background Noise" who does various Morrowind challenge runs. It's neat stuff, but his name is quite accurate. Makes for some great background listening.

NakariLexfortaine ,

Q-Bert beta DK confirmed.

3 hours in the middle of the night in a crowded mall.

It was Cataclysm's release night. People were packed in, you had groups of them with laptops huddling together to play while we waited. Eventually the GameStop employees came out and started doing a trivia contest with some WoW-themed tat as rewards.

My company was discovered using monkeys for emissions tests. They were gassing monkeys, and legitimately used "everyone in the industry does it" as an internal defense to quell upset staff.

Fuck Volkswagen. Straight up. No fucks given, worst job I ever worked.
