#astro-turfing

[jaythelay]

People gotta understand the gaming industry is trying to astro-turf the fuck out of discussions.

Nobody believes games should be 70$. Nobody ever believes in raising the price. This industry is making more than double the Music and TV industry, every other industry it crushes.

Why the hell would you the consumer ever believe such nonsense? To be dumb enough to use cartridge prices when the industry had no guaranteed sales? No baseline or pre-built standards? Everything from scratch vs today's market where most companies are stealing from artists, like Dead Rising Redux and Capcom as of recent.

Fact is this, you'd be an idiot to make the claim "I knew no one who owned VHS's back then" because that's a lie. Besides that, just because you anecdotally didn't know anyone, doesn't define the inability to not own your purchased products.

It"s asinine. Quit letting these companies get away with this insulting guerrilla marketing bullshit you and I are not dumb enough to fall for.

You can't fucking lie that the gaming and TV industry survived off rentals. Shut the fuck up liar, I was there, everyone owned DVDs and VHS tapes, actual copies of games? What the fuck are you talking lying about!?!?

the history of postmodernism is a bit more convoluted I believe, but the idea that queer theory popped up overnight and really could be a well-funded psyop to some degree was I thought just the general consensus now. or anyways it’s still my belief. where was that guy’s article on how it was suddenly talked about as a coherent theory in the media and academics were rubbing their heads like, what is this?

My neighbour runs a scam company where he's basically a landlord for landlords (he works from home and takes all his calls in the garden so I get to hear his sale pitch on repeat and it's either a) nonsense or b) just lies) and they've been mildly annoying but like liveable as neighbours. (I mean they haven't fired bb pellets into our garden or thrown constant teen ragers so we can forgive the occasional 1am karaoke party.)

But now the prick has gotten himself a metallic purple lamborghini that he now every single fucking morning revs outside the fucking house at 10am bc he doesn't actually have a real job and then he drives it round the streets for like an hour or so and you can hear it coming back for like a full five minutes bc it's a VERY loud car and we live in a quiet suburb.

Every. Single. Morning.

If they didn't have cameras on their property like the arseholes they are I would very seriously consider pouring sugar in his petrol tank. 🙃🙃🙃

Not me at 8am thinking about how weird it is that anyone turns to blood magic. From a writing/character motivation perspective, it's surprising to me that so many are willing to do so. Three reasons:

1. For the most part, Circle mages are Andrastian. The idea of becoming maleficar should be the greatest sin they can think of. See: Wynne

2. "But fade" you say "that's exactly what proves how desperate they are." Sure, but Andrastian or not, the very idea of being possessed by something evil is akin to gambling with your life. It's a form of suicide.

3. "But fade" you say "that's exactly what proves how desperate they are." Okay but they're LITERAL MAGES. Look at all the legal spells they know. Have a senior enchanter cast a mass paralysis, some miasma, a crushing prison. They have insane control spells. I basically only build control and healing mages and don't even look at the damage spells. A handful of senior enchanters and a few apprentices could do some serious damage without blood magic. Heck, from a purely game mechanics perspective (which is admittedly a poor one), mages are harder to kill than demons. In a fight with mages and demons, you target the mages first cause their spells can eff the whole fight up. Yea, templars have anti magic abilities, but those also work on blood mages! So now what? What's the plan here? As soon as you summon demons, there's really no great end game for a mage.

All of this to say, blood magic is a real lose-lose choice. I suppose if you use blood magic "just a little bit, no demon summoning", you might get away from the Circle and do alright? That must be the allure, the Jowan path, and it's a very narrow one to tread, but the only one that looks like it could have a happy ending. Things still caught up with Jowan, but he was sooo close.

Also, look at our boy Anders, Circle escape artist, no blood magic. Sure, he might be a once in a generation talent.

I have no point, just thoughts. Mainly: have you seen the legal mage spell list? Brooooooo. Blood magic might get you there faster, but paralysis works pretty well on elite and even some bosses. Might be all you need to escape! Don't forget to find your phylactery or it was all for naught, blood mage or no!
