Why do birds suddenly appear?

I mean, that's weird, right? You open up your freezer, looking for some leftover chili, and a flock of one-eyed crows comes flying out, all of them chanting something in an ancient runic language.

What's up with that?

Of course, scheduling two distinct #dnd groups regularly and in parallel to pull something like that off would never happen, unless we were all retired and running the game in a retirement community.

Hmm, someday...

I have this fantasy of running two #dnd games in parallel.

In one game, the players would be part of an army that just overthrew a tyrant, and are now fighting terrorists in the capital city as they attempt to restore order.

In the other game, the players would be freedom fighters whose legitimate ruler was killed by an invading army, and who are trying to restore the heir to the throne.

The point would be that both sets of players would be convinced they were the good guys.

So here's the thing. Nobody except your instance admin can MAKE you CW for politics/racism/etc.

But if you're one of those people who think "my topic is so important that it would be wrong to CW it, because The People Need To Know", then "The People" will start muting you, and pretty soon you'll just be yelling to yourself. I know I've muted a fair few people for politics without CW, and I'm sure I'm not the only one.

So if you want "The People" to read what you have to say, CW. #meta

Come to think of it, Metal Gear Ac!d was one of my favorite games in the Metal Gear series, even though I know most fans hated it. Guess I really like that "using cards in what would normally be action games" mechanic.

My second pick for best gameplay would probably be Dream Drop Distance, because of the three-dimensionality of it--you can leap off of walls and such. I hear that you'll still be able to do that in #3, which gives me hopes for it.

But it does have the "walk in circles" problem.

I'm revisiting the Kingdom Hearts series via the 1.5+2.5 rerelease, and I like the gameplay of Chain of Memories the best of any of the series. So much of the combat in the other games is just "Pound X and watch Sora do cool animations", and CoM forces you to think about your actions a lot more than that.

The exploration is better than the other games, too; it doesn't have the "walk in circles until you trigger a cutscene" feel that some of them do.

LB: @thefishcrow did an awesome piece for me a while back. Can recommend.

Come to think of it, it's funnier that way.
