Sometimes people make games for the purpose of being as offensive as they can. I don’t remember the exact title but the game made off the Columbine shooting is the perfect example of that. Other times people make a game to specifically involve political issues in the gameplay, and it’s a masterpiece of a game. But the sequel to the game, made with the same model, pisses off at least half the community. If a game is specifically made with politics in it, that’s fine as long as it’s known ahead of time by the consumers. But if they try to be crafty about it and sneak political shit into it, that’s when a problem starts.

Fuck it all. There is always going to be some form of "politics" in every game. It doesn't matter what it is. It may show politics from 1000 years ago, or it may be the Queen vs the US President. They're all political in some way.

Games that do well wrapping up loose ends for characters
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
RDR2 does an amazing job of that. All the loose ends are taken care of, and the characters are finally satisfied. -
Do you have any video game art books?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Zelda. It contains all the art concepts from the original Zelda on NES, all the way through BOTW2. And the damn book weighs about a billion pounds too. -
Foreboding and a bit creepy, this one can't be beat.

What video game armor would you wear into battle?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
I would just go with a good solid leather armor. It's lightweight, and protects from almost anything. -
When are you willing to let a character you like die?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
The only game I play where this could even be a possibility is RDR2, and the character deaths are non-optional. They're part of the storyline, and you have no option on whether they live or die. -
It's portable and a lot more powerful. I use the Switch Lite. It doesn't dock like the original Switch, but it's a lot more stable. And if I don't want to play a game, I can watch Hulu or Netflix on it. The Switch Lite supports microSD cards that I haven't seen a Switch able to handle. For example I have a 512g in my Lite and about 100 DDL's on it. I also have about 30 carts that I play on it as well. No memory issues and they all run smooth as greased owl shit. The Switch can't support a cart that big. If I had $500 to spare I would buy a 1Tb card to put in it, but I can't afford that. The Switch/Lite is a superior gaming device. It does lack a few titles for whatever reason, but otherwise, it's more than worth getting. Especially for you Skyrim nuts. You can take the game with you so that when you're not home and you start jonesing you can grab your Switch and get your fix. The Witcher 3 is on it as well, for those of you that are all about that game.

Empathy? And for an enemy? Are you serious?

So many NES and SNES games are like this I couldn't really pick one. A lot of them have 7-8 levels, and that's about it. Many others are straight forward and done, like RC-ProAm. Most of the games from that era were short and quick. The longer ones were always hated because they were considered "too hard", like Zelda II for example. So for a short ass game, it's basically just take your pick and it's pretty much a guarantee that you won't be wrong.

That's actually really close to something that people eat here. We call it pikprik. It's pickled dick from either a hog or steer when we butcher them. I've never tried it, but it's really popular, and from what I understand it tastes just like any other part of the animal. Cracklins however, are delicious.

A Skyrim Quiz Only True Dragonborn Will Master
The Blackangel replied to The Blackangel's topic in General Chat
I haven't played Skyrim enough to take the test, but I thought it would be interesting to see what everyone scored on it. -
The only time I can honestly remember ever using him is against Edea at the end of disc 1. Almost all of her magic is reflected except the astral punch. So I just equip him to Irvine prior to the fight, and constantly summon him to refresh everyones reflect. That keeps Edea pretty busy casting dispel trying to get rid of it. Any other time, reflect is nothing but a burden. Also it doesn't junction for shit. It may increase something, but the even ara range spells will give whatever you're junctioning to a higher number.

Do sexualized character or armor designs bother you?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Celts wore at most leather armor, because they were still able to move well and had some protection. I know my clan always wore leather armor on their chest, arms and legs. When we would attack another clan, we always armored up with hard leather armor. When we were the ones being attacked, often times we didn't have time to get armor on. But it didn't stop us from fighting. And I'm sitting here typing this, so that is proof that some of us survived. -

Only True Terminator 2 Fans Can Ace This Trivia Quiz
The Blackangel replied to DylanC's topic in Movies & TV
I did ok. I got 16/20. One that I missed was how many Oscars it won. I had no clue, so I just took a shot. Another was that I simply couldn't remember who it was that had permanent hearing loss from the elevator scene. Since Edward Furlong was just a kid I guessed him, but was wrong on that one too. But all in all, I didn't do bad. -
I know what hentai is, but there was never any nudity in it or graphic sex. At least none that I remember.

Chauvin found guilty on all 3 counts

Cop Tazer ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Cop Gun +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ Explain to me logically how you mix these up. -
Chauvin found guilty on all 3 counts
The Blackangel replied to The Blackangel's topic in Debate, Politics, & Religion
I read that story. Bullshit. She didn't think she was using a tazer. There is no way in hell a person could mix the two up. A retarded monkey couldn't make that mistake. First of all they look nothing alike. They weigh a hell of a lot less than a gun. The safety is in a totally different spot. Tazers are usually made from a plastic shell. Unless the cops are carrying water guns, they're not going to mix that up. And lastly, cops don't carry a god damn tazer in the same spot as their gun. It's not in the holster that their sidearm is kept in. It is not humanly possible to mix the two up. I have a fire lighter that uses a plasma beam that is a cylinder. If they're going to try to come up with this kind of bullshit to get out of a murder charge, then they need to lose their badge instantly. -
If we're talking about moving to where our heritage comes from, my first choice would be Scotland. If that's not possible I would go next door to Ireland. And I would happily give up my US citizenship in exchange if I could. Germany would be my third choice as it's the last part of my European heritage. Not exactly an uncommon mix here in the states, I know. But my heritage means everything to me. I'm still trying to find a teacher to learn Scottish Gaelic, but all I can find is a school in St. Louis that costs thousands per every 6 weeks. Unless I hit the lottery this week, I'm screwed there. Don't get me wrong, I'm willing to pay, I just can't afford the fortune that school is wanting.

Derek Chauvin was found guilty today on all 3 charges he was facing for the murder of George Floyd (RIP) last year. He was facing both second and third degree murder as well as voluntary manslaughter. If I remember correctly, at the time of final statements he was facing a max of 75 years for the combined charges. He’ll probably only serve 10-15 at most though, (if that) with as jacked up as our penal and judicial systems are. Even fellow officers said he was over the line, and often used excessive force in situations that didn’t call for it. Hopefully he’ll be put in genpop and the inmates can get true justice for George Floyd.

I thought about adding Carbuncle, but I had never really said the phrase “I want...” in relation to him. I always wanted a moomba and Pupu.

How important are day and night for you in a game world?
The Blackangel replied to StaceyPowers's topic in Gaming Forum
Try the fucking Lemoyne Raiders. Especially at Shady Belle. There's a fucking army and only 2 of you to take them all on. And with one on the balcony with a god damn gatlin gun, the fun's just getting started. And it only takes place during daylight. -
Considering that I don't typically buy a lot of games anymore, it's not much of a problem. The only place I get games is on my Switch, and I have almost 100 DDL's on there as it is, plus I don't know how many in my wishlist. For that though, I typically wait until they go on sale, then see what I can spare the money for.
