Really, ask about any woman around here at least. They prefer siglthy or widely older man not because monetary reasons, but maturity, okay money also play a key role but lots of adult woman rather guys that are finish with the inmaturity of promiscuity and whatnot... or at least hide it very well.

The money part is taking for granted along maturity. And plus everyone is sadly poor around here so wealth is really relative.

My 2LP copy of Come My Fanatics by the almighty Electric Wizard arrived from the UK today. Sonic obliteration has commenced.    

The sun burns in the stranger's eyes
Just one tear before he dies
Black mass can't ease the pain
There's nothing here, there's nothing sane
I hope this fuckin' world fuckin' burns away
And I'd kill you all if I had my way
But I'll live forever
Questions curse me, why?
Oh Lord above, why won't you let me dieee

Played a large amount of Warhammer 40k Dawn of War when It first came out, then eagerly lapped up all the expansions, beating all the campaigns.
After deciding to check it out again (mostly to figure out how to play a super big mod that I tried to get working in the past but completely failed to get working) I discovered something interesting.
Somehow it turns out I didn't play all of them and I missed an entire expansion which includes two entire factions, and after some deliberation decided to snap buy it and get completely new content for a game that I haven't played for almost a decade.
Real happy about this discovery.

Oh lord... you are talking about Soul Storm?

[Frumple]

Hey now, soul storm was plenty enjoyable. Maybe somewhat of a step down from dark crusade, but it wasn't terrible.

Also serves as the base for some of the better mods, iirc. When you're done fiddling with the base game lemon, you might want to scope the dawn of war modding scene, it has some neat stuff.

[LordBaal]

Oh it was... yeah I mean mechanically introduced some interesting stuff. I was highly disapointed when they introduced the magic elf gates to move your troops from planet to planet instead of using ships but well... two things failed miserably there, the flyer units and the campaing dialoges/script.

At what point does a game get so many mods it can be considered a separate game?

[Yoink]

When a publisher can get away with marketing it as one for big $$$$   

[LordBaal]

Like counter strike.

[Loud Whispers]

or dota. Or the sick BFME reforged coming out

Ship of Theseus, innit?

Ship of Theseus, innit?

I believe so, yes

[Frumple]

But sure, if you're asking if games have been modded to the point the gameplay and whathaveyou is wildly different than the base, then yes. Warcraft 3's an eternal good example of it (well, sorta', reforged kinda' screwed things up but whatever, before that), with custom maps that turned a real time strategy game into stuff that included third person shooters, racing games, turn based rpgs, and more. Plenty of stuff utterly divergent from the base experience.

It's far from alone, it mostly just depends on how accessible the game is to modders and/or how invested or stubborn the folks in question are. People have done wild things over the decades.

A local Modell's Sporting Goods store is going out of business this weekend, and my mom and I stopped by. I picked up a pair of compression sleeves for about $15(normally $25 each). Those should be helpful especially in the winter to keep my arms warm. My mom purchased two of the clothing shelves for $5 each - yes, they're selling the actual store shelves. And the cleaning supplies. And the anti-theft scanner at the entrance of the store($500).

Apparently when they say "everything must go", they aren't kidding.

[hector13]

What is your mother going to use the anti-theft scanner for?
