I okay a lot of blasters. If I defend myself, how do you expect me to faceplant?:-)

Ain’t that the truth. Why just the other day I was chatting with a friend about why Banner-Hulk has to be less powerful than Big-Dumb Hulk when…wait, was I talking?

Doh...double post

Not really. What you are going to get is some sort of emulation of emotion. But it will not be real. as for whether it can produce a passable facsimile, that is another question. Which is, perhaps the question you’re referring to here. Because I don’t think you’re trying to say that machines have feelings or understand them.

I’m already to the point where I’m questioning whether new forum posters are real, especially when they ask questions that could be answered with a 2-minute trip to the help section (or, you know, a Google search).

I guess you could do that for an outline. But a machine has no emotional understanding of betrayal, so I’m not sure how convincing its story could be. I guess for people who have zero writing ability, this will be a Godsend. Meanwhile, the people who do can keep creating content for them to steal/emulate.:-/

So, running tests on second arc of UNLOCK, and... Love it when my true self comes out...

Ran it. A few comments:

Font color code is a menu option. You can highlight and select it. There’s additional colors if you know the codes. I think @Darmian knows about that. I would think @Ankylosaur would have some expertise in this, too.

I'll give it a run Friday morning. Probably won't be quite as detailed as I was in other story.:-)

Polo!

As an unusual option: Nemesis. Basically the narration is a rant about the stupid pretenders, red and blue side. And we know Nem actually does have his grubby paws in EVERYTHING.

This. I'd do it like Kurt Busiek did in Astro City's Local Heroes (specifically the story of Pete Donacek, the doorman).

Greets again, all. I'm going back to my older Ordinary People series, tweaking/fixing/slightly altering them to put into play lessons learned from all my abysmal failures (also known as, How Crane goes through life in general). I think a couple of stalwarts have done them. I know our buddy @Zhym has justifiably demurred because the older stories contain just about everything that would annoy any player - namely timers, defeat alls, and niggling text errors. The story, however, is pretty strong. And since OP1-3 feeds into Leviathan which feeds into Mobius, I think it's worth it to bring it up to speed where it's at least a passable intro into what I think is a decent megatale, with a nice wrapup. So, I'll post status updates on that project, as I complete them. For those who've run them before, and care to note the details, I'll post here, as spoilers. Hoping to get all 3 arcs nipped and tucked by mid-July. Also working on the follow-up story, which takes us in a different, but hopefully still interesting direction. In any case, if you are interested in checking out the "new "old stuff, drop me a line. I'm always looking to improve. Have to, if I want to come close to keeping up with the masters.:-) As of now, OP1: Standard Operating Procedure is refitted and ready. At least, I hope it is...:-) Moving on to OP2: Hope and Bullets. This was a bit easier. 3's next. If I recall correctly, lots of color-code and such to clean up.

You're absolutely right. We can just do without towels this week!

And then joust with them.:-)

In a pinch, am I allowed to throw him at the stuff?

This seems a bit involved. And I am folding the wash. Do we have an entry-level version?

Haven't really been excited about Storm or Seismic to be frank, and it's likely due to some of the animations. Don't care for big, swirly clouds, I guess, or the massive boulder thing that pops up on one of the seismic attacks. I suppose those are silly reasons to not get into something, but...well, there it is.

I wanted to make Engineria the next head of the Wards, but she’s got too many responsibilities already.:-)

Hehehehe. I had the idea, but @Darmian did the legwork getting the data. I’ll have to fix the typo though. AFAIK she has the same powers.

I’m not sure what universe the op is living in, but groups that hesitate a lot? When does THIS happen? I’ve seen many more examples of the opposite. Typical taskforces feel like a stampede of rabbits heading for Farmer Jones’s cabbage patch.

FYI: I have removed all timers from Ordinary People 1, and am currently running through it to fine-tune it.

Maybe clue should be "Tunnels?"

I can’t say it was the whole team, since the tank often vacated before we gathered, after the first map mob anyway. Then you’d have some race off to follow because, well, they’re the tank, right? It all started with them. It was just a sloppy job, honestly. You’re dead on about the second point, though. For sure.
