I get what they mean though. Like when you have a fever but you still feel cold.

[Arx]

Studying from my notes. The examiner would probably find it funny if I referred to habitat area as lebensraum. Probably.

[Loud Whispers]

The pioneer species is the first species to take anschluss

[Reelya]

There's hot and cold sweats, but a cold fever appears to be something not even wikipedia acknowledges as anything but a movie title.

It's a traditional English language phrase. Maybe it's fallen out of use.

And you get exited about SS moths... Just don't become the white version of Mugabe, alright?

[Arx]

Hey, the skull is only one of several cool things about that moth. :v

Also unlike Mugabe I actually have useful things like a conscience and a sense of ethics.

[LordSlowpoke]

they don't really need a white version of mugabe now do they?

they're perfectly fine with black mugabes

anyway, where do you find steam people usually?

preferably not bay steam people

there's like one person from the bay who is worth keeping so far and that's a bad rate

[Descan]

am i worth keeping

also in games, you just like 'hey interesting person *add*'

and then you discover through the power of not-talking-to-them-ever-as-they-sit-on-your-friends-list that they weren't all that interesting actually

am i worth keeping

If you were an RPG item, I would definently save you for a boss battle.

The things I save 'for boss battles' or 'the final boss', I rarely ever use even at those moments.

[Frumple]

Yeah, the good ol', "I'mma save this for when I need it" *never uses, ever* thing.

It'd be nice to see another game or two where consumables had a shelf-life. Then the player's inventory could slowly deteriorate into a toxic singularity of arcanopollutants and ultimately spawn the sequel's big bad out of the morass of once-curative death. The ancient evil warned of in the prophecies would be stewing in the chosen one's pocket the whole time, as they rush around trying to thwart the incoming apocalypse they're the source of.

It'd be beautiful.

Or how about this: every hour of gameplay with some randomness to the timing, there is an X% chance that a powerful enemy is spawned, where X is the number of health potions carried in the player's inventory. It should be powerful enough that those potions practically must be used to survive.

Then you would be better off without them, negating the point in such potions existing.

[Frumple]

Loot, MH. Loot. Potionslime would drop something interesting, probably.

Alternately, just make it so you couldn't survive without them. No healing magic-equivalent, perhaps. Or just make potions impossible to avoid or drop, and have the potionmob be some sort of set encounter instead of a random one.

Could also have it so your potion supplies degenerate in effectiveness over time, something that can only be countered by fighting the beast.

Would you? Carrying a moderate amount of potions and using them as you go and fight regular enemies, with the regular enemies tough enough to occasionally need a potion or two to beat, doesn't sound too worthless. Properly balanced, a good game designer could make fights more tactical, more serious. By forcing the player to manage resources and take risks, the game becomes more engaging, and hopefully more fun.
