The Dutch Ghost

My chameleons bugs mostly arrived dead because they were sitting at the post office instead of being delivered.

You know what I mean, pandering to the social political activists, feminists, etc.

O, you turned into one of those people...

Okay I do not want to sound like that either, I want reviews that don't pander to anyone, pro or against okay?
Neutral reviews, games on their own merits.
I honestly don't want to discuss or read about politics.

This is an example of an image I would like to scale up. (needs to rotated a little) https://sta.sh/014d290sa81d

This would be the result even with AI unfortunately.

Ah dammit, I see what you mean. It will probably not do any better with those old book covers I talked about.
I genuine wish the original prints were still available.

It all blends together at some point. I find myself recalling conversations from twenty years ago while playing games that relate to the exchange.

Well it is really annoying as I have been looking for that episode ever since I downloaded the whole show.
BTW did you know there was a high demand for accordion repair technicians during the 90s?

The adds during the show told me so.
Also really weird to see old promos for the Simpsons Season 1 again along with promos for Alf.

Yeah if it is about filling a whole you might want to find something else to put in there.

Indeed, something really feels like the "missing piece" rather than another infatuation.
It were these W&W games I wanted to get but damn are they expensive and I hate getting stuff that just collects dust.

I think this article kind of sums up my feelings on my desire for retro collecting https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2012-09-12-crippled-by-nostalgia-the-fraud-of-retro-gaming

I felt the same way around 2012-2017 but seems AAA is actually delivering good games again. I mean RE2 and DMC5 made me nut at least.

I managed to overcome the urge and I just turned to Fallout 2 again, playing it with the restoration mod for the first time.

F2RP FTW!

If you can get Fallout 4 Game of the Year Edition in a dirt cheap sale, it's worth getting. Actually, on Steam, it's half price now until June 17. May not be cheap enough. Play with mods if you get it.

Oh if I really want it I can get it on Play Asia for around fifteen euros. That beats any sales on Steam.

Something else I wanted to do was bring Tibbet's facility back in a mod/fan DLC. The player would accidentally be caught by the computerized warden and would have to organize a prison break only to discover that letting the prisoners escape into the wasteland is not such a good idea as all are infected with Limit 115.
The player could work with the warden/ODYSSEUS, the prisoners, or work out a solution with both.

I'd have liked to see how that might have evolved. Tibbet's prison was in Arizona, I believe, so you're having fun times in legion territory. How the interactions between the Legion town heads nearby, and the warden could be interesting. Some people may even *want* to release Limit 115 prisoners to spawn unrest in the East. Fun times.

I really had this wish to bring back some of the locations planned for Van Buren. The player would go to Denver to seek the source of the plague, the Nursery to develop a cure, and BOMB001 when the player learns from the Warden that as part of a containment protocol it activated BOMB001 in order to sterilize the infected region.

Good. Then play a game with me. ;)

Play The Messenger. Love letter to Nes' Ninja Gaiden and SuperMetroid.

You are talking to one of the biggest Metroid fans probably on this forum. I adore almost every game except the two first games (to old), Metroid Hunters, Other M, and Federation Force (was okay, not good, especially in SP mode). Hmm, the Messenger

Yes.

I actually read it more than I post. But that might me because I don't have much time usually. So, whenever I have the time, I prefer to post here on NMA or other forums where I am a member for longer.

Although there seem to be a lot of edgy posters around there compared to here. xD

If you want serious talk then you're better off in NMA, if you want edgy stuff then yes.

Never played them actually. In general I don't like fantasy with the exception of Planescape Torment as it was so alien and not Tolkien esque.
I always preferred robots, aliens, science above wizards, trolls, orcs etc.

I think in regards to fantasy it depends on what you do with it.

It seems the earlier ES games were tolkien and has a really gigantic fix on politics

Of course, there are plenty of very unique fantasy settings that do not depend on or use the tropes from European mythology/Tolkien esque fantasy such as Asian ones. Don't think there are many East European ones.

Still I prefer sci fi in general.

Sorry I don't really understand your question. Could you elaborate or write it differently?

REMEMBER THIS?! GIVE US YOUR MONEY!!!

i gotta say i ain't surprised tho. hollywood loves just banking off of any regocgnizable property. and i mean ANY property that might POSSIBLY be remembered by ANYONE. its why there's a kindergarten cop 2 for christs sakes.

Hopefully we get just a slew of Colonial Marine action, maybe some Socialist separatists, all that jazz.

Thing is that I am left leaning, but lately I feel I am more and more a moderate. Eventually or perhaps now already some may even say that I am right leaning.
I am sick of this "Everything is offending" culture.

I am slightly left leaning also. But I feel its defintly and ALT left thing. Maybe I dont even know anymore

>movie made a long time ago about an even longer time ago doesn't reflect modern ideals

Wow what a shocker

Also, I think it's unfair to talk about Arcanum as if it's a fantasy game. It's not, the game began at the point in time where technology is just begin to take over the world, and I'd say they did really good job of making it appear more steampunk than fantasy despite of the elements from the latter appearing in a lot of the places in the game.

Just to throw something into the mix. Maybe the orginal mass effect. I mean it is little dissimilar. But in en-essence its still an action-Shooter RPG

lolpop109. Played Mass Effecy 1, 2 and 3. One recently again, reminded me why I think 1 and 2 are better than 3 but I have no interest in playing the series ever again. Bioware didn't live up their promises of an interconnected experience.

Fanboys in general are retarded. Our torch holding for the old Fallout's to the extreme some have taken it is absurd. These Youtubers make old school Fallout fans look like idiots. Ultimately it is all stupid video games and we all suck.

Smash fans don't shower. Shows you they are mentally ill to obsess over the game so much they don't bathe.

Wow. I don't really know what to say.
These people can't be bothered to shower and wear clean clothes because they are so engaged in their games?
Or do they absolutely have no idea what bad B.O. does for one's appearance and reputation?

Even I am quite conscious about my body odor and I hate it when it is clear that other people are repulsed by it when I smell like an old gym sock that has not been washed in ages.

It was so weird, there was this game map full of buildings and characters but nothing really was happening.
There was also this major radio transmitter or station that apparently was the focus of conflict and tension between factions but I never found out what the reasons were that people wanted to own it or destroy it.

Sounds like Fallout 4, tbh.

There's a mod out there where you can give birth to baby super mutants in FNV.

From what I hear I should not even bother being surprised any more.
Once again reality proves to me that I ain't seen nothing yet.

You seen the trypophobia hentai manga? The one where a girl starts developing tiny holes all over her body and she starts fingering the holes?

Most likely, when it comes to RPGs games set in a medieval/fantasy setting in general do better than those in other settings.
Heck, Bethesda even tried to to make Fallout a bit more standard RPG fare like such as how they re-imagined some of the factions.
I can be wrong but I think I heard that Fallout 4 still made Bethesda more money than Fallout 3.

Maybe? Without sales data it's plain speculation. But it's a likely case scenario.

With FO3 we still got people defending it with cape and sword until like a year before FO4 came out. Fo4 came out like 3 years ago and last year there were no FO4 fanboys already, or at least not fanboys ardent enough to come "show us modern game haters!"
