  6. that's not a wand it's just a little sapling he found that he's going to plant in the heat of battle for the good of the environment
  7. bad voice acting = not sounding natural, or not sounding the way they're trying to sound i doubt anyone's so afraid of sounding dumb or inarticulate or whatever that they'd simply make things up to disguise their peeve with voice acting in a video game (outside the usual minority that need to be acknowledged as internet mensans by complete strangers they will never meet) in the case of the ffxiv english voice acting, this is actually pretty noticeable if you listen to the accents on some of the characters (minfilia and cid spring to mind). to me, they sound fake as hell. i had this gripe with some of the sylvari voice acting in GW2 as well - it sounds like americans trying to sound like brits. the line delivery/overall tone of voice also feels significantly off, too - which is to say it doesn't follow how people actually talk. Mod Note - Edited and Merged back into thread at user's request.
  8. i prefer the original FYH8DsU2WCk also GVV06jTYjeY im always like a month late for these new music vids
  9. there was an entire huge thread about this and you missed it
  10. whenever i larp i shout INVISIBILITY to cast an invisibility spell but everyone still looks at me like im not invisible! and then they tell me to leave!
  11. i wouldn't be too worried about trying to keep up with the para rpers anyway, just get across what your character is doing clearly and succinctly typing up long flowery paragraphs works just fine for creative writing classes and forum rp but it actually gets pretty obnoxious when you've got this one hack in a public spot (like the quicksand) taking multiple chatboxes to type up some long, overblown exposition on how they're holding a drink or how their eyes are majestic twinkling orbs or some other shit unless you're in an arranged event with people you already know, being needlessly verbose can be an inconvenience to anyone reading your posts - should strangers feel obligated to wait around for and then wade through the clumsy wording of your essay on smirking? being descriptive is not always a good thing, especially if it sacrifices clarity in the name of pretentious purple prose i started reading Isaac Asimov's Nemesis the other day, and found this little bit in the author's note: I made up my mind long ago to follow one cardinal rule in all my writing—to be 'clear'. I have given up all thought of writing poetically or symbolically or experimentally, or in any of the other modes that might (if I were good enough) get me a Pulitzer prize. I would write merely clearly and in this way establish a warm relationship between myself and my readers, and the professional critics—Well, they can do whatever they wish. adapt your style to the situation, do not feel pressured to "perform" - especially for strangers - and do not hold other roleplayers up on a mental pedestal based on how much text they can churn out quantity is not quality 8-)
  12. Zeitgeist and The Great Global Warming Swindle, two documentaries that are basically a warning to not trust everyone with a degree both of them are irrelevant nutjobs backing up other irrelevant nutjobs, the former relying on tinfoil conspiracy shit mixed in with some high-school philosophy and the latter relying on outdated science, conveniently missing information (their chart stops at the year 1970, i wonder why) and Thatcher. Margaret Thatcher is blamed for the climate change movement. I am not kidding. they're both exceptionally well-made, however, and they're pretty fun to watch - not in spite of but because they are both fucking delusional if you want something that's not in the so-bad-it's-good category, I recommend everything Louis Theroux's done, in particular: "The Most Hated Family in America", which deals with the westboro baptist church, "A Place for Paedophiles", which looks into a mental hospital that houses convicted pedos, the "Extreme Love" two-part series, which is about autism and dementia respectively, investigating the lives of those affected and "Behind Bars", where he goes to San Quentin, one of America's most notorious prisons. I also highly recommend John Safran's "John Safran vs God" and "Race Relations" series, which are both somewhat satirical glimpses into the cultural and religious spheres that stir up all kinds of conflict this youtube channel has a bunch of weird videos made by religious fundamentalists during the satanic panic of the '80s, covering things like D&D and why it is turning our children into devil worshippers. there's also some old safety and anti-drug PSAs. all in all, goofy retro fun this is my absolute favourite from that channel, a scare film which boldly claims that the smurfs are all gay zombies HZHXNbhsPQE
  13. Or just call everyone whores. It works out great for my Alt. (remember me, Edda? ) OH YOU MOTHERFUCKER THAT WAS YOU OH FUCKING GOD DAMN IT I HATE YOU I THOUGHT I WAS DEALING WITH ANOTHER MRA OR SOMETHING BUT IT WAS YOU, YOU FUCKIN accomplished jokester
  14. you could always channel your character's anti-social grumpiness into being an asshole, that's what i do just like, hang out wherever you want, the quicksand especially, and start up conversations by commenting on a person or situation say gradually more vicious things, other person is either A) mid-way through an interesting conversation with you or B) storming out in frustration cos you pissed em off both A and B are entertaining, for different reasons 8-) anti-social grumps don't need to avoid people! they could just be assholes instead!
  15. tarot's way easier than it first appears, you just gotta pick up the "meanings" of the cards then you learn to make shit up on the spot when you do readings for people think of it less as a magical exercise and more a literary one picking up cold reading/hot reading techniques helps too, there's a lot of guessing involved in tarot haruspicy is a little harder to understand because it's an ancient thing that's more or less fallen out of practice, it's fairly well-documented though - history books are your friend all methods of divination function more or less on the same principles anyway, the only difference is in the physical medium used - fire, birds, guts, cards, bones, weather, etc. learn one method and you've learnt 'em all
  16. That or Scottish. I always see people giving them a Scottish accent. I think there's an NPC with a quest somewhere that did it as well which is what they draw on. none of the scots i know speak in apostrophes 8-)
  17. i always thought of them as fantasy mexicans cos ala mhigo sounds mexican to me
  18. if you wanna stick to the norse mythology thingo you could make her a limsan, they're vaguely nordic like, what if you played as a hyur which is basically a viking? you could quite easily make a spear-wielding viking chick and end up strongly resembling a valkyrie, valkyries are basically viking angels anyway if you're intent on playing a healer, you could probably do the same thing but substitute spear with cane/book/whatever (kinda hard to get a valkyrie look on healing classes though) you can quite easily use nordic culture without being part of their myths
  19. your name is already food that's cheating
