Veniat Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 People who write ok instead of okay in fanfics, or magick instead of magic; it's such a dumb bloody thing to get pissed off about but it has ruined good stories for me that were otherwise perfectly fine grammatically, and had good flow, but I just couldn't get over how they misunderstand something so simple. I get the whole magick vs magic thing, where magick is meant to be 'real' magic, or ritual magic, in certain philosophies. God, how hard is it to use the proper word in the correct context? In a forum post, or something else that was written quickly, I understand, I don't bother double checking my grammar and spelling either in that case, but I don't see any possible excuse for doing so in something that you've spent possibly weeks writing, that's just being lazy. Though that pisses me off, honestly do NOT get me started on the whole Mum vs Mom thing in Harry Potter fanfics, I'm such a nerd

Bastilla on the other hand... there was just something about her I found insufferably annoying. Played male but had no interest in romancing her because I just couldn't stand her. So I hated constantly being forced to team up with her and killed her in the end. Which somehow gave me the lightside ending due to how bottle-necked your final choices were.

Obsidian written new star wars rpg would destroy me by hype, but Outer Worlds is enough now :D. I miss kotor sometimes, despite can play it anytime, kotor 2 with restored content is truly something :) But right now I have good mood, I wanted a new space rpg for a while.

I think she supposed to annoy you in some level, dunno maybe my nostalgia come of, when I replayed kotor 1 I was't that impressed when I was young, but I liked her. Althought Spoiler Darth Revan in my game didn't have dick But Kotor 2 on otherhand was much more better as an adult and yes Kreia, I consider her one of the best star wars char, something like her in the films would kill really.
nonusnomeni Posted December 7, 2018 Posted December 7, 2018 when somebody idealized 300 spartans against 100.000 persians bah amateurs they are nothing 6 bavarians against 480.000 magyars that is story paradox story

Only the Cat-Woman has a romance built on mutual respect and adoration.

I have nothing more to add to it, but I like to check in once in a while to see what else is going on with this game. Some people like it, many people don't. That's fine. A lot of us don't care about whether or not someone likes or dislikes the game. Both fans and haters, either agree to disagree or STFU. Let the people posting relevant articles, vids, and their own honest opinions do so in peace. And for the LL moderators, I have to agree that it is time to let those who like the game have their own thread so they can discuss it in peace. Merging their threads together with the existing one is just causing trouble. What I care about is what's going to happen with Bugthesda legally. Besides the civil lawsuit over their (expected) one-eighty on refunds using the flimsiest of pretexts, I care more about what the Federal Trade Commission investigation will lead to. If they do rule that that company is guilty of deceptive business practices, the punishment could be anything from a proverbial slap on the wrist to fines so severe that Bethesda Studios is forced to declare bankruptcy to possible criminal charges against key employees or executives-in-charge. Given that the FTC is already under pressure to investigate paid loot boxes in other games as a form of gambling, they might even decide to make an example of BS to send a message to other gaming companies (*cough* EA *cough*) who think they can get away with whatever they want. At this point it's too soon to tell anything. As Topic Starter of that thread, from the bottom of my heart... I apologize. I had no idea that small post.. 'Hey look.. Bathesda put up this stream.. whaddaya think it'll be?' would end up in this state. I did read through it. And it's a whirlpool of 4 or 5 posters just arguing with each other, ignoring almost every other poster in there that tries to get the thread on track. What also pisses me off is the state that Paris is currently in. The right to demonstrate is being killed by rioters and looters, with no agenda other than to destroy and make shit. Just because they can. Several groups have already been recognized. Extreme left, extreme right, soccer fans... Every demonstration is overrun by rioters causing havoc. Fuck the state of this world. Fuck those people.

But not like it turned out. It really isn't helping that Bugthesda keeps screwing up and adding more fuel to the flames (pun intended). I just wish the moderators would let the people who do like it maintain their own separate thread so they can discuss things there and leave the people who keep posting bad things about it in the existing thread.

If they would do that. Then it would become 'two camps', where one after the other, people would be reporting posts to mods, getting angry about reports not being handled, friendly warnings 'to keep it civil' and to 'stick to the proper thread'. Then there will be posters who just don't get it. They'll want to post in any thread that's relevant to Fo76. Then there will be the 'covert positives' that are actually there to be salty and sarcastic all the time. It would become uncontrollable chaos (moreso than now). Better to just let the storm die out like this.. Couple more weeks, then it dies down. Plus, it's a shitstorm not just here, but everywhere, including main stream media.

