@devin@monsterpit.net @Lioness Yeah, it's still there, but kinda different/simplified:
There's no longer classes of Hero that bring class specific spells to the battlefield, instead they have a Secret Tech (class), but for Heroes that's more about passive buffs & elemental affinities.
The presence or absence of a Hero or Leader no longer affects what Spells you can cast, or how much they cost.
Instead, you've got:
1. Doctrines (strategy map; faction-wide social buffs)
2. Strategic Operations (strategy map; army buffs/debuffs, strategy map summons, city buffs/debuffs, espionage)
3. Tactical Operations (battle map; tactical spells including temporary unit summons)
They all have their own limits of how many you can cast (points based, upgrade with research), and they usually require Energy, which is also used for buying and upgrading units.
I've had "Dress Sexy for my Funeral" by Smog stuck in my head since before I woke up fsr
I mean, it's a good song, but still.. Weird choice for an earworm, brain
First the Mercator Projection, now Cornwall
Everything I was taught in Geography was a lie

re: Hitman 2, videogames natter, ingame violence [abstract]
..I do just want a Lupin III game made in the style of Hitman, tbh
Basically the same, but with stealing stuff instead of killing people
Right down to the player-made contracts. "Steal these 3 people's watches, while dressed as a fuzzy mascot, equipped with only a coin and a hairpin"
Give the player style points for completing a theft perfectly, *then* dramatically whipping off their disguise in the middle of a group of guards
"It was actually me all along!!"
Then run like heck to the exit
Hitman 2, videogames natter, ingame violence [abstract]
Hitman 2 really missed a beat making the multiplayer symmetrical
Gimme one player trying to do a murder and the other player being some supersleuth detective trying to track em from the clues
"Hmmm a closet full of unconscious, naked waiter.. Any other detective would overlook this, but not I.."
And then it'd just all go Lupin III real quick
With ridiculous disguise reveals and emergent comedy chases
re: uk politics, outsider question
@LexYeen@snouts.online it's definitely not okay
._.
@colon_three have you tried spraying them with a water bottle?
@Brainship Oh yeah, absolutely
Any prehistoric-critter-flavour fantasy murder monster can be a Dyvern tbh
Pterasaurs, Mosasaurs, heck, throw any fantastical Synapsids you come across in there, it's all good
Omnicidal Attack Sharks are now Shyverns, if you were wondering
I can get behind dinosaurs as naked, bemuscled vaguely-therapod xenomorphs in media so long as it's like, "this is an established fantasy clade".
There needs to be a name that isn't 'dinosaurs' for it, though. One that still lets them like, exist in media alongside dragons and hypno-snakes and hellhounds and zombies
'Dyverns'
There, I fixed dinosaurs in media

Every once in a while I've gotta remind people that
Dogtato exists and is wonderful
and
This episode is queer as heck
Mmm nope heat is bad
Just stick me in a perfect vacuum
Nice and cold
@lambdagrrl learning a lot of controversial opinions here :P
re: Spiders -
(I shook it off the pillow, spider was fine)
Spiders -
Pretty messed up that all those "Don't do these Activating Things before bed!!" sleep hygiene lists don't have
"Find a Giant House Spider under one of your pillows"
Because that was *definitely* an Activating Bedtime Activity
@eris@cybre.space I'm the opposite x.x
I tend to write emails like letters and I worry it comes across as overly formal and standoffish
Ughh I have a laser appointment on my face
and that thing where you sleep badly and your neck seizes up
this will make for a fun combination
re: spider
@eris@cybre.space Can it run fast? Might be a Giant House Spider.
@StarshipAmelia There was also something that *looked* just like a Starfleet kinda observation tower that had accidentally uncloaked in the middle of some fields and sheep
A friend said it was just a bit of a motorway service station, that popped up over the hills hiding the rest of it
So either reality is kinda boring
orrrrr
my friend is an alien spy
🤷
