Not actually our job! I mean, if you happen to open a bag and find someone's weed, then yeah, you're obligated to call the police, but we don't screen for drugs and such on account of the fact that drugs aren't likely to make a plane crash. The police has trained dogs for that job though so I still wouldn't recommend it.

Last fifteen minutes of work and I slip while tightening a bolt and fuck myself with a wrench right in the temple. Didn't bleed much after the first minute, but looking a mirror while cleaning up I looked like I just bladed in a WWE match. Changing the bandage just now I look like the victim of the worlds most incompetent vampire.

Headwounds always bleed a lot more than you'd think. Boxers can end up looking like fucking zombies out of what amounts to a papercut over the eyebrow.

Just popping in to say the new dragon age name is the stupidest shit I've ever seen.

(Not posted in the Videogames thread because it is not at all constructive)

[Mattias]

Since when did we have to be constructive in the Videogames thread?


Thanks for letting me know that they dropped the name though. I wouldn't say it's bad, it's suitably edge enough for Dragon Age, but it also feels both too vague and too on the nose at the same time. It's very odd.

Maybe I'd be more enthused if I didn't consider Solas the singular worst thing to happen to this series, idk.

Also it just reminds me how shallow the writing and worldbuilding have become: in-universe so many varied tensions are coming to a boiling point (political and social, economic what with the blight and all, destructive phenomena with the Veil going wild and also about to be sundered), set in arguably the cradle of the continent's human civilization and definitely the biggest and most complex urban hub, but it's all about this one guy? It's a shame cause the setting seemed so much more vibrant and big before Inquisition. Whether the writing and worldbuilding were ever capital G Good is up to debate ofc but they definitely used to be better.

I haven't played much of Inquistion (barely out of the prologue IIRC), but you'd put him above the one year development cycle on DA2? Because that's a real high bar to surpass.

[Sesto]

what's wrong with solas, he was probably my favourite companion in inquisition (not a hard title to achieve given inquisition companions sucked)

that said i didn't play the dlc

I count amongs the DA2 appreciators so, yeah.

Also what's wrong with solas is that he's swagless and cringefail but not in a lovable way.

[Mattias]

Oh! So he's Kai Leng from Mass Effect!

[Deathhappens]

But Kai Leng was swagless and cringefail in a GOOD way.

In that he was a stupid villain that you got a lot of katharsis out of punching right in his stupid face.

[Mattias]

The only real enjoyment I got out of Kai Leng is his bragging. No Leng, you didn't beat me, the guys in the gunship you called in cause I was kicking your ass too hard beat me. Jerry McXenophobe is the true rival of Sheppard, not some guy who couldn't beat someone with late stage TB in a fist fight.

For once in my life, I thought I'd try cooking a curry instead of the age old tradition of microwaving one.

I was not prepared to almost die. It wasn't even spicy, it was the sheer heat from over-boiling the sauce and then trying to eat it totally burnt my gizzard.

[Sesto]

my cat's new trick is to be speedrunning how fast he can jump from the ground -> my chair -> desk pls help

[Mattias]

Put a cucumber on the chair?

[Nikiri]

a proper diet and training regime could improve the times

[WhiteFrenzy]

I finally had enough money to eat meat again after almost 3 months of only rice, eggs and some vegetable when I'm not too defeated to go to the greengrocery.

I even felt like a person again.

[Petrikow]

Thank god for eggs, at least.
