Ignatius M. Meen posted:I think the man might have an objection to being chained to a bed and regularly drained of semen for starters. Also it's not like anyone would actually let him do that impregnate everyone thing you mentioned, being able to repopulate your country before anyone else would be a hell of a thing people would fight over. That was basically a Sliders episode: http://sliders.wikia.com/wiki/Love_Gods Iraq releases some virus that kills most of the men on the planet. The Professor points out to them that having 1 man breeding as much as they are (1 dickhead guy has been the breeder of the month for the last year) isn't a good thing for the DNA pool. Also Australia didn't get hit as hard, so the US and Australia are in a cold war.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_bottleneck A severe genetic bottleneck would occur, leading to every child of the following generation sharing a lot of the same genetic makeup, making our species even more at risk to extinction via diseases and plagues. Edit: Then there's also the inbreeding issue, but i'm not a geneticist. But in a world where over 99% of males or females have been lost, wars will be over sperm banks and fertility clinics/hospitals. SmockJoc fucked around with this message at 18:35 on Dec 19, 2016 |

it is posted:It wouldn't be hard to impregnate lots and lots of women in one go though. If you have the most fertile women sharing that day's harvest you can have a happy, healthy male repopulate earth with a minimum of slavery-like conditions. It's amazing how quickly these discussions go headlong into the trashcan. SmockJoc posted:https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_bottleneck Yeahhhh, you'd need a good five or six dozen women or something to restart the human race right? Or is it even more demanding and in the realm of like, thousands?

SO hey I really enjoyed the LP of this game. It's one of those games that I'd been meaning to play, but got pushed off to the wayside until I just didn't have time. So thanks for this, VOD.

The ending to The Baroque Cycle is also OK. REAMDE kind of has an ending but is garbage compared to his other work.

Just finished this game before dropping in on the LP and skimming through it, mostly to see what I missed. Decided for first playthrough to prioritize having every party member alive at once, but didn't get Ajeet because of a one-time use of drugs, didn't realize Geese was recruitable, and...to even get Buckets without losing everyone else you have to savescum, and I thought he only joined if you lost everyone the first time around, not if you willingly gambled everyone away until you won (tried doing that, but got horribly unlucky and everyone died before even getting close to the ten). Actually the first time I got there, I was fortunate enough to not have anyone die, so I thought you just always won it no matter what. I think that'd be better, it still works as an 'oh gently caress you can't be serious' kind of situation while still introducing the idea that next time it's going to be for real if you gamble them. As it is, yeah, that's not the best decision. Wonderful game for someone as squeamish as me, hahahah. Terribly uncomfortable and unnerving, but it's been a while since a game has instilled that kind of feeling in me. It's great. Haven't played Joyful, and kinda hesitant to do so after hearing general consensus that it isn't really that good.

I saw on slowbeef's Twitter that someone is workin on a Lisa fan game and they just put out the first chapter of it http://gamejolt.com/games/lisa-the-pointless/221705 No clue if it's good or not I haven't had a chance to download it

Joyful is a pretty great addition if you want to learn more about the side characters, Buddy especially. I personally enjoyed it a lot, and I like that it isn't really a necessary addition to the game. You don't really lose anything from not playing it.

The Joyful is a game that you can tell Jorgensen didn't want to make but did so anyway due to Kickstarter obligations. I say it's still worth playing because it's quite good. It's just more flawed and has less humor than the Painful.

Gyra_Solune posted:are you saying this because the game seems to be very much about garbage, or is it actually bad, and if so why From what slowbeef streamed last night it's just bad. Bad sound, bad writing, pretty meh combat. The art was not bad though. There are a few parts that would be good if the writing behind those parts wasn't awful. I'd say just watch slowbeef suffer through it.

He seems to enjoy fanart of, shall we say, earnest but technically unsound quality. I imagine he probably would have nice things to say about it regardless of its quality.
