Re: Wind and Fire

Would y'all get your minds out of the gutter? I didn't say anything about lesbians and whatnot, you have watched way too much porn.

Who says that Alex likes cute girls, maybe he's more into buff ones. After all, he is somewhat interested in Fireblade, and she might have similarly fringe preferences.

Re: [Fan Fiction] Notes and discussion for "A sword that wields itself"

Another mysterious object in human possession. I cannot help but wonder if it enhances foresight. Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to work (any longer). Maybe they have to find the other half, and duct-tape them together? :lol: I wonder even more now what role this strange planet will have in aiding ...

Re: Wind and Fire

It'll never work. Loroi females have human male attitudes & personalities. Physically they're attractive females, but mentally they're Gunnery Sergeant Hartman. Take Beryl: she expects Alex to behave like a cute Loroi male. Alex expects Beryl to behave like a cute human girl. As soon as they find o...

Re: How Taimat Might Work (take it or leave it Arioch)

Loroi by that measure must think fusion anything is quaint... antique. Since even their disosable missiles use Tiamat rather than fusion lol. But guess who STILL uses fusion? The Loroi, as well as most other advanced civilizations still use fusion reactors to generate taimat. This substance is not ...

Re: Wind and Fire

I just assumed... I mean several writers here are from Europe. You, Janessen, I just assumed Snoofman could be as well. English is actually my third language. But it was plenty obvious that Snoofman was a native speaker. I think the problem is Americans are by and large consumers more than they are...

Re: [Fan Fiction] Rellet Reimolad Roror (A sword that wields itself) Story Thread

Chapter XXXXV: The Departure The matter of the supplies and equipment was finished quickly enough, and Emberwing could now head to bed. A warrior needed to know how to fall asleep whenever or wherever necessary, irrespective of any other factors, and wake up in time, well-rested for battle. She att...

Arioch recently answered a reason why Loroi may choose to speak vocally rather than telepathically.

It should be useful for you because I do follow what you ask Arioch.
I already knew this, he already answered a similar question some time ago.

Re: Wind and Fire

Ben is making good steps towards his very own elf harem. He might not appreciate it just yet, but probably soon enough. I also liked the sports part, it was really immersive. You make good points. English is actually my first language, embarrassed to admit. When you're dedicating all your brain powe...

At least he was actually the designer of Starships , if I'm not mistaken. I think he only does "little games" now like Starships and Ace Patrol . The last game that Meier actually designed himself that I played and thought was any good was Civilization itself, and that was more than 30 years ago. I...

Re: Miscellaneous Loroi question-and-answer thread

Using PK to move a dielectric object (such as the severed head of a defeated umiak) to change the frequency would be something Fireblade could do to change the tone, but another dielectric object would be required to change the amplitude, as well. Fireblade lacks the fine control necessary for such...

Re: MoO II races and their parallels in Outsider

Civ 4 was pre-Steam and so I don't have stats on how long I played it, but I have almost 2000 hours in Civ 5 and a slightly lesser amount in Civ 6, and I suspect either number is much higher than it was for Civ 4. It's my opinion that "unstacking" armies and cities were significant and positive add...

Re: MoO II races and their parallels in Outsider

By that logic, the last Civilization game was Civilization II, since 3 and 4 were as different from the original as 5 and 6 were different from 4. 5 and 6 each have their problems, but so did 4... I find them to be very playable games, especially with all of the expansions. For those who prefer a g...

Re: MoO II races and their parallels in Outsider

On 10. December, the Master of Magic remake is published & I'll try that. Of course, it's no space game & low budget, but I wasn't very happy with the last civ iterations, either. I'll try it as well. Hopefully, it's as good as the original. Of course, it's no space game & low budget, but I wasn't ...

Re: Are We Gods Or Will We Become Like The Soia?

Where there is a will there is always a way. Lower yield than a nuke though but possible in theory and not mere fantasy or fiction. The stuff you can do with HE (high yield) explosives and magnetic fields is... believe it or not, enough to trigger a fusion reaction. The HE bombs explode and trigger...

Re: MoO II races and their parallels in Outsider

I liked Endless Space 2 much better than the first one. Though aside from the lack of control in tactical combat, I think my biggest problem with both titles is the focus on multiplayer to the detriment of single-player. There's very little sense of the other players being "real" factions... the im...

Re: MoO II races and their parallels in Outsider

The graphics were awesome, really spot on. The Silicoid, the Mrrshan - just like they should be. But the gameplay was boring - the removal of fuel & the starlanes made exploration much less fun. The real time combat made it extremely difficult to judge the various weapons and loadouts. I designed v...

Re: Are We Gods Or Will We Become Like The Soia?

Atomic bombs use only fission. Nuclear bombs use fission to kickstart a nuclear process that causes fusion of atomic nuclei. That is why nukes are so much more powerful than atomic bombs. They do not call them fusion bombs only because fission is used to kickstart the nuclear fusion reaction. Pure ...

Re: MoO II races and their parallels in Outsider

The biggest problem of MOO 3 IMO was that it was made by a completely different team from those behind MOO and MOO 2, and while that's not in itself inherently a problem, it was clear that the MOO 3 team hated the original MOO and MOO 2. In essence, they wanted to make a completely different game, ...
