I always forget that they made Might and Magic real time after V. Then again, I've spent the last year trying to maintain enthusiasm to finish I, so maybe that isn't so odd.

I read it and I was instantly hooked, and then...

"Projected Relase 2018"

Why....? WHY? WHHHYYYYYYYY?!

I need pugs now!

I find myself in a weird spot

Currently the Supergirl show is written almost exactly the way they would write Superman, right down to using several of his villains and even genderswapped versions of his characters.

I'd complain but currently we aren't getting any Superman... Or at least right now we are getting dark and gritty Jesus Horseman of the Apoc Superman.

So I'll take what I can get.

So I just did something dumb.
I was half listening to something playing on my computer, having a bit of a think about the future, running on the spot, enjoying how slippery my socks are. Closed my eyes to focus on what I was thinking of.
Next thing I know I just walked headfirst into a concrete wall.
I think I'm going to have a bruise. But honestly that was so stupid that I deserve it.

Game wise, might consider one of the newer ones? Or age of wonders or somethin'. Something from the disciples series, mebbe. Always had a fit trying to play homm3, m'self -- almost every aspect of the design felt oddly unpleasant and simultaneously enticing. Really wanted to play it and enjoy it, and there was a lot about it that was attractive, but it just never quite clicked.

Ultimately was only ever to really get sunk in when I was cheating pretty gratuitously, heh. Rumbled through most of the campaigns doing that but could barely manage to get through one or two stages without it. Not even because of difficulty or anything, was just the design kinda' grinding away at me, for reasons I can't quite recall.

I never tried any of the disciples games so I have no idea what those are like. Though I didn't really have the sort of issues you mentioned with HoMM3, if anything and I had to try and put it into words I guess... I'd say it always felt like I should be doing more on a given turn? It just felt like the individual options turn to turn were very limited and it kept making me feel like I was missing something. Maybe I was? If I wasn't then I guess that was it.

If you haven't played HoMM 3 before, then there's indeed a very high chance that you've missed the main time-wasting gameplay mechanic. Namely, chaining - you can form a chain of heroes and, through clever positioning and strategic rapid exchange of troops between them, radically multiply your exploration and breakthrough speed.

It was so prominent that it was explicitly removed in HoMM 4 as being counter-intuitive and unrealistic, and re-added in the following games because nostalgia, I guess.

Disciples always felt to me like a more western ogre battle that lets you actualy control what your units do in battle. Good games overall, but the lack of feeling of progresson killed it for me. I mean, I get it, I can't take the team of cheesed leveled up creatures I put together in the last mission, but c'mom, I can't even take a single one of them? At all? Even age of wonders allowed me to pay to take some experienced high level units and heroes to new missions with me, and HoMM let me take my leveled heroes through campaign missions (IIRC).

"The penalty for possessing an article of disguise is up to two years' imprisonment" What.

I mean, even knowing that maximums really don't have that much to do with anything, that that is even a crime is kinda weird. :v

Great, here's some people I can actualy punch on the street and then claim self defence :v

Cometh, clownies.

No freedom is too great to give up to put an end to the Honkening.

At bus station, talking to probably homeless man because I'm waiting for the bus.
Had one of the best conversations about postmodernism that I've ever had.

If I see that hobo again, I'm going to have a lot of prying questions.
