Saint Rubenio Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) Hwahahahahaha... Here it is. The choice I've been waiting for. Spoiler A lesser game would've made Serenoa go "no we will face impossible odds and defend my best friend because honor or something." Triangle Strategy lets me be a bastard. And, of course... I made my choice. Anna came in clutch. I couldn't convince anyone else to change their minds. Gotta say, I lovw that Roland votes to surrender Roland. It's a cool detail. So long, blondie. Hope they'll treat you well and don't bite your neck too hard. 1 hour ago, pong said: Pitch: Cyberpunk in an otherwise medieval setting. Charlemagne (the year would be correct, even), but he actually looks like this, golden skin, gems for eyes. Hah! That sounds great. I'd only accept it if it has even more bugs, though. 1 hour ago, The Roger The Paladin said: Counterpitch: It's Cyberpunk Gameplay in Thracia 776's world. Complete with mechanics like difficulty recruiting some people, having to let other's escape first, and of course healing not always working.

The Roger The Paladin Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 See this is exactly why I'm out of the loop on things I've spent the last 8 months or so of my life on my niece, messing around with infra-sound, old comics, and playing 16-bit era games. The last game I played all the way through on release was the Switch Port of Shadow Dragon & the Blade of Light... and they don't even sell that one anymore because questionable business decisions.

Lightcosmo Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 (edited) As an aside to that, i finally figured out adding music to CS (not replacing existing music files that is) And unlike the devs, i actually keep my things in order! (i would freak out otherwise anyways) As seen here the bgm id has to match with what's in bgm.tbl file in order for music to work right, and the ID needs to be set right as well here.

Saint Rubenio Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Whacking things with a racquet really doesn't suit the tone the story is going for. But I am fine with that.

Punished Dayni Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 Well, the laptop has decided I have abused it too much and is now almost never starting up and crashes after two minutes when it does. So that's great. This was a legit problem for applying for a job today, so yeah. And of course that's another thing in this time of transition to deal with. And the keyboard is acting odd with SF so mobile sucks to type all this, apologies for not engaging on all these topics. At least I beat that boss that was bothering me in Dread pretty handily just now. Apologies for the radio silence the above may bring. 15 minutes ago, The Roger The Paladin said: True.

Interdimensional Observer Posted March 9, 2022 Share Posted March 9, 2022 I can't believe I'm seriously going to be using this. But, the combination of physical resistance and Mudoon makes it perfect for the current boss fight. I won't be able to get over its "Push! Push! Ahhhhh!" animation, but I don't need to. I probably won't use him much after the fight. Really need to recruit more recent demons in more diverse races tho', 18 slots still isn't enough for me. Next priority is using two Aquans to turn my antiquate Anahita into Sarasvati, who shall very fortunately inherit Resist Fire with ease and the first possessor of Bufudyne, I can tell a boss fight is coming up where that combination will be very useful. Besides that, a Kushinada-hime for the first available source of Mediarama. 7 hours ago, The Roger The Paladin said: My question is how much is their crackdown going to apply internally. Usually China's crackdowns are designed to prevent money from leaking out of China into the West. Making trade,if not one way per se, bottlenecked for outgoing currency. I'm not sure they care too much about internal purchases. Then again... can a multinational company investing in foreign companies be said to be internal purchases at this point? Definitely not a situation I'd be eager to be in. I was referring more to the PRC's typical top-down force-everyone-into-a-correct-minded-productive-slave-to-the-state severe limitations on the amount of time minors can spend on video games. Now, most of China's restrictions apply to online video games, because of the potential of addiction and the country's preference for them, but it's difficult not to see how that would spill down into offline gaming. We're talking the country that bans celebrity fanclubs and writes celebrities out of existence overnight, because nothing deserves worship and loyalty except the PRC state. 7 hours ago, Armagon said: Overall my first impressions are an average balance of good and bad. *Begins throwing stones at the nonbeliever* -But we all know by now the first hour or three isn't the best for judging JRPGs.

If I was going with one, I'd say Ajax the Lesser of Greek mythology. Mind that worked out pretty bad for him given the way he died. Mind I find it a bit rich that Poseidon and Athena had a hand in that punishment given how the former treated Medusa in some variations of her origin, and how the latter punished her for being treated that way. Guess it's fine when you're a God but not when you're a mortal.

I think the single thing that ties Olaf to Russia in my mind is his CO ability. Summoning a snowstorm which his troops thrive in while yours flounder simply reminds me of the way Hitler's progression on the Eastern Front stalled come the winter. I don't think there's a military incident I actual remember Russia more for than that. Perhaps because victories stand out more than failures.. and Afghanistan was a failure. 26 minutes ago, Interdimensional Observer said: When obscure parts of the world that sound like good fantasy names, stop being so obscure.😆 Although, IS had already goofed with Bern.

The name fancifully rolls off my tongue and it looks good on paper IMO. I'm still partial to Crimea as a name for the fictional country. But then I'm adverse to altering names. I remember a point back in the 1960s when Marvel renamed the Black Panther to The Black Leopard to avoid association with a certain group. Didn't stick. I also remember the time they briefly renamed the Western character Carter Slade from "Ghost Rider" to "Night Rider" in a bid to avoid confusion with the guy with the flaming skull and motorcycle (because they totally look the same)... only to quickly change it to Phantom Rider when "Night Rider" turned out to be an archaic term for a member of the KKK. One look at Carter Slade's all white costume... and you quickly realize that change needed to be made... but ironically could have been avoided if they left him as Ghost Rider. He did have the name first after all. That said... I'm not so adverse to the Phantom Rider name. Night Rider... on the other hand... was truly unfortunate. More so because the name had the connotation first. At least with Crimea, or Black Panther, if we go to Archer the organization ISIS all have names that became unfortunate later due to something unforeseen. Just seems a shame to cede ground on language because of people doing wrong. 1 hour ago, Saint Rubenio said: What die I do this time? What reason could you possibly have to hurt me so?
