@ChachaNuVaughn@nichegamer Dont care. A pink haired female fighter pilot just persuaded me to not bother trying the series. I am plenty familiar with Japanese games and tropes, and I don't care- I wont touch anything with even a whiff of the appearance of woke ideology anymore.
@Not_the_Bee 41% are self inflicted. probably near 0% by "bigots". Makes sense that the rest are the freaks that would get in a relationship with them.
Nor sure. IIRC I had to go through a two step process from the official release ps2 discs I started from, patching to some other build (possibly where the Japanese VA came from, among other things like rebalancing?) and the actual translation patch went on top of that rather than the official release version. Maybe you are thinkng of that middle step version? I had the impression it was out and commonly preferred among fans over the base NISA release
They also have a translation for Ciel noSurge and I think you might be right about one for AT1, but I never used either.
@MonicaMAlmaguer My wife's body count was zero when we met. Guess I at least dont have to worry about throat cancer. If I convince her one day to actually enjoy that.
@MonicaMAlmaguer If I am in the car and the location we end up at requires street parking- she will literally panic, jump out and force me to park.
I should have been driving in the first place.
What doesn't help, is that women seem to all bitch and complain about the "asshole" they met or broke up with, which to any rational problem solving male indicates that the opposite is what she is indicating she wants.
Its actually a pattern match failure trap. The surface answer is to be the opposite of what she claims she didnt like.
But, who successfully fucked her already? The asshole. She is telling you what to do to succeed. The problem is that the correct interpretation doesnt follow the most logical route for men raised by mostly women like the last several generations, to be "nice" already.
Okay, THIS is exciting.
Margaret Weis just shared the initial planning board for the new Dragonlance World Book, coming in 2029, and there is a LOT hiding on that whiteboard.
The big idea?
The War of the Lance happens…but this time, YOUR characters are the Heroes of the Lance.
Some fascinating notes:
⚔️ “NEW HEROES OF THE LANCE”
🐉 Dragons: riding, combat, hierarchy, temperaments, individuality & more
🗺️ A sandbox of Ansalon with multiple starting locations
⏳ A “River of Time” system to keep the world moving
🧱 Canon moments treated like “LEGO bricks” rather than a railroad
⚔️ Epic warfare experienced from the soldier’s view, not just the army view
💀 Even sacrifice and character death seem built into the campaign structure
And maybe the most important note on the whole board:
“Because PCs exist, MCs do not, or at least not the same.”
That sure sounds like the classic Dragonlance story becomes the framework—but your table gets to decide what actually happens.
Tracy Hickman. Margaret Weis. Joe Manganiello. A Krynn sandbox. A War of the Lance that belongs to the players.
Yeah.
I am VERY interested.
What jumps out at YOU on this board?
@cafreiman I honestly don't think we are far off from tech workers deciding to Luigi the CEOs of companies that are replacing them with cheap, incompetent foreign scabs. This has been going on for 35 years now and has destroyed entire generations of highly skilled, intelligent American men.
I was raised to be a good man, nice is part of that.
Just another terrible way women lied to me and my parents, teachers, church and everyone else raised me wrong.
Being nice and good is just a way to be alone and mistreated.
And its the way women raise boys. Its arguably worse than how they don't raise girls with ANY knowledge about how to behave properly, especially toward men. Boys get actively sabotaged.
