I’ve gotten it to work once or twice, it’s very broken though. they clearly ment for it to be a heavily scripted set of events like you’d see in a vault not too different from the vault you get Curie from, but it’s totally convoluted and no one explains what’s happening and the directions the game gives you are vague and unhelpful, but you basically have to go into specific buildings at specific times and hide in specific places in the right order to trigger all the events and then it sort of makes sense, but if you go from step A to step K the game just skips you to that point in the scripted events without telling you it skipped crucial story info and you’ll have no idea your need to go clear out a cave system near the town. so it’s not broken if you happen to accidently trigger all the events in the right order, but you need a detailed guide to do that. your usually just going to mess to the order then need to do stuff without being told you need to do it.

I still play it once in a few years for nostalgia, and it’s a fun trip down memory lane, but anything beyond fan patches don’t really interest me.

I played it on release, absolutely insane game, the graphical details, the open world was HUGE! and the amount of things you could do. I used to just go live in Vivic. hang out at book stores. follow npc’s around watch their routine. crazy. Anyway. yeah, the combat was allowed broken, the original shipped game didn’t even have a hud with your heath bar. nearly every spell in the game could one shot you, and you just had to guess if you were hitting stuff with melee weapons, no real feedback to figure it out. and nothing hit a target unless you actual got the level up to like 80-100 in it’s weapon class skill. so. yeah. and levitation and other crazy jumping and flying stat boosts were janky as fuck, and the best pro tip for the game on how to get through most caves or dungeons was to just turn off clipping, levitate, and walk through the void to get to whatever was needed for the quest. and a lot of the game was pretty much empty rooms with a jar or box with nothing in it. and there’s almost no voice acting, it’s a lot of reading, and the game is like ‘go to Abrrivabrigarvigggara in SW Corvigabaaagrivaagaa’ and you’re like… directions? and the npc’s would give you the wrong directions to get there. the mage quest was basically locked behind randomly finding a cave with a mage who didn’t want to pay dues and no way to find it in game but luck. technically the game came with a physical map they actually expected you to use, but luckily unless you had an overclocked computer that wasn’t commercially sold until a few years after the game came out, the map was never going to load for you anyway. I didn’t see a loaded map until like 5 plus years after the game came out.

so yeah I love the game with all my heart, but I don’t recommend anyone under the age of 35 try it. your just going to be sad about how badly the game parts of the game are. well what we still consider game parts. now a days no one is impressed a game could have an actual library with 100s of actual books you can pick up and actually read and they are all unique and at least 10 pages long.

tricky with only four dimentions, but I’d use a Grathenbour’s loop with a transverse Z axis movement if gimbal locks are ignored, naturally.

teal really proved living well is the best revenge.

I think as long as you’re constantly rewritting you’re moving in the right direction.

he said he wouldn’t teach or accept Samaritan disciples because that would be like feeding the dogs before feeding the children. He wasn’t being nice.

I spent decades taking it seriously. The occasional bit with ‘‘yeah don’t be an asshole’’ isn’t worth anything next to the pro slavery, pro genocide, hateful parts. Even Jesus called Samaritans dogs compared to so called pure blooded Jews, none of this is morally OK when you hold it accountable to itself as a text.

To be fair, Marijuana is an actual name, it’s not what weed was always called, and it was often used as the preferred name by the US government because they wanted to characterize it as a Mexican racial trait.

this is the primary way I interact with my kids teachers, and they’re in public school. we use an app, so the parents don’t have access to the staffs personal phone numbers, so there’s really no response unless the staff member is available to read and respond as part of their job.

well… I agree you should just swear.

I agree. I’ve had problems with this working for a school district, when a student was younger a nickname teachers and students called them was innocent enough, but as they are getting older they find it embarrassing and they have difficulty communicating on top of that, so it was a headache. the adults should stick to preferred names only.

Dark Souls. hopefully I can bring the age of dark, or die. or go mad. all good things.

May the inside of your ear always itch. Just past the bend.

Firefighters don’t deserve to die, they don’t harm anyone. But I agree the boot of the oppressor isn’t sympathetic.

Some just have the implication of time travel, or summons that feel like time travel. Or hidden bosses that feel like time travel.

I never could have seen the day coming when a number could out sell 69…

That’s not the problem. the problem is having a “lets turn Chris’ mental illness that’s harmed no one so far, into everyone’s violent problem!” machine.

that’s a bad machine.

the national guard removed it in a training exercise, it was deemed a danger to public health as some 20+ people needed to be rescued from the site, and 2-4 people died trying to reach it. it was in a difficult area to hike to, that required crossing a river, so a lot of people who wanted to visit it didn’t have the skills to reach it and return safely.

You’ll never be a billionaire if you keep foolishly indulging in the luxury of eating and drinking. You’ll also wasting time eating and expelling waste, you could have two or three other micro hustles to get ahead, you’re only two or three centuries away from success!
