Huh, I guess Paul lost.

[Grath]

Huh, I guess Paul lost.

Assuming this is a Paul on the board of directors...
From what I've heard that's a good thing, he harassed and assaulted a friend of mine.

[Blossom]

Yeah, he's an absolute piece of shit, and he was completely dead set hill-to-die-on against any sort of anti-harassment policy.

[Mothra]

Wow, really? Hadn't heard about this till now.

I only just the other day realized that Mads Mikkelsen played Hannibal Lector in the 2013-5 series. Now I'm even more spooked by his casting in Death Stranding.

Man, it's gonna be a long couple of years.

And from those height stats, either someone is fibbing or Kojima's height is dependent on mood and atmospheric pressure.

[Brantly B.]

Maybe he's discreetly increasing it.

[Mongrel]

It could just be that one of them is on a step or something and there could be an optical illusion effect from Kojima being further forward but not as noticeably as it seems.

But it's still funny.

New CoH set:

Asheron's Call is scheduled to close at the end of the month, saddening a 74-year-old man who's played it since 1999.

[Brantly B.]

He will never dance again.

No MMO should have to outlive its child like that.

So for whatever reason Steam seems to think I'm interested in anime prison sex games. (I mean, I like anime prison sex as much as the next guy! But a boring grindfest jrpg that's by most reviews far more boring and grindy than the worst the genre has to offer, well shucks, ya lost me.), and recommended this hilarious jailbait-jailbait game. Uh okay?

Anyway, the truly funny part was that it had had a big WARNING SENSITIVE CONTENT screen followed by this:



"Illuminati" and "Memes" is pretty good too. XD

[patito]

the RPG tag wasn't enough of a warning for you? maybe the strategy one should have tipped you off

So apparently there's a new open-world Conan game coming out, where you roam around and smash things. It's presently in Alpha.

The bigger news that's come out is that the game is going to ship with your character not just having full genitalia, but fully animated and physics-rigged genitalia. The game's in alpha, but you can jump up and down and see your giant cock floobing around quite realistically. These devs have Priorities!

Also, apparently you can kidnap mobs, drag them back to your base/encampment/settlement/house/whatever and break them on the wheel to make them your slave. WELL OKAY.

Would it be premature to state that the devs of this game have a VERY SPECIFIC market in mind?

EDIT: I'm imagining that the Veen diagram between "Fans of new Conan game" and "Manowar fans" is going to overlap quite heavily.

[Blossom]

Let's hope the design itself isn't too Gorean although we all know it's going to attract, well

"All we do is shitpost and talk bad about everyone"

At least they self-identify as completely worthless

[Smiler]

Its really funny whenever I see people say Something Awful has turned SJW when it has multiple subforums based on being as vile as possible and had a subforum called "Negrotown" for a day because Lowtax had a meltdown.

I expect Conan Exiles to last about as long as every other "Open World Sandbox PVP MMO", which is usually a month into pre-alpha testing.

Edit: Didn't Rust implement floppy dongs years ago?
