On Kashyyk you're given the task of hunting down and killing a former wookie chief whose hiding on the forest floor. One of the dialogue options when you find him is to attack him while saying "Chuundar sends his regards," Chuundar being the guy who gave you the quest.

That is almost certainly a Godfather II reference. Or both. I think the line in Storm of Swords was meant as a GF allusion itself.

I don't know. It's possible, but that sounds like a bit of a stretch to me. If it's a reference it's a subtle one, which is the way to do it, I guess.

I mean, in comparison, the superman reference in DA:O was funny, but it was really blatant, and since you got a sword out of it, it was more than just a throwaway joke.

KOTOR also has that Limp Bizkit reference to "I did it all for the nookie," which was quite a bit less understated.

How does "she/they" work, exactly? You can call her "she" or "they"? Why not just stick to one of those two, then?

I work with people who use these pronouns. They're both lesbians. I assume that is the reason.

There is no need for rational explanation when a person's emotional state is tied to the whims of the wind.

Ironically, they created a lost golden age which we can only observe from the ruins of the current day with aching nostalgia.

Speaking of how once great franchises keep getting beshitted, there's a Mass Effect board game that just hit the shelves, and guess what:

This is the braindead dickhead who is so engrossed into politisperging and pronouns he's forgotten how to spell "adrenaline" correctly

If you honestly believe this is from ASOIAF, I have some grim news about your involvement with modern pop culture and its effect on you.
 
So is veilguard the same game as dreadwolf? I thought it was a mobile spin off.
 
I went with the templars this time. I was surprised at how unique the mission was. Thankfully the great hall never went to below 50% so Barris lived.

I also am romancing Blackwall as an elf thief. Pissed off though because the elven mage robes look based. I am curious about how his plot goes if you do romance him and find out about his true nature.

Went with orlesian makeover. Whats everyone's fav decor for your keep?

Bow rogue is somewhat interesting and I went with Sera's specialization because I've heard its the most fun but it isn't really hitting. Like the 'oh I use a potion and have ice on me' move. Apparently the last power makes you able to make everyone super fast.

Bow is fun but the daggers.........hmmm.

I work at a university, so I am at ground zero for stupid opinions. They are mostly just prigs, unaware of history, and to me it is very funny. Elvis Costello's "I used to be disgusted, now I try and be amused" comes to mind. These people are vindicative, petty, and the meanest spirited as can be imagined, and what power they have is often abused, yet they remain unhappy. It's hilarious. They want the world to end because they desire death. They live in luxury and still play the victim. They talk equality yet want to live under a dictatorship of sociopathic "scientists". Life is utterly grotesque; it is like living in a novel by Waugh or Nathanael West. I find it too funny for me to quit now. I can rile them up with a few choice questions and then plead ignorance.

Everyone should remember, despite all the power they have, despite the fact they receive money to destroy all your beloved videogames franchises, despite all this, they remain utterly dead to the world and themselves. They have no history. They have no culture. They have no love, and so can't really hate. They have never looked at the stars at night and muttered "Yes! How wonderful it is to be alive." They never saw the rising sun and asked, "Am I chosen?" They have never kissed a girl with any passion, and they are destined to be insects, which is how they see themselves. They require our pity, as humans are wont to give to the lesser species. They will do nothing and be content.

A valuable lesson I learned at my old work was when I told someone in good confidence- I was 20- about going to the American Renaissance conference. I was reported and was forced to have a HR meeting. I wasn't sacked as I was leaving work to study at university soon after and they knew it, and I was well liked that it seemed unfair to get rid of me, but it taught me to question those friendly faces that litter office departments up and down the western world. What hides beneath is a far more horrifying and empty reality than people like to claim.

I don't mind. The library is full of books for me to borrow, and I can vent here and at home to my family.

You ever feel down at work, write about it, that's my advice. People are by far the most interesting thing in the cosmos.

Boy, so close to release and it looks like nobody wants to talk about the game much anymore.

Even the usual suspects that make a dozen videos screaming about how woke this game is have moved on to other slops. This game doesn't even have the Streisand effect on its side.
