The Gaming Den

I got to read the original Paul Matijevic post where he "defamed" shitmuffin. It was a pretty good post, shitmuffin definitely shit himself at a Chik-Fil-A on a Sunday. I'd never of known about that post, or the aforementioned pants-shitting, had he not won a lawsuit against the guy who wr...

Short and ugly? Platform shoes and makeup.

Granblue Fantasy Versus is made by Arc System Works, who also made BlazBlue and Guilty Gear if that gives you any idea. I haven't personally played it though, so I can't tell you how complicated it is or isn't. It is very much unlike those games, aside from the anime style. They intentionally went ...

That sounds great, my no.1 complaint on DBFZ is the auto combo's Does Granblue play more like Samurai Shodown where it's landing one big attack? Granblue plays a lot like traditional 2D fighting games, so a Street Fighter or even King of Fighters. It doesn't have air dashing, it doesn't have long, ...

I have obtained Granblue Fantasy Versus, and it is a Very Fun game and shockingly approachable. I main fanservice whip catgirl, aka Ferry, because she has a whip, cat ears, and a short skirt. I think I might decide to become actually competitive in it, because it's a lot less robotic than my DBFZ ga...

If at any point you condone the genital mutilation of babies who cannot consent , you should heavily reconsider your position and take out the (circumcised) cock that's lodged into your brain. As compared to all those babies who can consent to things. Me: "I prefer circumcised dick to uncircum...

Yeah, honestly, uncircumcised is better. I disagree. I don't have a very strong preference, but I prefer the kind of dick that's going to heaven, thank you very much. However, uncircumcised ones sometimes look like they're wearing tiny jackets and that's cute. And doesn't circumcision reduce transm...

I can't believe fbmf would do such a frivolous thing for no reason.

FUCK.

The Chapo podcast is very crude, but also pretty funny most of the time (probably at their best when doing a reading series, like Ben Shapiro's novel). Their targets virtually all deserve it and, much like seeing Kaelik's breakdowns of the election, it makes you feel more sane to see that there's a ...

If there's one thing I've learned from my time on the Internet it's that if you allow anything phallic onto your app people are going to use it to talk about dicks. There is an app named "Bro" that was meant to help bros find bros to do bro things with. They allowed eggplant emojis and now...

Like, I don't expect success. I don't really want to meet most of these women, they all have "can I speak to your manager?" haircuts and their profiles seem fake. I dunno, maybe I need to move on from my last relationship and this is more symbolic than practical. Online dating is full of ...

Haha yeah that mage was terrible - instead of being a competent swordfighter or, maybe even, carrying more than 1 sword...or using his magic directly against his opponent... Whatever happened to the assassin mage with the crazy pet thing? I guess he wasn't available to hire by either side... That w...

The only dumb part was captain "my magic is SWORDS!" who did fuck all, but whatever. Shoulda sent the neck snapping mage to kill the big bad. Haha yeah that mage was terrible - instead of being a competent swordfighter or, maybe even, carrying more than 1 sword...or using his magic direct...

The last episode of The Witcher is easily one of the best mid-level mage fights in fantasy. The show itself barely kept me on, and still barely keeps me on, but that episode was the tits. After several forgettable episodes it came out swinging with great effects, solid twists, and just bonkers mage ...

2020 has already been a better year than 2019 for me. Let's keep it going, 2020!

Being gay seems like too much work. There's quite a few guys I'd plow until they cried like a bitch, but then I'd have to go to pride parades, and be an activist, and drink heavily, and all sorts of nonsense. The trick is finding a guy who'd be into a dom/sub relationship. Plow him all you want, th...

I dunno, there are some bears I want.

Then you give me your number.

This comic reads almost like a self-parody, like the "Straw Feminists In The Closet" pages from Kate Beaton's Hark, A Vagrant! old webcomic. I'd go so far as to say this comic is self-parody, but unintentional self-parody. I read them blasting zombies for a bit and it's something a heavy-...

I only started proper tabletop in the past decade. My previous experience was playing in games my cousin tried to run while I was a very dumb child. Now I'm a very dumb adult and the Internet exists, so my weird obsession with D&D in spite of never being able to play it is now something I get to...

People are trying to compare 5e monsters to monsters of equal CR in 3e, and this doesn't work, because 5e CR is batfuck insane and makes no sense. Remember, the DMG encounter guidelines (which came out after the MM) work off the XP totals of the monsters, not their actual CR. I'm glad I've never tr...

My apartment has, once again, claimed to have not gotten my rent check, waited a few weeks to let me know, and is demanding a new check with late fees. So I get to call the bank again, let them know, and see if they'll threaten the apartment with fraud charges, again , to get them to fuck off with ...

5e's rules fucking suck for heroes who go into dungeons to fight dragons. The combat is boring and takes forever. It works , but most systems work. Even if players are taking their turns quickly (and they should, there isn't a whole lot to think about) the combats are grindy and boring. 5e is simil...

That doesn't make it a great or even necessarily good game. However, it is clearly a satisfactory game. The game is not a true rules light game, but its combination of rules and system complexity seems to be about right for most casual players. Having played the stupid thing it works about as well ...

Every game of 5e I've played in or do play in is just MTP bullshit (which is fun, but it's all asspulls and every character sucks at everything) and horrible combats and then everyone gets bored and the campaign fizzles out.
