I can assure you of one thing: the people who call Cyberpunk 2077 perfect and refuse to acknowledge its failings are the very same people who have no place in the society that cyberpunk warns against.

So the people you view as ontologically evil have no place in the hellish dystopia you also claim is critiquing them? This guy is a writer, technically.

I've been running a Dolmenwood campaign and leaning way into "the Church is Catholic and objectively correct" and damn, it feels good. Not having to track eleventy-fuck minor deities is a huge load off. And I haven't had to build so much rapport with NPCs to sell the party on quests. Just have an inquisitor show up and tell them demons are on the move and they trust him.

Some say, when we need him most, the chainsaw will be pulled from the stone and the slayer will return.

Even if the billionaire class disappeared over night, I don't think people in general have the discipline to stay the fuck home. My home town has doubled in population twice in the last 20 years. That's not natural, and absolutely cannot be adapted to. You aren't meant to pick up roots and wander hither and yon. Cheap travel has been eroding the concept of community for a century. The dotcom bubble was not a point of light.

Easy travel and communication has been a disaster for civilization. We are meant to be in limited communities with finite populations. Part of maturing is men and women realizing that if they don't want to die alone, they will have to compromise at some point. Wasting your 20s moving to the big city and trying to carve out a livelihood and build a community from scratch is nightmarish.

"Foreigner" in that verse is better translated "traveler" and does not mean immigrant. The traveler described eventually leaves.

Being treated as a native would also mean being subject to civic and religious law. The foreigner who blasphemes can look forward to being stoned to death, just as a native son.

Fun fact: the Lutheran confession includes the declaration that "imager" status was granted to Adam and lost due to original sin. It's regained when you accept Christ. Non-belivers don't carry the image of God.

If churches enforced their own doctrines, we'd have a lot fewer problems, which was OPs point.

uglified middle-aged Ciri

There might have been legs on the idea of her fighting monsters using anything but strength. Like Portal crossed with Shadow of the Collosus, where every monster requires an elaborate plan. A whole boss could just be a pack of drowners. Up the lethality and scale down the world.

We're talking deportation. I have no problem giving those people less than a fair shake.

A movie might be tough. You'd have to find a whole cast and crew that would be willing to work with Mel Gibson, finance the thing, etc. Would you settle for a documentary?

It was probably a false flag to get silencers banned. However, dude had it coming anyway.

In other words, it didn't happen but they deserved it.

I lump Grr and Patrick Rothfuss together under the 'rich, lazy fucks' category.

Apparently, Rothfuss mentioned at a con a few years back that the current trilogy was supposed to be a prequel to the true story. He realized he would never write those other books, so he's been trying to cram the gist of that story into the last book.

I don't understand why these guys aren't under contract to shit something out every five years or so. It's pathetic.

You're going to make me reinstall. I generally don't replay games, but I never did play Awakening.

"Swooping would be bad." I don't even remember the context, just the delivery.
