So, I stayed up an extra hour more than i should have because I was curious to see how close a cyborg headhunter in Savage Rifts (the savage worlds version of rifts) can get to a full combat borg, and the answer is...NOT EVEN close.
A combat borg has something like 25-30 points of strain.

skype:
- took 2~5 minutes to start up, ran like shit, froze 1min every time you tabbed back in
- deleted conversations after like a month
- had ads on like 2~3 different parts of the window at once
- whole group had to chat in basically one "channel"
- calling the skype group would notify everyone

genuine flaw and I'm not sure how to fix it...BUT having a one handed item with nothing in your off hand in Avowed looks kinda bad?

I think Avowed wins the game for "most often times I will entirely rebuild my character purely because I found a new item that looks HELLA cool"

God...Sagrimas' plan is a great villain plan because you can totally see why and how he'd come to the conclusions, but they're all entirely incorrect and wouldn't work and he murdered, like, eight people to do it!

Marius from Avowed is a somewhat polarizing character, but the thing about him that I love is, well, beyond the fact he's a dwarf character in a fantasy setting with black powder weapons who uses a bow and I think that's really neat...

In the game Avowed, you meet a godlike of Eothas, and something I really love about the conversation with him is that his perspective on Waidwen is shaped by his point of view and what he knows and, thus, is almost completely wrong

My fundamental issue with houseruling is threefold
1) People keep fucking conflating it with play. There are so many people who blithely admit that the game they're playing either sucks or doesn't apply as if it's a good thing. "We played a whole session without touching the mechanics!"

due to an inexplicable quirk of physics, space fighters cannot use missiles and must use cannons, vindicating, at long last, that weird school of air force guys who have been wrong for the past 40 years

Noah Gervais' long video on Pillars 1, 2 and Avowed is extremely good but I have a deep, DEEP disagreement with him

The decline of right wing cultural production is just due to the fact that they don’t like culture, they like the signifiers of culture, ie “classic sculpture means white people are better.” They don’t like art at all except for this purpose. They don’t even like the nerd stuff they whine about

why did Don Bluth never make a movie about Mrs. Brisby getting laid like the perfect lady she is? was he stupid? did animators in the 1980s lack my vision?

I got a great question on my Ramadan thread: do Muslims also need to avoid consumption by proxy in videogames? Does consuming in-game food or drink break the fast? Basically: does your character have to go fast?
The answer is no, unless you happen to be playing Sonic the Hedgehog.

many people's reflexive dislike for most longrunning series' endings, regardless of those endings' actual level of quality, is a manifestation of Man's Fear of the Void Beyond Death and distaste for actively contemplating nonexistence.
