Re: What's the first setting you change when starting a new game?

Sir Cucumber — Thu, 14 May 2020 10:33:37 -0000

As a turn-based game player, the first thing I always look for is any way to increase game pacing, either by increasing animation speeds or deactivating them entirely.

Hey man, great to hear from you! What are you up to these days? Playing anything good? Playing anything awful? Yeah the blog is in a sad state of affairs but I HAVE A KID NOW so well there's that. Also we somehow managed to convince the Indie Fund to let us join them, so that's been really awesome, and we've learned a lot from it.

omg the difficulty is not even close to ghouls and ghosts or ghosts and goblins. not even close to close. But relative to most games published today it's pretty tough. Definitely recommend it. I just bought the next one as well, Dark Souls.

oh man, been there. Which site? okcupid? I did them all. Even filled out the fucking psychological profile for eharmony before realizing that same-sex dating was literally not an option in their interface. and oh how the singles ladies did inquire as to my prospects on jdate. When I wasn't fulfilling someone's fetish or parental requirements, I found myself quite successful at getting first dates, but almost never a second. I'm much more charming with a backspace key, it seems. Good luck.

Oh and have you tried Wesnoth? I've been playing through the single-player campaigns for nearly six months now: http://www.wesnoth.org/

I'm usually too much of a pussy to ever truly play a game evil, so in Fallout I defused the bombs and saved the kiddies and then stole everything that wasn't nailed down. I even pumped up my extra weight perks. You have to steal a lot of canned beans to get that nasty halo off your head...

thanks man! Great to hear from you- thought you'd gotten tired of waiting around for a new post and quit me. Work has only gotten worse and I've been feeling a profound lack of motivation lately. I'd love another post from you. Maybe I can help with the screenshot and caption...what's the theme?

thanks man. I'm just falling farther and farther behind with work, and I couldn't find it in me this weekend. I've got a Mrs. Lanningham starting next week though and by god she's going to sort my life out if I have to do it for her myself. Though I suppose that would defeat the purpose...

my problem with Haldeman is that after a while, all his novels seem like thinly veiled re-imaginations of the Vietnam war. Though his most recent books all seem centered around imagining what it's like to be a young girl...Anyone got some meth?

Re: Elevator Action: the shaft of solitude

Sir Cucumber — Mon, 28 Sep 2009 15:14:30 -0000

Forever War FTW!

Yeah, big brother Doomeru turned me onto Haldeman, and basically everything else I know that is cool...god rest his lazy drunken soul...

Did you ever see the "graphic novel" they made of it? That was pretty sw33t.

I read lots of PKD back when I still had cannabinoid receptors, but I kind of OD'd his constant themes of isolation, misery, and death....because i try to keep it cheerful...

okay to tell the truth after a couple hours I fled to a bar and drank myself sleepy...That shit was tough.

Marsbound, by Joe Haldeman.

Normally I lack the attention span for anything without pictures and punching. What do they call those again? Oh, right, Graphic Novels...
