Tyranny's premise is really cool, and I hope it's super cheap this Christmas.

to be more accurate the plot and the characters was extremely my poo poo, combat was boring as gently caress because you always fight the same loving group of dudes/evil magic farts/werewolves thru the entire game

Jose posted:pillars combat was absolutely poo poo lol oh no lets make combat boring as gently caress if you want to cast magic depends on what you're looking for combat to be, tbh if you want it to be an exercise in puzzle-solving, with different characters' different skillsets requiring different applications depending on the enemies' strengths and weaknesses, pillars is unquestionably the superior game if you want it to be a series of nerds exploding in increasingly silly ways as you acquire more toys, and the only question being precisely how you wizard the enemy to death, you will prefer tyranny tyranny's combat system was fun. tyranny's combat was loving awful. pillars' combat system was meh, but its combat was excellent.

jBrereton posted:The puzzle of apply as many debuffs as possible and hit them with a sword, yes very good. which debuffs, where, to counter what, putting who up front and who in back, etc etc compare to tyranny, where the strategy is pretty much without exception "buff your weapons, giggle"

Ze Pollack posted:which debuffs, where, to counter what, putting who up front and who in back, etc etc make other heroes cast freezing mist / daze spells / whatever else while very loud singer companion buffs the party and makes skeletons. This strategy works for at least 20-30 hours of hard mode which is when I quit because the writing isn't good and the combat is formulaic.

Tyranny owned, and rolling your own spells was a neat touch. But it had a degenerate solution. Had my whole party set up to do cones of magic or something attack, and buffs with a small aoe So before combat starts, they huddle in a little ball and buff each other Then they run out, form a line, and do there cone attacks in front of them I called it the 'power rangers' set up.

Cross-posting from the Philippines thread in D&D Back in April 2016, Alibaba bought a controlling share in Lazada, an e-retailer like itself, except operating in Southeast Asia. In Jun 2017, Alibaba sunk another 1 billion USD into Lazada. https://twitter.com/jcmaningat/status/925198290823479296 quote:Contractor nets P174,000 for a three-week production of 100 bags, while worker earns only P7,205.

basically, yeah the only other thing I remembered about that game is 'water lady = best waifu' divinity 2 is also fun, but the stuns + CC is a little too...extreme. As soon as you lose your armor, you can get stunned, and every stun attempt will 100% work, and there are a ton of attacks that can stun. the end result is: your hp doesn't matter, all that matters is armor, because as soon as that's gone, you get stun locked, loss all your turns, and then die

Of course, I am very much aware that Whites aren't in control of their own nations but (((others))) are. I think, however, Chinese have a much less "passive" view of the world. We are unapologetically imperialist, and we will be ruthless against Africans and Muslims if Whites agree. We just need to agree on our world domination, otherwise we can't do anything either. I see nothing wrong with Chinese colonialism in Africa, though I find Chinese colonialism towards fellow East Asian peoples unnecessary trouble. After all, we need raw materials from Africa for our civilisation and Africans are too unadvanced to make proper use of it. I see nothing wrong with supremacy itself. It just depends on what you do with it. If you make a better world, then I'm totally in favour of White supremacy. If you make it like the place it is now ruled by (((them))), then I can't support it. My Chinese view of supremacy is that it can never be absolutely evil and it's a Jewish-Christian mind-set to think in dualities: absolute evil or absolute good. As a Chinese polytheist traditionalist, I think in no absolute dualities. I just think supremacy is good for something. Everything has advantages and disadvantages. Supremacy is normal. Chinese philosophers would agree. Whites let themselves be philosophically pushed into a corner so they would accept they deserve no racial power. However, Chinese do not believe that. We believe in power, we believe in supremacy. We are not necessarily malevolent, but we are not necessarily benevolent either. It just depends on the relationship we have. Africans have a bad relationship with us. We don't see them as useful, at least from a traditionalist point of view, and so we will likely be very mean to them in the long term. At least I hope so. My point is just that Whites have adapted too much to the (((liberal ideology))). I see no reason to say "I disavow White supremacy". I believe Whites should have power, autonomy (live by their own code) and sovereignty (independent rule). I believe in White power. Asians just say how they wish the world to be. They want to see Whites as powerful. That way they have someone to look up to. Asians respect powerful people. They do not respect people who are poor, weak and sick. Just let Asians see you as superior, that way you will have their full support.

I keep myself safe by being outside China while making these statements. China has the most sophisticated media and internet censorship in the world. Dissidents disappear all the time. Organ harvesting in China is a real thing. That is how they make money by killing dissidents. It's dissident persecution turned into an industry. You can't make this stuff up. Since I used to be a Party member, I couldn't believe it either until I learned more what is going on in China's top secret prisons and hospitals (where the organ harvesting happens). Just make sure the liberals don't become like the Chinese Communists one day and start harvesting organs of pro-White race realists. theres thousands of posts. they wrote a alt history where hitler teams up with china https://disqus.com/by/chinesenationalistmaiden/ SMILLENNIALSMILLEN has issued a correction as of 13:42 on Nov 1, 2017 |

but you've got to compare relative population though. for medieval europe, 400k is a lot, and it's still a lot today. and the thirty years war is still up there, as far as destructive conflicts in europe (8 million dead)
