2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

(Idea taken from a similar post I saw in Reddit a longer time ago)

I would probably get a knife in my ribs before I notice anything and be left to lie in the street πŸ˜…

I have a bad time as I can't speak Japanese and am pretty sure subtitles don't come with me.

Mechwarrior 5? Depending on where I end up, I could be fine or screwed...

Got a nice job with autonomy, quite a bit of credits and a sweet spaceship. If only we could have cats in Starfield

Armored Core 6, yeah it's probably not going to end well for me.

[–] ArmokGoB 3 points 2 years ago

I get to be a Destiny NPC. Honestly, not the worst fate.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I abandon my plans of defeating Ruby Weapon and just get in the Highwind and go to the Golden Saucer.

Last game I played was World of Tanks, so...

Society as we know it ended in 1919, after the calamitous fall of every world government. There is no order or law save the will of the Tank Clans, roaming columns of tanks from every nation on the constant prowl for ammunition, fuel and supplies to keep their rampage sustained for even a moment longer.

To be a tanker in this time is to embrace chaos and anarchy. Tank clans commit to bloody battles, fighting to the last man over scarce resources. The victors cannibalize the smouldering wrecks of the fallen for whatever scrap remains. Technological advances come at the cost of hundreds fallen, all in the name of making deadlier war machines. This the world I now inhabit, a world of steel and chaos, of armor and war. This is...

The World of Tanks.

I feel I need to turn a crank. It feels tedious at first, but it gives me some power to make scrap metal.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

That was a fun game, in the way of making many different materials!

That really depends.

Crash land near/in the main colony? Eh. I'd be thrown into prison to be beaten or put into Boris' chair until I was compliant, but after, there's a chance at a decent life with only some risk of death. At worst, they might decide I'm worth tossing in a Warcasket and joining the Dead watching the walls.

Outside of them? Ehh. Might be able to throw in with a tribe and keep my head down until we're all slaughtered in a raid. Some of the Empires seem somewhat friendly, could try to offer services cleaning and hauling for a bed in a servant barracks. Completely fucked if I'm caught out by Raiders, Pirates, Insectoids, or Mechanoids.

I'm playing Fea Farm so, farm, fish and hang out with my friends all day. Plus I have cute little fairy wings in that game. I'm set for life.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

OP what game are you describing? I played Middle Earth Shadow of War, so I'd be perched up on a building watching two uruks throttle each other

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

A text-based Online, browser crime game called TORN.

I was thinking about reinstalling that game but haven't yet done so. I have bad memories of dem uruk chiefs getting op rather quick (yeah I know you gotta kill them with the weaknesses before they learn all your moves πŸ˜‚)

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Wow, Torn looks pretty cool, I didn't know there were still games like this

Shadow of War is not actually that bad, I'm on post game and the uruks are like level 65 and I still run into ones that are mortally vulnerable to stealth, or just plain soft headed or dazed when you pin their feet, and all that. Unless you were playing on a higher difficulty, I'm just on normal.

They get a lot more immunities and stuff but all you gotta do is poke them in the one place they're vulnerable and you're still the man. Only the ones with the adaptable trait really learn from their weaknesses before you can kill or brand them, so it's not too bad.

Shit Keanu Reaves is in my head making snarky comments about my choices. Could be cool.

Making a deal with a Daedric Prince.

BroForce. I'd flex all over those fools from Terroristan

Drown in rain. I'm too big for the shelters.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I open an Inn and get to play Gwent against Gerelt of Rivia!

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

I'd either be an immortal capsuleer in charge of a space ship. Or I'd be some peasant on a planet that are so unimportant that they don't even get mentioned in the lore.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

I'd be kicking some mf'ing shell, that's for sure!

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

uhhh, I'm not really sure what would happen in Muse Dash. if it was a Log Horizon situation where i assume the role the character i probably can't hit anything to the beat lol

If by β€œgame world” you allow TRRPG’s then it’d be Golarion (Pathfinder 2e) and last nights game was β€œCase File #4” where a creepy leather bound book (the β€˜Dark Archive’) keeps appearing and transporting us to various other places to fight undead.

#4 was an abandoned mansion overrun with undead that we needed to clean out. Fuck almighty almost every room was a combat session!

So to be teleported there I’d just run away. Even if I could find a suitable weapon I’d not survive more than one encounter. Not worth throwing away my actual life for some stupid book!
