I wanna fuck Hoda Kotb so bad.

She looks fun. “It’s WINE o’ clock!” Hahaha. Get’s me every time. Know what I would do? I’ll tell you what I would do.

She comes home, takes off her suit jacket, then plops face first on the bed and groans. Her cute way of tellin’ me it was a long ass day. I get on the bed and start rubbing her shoulders. She mmmm’s with approval. I work my way down. When I get to her ass, I skip it! Instead I run my finger nails against the backs of her bare thighs. I get down to her knees then change direction, placing my palms on the sides of her legs as my hands slip up her skirt wherein my fingertips brush the waistband of her thong.

And then, I came in my pants.

-FIN-

When you think about it; PST set the bar for social justice RPG's of the future - only it didn't go far enough - the main character should have been not only nameless, soulless and alignmnmet-neutral, but genderless as well. A blank identity (a blank slate if you will) in both body and mind. Then as you play the game and make decisions, the reactivity of the planes would form your character as the developers saw fit.

In this respect, if writers such as Amber Scott had stayed on and played a part in additional writing for the game; she would not have been hampered by the restrictions of the 2nd edition rules, and the limitations of the IE. We might even have seen a game improved in the vein of such writing calibre as MCA himself alluded to in SOD: a PST actually enhanced.

Insert Title Here Strap Yourselves In
Turnbased is an adaptation of RTWP which, though it may seem slow and clunky in comparison, has great benefits for the neurologically diverse. In RTWP, the ability to control every party member and issue orders at any time simultaneously can cause serious feelings of stress and even sensory overload to someone on 'the spectrum', as can seeing multiple enemies all taking action at the same time. By limiting actions to one at a time, high- (and even low-) functioning autistic people and other mentally different people can share the joy of RPG games. The predictable, repetitive cycling of turn order also lends an air of ritual to gameplay, which gives much-needed reassurance to the those with Aspergers, who benefit greatly from this routine. In the past the otherly abled have been oppressed by discriminatory taunts like ''Use the Autopause Menu'', but as Turnbased becomes increasingly popular, these exclusionary voices are being drowned out by those advocating acceptance for everyone.

Far Cry: New Dawn will be the best RPG of 2019 and if there are 2 or 3 dialog choices gated by skill checks ya’ll will be jacking off to it like it’s the second coming of Obsidian.

We should give the writers of the Outer Worlds a chance. I don't think their demographic has been represented yet. And surely we must all be within the demographic they're appealing to?.

I've only completed Planescape: Torment twice.

And I don't remember it that well
I'm 46, been gaming PC RPGs since Ultima II on an Apple //+.

Never played PS:T before, bought the EE last year and haven't made it past the intro area yet.

I may have just triggered myself. I feel funny.

It definitely has slow parts and shit combat, but there are moments that have really stuck with me and which I found very moving. I found the ending especially mind-blowing and I actually go and watch the various possible outcomes on youtube every once in a while. It's definitely worth at least 1 run through.

Certainly over-rated but still a fantastic game. Play it already, Grandpa.

The perfection that Cainarsky will bring to crafting in the Outer Worlds will make the SJW writing from the feministas irrelevant.

You miss the point:

With emoj button, you CAN know how good/bad a post here.

Without it, even if ten posters reply to the post with an emoj, you wouldnt know. Because it wouldnt show on the post~ You have scroll down pages upon pages to check how many reply to it.
