The Gaming Den

"You can only truly wow a player the first time he sees [a cutscene]. I felt if players saw the cutscenes outside of the game, they would no longer serve as rewards for playing the game, so I've decided against having them." I'm pretty sure that's being a whiny, petulant baby bitch to just...

Yeah, I don't get what the hate was for Subspace Emissary. It was hands down the best thing that has ever come from the franchise. Subspace was 90% filler garbage, just drag-out fights with hordes of nameless and faceless enemies that weren't any fun. Bosses were kind of neat and so the boss fighti...

Broly is a broken piece of shit, nerf pls. I run Piccolo, Vegeta Blue, and Blackarot.

Dragonball FighterZ (which is pronounced dragonball fighters) is lots of fun. It's also surprisingly beginner friendly, which is something fighting games have always been terrible at.

And you can have a team of 3 Gokus, because of course you can. Only 2 Vegetas though.

Okay, time for the real answer: According to mythology, chaos is associated with the element of water and with badness. Therefore, any antagonist that is wet and/or sticky is Chaotic and any antagonist that is dry and/or crunchy is Lawful. This relationship is inverted for allies, because Good is t...

Oh, wow, you can find someone at the intersection of a couple of the most common niches of a hobby (such that it is) with the most well-developed networking infrastructure of any hobby in all of existence? What a surprise. The reason why it's easy to find a dom poly furry foot fetishist is because ...

Oh man another place where I can stick my competitive Smash Brothers dick even though it's only kinda related? I'll take it. So there was/is this great game called Super Smash Brothers: Melee , and it was wildly popular and people ran lots of tournaments for it. It was fun, everything was beautiful,...

I don't understand "fuck sports" as a whole. Sure I make sportsball jokes, but even then I like watching tennis and think sports are fun. Sportsball is just a joke to bother friends who are fans when they repeatedly bring up a sport I've told them I don't give a shit about in the past. I d...

This is excellent, but you should convert it to Pathfinder so my scrubby friends will be able to use it. I mean... is there anything at all that would need to change for it to run under Pathfinder? You need to say "Pathfinder" and add some fiddly ACFs and a bunch of goddamn stupid things ...

I've now gotten enough playtime with a new game to recommend it. Fortnite, by Epic Games, is fucking incredible. It's been a very long time since I've had this much fun with a shooter, probably because you can build things in seconds and it lets you be creative. So many shooters are crippled by bein...

Bright is a cop movie. If you don't think Training Day or Assault on Precinct 13 are amazing movies, you are going to bounce off Bright pretty hard. It is not a Will Smith adventure movie. It's not a fantasy movie. It's not a crime movie. It's a straight cop movie with surprisingly discrete comedy ...

So, I just watched Bright , the somewhat hyped modern fantasy cop movie. It's pretty good, mostly. Not great, but good enough. However.... Will Smith's character is super unlikeable . Not just wrong, but downright unpleasant. And the attempts to lighten it with the actor's famous brand of "cha...

I prefer shaven, simply because i do not like hairs in my mouth <.< Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think hairs grow on the bits you put your mouth on when performing oral on a woman. They would have to be very long hairs to cover the clit or the flappity-flaps (which is a medical term), so ma...

Xanathar's Guide to Everything has 17 pages of names and only names.

That's all you really need to know about how bullshit it is. 17 pages of names.

What it will do is fuck with the entire millisecond brokering on the big stock exchanges on the opposite ends of the world. And those lot are the ones that can actually afford the storage requirements. Communications are still pretty far away because of decoherence (which is why quantum programs ri...

Not teleportation (your transmission qubit remains in the same place) but it's essentially instant communication if you have two qubits that are entangled, no matter the distance. It's super secure and setting the entanglement is done at the speed of light I think. With lasers. I have literally no i...

The joke is he isn't a good citizen because he harasses people by masturbating all the time and trying to get them to watch (or just doing it on the phone with them). Classic Louis C.K.

Does it help anything with the traveling salesman problem? Something about how a quantum bit can be in three states vs two (because of it being in a superposition of both off and off, which counts as a quasi third state or something) makes it really good for traveling salesman and other optimizatio...

Programming for quantum computer is very different from programming for standard computers. Maybe very far in the future quantum computing will be good for gaming, but right now quantum computing is for optimization problems (it's been a while, but I wrote an article on them and spoke with the folks...

Video game pick pocketing can fuck right off as far as I'm concerned. It's always felt to me like busywork for save scummers and the ocd set. It can fuck off, but it's not busywork or for save scummers (at least not in Divinity). In the game we're talking about it's incredibly quick and easy to do....

I am probably a good deal of the way through it and save for certain ambushes and maybe a boss monster or three the game isn't all that hard. I restarted it two times after giving a good deal of the characters you find and the different classes a try and I have to say that from what I can tell the ...

I can kind of see what those descriptions are going for (at least for some of them), but I don't see how any actual person would hit three in any of them. It's a stretch to say I kind-of-sort-of hit two in a few. Bitch please, I hit literally all of Fighter (though I hit it a lot harder 2 years ago...

There's a number of people that really don't like talking or even hearing about the game system being less than perfect. If it produces less than perfect results, but it might plausibly be because the group was playing it wrong, that's not so bad. But having it known that the system is definitely f...
