Gaming / Re: Why is Sep7agon so anti-modding?

You've probably already answered this but what's your opinion on mods that add in/ enable content that was intended for the base game but cut due to issues like time constraints?
Depends on the case, but with KOTOR 2 specifically (which seems to be the most commonly cited case), I wouldn't care if you decided to go ahead and restore the cut content.

I personally wouldn't. If it's so important for me to experience it in some way, I would opt instead to watch clips of the restored content on YouTube.

Chris Avellone, the game's lead designer, doesn't point the finger at LucasArts for having his team at Obsidian rush the game out. He blames the team for wasting too much time fiddling around with relatively insignificant shit.

But however valiant the team's efforts, Knights of the Old Republic 2 would not be properly finished - "broken", the team implores polite old me - and asking LucasArts for an extension was out of the question. "There would have been substantial penalties had we not have made that date," Avellone tells me. But LucasArts isn't the Sith Lord in all of this, the Obsidianites are quick to point out. The house that Star Wars built sent QA people over to help in-house, and did "crucial" work getting all the game's cinematics together. The LucasArts people were so nerdy about Star Wars they could even understand the fictional language written on posters in the game, which resulted in some odd bugs being filed on Obsidian staff who didn't think such a thing was possible.

No, the real fault, Avellone says, was Obsidian's eyes being bigger than its belly. "There's a number of design decisions we could have done to de-scope the game. We should have removed all mini-games - that was a huge waste of time. And all those cut-scenes we had, the in-engine sequences: all of those were such a huge pain in the arse to set up and we could never count on them reliably." There's a reason why so many cut-scenes take place on the Ebon Hawk, and that's because Obsidian could ensure people would be standing in the right places when they triggered. Oh and redesigning the interface was also "a huge waste of time".

Therefore, the way I see it, the game deserves to be unfinished. I'm not into giving developers a pass for failing to be punctual and making good use of their development time, and since he's the LEAD designer, I'm taking his word over anyone else's.

Had LucasArts been entirely to blame for the game's unfinished state, I might have been more sympathetic.

How many Fire Emblem characters do you think they're adding and how bad do you think the Greninja and Samus nerfs will be.
greninja will be nerfed so hard, he won't even be in the game

seriously, he's out

as everyone else has said

i'm the only person who's opposed to modding

games are art and belong to their artist, and it's not anyone's place to change anything about it, with a few exceptions

Here you go with your "I'm better than you" attitude. You're not fooling anyone. There isn't a single thought in your head that hasn't been thought before. You're not special, you're not as intelligent as you seem to think, and you're certainly not the only one.

It's time to accept that.
i don't think i'm special, i don't think i'm intelligent, i don't think i'm the only one who's ever thought these things, and i don't think i'm better than anyone

but what i think doesn't matter

the fact remains that i am all of those things, regardless of how i personally feel

Sending a message to who? If this is just about you, that's fine, as long as you can admit that it doesn't matter in the long run.

You can't do anything verb. Your beliefs mean dick if you can't affect change. Doesn't matter though, this is just a phase and you'll grow out of it.

You're here for a short time verb, if this is how you want to spend it they by all means go for it.
this is how beneath me you are

people told me the same thing when i was 13, and at 22, i haven't changed my worldview one iota—the only thing that changes is my perspective, my knowledge, my education, and my vocabulary, and the smarter i get, the more i realize just how right i am about pretty much everything that matters

i'm going to be 60 years old, and i'm going to be the exact same way, if not even more extreme

meanwhile, you're going to be an insipid cunt for the rest of your life, that's not a phase you're going to grow out of

it's people like you that inspire me to transcend everything that makes you who you are—you're a fucking washed out druggie loser, and i've made it my life's mission to be absolutely nothing like you

Stopped caring as much would be more accurate. You'll get burnt out on your own bullshit one way or another.
That's called getting dumber. Apathy is for fucking idiots.

