European guy, weird by default.

You dislike what I say, great. Makes the world a more interesting of a place. But try to disagree with me beyond a downvote. Argue your point. Let’s see if we can reach a consensus between our positions.

  • That was too easy of a joke to resist. Never played the game.

    The games I spent more hours with were Neverwinter Nights, Fallout 1&2 and Silent Storm.

    It’s nice to follow the story. It’s nice to pull a few shenannigans just to see may happen. But I like to follow a story. If someone took the time to write, the least respect I can pay to it is follow it.

    I remember playing Kult: Heretic Kingdoms and the story was very nice to follow.



  • Unless the developers were lazy or sloppy, you never break the story-line.

    I couldn’t care less about other players. Either they’re just like me, trying to take a moment to relax or they are someone that takes what should be fun as a serious endeavour. I have a life for that.

    And the town guards… come on. They are just doing their assigned job. And probably took an arrow to the knee.


  • That murder-hobo part. I never really understood the expression.

    Yes, I would willingly deviate from the main story line the moment I could but I wouldn’t go on a murder rampage, killing everything and anything in site.

    On Silent Storm I would go on a random encounter spree, killing enemies as supppsed, but I never targeted NPCs. And in Fallout I’d roam the map for random encounters as well but, again, hostiles were fair game, NPCs weren’t.

    And to my understanding, the murder-hobo thing was coined because some players would destroy and kill anything in their path.




  • Want to get petty? My country still holds a grudge because we married a princess of ours with our neighbouring country king, while they sent one theirs to marry with our king (so, for all practical purpouses, a hostage exchange).

    The only problem with it, was that our princess was gourgeous, while the princess sent here was ugly as stormy night.

    To this day, we still have a coloquial expression of despize where we literally say we gave sardine in return of hake.

    My country has sardine as a high value fish, since ever.



  • Things like these are getting ridiculous and the most unreasonable of it all is that most people do not consider this as predatory and invasive behaviour from manufacturers.

    I like my appliances dumb. Don’t try to sell me a smart TV, a smart fridge or a smart anything. It does not need to connect to the internet. It needs to do one specific task and one only. I don’t need my fridge to order groceries.
