The Gaming Den

A recent video from Nanjing's current situation made by a japanese and uploaded to youtube. Notice the complete lack of piles of millions of bodies anywhere.

New Nintendo mini-direct . Starts with disclaimer that due to COVID-19 things getting delayed and plans may change. Bravely Default II demo out (gotta love that Nintendo only shows gameplay footage when they have actual gameplay ready), ports of all the Bioshocks, Mechanicus, X-Com 2, Katherine (ye...

What are some good sources of China's coverup then? The epochtimes is known for their strong bias There's none. We live in the age of the internet and smartphones with cameras and VPNs, if there were millions of bodies in China from COVID-19, then you can bet there would be trending photos and vide...

As far as I know, the numbers out of Korea, Japan, and Taiwan are still reputable. But the rest of the major powers have not covered themselves with glory. -Username17 Italy's reporting bigger dead numbers from the virus than even China and that's after they stopped bothering counting the bodies an...

Germany is shutting down as well. Most of the borders have been closed. Most public life has been suspended. Guess who still has to go to work though. First, thank you for your service, Bruder. Second, be thankfull you have a job. I am looking at the financial part of the crisis and slowly waving g...

Coronavirus isn't intentionally trying to wipe out humanity, but it's also not intentionally trying to survive as a species. Each individual virus acts to survive and reproduce, but there is no greater plan to survive x generations from now. Coronavirus might just be terrible environmentalists with...

Jotun zombies duergar don't have any shock vulnerability, so seems like it's a psychological thing.

Mortal Engines, does it explain why cities are like that, how they feed themselves? Didn't watch the movie yet but did read the books and there it works like this: -Post-apocalyptic setting, big war happened in the past, nuclear bombs and other superweapons being dropped everywhere. -Major cities m...

Wait, so a 4th party is making their own Pathfinder of Pathfinder? Will that have a 5th party making content for it, perhaps going on to make their own offshoot version eventually? The 5th party making content for it has already been going for years now. Purple Duck games launched their own 3e/PF c...

"Oh, that's too bad. Where's the next dungeon?" Of course the players are also free to just ignore the DARK TERRIBLE SECRET plot and go after another plot, otherwise the game is a railoroad. Less determined to avoid the plot, and more unwilling to work for the price. If you found a signed...

Nobody sane huh... but there are plenty of rich insane people in D&D land... "Oh yes, I'll buy that cursed painting with the DARK TERRIBLE SECRET, right after you do this quest for me that'll uncover said DARK TERRIBLE SECRET! I'll be waiting inside my personal dungeon filled with exotic g...

All these parts lock together to create this system where a lot of players will say "Oh, a big painting that depicts IDONTCARE in this vampire dungeon? Cool, I'll stick it in the bag of holding, sell it, and convert it into MAGICSWORDIUM so I can kill dudes better." And GMs will put that ...

Basically vampires going "Yeah, play it extra safe humies, don't take any risks with transfusions, gimme that blood that's gone out of the very strict safety rules, I'll properly drink dispose of it somewhere safe where you can't see."

I think the first two forces are straightforward to visualize. I don't quite picture what the 'sgnature moves' of weak and strong nuclear forces and how they're different. Thing is, the electromagetic and weak forces are kinda the same and so is the strong force . Right now there's only two clearly...

Which leads to another problem though. One theory of the big bang is that the universe breathes. In a cycle of its own existence. First it goes bang, then it expands. It gradually slows down and the reverses direction. Speeding up the collapse gradually untill it goes CRUNCH. And then when all is c...

Read some stuff about the theory, now I hear the theory is being challenged but I don't fully understand As Stahlseele said Dark Matter was theorized to try to explain certain gravity-based observations of the universe's slowing expansion. But thing is, recently it's been observed that the universe...

Okay, what is with you guys and snowballs? What is the goal of snowball rules? Because all I can think of is making giant snowboulders to roll at people or make avalanches. Speaking of, avalanche rules might be appropriate. Aside from being thematically appropriate to the setting (and the aforement...

So after that, I decided that I wasn't going to see the next movie unless people said it made the setting into something I'd actually be interested in rather than more shitting on the ending of the Original Trilogy in order to rehash story beats from the Original Trilogy. And um... yeah. Not only w...

I noticed it yesterday, but the last time I used Photobucket to upload something, which was back in April, they didn't add any watermarks, so I think it must be a new-ish thing. And it's awful. It's been going for some time now actually, just in different forms. Basically some years ago Photobucket...

If knives are generally more dangerous than Pokemon, that means that serious bad guys will FIGHT with knives instead of Pokemon primarily. As somebody said, if you risk being caught doing something illegal, you would rather keep the illegal as down as possible. So for example Team Rocket's in parti...

Yes, fist fights and playing with sharp things. Even Miyazak didn't allow kids to fight each other with hammers and nails. But pre-school kids are allowed to fight anybody with Pokémon until either side stops moving, so ergo Pokémon must be safer than sharp/hard blunt implements, about the same leve...

They're pre-school kids. They haven't got to school and thus haven't been taught much of anything yet.

[*]Being a trainer who hits Pokemon until they fall down kicks ass. But isn't "Humie beats monster they fall down" what 99% of the other RPGs out there are for? [*]Combat in general is shackled to battlemats, which isn't inherently bad... but having nothing with a range beyond 15 meters i...

So for anybody interested in Logistics and Dragons, I would recommend checking up The Last Sovereign, currently available for free on Steam (not finished yet but already has plenty of content). At first glance it may look like your average hentai RPG Maker game, fuck everything and build up a person...
