    Default Anonymouswizard's Astoundingly Assonant Random Banter #240

    Welcome, one and all, to the latest incarnation of the random banter thread. Please wait onee moment while I shamelessly copy and past the work of the previous thread opener.

    Rules for Random Banter

    1. Spam. For RB, one-word posts are generally considered spam. Likewise, posts that are nothing but *actions like this* are also be considered spam. Remember that the quality of the post's content is much better than the speed of your response.

    2. This isn't the Play by Post or Town forum, nor is it the Silly Message Board Games or Structured Games forum. Please avoid continuous roleplay or mock battles and fights such as the "competition for control of the universe".

    3. If it's already a thread, don't bring it to RB. RB has such a huge range of subject matter even restricted to the little snippets that probably don't warrant their thread, it doesn't need legitimate thread topics cluttering it up as well. The exception to this is to bring something off-topic from one thread, but on-topic for RB and the subject doesn't warrant a thread of its own.

    4. Don't advertise other threads in RB. Just because these new threads move at speeds more appropriate to a message board than an IM session doesn't mean you need to come over to RB and browbeat people into posting in your latest brainchild.

    5. Please don't post single-line posts alerting us to your current status -- as in "I'm back." This is Random Banter, not "How to stalk Random GitP forum members."

    6. Don't poke, kick or bump the thread. It will move at whatever pace it wants to. Also, please refrain from Captain Obvious comments akin to "My, the thread is fast today."

    7. Random Banter can only be as good, or as entertaining, as you make it. Demands to be entertained will fall on deaf ears unless you can add something more meaningful to the conversation.

    8. As this is a public forum, where the current topic is nicely recorded for you, and not a conversation where you could have missed the beginning, please refrain from asking something to the effect of "What's the topic?". Please take the time to read up a bit first.

    9. Thread Creator must include the words "Random" and "Banter" as well as the thread #. Try to be concise as well.

    10. Every post should contain two visible, legible complete sentences, Subject and Predicate. C'mon, make your old English teachers proud.

    11. Remember, Random Banter is not your IM client. If you want to have a back and forth discussion with just one person, look in their contact information for IM details.

    12. Whenever a new thread is created, all "first post", "first-page", and all posts of that nature will be deleted by the administrators. Please avoid doing this, as it is frustrating for them to deal with one-lined posts like this.

    13. Double-posting is not your friend. We have edit buttons for a reason.

    14. Once you have made a Random Banter thread, you must wait for 12 threads before making another one.

    15. If you can avoid dibs calling on making the next thread, that will avoid people needing to wait if the thread hits 50 pages while the dibs-caller is asleep.

    It's Bioshock the answer is yes, full-chested and with pride.
    I just noticed that the Vita-Chamber independent version of the achievement is "A Man Chooses". So with the progression from "A Man Chooses" to "I Chose the Impossible", I think you're right....

    It's also directly lifted from Andrew Ryan's speech in the intro.

    That's an interesting name there. I'm sure it says nothing about his philosophical views.


    Meanwhile I had a hankering for Cyberpunk, so I've been playing the Shadowrun games, mostly Hong Kong. Certainly better cyberpunk than that game that came out two years ago, I just sometimes wish that character creation had an NB option.

    Still doesn't mean that I'm not going to be hitting up Dead Man's Switch with a lady PC. I'm planning to play a massive troll, while coincidentally making her a 2.5m horned wall of muscle.

    Bioshock's writing is many things. Subtle is not one of them.

    I will say that of the Cyberpunk games, Dead Man's Switch is the most basic, so should be done first... but all of them are quite good. Still need to play Hong Kong myself, but Dragonfall was one of the best games I've ever played.

    Also hey look at this; I've done a rough draft of my novel's world map! Take a look at it please!

    Me, my beloved roommate, and a friend of hers all saw Three Thousand Years of Longing together of Friday, I very much recommend it, a fine fantasy film, the closest I can think that’s been like it was Stardust, but 1940’s Thief of Bagdad and 1958’s 7th Voyage of Sinbad come closer.

    Yeah, I know. About as much subtlety as a scalpel gaffer taped to an ICBM in that game.