People have been saying this shit to me for years, and I've only ever doubled down on my beliefs. Because they're right.
And yet you've done nothing to enforce your beliefs.  Doubling down on your beliefs to prove people wrong is just about the worst reason I can think of.
what is veganism
How has you becoming vegan affected the meat industry?
it's not about affecting the meat industry, you fucking moron

nobody goes through a "verb phase," and that's probably the stupidest thing i've heard all year

people might go through an edgy phase in their teen years where they can't figure out who they are or why they're here, so they turn to nihilism or some other stupid philosophy (that has absolutely nothing to do with my own) and start hating the world for no particular reason, they're just going through a phase

the difference is that i have extremely detailed reasons and levels upon levels of multitudinous, layered, and nuanced perspectives for every single one of my deepest convictions, and i can sit here and argue all day about them, because they're literally the only things that i've thought about for the past decade

the kind of people you're talking about don't do anything of the sort, because they don't actually believe in anything

i do, so you simply can't lump me in with them

i could say about you, that you're just going through your late 20s phase where all you do is say extremely stupid shit

because all you do is say extremely stupid shit

Also yes, sex is fine because masturbating is gay but mouth fucking some dumpster slut you met at McDonald's at 2am isn't.
so you've never been anything or thought anything like me

gotcha
You seem to misunderstand what a phase is, given your past two remarks.

Your opinion will change or you're going to end up on the news. I don't think the way you do anymore because I grew out of that toxic mindset. I had a verb phase, verb is in a verb phase, tons of people go through a verb phase.
No, they don't.

You never had my mindset, ever. Even if you did, it's not something that you "grow out of."

You're basically saying that you got dumber, and started thinking less. Which is probably true.

Verb, your going through your "everything sux!" phase. Eventually you just break down and accept that things aren't perfect and aren't going to be and a lot of that anger goes away.

Almost everyone goes through this.

You're not special, you're not better than anyone, you're human like everyone else.
do phases normally last 10 years

these are all opinions i've strongly held for basically my whole conscious life

how is that a phase

Why do you get off on thinking you're so superior to everybody else? What do you think the underlying reason is?
I'm just a deeply competitive person.

If I can get one over on everybody, then I can die happy knowing that I wasn't as stupid or shitty as 70% of the population. Some people are competitive and enjoy feeling like they're better, whether they are or not, and I'm just one of those people.

Physical violence tops it

Seriously, boxers who would have sex will go without it, and martial artists can really dedicate everything to the art. I'm sure there are other things people can care for as much, but when it comes to fighting it'll always hold a special place in my heart due to the physical pain you can get from being careless or unready.
I can kinda see that, I guess, but mostly for women and if you extend it to athleticism in general. I feel like most athletic pursuits have historically just been a show of masculinity and alpha-ness, which, of course, is just a roundabout way of attracting mates.

Meanwhile, women athletes are a relatively new thing, and I feel like most women who work out do it because they actually want to, rather than for anybody else. Guys work out, generally, because they think it'll get them women. Women work out because... I really don't know. It's easier to generalize with guys, because women tend to have more nuanced reasons for doing the things they do.

You might say it's because a lot of women tend to be health nuts, and good health leads to increased youthfulness, and the more youthful a woman looks, the more sexually desirable she is.

I'm kinda rambling now, but I can't speak directly to boxing because I just don't have that perspective. You could be onto something, but my gut reaction is to be skeptical.

Nah, it would be kind of a relief tbh. Would be more productive if I never thought about that stuff.
Yeah, that doesn't surprise me. It's probably fair to say that you need to be of a certain disposition to just be able to brush it off, and you're certainly of that disposition I'd say. But I really do think most other people wouldn't be able to cope. It would be interesting to see what they'd actually do.

Wow you passed 9th grade biology
I wish I could just crush your skull.

Nowhere in 9th grade biology do they go into the implications of living for sex and sex only. They don't teach you that. They teach you that organisms live to reproduce, but they never say "only." They leave room for other things.

I'm saying no, sex really is the only thing. No exaggeration, no room for anything else, unless you're a genius like me. I'm sorry you were dropped too many times as a child to see the underlying implications of these things, but consider yourself lucky, because I don't think anyone else would've been as gentle.

The average person only goes through the rigmarole of life because they believe it will eventually lead to sex.

It is literally the only reason people do anything, especially men. On average. There are exceptions, like me. But most of you shitheads are only here for one reason, and it's just a matter of how honest you are about it.

If I told you tomorrow that you could never have sex again (or ever, if you're still a virgin)—wait, actually, let's take it further. If I told you that you'll never be sexually satisfied again, meaning you can't even masturbate, orgasm, or feel any sort of sexual pleasure whatsoever, most of you would probably kill yourselves, or at least consider doing so. Or you would just spiral into sheer dejection or insanity. Tell me I'm wrong.

if she's okay with that, she's a fucking idiot
if she's a trump supporter herself, she's an even bigger fucking idiot
if she doesn't care about politics, she's still an idiot
if she's not okay with that, but wouldn't stop seeing you because of it, she's a fucking idiot

if she's not okay with it and is smart enough to cut you off, then you're cut off

it's a lose-lose-lose-lose-lose situation for you
