My guess. Chicken. It could taste like turkey, but my money is on chicken.

I wonder if they'd be more fatty than chickens or turkeys? You know, since they tend to live in extremely cold climates.

So you're suggesting Penguin Gravy? I mean, it could work.

I don't think it's as low as nefarious, but it does kind of send the wrong message. I think for me it depends on the source. I just hold a triple A publisher to a higher standard than any indie dev.

You can see why the game would want people to read it, and you can get there on why the gaming mag would show off the best of games, but yeah, I can definitely see the potential for Conflict of Interest there when it comes time to review the game.

not exactly shady but reason to take what is said with a big grain of salt

We often suffer from an overpopulation of deer, so the hunters get more "hunting season." Also, yes, I know how to prepare deer for food. But that video shows a fawn, that doesn't look full grown.

When I was younger (like, around 8 or 9) some neighbors down the road were taking care of a fawn (still had the white spots) whose mother had been hit by a car. I'll have to see if I can find that picture and share it.

We just pet deer in my dads backyard. They come give birth there too... but my dad and step mom are on some snow white level sheep.

So...just cats with cloaks? I mean, they are already nature's most prolific assassins, cute, sadistic little bastards.

Awesome video though!

Yeah but sating it is also the second best feeling in working out, aside from that heady, vaguely high feeling you get when you first stop and your breathing steadies once it's over.

Is that what it's supposed to be like? I've never experienced a post workout high in my life because I have CFS. For me all I feel after a workout is a desire to collapse and never get up again. Also pain. Doesn't matter how much or little I work out, even one situp will do it. Maybe because for someone with CFS aerobic doesn't exist. My body skips straight to anaerobic.

@The Stranger I played Bloodlines 3 times or so. Redemption didn't catch me because it's p&c.

I really liked the PC game Painkiller.

Depends if you want a hardcopy. If you're fine with an ebook, I'm betting it will show up on humblebundle sometime!

Hahahahaha. This is very true. I don't let total strangers on my social media. Only family and friends I actually know hahaha. I'm glad I was born into society before traditions etc went out the window. Plus I got to play outside free roam xD

I avoid social media like the plague it is xD
And I always remember there is a simple solution to any online-idiot..it's called the power switch on my PC

I had some family ask me to have fb since I don't live by anyone. So it's sort of like their way of knowing I'm alive. All I post is memes xD

Even Mitsoda is starting to worry me, coming out in pr apologizing for VTMB and promising that VTMB 2 is going to be less offensive. How you gonna make a game about blood-sucking monsters using humans as food less offensive? It makes all of their little nitpicks laughable and a tad cringy really, while they ignore the violence at it's core. I get he doesn't want what happened to whitewolf to come to him, but still.

@Philosophus Vagus Being on the official VTMB2 Discord, and being able to see some of the devs and Paradox employees first hand, has made me very concerned. People sometimes think the whole PC thing is a hoax, some sort of lie, but you need only observe how these people behave for a few hours to see that it's oh so very real.

It seems that they want to better show mental illness in the Malks, rather than having them be what's known as fishmalks - totally insane to the point of stupidity.

It could work well if done right. Using real mental illnesses for the clan. I mean, in the tabletop game they aren't all unhinged loons. It all comes down to how well they pull it off.

I hope so, but I'm still skeptical. Personally I like the unhinged aspect, I have a hard time rping as 'bad' in most games. Never went on a blood-drunk power trip in Vampyr, or become a thief in ES. The way malkavian's work in the original gave me an easier time justifying a bad guy from a rp perspective just because it was a lot more interested than the standard fair "just do crazy sheep because you are evil".

There's a common thread in both and it's moderation. It's what makes or breaks a community, and what makes them sustainable. Discord has been highly criticized recently; a notable action is the criticism with the inclusion of class-action waving. (1/2)

I can relate that they're trying and won't criticize such; but their Safety & Trust system needs work, and I won't feel safe to connect with gamers if one decided to randomly ban me for loopholes in their criteria.

The slowdowns are being worked on as well, and they'll probably get to a point where a bad internet can perfectly be on voice chat without sudden cut-offs. (2/2)

I'm not going to say anything else since I don't trust myself. It's exactly what I mean though about folks who don't listen.

Hahahahahaha... I.... Can't... Stop... Laughing... That sketch was so bad. Was it drawn in crayon?!

I wonder if he got to see the sketch of himself? Should've shown it him, so that he'd know how he looks to other people. xD

oh my...

I didn't know you could use mascara brushes to soothe baby animals.

Bloodlines as in... Castlevania Bloodlines or something else?

@Benny Jackdaw As in Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines.

@Philosophus Vagus Well, Troika went out of business ages ago. It's being published by Paradox Interactive, which has a fairly good reputation for putting out good games; even if they do go overboard with dlc. The story is written by Brian Mitsoda, who also wrote the story for the original Bloodlines, so it's good some old blood is working on the game.

Holy guacamole!

@Scythuz Took the word right out of my mouth. xD It's been, what, 14 or 15 years since the release of the original? Really hoping it doesn't turn out to be another Duke Nukem Forever.

It's dinner time... too much food talk. But, how about some onion ammo from the coming soon department?

@The Stranger I'm out of oniony things to look up because I'm making hushpuppies and they're taking all my onions =P

I'll raise you an apple & onion

Huh - it's not ringing a bell but it reminds me a lot of Duckula. Was it weekday or Saturdays?

I think it was on during weekdays, but I honestly can't remember. lol. A look at its wiki says it only came out in the United Kingdom and France initially, then Australia later on.

It's funny - the red snakes remind me of Cobrats from Super Mario Bros 2.

For that profession, I think the most important part is the therapist/psychologist to have empathy. That's something that cannot be taught or trained in.

Most of the therapists I've had have this annoying habit of not speaking plainly or clearly. They try to carefully tailor their words so as to not cause offence, and it annoys me. This therapist isn't like that, and I liked that she spoke plainly and in a more relaxed manner. I had to tell her today that it's something I greatly valued in others.

Unfortunately, we live in a world where modern western civilization is falling apart. We may be only one generation away from a modern "dark ages."

I remember watching a podcast with him as a guest. One of the hosts act him “are you a sociopath?” And he responded “yes I am” with a straight face. So this dude actually openly admits that he’s a whack job.

He sounds someone who shouldn't be allowed to own a gun. Probably not too far away from actually killing someone.

I thought a Uighur Board was something the Chinese did to a religious group in the N.W. corner of their country?

By contrast, I also hate wearing pretty much anything except these. My job requires I wear "business casual", which translates to polo shirts and khakis. My boss says I should dress even more business-like if I have aspirations to take on bigger supervisor jobs. But, I can't, for the life of me, imagine ever being comfy in a tie and dinner jacket. Just... no.

I have to keep my arms covered due to all of the scar tissue. I never wear short sleeved shirts on their own. I also don't wear shorts, but that's because I have really hairy legs. lol.

I love lose long sleeve clothing. I really like to lounge in guys clothing haha it's way more comfy than typical women's clothing. I'm perpetually cold though, due to being petite I suppose.
