I did two hours of MoP Remix without being subbed to get the shado-pan set. Neat distraction, I guess.

please tell me i can romance the online lady

Give it another twenty years, and 2000s Internet slang and 2020s Internet slang will sound equally old-timey and interchangeable.

Playing more MoP remix (it’s fun) and finding myself missing the Crew you come across in the opening zone - Shokia, Kiryn and The Other One (Amber was robbed in Legion)

Nazgrim got a nice arc that then got awkwardly reanimated, Taylor…did not

[Kiryn I believe shares a voice actor with Aszhara and that might influence my feelings]

I like the Horde crew. I do not like the Alliance crew.

they both have one dud member and they’re both the guy, this says a lot about are society

Every 2000s-onwards RPG ever:

“Greetings, very special person! In recognition of your very special specialness, we have enlisted you into the Order of Very Special People Above the Law. Nothing you do from now on will have any legal consequences!”

On the side of the road, you see a malnourished-looking middle-aged woman with two kids. She’s asking for five coins to buy her family some bread. What will you do?

  1. Give her five coins for the bread
  2. Give her fifty thousand coins to buy a nice house
  3. Pester her with unsolicited flirt dialogue options until you unlock the sex scene
  4. Sell them into slavery
  5. Kill them all and sell the organs

She did return in Shadowlands but it was woefully underwhelming.

Moral choice games always be like “Do you A) Say something nice to them. B) Horrifically torture and kill them.”

What do you mean there are more stuff to morality beyond basic interaction or sadistic evil?

Comparing how ear gratingly annoying I find most of the Expedition voices in DF, versus how damn good Taran Zhu and Lorewalker Cho are, even Nazgrim and the others… Yeah. MoP was peak :pensive: We need to go back, avert WoD, and continue on a Better timeline… -sigh-

Went out to buy some snacks and a dude started chatting to me out of nowhere. Very friendly, very nice, too much of a chatterbox for my taste and also his breath smelled rancid. Shame.

It’s okay you can just say Dragon Age.

Despite definitely being a very special person, the Bhaalspawn in BG2 does not get his Order of Very Special People. Instead, she is above legal consequences because she possesses the sacred power of Quick Save and Quick Load (god I wish that was me).

Which is the CRPG that has an NPC quickload after you take them out? I loved that one

That is Baldur’s Gate 2: Throne of Bhaal, the expansion.

Turns out someone uploaded just that little moment to youtube, so here it is in 3 minute form

Semi-but-not-really related, in Fire Emblem Three Houses you’ve got the Divine Pulse feature/ability which lets you turn back the clock a bunch of turns mid-battle to allow you to restrategise if you screw up, essentially a pseudo-quicksave/load.

During development, originally, they had it that when fighting Edelgard she would be able to negate your Divine Pulse entirely. No quick-load for you. Never made it to the final release, but would’ve been such a cool feature for her.

“We can totally take her”

“…oh.”