    I'm a bit lucky in that I played a bit of DMS before, so I know what to expect. But I'm telling myself that if I can get through this I can play Dragonfall again. I'd say that Hong Kong is better than Dragonfall, but it's a lot more reading and two team members are pretty bad at their job (Duncan doesn't have any cyber to give him bonuses, whereas Is0bel's deck is always subpar for that point in the game).

    Cool map! I think, I personally have little interest in them.

    2D8HP has two girlfriends!

    Glad your roommate is doing well, I hope she wore a dress.

    I'm always up for some pulpy fantasy, maybe I'll see if my girlfriend's interested.

    Thanks @Anonymouswizard!

    She did indeed wear a dress, both for the movie and for the Latin-themed rooftop lunch/dinner we had before.

    She’s using a cane now (so we got to use elevators instead of stairs), but she graduated from using a walker, so progress!

    I'm always up for some pulpy fantasy, maybe I'll see if my girlfriend's interested.

    Conan it wasn’t, more fair-tale/Arabian nights (with Ottoman history thrown in), I still recommend it!

    As far as a recent “date movie” for that I recommend seeing Licorice Pizza and Mrs. Harris Goes To Paris more 😊.

    Still a beautiful film though.

    I'm glad she's doing well. If she's going to be on a cane for a while you two should totally go cane shopping together and get her a cool one!

    I mean, by fairy tale do we more more cautionary tale or folklore? Because folklore stories are cool!

    And sure that depends on what my girlfriends are into? I mean for one of them I'm pretty sure I could gmconvince her to watch anything with detective, LGBT, or occult themes (as long as it's not a horror movie). None of us are really romance fans, when picking out a game for another member of the quad I thought it would be safe to go for something nice and girly, which meant it had to be Doom.

    Both (with a slight helping of science-fantasy ala the old Unknown magazine stories), but I’d say more towards the folklore end.

    Good point, all ladies and all gents don’t share the same tastes, my legal wife has no interest in seeing Mrs Harris, which my roommate loved and I loved.

    As subtle as lesbians censored as cousins without any of the kissing removed.

    I doubt ISObel is any worse at her job than Blitz.

    Totes cousins! I mean dating cousins is to me a bit icky, but there's many places where it's the norm and in the short term isn't that problematic for genetic diversity.

    Lesbian cousins!

    In terms of media with lesbians in it, I've started a new comic which features many of the wlw persuasion! Sadly though it's confirmed that Lucifer does not possess the power of clairlechage.

    I doubt ISObel is any worse at her job than Blitz.
    Blitz IIRC at least begins with a mid-tier deck and can either can be given a Farlight or has it in his upgrades.

    Is0bel is using a starter deck until like the penultimate mission.

    Sidenote: Dead Man's Switch locks stat boosting cyberware behind a relatively late mission. I'm nearing the endgame and I've only just got a cyberarm. (Alternatively it gives you a third AP way before the mid point.)

    Entirely fair! Glad you enjoyed looking at it briefly at least!
    Everybody should try something new occasionally. For me today it was looking at maps.

    I assume the intent is a river delta. Without a scale its a little harder to tell.
    “Evil is evil. Lesser, greater, middling, it's all the same. Proportions are negotiated, boundaries blurred. I'm not a pious hermit, I haven't done only good in my life. But if I'm to choose between one evil and another, then I prefer not to choose at all.”

    that is actually a network of rivers caused by a man-made water distributary system! Originally the river would just go long the merry path it had, but they set up a system that sends it all out into the plains!

    Also there are more rivers than just those, I just haven't put them on the map because I'm not 100% perfect at that sorta thing (gonna trust the artist who will do the proper map for that one).

    You should know by now, my friend, that as a treacherous colonial that when I say "pants" I mean what you refer to as "trousers."

    Which, of course, an an illusion perpetuated by the pantsinati to imprison our legs so that the discomfort distracts us from their allies, the flatians, evil plot to convince the world that the earth is a pancake.

    Ever since I've gotten a job that's not involved being in a food-related area, I have worn no "trousers." Skirts and dresses only. I have a pair or two of jeans in my closet for emergencies, I guess, but they've remained unworn since I tried them on in the store ages ago.
