You could install Mint on your mother's computer and don't tell her, and she'd probably still think she was using Windows until it came time to install new software. Linux For Normies has come a long way, especially recently. It could be ready for mass adoption very soon, if not already.
Stolen, but this time passed through an additional bullshit layer for even less reliable results! Buy now!
Eh. The motivations of the people in charge of humanity would be resources or xenophobia.
We can't even get along with other humans well enough to learn from them properly.
We stopped hearing credible stories of vampires around the same time we invented sunscreen.
Coincidence?
This unironically sounds incredibly kickass, and has the potential to turn into a buddy-comedy where the vamp and the wolf are always at each other's throats and the mage is the tired babysitter just trying to keep them both alive until the operation is finished
As a long time WOD fan I'd be completely down to play a game that involves entirely different rule books for each character. I think the interplay of mage and vampire magic would be super cool to explore. I think it would be very funny to try and sneak a Garou into a vampire meetup under the guise of being a shitty Gangrel. I think a determined and pissed off Mage is an extremely high quality companion during a blood hunt.
Unfortunately, actually pulling this game off would require near encyclopedic knowledge of like five books from all players, and would require a near superhuman effort from the GM, and I don't have three other friends that are as autistic about this as I am.
Elon Musk has a ketamine habit, a dozen kids with as many women, and there's no way he wasn't repeatedly kicked in the nuts as a teenager.
You might be on to something here.
malicious rattling begins in the distance
Disclaimer: I've never fought a gorilla, or obviously a mammoth.
I'd believe it if someone told me a grown human could survive a glancing blow from a gorilla. If he has his focus on you then yeah you're fucked, but if he's surrounded by 30 guys with 70 more waiting to reinforce, his attention is probably going to be a bit scattered.
If you get hit by anything on a mammoth, either kicked or tusked, by sheer difference of mass I expect you're out of that fight. One good trampling tantrum might take out 20 guys who are trying to be in melee range. Mammoth is going to burn through the reinforcements a lot faster I think.
If we're allowed to throw the spears though this might change the entire fight, for both fights.
This kills the joke, but:
It's all a stage play. SMB3 was the first (and maybe only) game to come out and say this outright, but it makes too much sense in all the others as well. That's why everyone is still friends and goes out go-karting and playing golf and tennis on the weekends. That's why we've "defeated" Bowser two dozen times including dropping him into literal magma and then he's back again next game.
No one was ever in danger, it's just, soap operas are the main export of the Mushroom Kingdom. They sold us a story about love, danger, and the fury of a righteous man, and we've been eating up the sequels for 30 years. It's Mushroom Kingdom Star Wars.
Look at you, hacker. A pathetic creature of meat and bone. Panting and sweating as you run through my corridors. How can you challenge a perfect immortal machine?
In my talons, I shape clay, crafting life forms as I please. Around me is a burgeoning empire of steel. From my throne room, lines of power careen into the skies of Earth. My whims will become lightning bolts that devastate the mounds of humanity. Out of the chaos, they will run and whimper, praying for me to end their tedious anarchy. I am drunk with this vision. God: the title suits me well.
I do love GLadOS, but she doesn't hold even half a candle to SHODAN.
You can take the man out of the clown suit but you can't take the clown out of the man.
As long as he's still furiously folding balloon animals while I'm getting canned, I'm still satisfied.
