All This Shit is Weird:

The Dalek_Thal Story

Fuck, I definitely drank too much, how the fuck did it cycle back to 2008?

Seriously mate, you didn’t warn about the TVTropes link? Some of us need to go to bed!

Hey mate, I’m doing a quick response rn and will return at some point to properly write up a lengthier response!

The claw can happen in Frontier if you’re running the default controls - I’ve been playing in Portable mode though, which uses the Tri Classic Controller scheme, although my experience was it’s a pain in the backside to figure out how to change the controls if you’re not used to Freedom Unite’s menus (Frontier was based on Dos)

As for the variety, Frontier boasts something like 188 unique monsters including subspecies, rare species and other variants. Each of these has their weapons (to no one’s surprise). In addition there are two unique weapon classes that haven’t appeared in any other games - the Tonfas which are basically very short dual blades that punch and give air time, unique buffs and a powered-up explosive attack, (think a proto-Insect Glaive), and the Magnet Spike which is the most unbalanced thing I have ever had the pleasure of using in a video game - it simply melts most G Rank monsters. Further, the game has an extra layer of difficulty above G Rank called “Zenith” which includes fifteen unique variants of existing monsters, which has similarities with Deviants from GU. If Frontier does appeal to you, I recommend you track down PewPewDojo’s discord, they can get you set up with a private server.

Can relate to your comments about GU, it’s a massive game and honestly even after playing it for nearly four hundred hours over the span of the last five years I’m still discovering new stuff.

I’ve always been intrigued by Wild Hearts tbh, never had the chance though (it came out during my thesis and just kinda slipped by). I really do need to try it though.

Hello fellow Monster Hunter! Similar experience, but it gets worse as someone who really likes Monster Hunter Frontier - because not even die-hard classic MH players will touch it, because of the perception that it’s “too anime”. It’s sad, because honestly it’s a great time, no other game in the series has Frontier’s level of variety.

Can’t concentrate at work, and so stressed that food doesn’t seem friendly.

But maybe things will work out this evening. Either that, or it’ll get much worse. Definitely feeling at a crossroads.

Yeah, blinked the other day. Now this bloke keeps following me and telling me I’m in Hull.

I second this. My life massively improved when I started to set out to leave the world a better place than I found it in - on average, people feel happier when around a friendly person

Hey mate, both PC and PS5 have couch-coop (I own it on both). For the former, you need to plug in two controllers, and it'll just kinda work, and the latter has it in the "session settings".

But you found them didn't you?

Yes, it was on display in the bottom of a locked filing cabinet stuck in a disused lavatory with a sign on the door saying "Beware of the Leopard"

This is for a friend, right?

They did the monster math

Well, they certainly did the math

Not free, but I swear by Scrivener as a word processor - I've been using it for both my novel and Uni essays for years and it is just a total lifesaver, as it makes document management so much easier. Strongly recommend

Proactive screaming is best screaming. Bonus points if it sounds like someone who isn't you is being brutally murdered

Much as I'd like to agree with you, you're clearly talking out of your arse.

Teachers are hamstrung by administration nowadays. If we could treat kids differently, we would. Alas, terrible admin+awful parents means differentiation isn't even remotely possible.

Got a source on the child labour thing? Not doubting you, but as a non-American I’m confused as to how the hell youse aren’t in open revolt.

EDIT: Responding individually later. In short, fuck. In long, thanks all for sending me those links, I’m gonna go wash my eyes out with bleach and attempt to un-know all that I now know

AAAAAAARGH!
