Daily Mage skill ovulation post, part deux: TEMPEST Yeah, this one's broken for me too. Though I noticed you're using Postimages to host them. I think that may be the problem. I used to use them all the time, years ago, but I find that they're a terrible hosting site now. I can't even view half the images I have on there now. Postimages I only switched to a month or ago as imgur made changes I did not like. Postimages after originally being great has become really unstable with behind the scenes changes they mad and images disappearing and reappearing. I am now bouncing between the two.

Unless I missed something, I'm pretty sure Mind Blast and Chain Lightning are the only two abilities that have properly been in all four games.

I had to explain, "Look, it's important that you understand that I have zero game. None." "So when I say that a line is flirty, it's not like overtly sexual. It's basically banter but you're smiling innocently while you say it." Then iirc the voice actor said, "Wow. You DO have zero game." Malcolm @themalcolmtent.bsky.socialReal life Renegade interrupt John Epler is very tired @eplerjc.bsky.socialif you want steamy we have multiple followers for that but if you like the feeling of desperately trying to get someone to understand you’re flirting have I got the follower for you Uuummm ...

I used to use them all the time, years ago, but I find that they're a terrible hosting site now. I can't even view half the images I have on there now. Weird. It's working fine for me (tested on multiple devices). These are quite hefty gifs, Postimages is the only hosting site I found that accomodates that. Others like Imgur have a much lower size limit, which impacts the gif quality... I noticed the only time I could see your gifs is after I made a another post in the thread. Otherwise, it didn't matter how long I let it idle or if I refreshed the page multiple times. Maybe it's just the server feeding to my region. In any case, no worries (on my end), I post here pretty regularly...

Also, as a person who wouldn't realize they're being flirted with even if you held up a sign that said "I'm interested in you and trying to flirt" - I still wouldn't get it. I'd just be like "Oh, aren't they friendly". |

Yeah, Imgur's change in how they handle uploading images & albums didn't exactly endear me either. Is there a decent 3rd option? It's been more than a decade since I last posted on the BSN. Thank you Hrungr - even after all this time you still post tons of developer updates and tweets and everything else. Even though I've not been actively posting here, I've been following your output here. I think the whole community has really appreciated your hard work.
I wasn't exactly very prolific on the old BSN, but I remember you in the old DAI days.
Thanks again for your awesome contributions to the DA community. You made the decade-long wait a little bit easier...

Aveline???? Yep, a whole quest line in DA2 (which I liked and thought was funny!) for that, heehee. There was a poor version in Andromeda where some weird guy in the big ark hub area wants you to tell your ship's engineer he likes him haha. Actually the romance with the pilot a female Ryder can have is hilariously awkward too. I liked a similar quest in Outer Worlds (not Bioware, obviously), Parvati's companion quest where you get her together with Junlei. |

Science officer, I guess, since she was doing the scans. Ryder and Kallo *would* make a funny couple though, yeah!

Just returned from the daily gauntlet around social media. Sorry to stir this up once more, but I just don't understand the haters at all. If you're gonna dislike the game "honestly", I may not share but understand - the artstyle - the tone - lack of continuity - gameplay changes Yet the most endurant by far and always, are those criticising the "PC'ness" (in whichever flavour the commented material prompts). If you're just trolling, you are leading a sad existence, spending slightly MORE time on a subject than its actual geeks. And it's not a particular funny troll neither. If this is supposed to be someone voicing their feelings as a fan, I don't understand how you ever got to be a fan in the first place. BW has been especially outspoken about all of these issues ever since social media became such a thing. Like they've never gave anyone reason to expect anything less than what we always got, on that front. So you're fine enough with the exact same behaviour for some 15-20 years, but this is the straw that broke the camel's back? John Epler is very tired @eplerjc.bsky.socialif you want steamy we have multiple followers for that but if you like the feeling of desperately trying to get someone to understand you’re flirting have I got the follower for you Uuummm ...

Like obviously dancing around and wondering how to address these points and not going too much into the weeds...but that thought has occured to me a lot, in some form, that 'hat you were fine with BioWare doing all this stuff with bathroom humor and juvenile jokes and petty character ecomplaints but now its a bad thing?' Like I have to wonder if its not BioWare who has changed but the audience in some ways. And what does THAT say about me? But then with the social issues, like I have my politics, but BioWare has always addressed social issues. And whether or not I agree with the specifics I have always been fine about it because A. they have always been open and honest about it ever since ME 1/ Origins. B. Its always been well written in context, to this point, and C. the rest of their stories are high quality and really resonate with me even outside of the politics so I am willing to overlook it because their stories have always had much more deeper universally relevant themes even beyond their specific social commentary.

Are you hyped? I repeat - ARE YOU HYPED???
Although I have no idea why you should be hyped. Yeah, it releases tomorrow, but let's be real. We already know what it's all about. We've seen it and there is already a better game out there that does everything on a higher level of polish. Dialogue is the same cringe-fest most of the time, RP is pretty much non-existent, there are no improvements on the story or quest front. We can't do anything through the dialogue wheel and our choices don't matter one bit.
Yeah, graphics are shinier and combat has been mostly ok. But doesn't it feel that it's just another greedy cash grab from a company that keeps going in an anti-consumer direction? And yet people can't wait to throw more money at it. Who needed this release anyway?
But enough about the Horizon Zero Dawn Remaster. I want to talk Veilguard now.
Less than 29 hours until we plaaaaaaaaaaaay!!!

It is furthermore a conviction of mine that (pardon if I start sounding like a broken record on these things) if a nasty ol' pandering happens, and I smell it, my first thought is "oh they just did this to represent group XYZ". My second thought is "this is not adressed to me, but I guess if the recipients feel just a slight bit better about anything, I-fucking-RL, than the sacrifice I, intellectual connaisseur of art and consumer of entertainment just endured, shall be deemed worthwhile".
I love gaming and I'm not belittling the importance of immersion and escapism, but fuck. Priorities, people. It's the same kind of bizarre value system people sometimes have interacting with any type of service personnel (waiters, hotels) , "having paid any amount a regularly employed person can muster for any type of recreational enjoyment, does NOT entitle you to be THIS crazy".
