@fastfinge I have read some Asian-based fantasy, and the game plot sounds nothing like what I've read. That being said, I've only started intentionally branching out from European-based fantasy over the past few years, and I've tried to diversify my reading experience, so maybe the game is based off of something I have not read.
@lynessence It could also be that because you’re reading intentionally, you’re only getting the “good” Asian fantasy. If someone asked me to recommend western fantasy, I’d probably give them wheel of time, not xanth or a Minecraft novel.
@fastfinge@atherjammoa He certainly did, Bosoms and all. lol I also think he had a thing for redheads. Thank goodness Brandon Sanderson didn't carry on the RJ'ISM of describing every woman’s boobs.
@lynessence@atherjammoa But how will I know she’s a woman if I don’t know everything about her boobs? Otherwise she’s just another man! This complaint applies to far too many female characters written by male authors.
@lynessence@atherjammoa Uh, sorry. I know your eyes are...well, I was going to say up there...but you're shorter than me haha. So down there, I guess. grin
@fastfinge Haha. The story section reminds me of a BK3 review I read once, which called the story "compelling". And I was like, even with the translation pack, the story just seems like random words and names vomited out and shuffled until they resembled sentences.
@blindndangerous I'm not sure I know what sort of thing is likely to get great reviews on there. Probably a web-based game I have to download and unzip, open index.html, and then decide whether to play as a character with 17 vaginas or no sex organs at all. Unless I subscribe to a Patreon and then I get to have a canoe as a penis or something. @fastfinge
@jscholes@blindndangerous Nah, they like incomprehensible space muds that you can only play with a sound pack and that are based on stolen codebases. I find they actually have pretty good taste in choose your own adventure pornography, oddly enough.
@fastfinge@jscholes Are we still talking about the same place or do I just dig deep enough into the topics themselves. I scroll through general and new releases and if the topic isn't interesting, I skip.
@blindndangerous I sometimes dip into the new releases room, find that threads started in 2015 have bubbled up to the top because someone is complaining about an old release or demonstrating poor judgement about when to make a new topic, and then close the tab. @fastfinge
@jscholes@blindndangerous But without audiogames, where can I post space bang? It's my new release written in BGT that goes "bang!" whenever you press the spacebar! How many times can you press the spacebar? Soon there will be a scoreboard and an online account system that costs $18 and goes down three times a week! Just click this dropbox link!
@jscholes@fastfinge I wish the admin would come back and set up something like reddit where if a topic doesn't receive replies for x amount of time the topic is locked.
@blindndangerous@jscholes I wish the admin would just come back, period. Eleven cloudflare challenges per visit seems to be an easier solution than actually updating the forum software.
@fastfinge@jscholes I don't mind the cloudflare challenge though I only see it once on going to the homepage of the forum and usually only if I'm behind my vpn.
@blindndangerous@jscholes Sounds like you've never played Flexible Survival. Or Lessons in Love. Or Endless Summer. Or inheritance. Or corruption of champions. Those are just the ones off the top of my head that have at least some mechanic that could be described like that LOL.
@fastfinge@jscholes I think I found the github once and read some of the things that can happen somehow. I think it was through a random google search. I got the jist of it.
@fastfinge@blindndangerous@jscholes Surprise! I haven't played one of these and I@m still alive! Fine, sex in rl, but that's cringe in games or on TV. Ewww.
@blindndangerous@jscholes I wouldn't call it "bad". Ranger Legend I might, but this one isn't nearly as buggy, doesn't crash, the interface and translation are better, and it overall feels a bit more polished. I've noticed AG is highly xenophobic; I wouldn't trust most of what they say about anything. Warshovel is a better game when it comes to progression, story, and mechanics. But Call of Fate sounds nicer. So take your pick, I guess.
@fastfinge Okay so, in Chinese and I think Japanese culture, the best rank is S, I should tell you to read some chinese fantasy stuff, read A thousand Li by Tao Wang. I hope I can write names. If not, just write a thousand li and read it. You'll get sense of the Chinese stuff. :)
