TET: Pusheen The Envelope

[Gim]

I know this is TET and we don't usually do political shit here, but a Minnesota politician has said on Twitter that ISIS are a bunch of guys "doing what they think is best for their community".

It's not surprising, given the fact Trump is getting 42% approval rating.

[The Grim Reaper]

Man, that makes me want to get back into MMO gaming.

And by 'back into', I mean 'into'.

I've started playing a little of something else with an NS GPer, but that's just the two of us. Not quite EVE's crazy fleet-on-fleet voice chat shenanigans.

I have to say that working in teams of two players is quite pleasant. Especially since EVE changed a tad since the last time I played. But those who engage in fleet battles and assaults can go psychotic when things don't go according to plan. It's hilarious to watch the videos of the meltdowns.

Yeah, goddamn these videos are hilarious. I played a bit of a game called Planetside 2, which was an MMO (albeit with much, much quicker progression relative to cap), and some of the videos on that are rather cool. Again, not quite EVE's fleet combat.

But yes, a power duo can be rather fun. The GPer plays a /lot/ more than I do - they have two characters, one that they grind regularly, and one that I do quests with on a different server - so I'm not quite as competent as they are. Plus they're playing a somewhat better class for early game. But it's good company and silly fun - except when I spend twenty minutes having them escort me to an NPC, losing them, and ending up where I started after I die >.>

But I don't eat people.

In real life or in RPG campaigns?

That's a secret.

But I don't eat people


I never have the patience for MMOs. >.<

Since he's helping me build my skills set, we have been doing only low level battles and incursions. As soon as I get my battle cruiser ready, I will be able to get into more involved things. But I only battle alongside him because he has quite the ship and the shield capacity to withstand quite a lot of damage. Not to mention that he can fight long range so... I orbit, and get ISK. A lot of it.

I tried ESO and PlanetSide 2. Both bored me

I mean, he's right. They're doing what they think is best.

Yes, but he said they weren't necessarily evil either. Apologies for the Daily Fail source.

RPG campaigns of course.

In real life, consent is needed.

I hate feeling sick.

So do I. My sicknesses always gradually progress.

You are sure that is not actually a quote from some stand-up comedian's show?

[Asmikland]

On the topic of MMO's... Anyone else here used to play runescape?

Yes, me and my friends were major players back in the days. So many hours wasted on that damn game.

Haha I wasted so much time on it too, although i was 7 at the time, so it wasn't like i had much better to do

Yeah, much like Gallo, he plays way more and far longer than I do. Interestingly, most of the players I've encountered are female. Including his character and mine.

I am doing the 30 day trial, see if I like it before committing to buying the subscription.

Well, he did admit he made the mistake, although his political career is questionable, at this point.

Planetside 2 bored you?
It has a massive map with a lot of vehicles and weapons and stuff!

To each their own. Gallo likes MMOs. He played Everquest for quite some time.

I will just stick with Skyrim.

I think, from memory, statistics say that male - female characters on a couple of larger MMOs (not players) are about 50%. A lot of those are because men like to try female side characters, for gear or story reasons. I had a female character on an MMO, back in the day, for RP.

But the player ratio is definitely getting closer, too.

Oh. Then you probably wouldn't have as much fun with it.

MMORPG game. One of the best I have ever played.

well, at least amongst the people i know who actually play MMO's, it's regarded as "Everyone's First MMO"

You do that.

I need to continue playing that, BTW. But now I don't know if I want to do the PS3 game or dabble into the PC version we have so that I can continue making monstrous mods. ^_^

I think it's my first and last. I'm not usually interested in MMOs.

Gallo says that due to how odd EVE characters can look, many male players prefer to look at themselves in female form (because damn, the female character designs look awesome) than use male characters.
