it especially fucked me up because Sisko mentioned vising his sister in Portland so for a bit I thought that's where it was happening

826 - Pedestrian Has the Right of Slay

p1 - A 'Fred Durst-style guy' whose feet are bionically grafted into gigantic sneakers (the Pedestrian) is stomping down a dungeon corridor while several orcs flee in terror. Behind the guy, bloody splatters and footprints.
Pedestrian: I'm walkin' here! I'm walkin' here!
P: Hey! I'm walkin here!
p2 - The Troll grabs a panicked orc by the scruff of its neck
TT: Hey where the hell are you going?? What kinda orc is afraid to die??
P (in the bg): i'm walkin im walk-
Orc: N-Not like this! No steppy!
p3
TT (handing the orc an SMG): I'll catch hell, but, desperate time; take this +12 Uzi
Orc ('spraying and praying' in the general direction of the Pedestrian, headshotting another orc in the process): NO STEPPYYY!!
Gun: BRR-RATATATA!
P (three shots bounce harmlessly off his enchanted oversized sports jersey before a fourth lands in the gap in his backwards cap, 'doming' him) Hey- Hey- Hey I'm- AW!
p4
Beireia (through a Crystal Ball Communicator): What the hell!! You can't just give a gun to an orc!!
TT (holding the CBC up to the orc, who is now wearing sunglasses and a black leather jacket, and is smoking a cigar): Look, look...
Skeletal Big Mouth Billy Bass: *Guitar Riff*
B: Ehh... got its own issues, but good work, I guess.
Narration: New Monster: "Cool Orc"!

i remember a 4e game ferrinus was in where the GM was terrified of letting him make his character deliberately worse, because he's ferrinus so of course it would actually be a charop freakshow trojan horse

cats love it when you call them your little handsome guy. they also love it when you call them a stupid little freak whom you hate. because they are stupid.

do they have jrpg in star trek

tacks carried me through half of the game. legit insane tool, both for bosses and exploration with how many "massive charging enemy in a narrow corridor" spots you encounter.

Absolutely devastated by this news. SpaceDrake was no doubt a huge influence in drumming up interest for Japanese indie games localized into English and pushing for them on digital distribution storefronts like steam. Huge loss. Might be time for another playthrough of Recettear in his honour.

A tweet from Robin Light-Williams (@BlondRobin) stating the following: Hello to anyone reading this. I am Robin Light-Williams, formerly lead translator for Carpe Fulgur. I am very sorry to announce that my friend and business partner Andrew Dice, @SpaceDrakeCF, has passed away. Pursuant to that, Carpe Fulgur will be ceasing operations.

my friend was telling me about a new Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead starring Alex Winter and Keanu Reeves and I got so hype I uppercut my whole family before realizing they meant Waiting For Godot

I felt like I was being gaslit with how people were talking about that spot. I didn't breeze through it but no jump took me more than a few tries, waaay easier than PoP.

the silksong tool-ignorers are a funny case because in my experience they're making the game harder and also saying the game is too hard.

it's so fucked that it's probably cheaper to buy a Switch 2 now than it will be a year from now and that it has nothing to do with shortages or scalpers. i don't even want one right now but thinking of paying $50-100 more when i DO is insane. the literal opposite of what's supposed to happen.
