The school never bothered to tell the parents their kid was being bullied.

Do like I plan to do and skip the launch. Wait for a deep sale and enjoy a finished, functional game in about a year or 2.

Will it be good? No idea. But it'll be cheap

So if I'm reading this right, this is the average performance aggregate of all systems tested year over year.

Meaning, the systems tested this year, as a whole, came out to a lower average score. The top end systems were probably still more powerful, but there could be less top end systems this year, and overall scores were pulled down by the mid or lower ends.

I'd assume this means less people bought the highest end equipment this year compared to prior years. Pricing has gotten extreme for the highest end and I'm betting less people see the value in it with modern gaming being in the state it's in.

But I'd also be curious what the median is, and how many systems were scored annually.

Trump might sell it too.

He doesn't give a shit either way. This is all part of the plans he helped lay out. He's just not in Trump's circle this time around so now he's against it.

Steve Bannon can rot in hell.

Lol sure, that informed commenter is the one kneeling to corporate farming. Not the farmer who actively voted against his own interest and is now gonna suffer the consequences.

Pretty sure I can safely assume the person you replied to didn't vote for Trump or any of this shit.

You don't say? Not like Republicans spent the ramp up to the election specifically attacking her and her possible endorsement of the Democratic candidate.

Republicans listening to their propaganda. This is nothing new or shocking.

So butthurt, you had to tell everyone.

 

If you aren't aware, the Ghost Stories English Dub is one of the most insane dubs ever made. It's incredibly offensive and racist and bat shit insane at times and it's probably one of the funniest things I've ever watched. Scamboli Reviews has a great summary video about it. If you have time, it's worth watching this anime at least once in your life.

 

The Gold Saucer is sure to be fantastic, and I'm excited to see the date scene. But I'm particularly interested in how they do Barret and Dyne's encounter. I hope they expand on that whole moment.

Can we discuss the start of act 2?

I made it a point not to roll back my saves for any decision I make. So far, I've managed to save the tiefling's at the druid camp. Being a tiefling myself, I want to see them make it!

This made me all the more excited to see all the tiefling's that I'd saved make it this far. And boy were there a lot of them. So many people I recognized from previous conversations or quests. I was thrilled! And they of course remembered me.

I say all this to emphasize how hard it hit me when I wasn't able to protect Isabel. That whole interaction blindsided me so bad. And my initiative roll was horrible for all my characters, I ended up being paralyzed and they just slaughtered her in 2 turns.

It was a freaking gut punch, the likes I haven't felt in a game in years. All those innocent people, turned to monsters, then forcing me to put them down.

My main character was always so optimistic before this. This interaction is gonna make me change the way I play and the decisions I make going forward, just to really add to the impact of him losing all those people he cared about, thinking the decisions he made led to their death.

Is there anyone living the good life with their tiefling friends in the Last Light Inn? Anyone who saved Isabel? Because my character just lost his people and is a broken person now because of it.
