I’ve gotten it to work once or twice, it’s very broken though. they clearly ment for it to be a heavily scripted set of events like you’d see in a vault not too different from the vault you get Curie from, but it’s totally convoluted and no one explains what’s happening and the directions the game gives you are vague and unhelpful, but you basically have to go into specific buildings at specific times and hide in specific places in the right order to trigger all the events and then it sort of makes sense, but if you go from step A to step K the game just skips you to that point in the scripted events without telling you it skipped crucial story info and you’ll have no idea your need to go clear out a cave system near the town. so it’s not broken if you happen to accidently trigger all the events in the right order, but you need a detailed guide to do that. your usually just going to mess to the order then need to do stuff without being told you need to do it.

I still play it once in a few years for nostalgia, and it’s a fun trip down memory lane, but anything beyond fan patches don’t really interest me.

I played it on release, absolutely insane game, the graphical details, the open world was HUGE! and the amount of things you could do. I used to just go live in Vivic. hang out at book stores. follow npc’s around watch their routine. crazy. Anyway. yeah, the combat was allowed broken, the original shipped game didn’t even have a hud with your heath bar. nearly every spell in the game could one shot you, and you just had to guess if you were hitting stuff with melee weapons, no real feedback to figure it out. and nothing hit a target unless you actual got the level up to like 80-100 in it’s weapon class skill. so. yeah. and levitation and other crazy jumping and flying stat boosts were janky as fuck, and the best pro tip for the game on how to get through most caves or dungeons was to just turn off clipping, levitate, and walk through the void to get to whatever was needed for the quest. and a lot of the game was pretty much empty rooms with a jar or box with nothing in it. and there’s almost no voice acting, it’s a lot of reading, and the game is like ‘go to Abrrivabrigarvigggara in SW Corvigabaaagrivaagaa’ and you’re like… directions? and the npc’s would give you the wrong directions to get there. the mage quest was basically locked behind randomly finding a cave with a mage who didn’t want to pay dues and no way to find it in game but luck. technically the game came with a physical map they actually expected you to use, but luckily unless you had an overclocked computer that wasn’t commercially sold until a few years after the game came out, the map was never going to load for you anyway. I didn’t see a loaded map until like 5 plus years after the game came out.

so yeah I love the game with all my heart, but I don’t recommend anyone under the age of 35 try it. your just going to be sad about how badly the game parts of the game are. well what we still consider game parts. now a days no one is impressed a game could have an actual library with 100s of actual books you can pick up and actually read and they are all unique and at least 10 pages long.

there was a Christian prayer club that had really obnoxious meetings and pray sessions at my high school. There’s a lot of leeway from clubs in schools.

labor camp is the most desired prison assignment in the US. he’s getting the version guys spend years doing good behavior and extra service to qualify for in the US. I’m not saying it’s good, great, or moral, but at least its not US prison because we run the worst prisons in the world.

It’s all Warewolf Jones style pranks where it’s just a horrible drug fueled crime that will get you time in county jail even if they can’t convict.

well there’s one upside to the low number of seats.

That meets my expectations, sadly.

teal really proved living well is the best revenge.

at this point they don’t have the numbers for anything.

picking a shotgun for an assassination is about as effective as bringing a super soaker. what a joke.

It’s a big word, he just doesn’t understand. they need to explain it means he likes to have sex with 13 yr old girls who are in the early stage of puberty. like the one he raped already. I’m sure if they tell him what the word means, he’ll be all “oh yeah, I do that.”

I think as long as you’re constantly rewritting you’re moving in the right direction.

he said he wouldn’t teach or accept Samaritan disciples because that would be like feeding the dogs before feeding the children. He wasn’t being nice.

I spent decades taking it seriously. The occasional bit with ‘‘yeah don’t be an asshole’’ isn’t worth anything next to the pro slavery, pro genocide, hateful parts. Even Jesus called Samaritans dogs compared to so called pure blooded Jews, none of this is morally OK when you hold it accountable to itself as a text.

Daddy pig isn’t a doctor! That’s Dr. Brown Bear’s job!

It’s a lot less poetic when you had to live through it.

They have to pay them enough to look down on average people.

And I’m proud to be an American where at least I know I’m free…

To be fair, Marijuana is an actual name, it’s not what weed was always called, and it was often used as the preferred name by the US government because they wanted to characterize it as a Mexican racial trait.
