    Experienced Points: No Man's Interface

    Having you back is probably one of the best things about the rebirth of Escapist :D. Also, I'm surprised that more people didn't talk about NMS's interface, cause holy shit does it sound bad.

    Anybody here playing Dota 2/wanting to get back in?

    Hello, long time lurker here. I've recently got back into Dota 2 and I've been looking for someone mature to play some games with. Skill level doesn't matter (I'm not exactly great myself), what's important for me is that a person doesn't scream at their teammates when something goes wrong or...

    Best female protagonists in gaming?

    When it comes to that very first story, the thing that you have to remember is that it was published a good few years before the others. It's fairly obvious that at that point Sapkowski envisioned Geralt to be much more ruthless and not shy of doing very questionable acts to pursue his goals...

    Vermintide 2 is how you do a sequel right.

    As someone who played a decent amount of VT 1, let me be a little bit of a wet blanket here. WARNING: Incoming wall of text. "Vermintide 2 is how you do a sequel right" Sure, if you ignore how much of a buggy mess it is. There are still so many glitches in that game I'm seriously...

    Post puns

    "My friend gave me some dead batteries." "Did you have to pay for them?" "Nah, they were free of charge." What do you call a five foot tall psychic who escaped from prison? A small medium at large. A physicists is on a roof of a very tall skyscraper and sees a man about to leap off...

    Update on Erin Dies Alone

    Yeah, but that's because in the past year they've updated what, like 7 or 8 times? The way you say it makes it sound like they had hundreds of panels in this one room, but it's only been like that because they weren't able to update the comic.

    So is the Escapist dead?

    Unfortunately there's nothing anyone can do to keep it going. The owners of this site - Defy Media - have essentially dropped all support for it. They don't give a shit about it and any attempts to reach them have been met with silence. The only reason it's still alive is Yahtzee and once that's...

    What is...or what makes an 'Alpha 2.0' existence?

    Surprisingly enough it isn't. The guys in the video distance themselves from the whole toxic machismo thing right from the get go. Alpha 2.0 is basically just another self-help "be the best you you can possibly be" thing, with a diet and fitness plan and all that stuff.

    What's the Most Generic Romance Anime?

    Hey, no problem. By any chance, would you know any black magic spells I can use in my marriage? Just curious.

    When does personal preference become intolerance?

    Yeah, that requires the kind of self-awareness and introspection that very few people possess. OT: I think that Robert Marks mentioned a pretty vital point - it's fine to have preferences as long as you don't attach a value judgement to them. It's ok to say "I don't necessarily want to date...

    Your sadistic options are...

    Eh, if I were serious I'd save the dev (cause I mean, it's kind of the ethical thing to do, they're a human after all), but for the sake of the thread I'll choose the IP. After all, there's more than 7,5 billion of us on this planet now - let's be honest, at this point no one is truly...

    Is Erin Dies Alone Dead?

    I second both 8-bit Theater and Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal . SMBC has daily strips with joke revolving around science, philosophy and occasionally, dicks, while 8-bit theater has some of the funniest dialogue I've ever read. Other than that I would also recommend Cyanide & Happiness...

    Good Strategy Games for Beginners

    When it comes to Crusader Kings I would recommend watching a playthrough. I was also initially overwhelmed by the complexity, but after watching somebody play it I was able to jump in and do pretty well (though admittedly on the easiest difficulty). The one I watched specifically was by this...

    So apparently JonTron is a racist

    Walls of text, ey? Lemme put my reply in a form that might be more familiar to you: >shitposter tries to get into a discussion by posting two studies he found after 10 seconds of googling which he didn't even read >shitposter gets slapped about as people point out that the studies don't even...
