9 note(s)
Been trying to change my sleep schedule around for a night shift so I'll be used to it and yet still keep up long enough to take care of house chores and keep an eye on the animals. It's not working out so well so far heck it's only 10 pm and I'm feeling at that state of sleepy where you start swearing you saw or heard things that weren't there. At least my coffee maker has been getting a damn good work out lately because of it.
I should not be this tired this early darnit. 
Another anti-romance thread in the MEA section, same old parade of contradictions ensues. "The romances don't contribute things, they just sap resources, we should have good romances only."
Naturally, "good" is defined as the romances any particular poster likes.
Yeah, what people consider "good" romances aren't the same for everyone.
I mean, there are people who hate Isabela and call her a one note character. In comparison, I've always felt that she has a really solid character arc throughout DA2 and one of the deepest and meaningful romances in the game. For someone who likes casual flings, it's very subtle that she's terrified when she realises that she's starting to fall for Hawke. As well as how she often has signs that she regrets not taking it further, should Hawke romance someone else after their one-night-stand.
Some people hate the Josie romance because they think she's boring and it's so light and fluffy. I've always found it to be extremely charming and Josie to a very fun character, even if she's uncomplicated. Besides, it's a tad hypocritical to say that it being a tad fluffy is dull, when aside from the addiction subplot, no-one seems to hates the similar light and fluffy flow of the Cullen romance?
I appreciate pretty much all the romances we've been allowed to pursue in the games, even if it's taken me longer to warm to some than others, such as Zev and Bull.
The only one I will admit to actively disliking is Jacob's in ME2 because the romance seen was rather corny... and let's not even get into how they handled him cheating on a romanced FemShep in ME3.
And the romance with Steve didn't work for me and made a little uncomfortable, not because it was same-sex (I was glad they finally included them in ME3), but because it felt like Shepard was taking advantage of someone who was still grieving. Especially when you remember that the Collectors only attacked Horizon because Shepard's former squadmate was there (information the Illusive Man leaked to them), which kind of makes Shepard somewhat indirectly responsible for the death of his husband.

Jigglypuff was my first love
I always loved how Jigglypuff was the most passive-aggressive character in the show (besides Misty) and it's grand revenge on people falling asleep when it sang was just to draw on them with permanent marker.
Reminds me of some parties I've been too where that's the punishment for anyone who happens to fall asleep too early... except when they put clothes/fruit/animals on your head.
Yeah, I know some weird people who enjoy pranks too much... (as do I) 
I had a brief glance at that romance thread, and assumed it was a semi-joke thread started by those who who seem to still be upset that the thread extolling the virtues of MP over SP got closed.Another anti-romance thread in the MEA section, same old parade of contradictions ensues.

But everyone knows its always either 'romances' or 'amazing game' and that adding romances just turns it into a porn game. I mean just look at that romance with Ruffles, scandalous! Or Garrus absolutely filthy! Just basically a porn simulator at that point.
Best to just stick them in porn or baby games because those are the only options for games that want any kind of romance or rather 'pixelated corruption of the sweet and innocent youth' in them.
I'll just leave the fainting couch here for any who need it

It's interesting that you should mention this because this aspect of the Maevaris character is one thing that I'm curious about for the possibility of a romance. I'd like her husband to be referenced, because she will always love him, but also show that she can find new love with someone else. Also, by DA4 it will have been some time, so it's not like she's still mourning a recent loss. I think it can be nice if done a certain way.

I wish people would understand that romance content is optional, and that any player can ignore any of it if they choose. Granted some is harder to avoid than others *cough*ME1 Liara*cough* but still... optional.
And then, claiming it's a waste of resources is just silly. If it's in the budget already then it will get made.
Stop ruining everything with your logic!
Apologies. Call it a momentary lapse of unreasonStop ruining everything with your logic!
Sigh... I'm pretty sure I took some troll bait when I wrote a lengthy response to a post in this thread. It's so hard to tell sometimes, because some new players really are ignorant about these aspects of the games. But the person's response really makes me think it was troll. Either that or they're just an idiot.

So really, they're an idiot or they're an idiot.

Random thing... I finally binge watched the previous season (5) of Game of Thrones. I can't believe I actually recognized him, and the voice, given that he wasn't even speaking English and mostly shouting, but Nicholas Boulton is in the final episode of the season as an area pit announcer. There are other DA voices throughout the series as well, with the largest and most recent role going to Indira Varma (Vivienne).
^ If this is book related, there are some changes that are bad, some good, and some I am really thankful for...
In addition, since they're going off-book this upcoming season, it seems like part of season five was written with that in mind so they can have a better flow with how they are going to be developing the story. However, since GRRM shared his general outline and ending with the creators, I'm thinking they will end up the same, but take somewhat different paths to get there. He also might have said that certain events (that we're not yet aware of) MUST happen with certain characters so they are shown developing in the way that he wants, and to be in accordance with his ultimate plan for their character development.

Any other fans of Better Call Saul here?
Raphael Sbarge (a.k.a. Carth Onasi & Kaidan Alenko) had a cameo in a recent episode as Saul/Jimmy's father.
Yeah, and I didn't recognize him, I'll have to watch the opening againAny other fans of Better Call Saul here?

Orly? I've only seen the first maybe 4 episodes of the new season. Gotta keep an eye out then.
I cannot think of a single change in s5 that is defensible in any capacity.
They've butchered Tyrion's storyline and left out the most important parts of it. Dorne was a catastrophe. Everything in the North came off as 3edgy5me Stannis hating fanfic.
I'm able to enjoy the show for what it is without comparing it too much to the books. The last time I got too upset over a book adaptation was with The Lost World (sequel to Jurassic Park) and that abomination of a movie. I liked that book a great deal and wasted way too much energy being bothered by the film's ridiculous changes. I've made an effort to have more mental separation since then and have thus been a happier watcher of such things.
My computer is still not back from repairs. It's been almost a month.
However, I had some really embarrassing crap on that computer over the years, just thinking about it now makes me want to die a little.
I should have just bought a new one in hindsight. Kinda dreading picking it back up now.

Well I can't do that for this series, especially since Martin used to be involved in writing episodes.
(and in the case of Lost World it was decided early on the book and movie would have nothing to do with each other)

I might have yelled at the telly during that scene, when instead of getting to enjoy more of the epic voice of Nicholas Boulton, we instead had to cut away to Dany's new "husband" (that nobody at all cares about) casually chatting to her (about stuff that we don't care about either)...

they ruined Hizdhar as well (in addition to having Dany force the man to marry her)
