Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
I mean, I'm here, I doubt it.

Shut up, me, I'm trying to be more confident.
Unfortunately all the skill points are in underwater table tennis, I should probably invest a few in writing.
I also seem to mainly base video game purchases on how bad everybody claims the game is. Ultima IX has one of the worst control schemes I've seen in a third person RPG, and that's including Daggerfall. At least I picked up 1-6 at the same time.Last edited by HalfTangible; 2019-09-17 at 10:41 AM.

I use braces (also known as "curly brackets") to indicate sarcasm. If there are none present, I probably believe what I am saying; should it turn out to be inaccurate trivia, please tell me rather than trying to play along with an apparent joke I don't know I'm making.

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
Oh, if the control scheme were the only thing wrong with Ultima IX it wouldn't have the reputation it has. It's more the way it defecates from a great height all over the storyline and themes of the series it's nominally a part of that annoyed fans. TBH, if you want to play a really good Ultima RPG then you should have gone for 7--6 and earlier, while good, are a bit primitive to modern sensibilities and 8 was too arcadey for its own good.

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
Mountains that go above the water are called land. And underwater they may be, but you still need to go *down* to get to them.
Also there is absolutely underwater mountains, goofball.
And while they may technically be summits I don't think it really counts as a metaphorical summit if you have to swim DOWNWARD to get to them (at that stage wouldn't the valleys and trenches be more impressive?)Last edited by HalfTangible; 2019-09-17 at 01:36 PM.

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
You may be the best, but I am still the prettiest!
Also yes, I am that vain, there are so many times when I feel like the prettiest person in the room. I need to grow my hair out and wear it in proper Celtic Warrior braids!
Unfortunately I didn't pick up Ultima VII before the sale ended. I got 1-6 because I actually wanted to experience it from the beginning, and IX to see if it's truly terrible without having played the previous games.
Even ignoring the betrayal it's a serious contender for Worst Game Ever. The controls are bad, the combat is dull, the story is confusing, and the main character is unlikeable. Ultima 1 can't be that bad compared to this.

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
Sure they do. It is very ego/human centric to say that Mauna Kea is not an immense mountain just because WE happen to start most of the way up already.
and since to reach the highest state or degree (a metaphorical summit) one would need its comparative..thus the opposite would be its lowest point if we are going to use a distance based system. (One could use a temporal "starting" point but that again assumes a shared frame of reference that is not really assumable IMO)

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
Oh I did read it. I'm just saying climbing mauna kea, if done from the base will be a bigger summit...And you do have to swim down to reach the base and start climbing from there...that's A LOT more work. . . . your way assumes people are starting at sea level. I'm saying it would matter more about DeltaXZ no matter where you start from for it to be a summit. If you want to "summit" an underwater mountain you certainly can, it just needs you to start on the ocean floor first. So sea-cucumbers may do it all the time, humans not so much...(Now I have images of sea urchins planting little flags running through my head)

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
To mangle C.S Lewis: 'To mer-folk, mountains and valleys are the opposite under the sea. They build their towns in the peaceful peaks and their knights descend into the depths where the monsters lurk'
So 'climbing' sea mountains would potentially involve trying to reach their bases and could be very difficult!
Also the usual answer to why people go mountain-climbing is 'because it's there'Spoiler: Pixel avatar and Raincloud Durkoala were made by me. The others are the work of Cuthalion.

I might be open to try kale-flavored candy canes this Christmas. I know it too early but I just read this in a news article that some people say that kale-flavored candy canes will ruin Christmas.

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
How can you be, you don't possess the pearly pink poncho of permanent perfect pristine prettiness
So I got the Ultima VII Complete Collection as well, maybe I'll look into recording my playthrough of 1-7 and upload a let's play. Alternatively I could not embarrass myself with my fumbling about being unable to work out how to play these old games.
And people say I'm not in a relationship because I never commit to anything...Last edited by Anonymouswizard; 2019-09-17 at 05:50 PM.

Embarrassing yourself is the whole reason I watch people play games. I watch some streamers just so I can yell at their mistakes, and others so I can laugh at them.

Re: SZbNAhL's Similarly Sibilant (if unpronouncable) Random Banter #223
Oh, I do believe that the best writer has been found.
As Anonymouswizard has previously indicated which of the British Isles his ancestors came from (that would be the Island where some may object to being called such), and as I also have ancestors that came from that island I have a suspicion why the whitening in sunnier climes:
I've said more than once: "Please let me get my hat, you know my people catch fire" (note to self, stay in San Francisco's fog belt).