I'm actually more interested in what's not being said. In mainstream media or outside of it. Since it's illegal to discuss what's going on with any sort of lawsuit or trial until things are settled, the silence about both the civil lawsuit and whatever the FTC is doing as well makes me nervous. While Bugthesda would never say anything themselves, there would be some sort of mention from other parties when things were done. The complete lack of information on that front means things are not over yet. The legal outcome is going to affect more than just them or even Zenimax. Much like the FTC investigation to determine if paid loot boxes will be considered gambling, what happens here is going to impact all video game companies one way or another.

That has nothing to do with SJWs. And it has nothing to do with preferring the older characters or the older movies. Saying that people have't watched the new movies and don't understand them is ridiculous. It's a tiresome argument and holds no weight. Most of the criticism that I see on Youtube definitely has nothing to do with 'SJW' anything, just issues with story craft, much of it coming from professional writers or pop culture junkies. Spoiler Spoiler Alright, that's enough of that. Anyone can just put 'The Last Jedi' or 'Rey Mary Sue' into a Youtube search bar for themselves to see how many people have this criticism for a variety of reasons. Okay, maybe a few more. Spoiler Spoiler Even the Social Critics online has very little to say about any cultural issues when discussing Star Wars since they usually are more upset about ham-handed use of politics than they are with its presence altogether. You might want to check out the Clone Wars shows if you want good female characters in Star Wars other than Leia. I would also recommend checking out some of Star Wars' contemporaries to see how one feels they stack up in comparison, perhaps Mobile Suit Gundam: The Origin to see how you feel that Sayla Mass or Hamon stack up to the female characters in the Star Wars series.

That, and of course the actual bait. So in the end for us, it's too much handholding, nothing but grief, being accused of taking sides and what not. Not doing that again.

To distract from the bullshit kamikaze maneuver that ridicules any earlier attack move by a Death Star? A single suicidal X-Wing fighter could have taken it down that way at hyperspace speed, understand? No, this is all about SJW tactics to cause permanent internal trouble in the society at any cost. Pick a faction, lift it up and make the rest pissed off. Divide and conquer! That gives the bastards sponsored by Soros the orgasm they normally can't get anymore. They did that? I must have missed it. I'm shaking my head. It feels like they are using people of this group or that group to further their agenda. 8 hours ago, MrEsturk said: Kreia was awesome.

To play a dangerous, messy, finally even deadly political game of power with people domestically or internationally, largely unnoticed by the public, one has to distract the vast majority of the people first with artificially created problems they get media informed as being utterly involved in from now on. Hate such or such folks. There is always somebody one hasn't offended yet or one that played along sooo nicely last time, thus let's do it again. Got it? Wow! A vs B vs C vs D, alone or a in a coalition. It's a funny game you pay for that gets stirred up by the usual suspects as sponsors that have no homeland, no roots, no heart, no soul, no nothing, just money, a fuckin' lot of money to play a god with. And as long as you are hopelessly distracted by trivial trouble you'll miss the real game of power where your very existence is at stake. That is intended and for a long time, people will take their bait. Let's hope the late Johnny Cash was right and sooner or later, God'll cut 'em down... Welcome to the Desert of the Real ? And, oh yes, we (feminists; didn't even know that I had subscribed to a vacuum) are called to distance ourselves from trans women cos Men are not women. How are trans women not men? What is the difference between men and trans women? (Meghan Murphy). So, dear trans women, or more precise, trans men, don't expect me to play nice with you again anytime soon. Cum-ba-yah once in a month no more, ey

Guest Posted December 8, 2018 Posted December 8, 2018 I hate fucking god damn Google. Since the day my accounts were hacked I provided every fucking information about my accounts; names of the mails, titles, persons from my contacts, my birth date, phone number, living location; fucking everything except my credit cards' number.

Your Gmail account got hacked in the first place and most likely became suspect later on due to multiple Google accounts. I would recommend to make use of a different email provider. You sound Continental European thus I'd give GMX a try. Since 2012 we are no longer forced to start and/or run a Google account with a Gmail account. So my account never got hacked, Instead it gets put on ice for allegedly being my own imposter. It's the game of a 'fan club', if you get my meaning. And it always takes a fuckin' personal call to correct the bad joke... or I'd be history on YouTube, the channel gone together with the subscribers. The reason behind is the possibility to change the username at will. That wasn't possible when I started uploading music in early 2009 - the complete name of the university account got transferred to Gmail and the mine is fuckin' long. Merry Xmas 2008. We got you, babe! My good idea to cut the double family name in 2013 hasn't changed the facts - no anonymity ?

The writers in Star Wars Rebels are actually doing a pretty good job with the story and characters mostly. The should hire them to write and direct the next movie. Spoiler
