I got a rock.

yourplayersaidwhat:

DM: Inside the chest, you find a rock with string attached to it, a glowing pearl, and a rod with a button on it.

Rogue: I give the rod to the ranger because I don’t want it but I pocket the other two.

DM: Do you wanna see if you can identify them?

Rogue: I mean yeah I guess.

DM: Alright roll Arcana for me.

Rogue: *rolls a nat 20 and a 4*

DM: Alright, you get to identify one of the two, the rock or the pearl, so which one-

Rogue: THE ROCK.

DM: WHAT

Paladin: Oh my GOD

DM: ALRIGHT YOU IDENTIFY THE ROCK WITH STRING ON IT

DM: IT’S A ROCK

DM: WITH STRING ON IT

DM: CONGRATULATIONS

Rogue: Wait WHAT? IS IT SERIOUSLY JUST A ROCK WITH A STRING!?

DM: IT IS A ROCK WITH A STRING CONGRATU-FUCKING-LATIONS

Paladin: I’m so mad right now

game devs could literally not use any famous actors in they shit and just go for talented veteran voice actors that can usually turn in a better vocal performance anyway and shave off millions from their budget they could use to improve the game and just

cut down the marketing a tiny little bit on the publisher’s part to save some money

so many huge devs and publishers have gone arrogant and are spending money all willy nilly on stupid crap rather than improving their games

As so many people have pointed out, ‘They could always just stop trying for the highest end of graphics and instead go for a set character style, which would save them a shitton of money on development and make for an iconic style to the game. Instead they spend money they don’t need to and then complain about the costs.’

golly gee you know what’s also crazy about that?

stylized games generally hold up far better than “attempted photorealism” games.

One of the best examples regarding the discussion of Art style > Technically better graphics is Wind Waker. 

I mean, fuck. Look at this. This game is 15 years old already and looks so much better than a lot of modern stuff.

The original ps2 version of Okami

I feel like the projected need for hyper expensive photorealistic graphics is one of the biggest detriments of the modern gaming industry. A lot of publishers seem to have become absolutely terrified of anything experimenting with style and art design.

some modern style over graphics by some indie games

I’m running a pre-bought campaign in a sci-fi setting

Totally not-shady NPC: I’ll need you to retrieve my secret cargo from the abandoned spaceship, but it’s very private, so don’t look inside–

Player: Is it a girl in a box?

NPC: …What?

Player: This is a sci-fi story, and there’s a box you don’t want us to look into. There’s only ever one way that ends, and it’s always with a girl stuffed into a box.

Other Player: Hey, we don’t even know how big it is. It could just be a cigar box.

First Player: Okay, you’re right. It could be a bunch of sex toys. How big is the box?

NPC: It’s… uh… six feet long by three feet wide by three feet deep…

First Player: Ugh. Okay, fine. Somebody pack a crowbar and a spare set of women’s clothing. We need to go get this girl out of her box.

uhhhhhhh…….

One day I’m going to run a sci-fi campaign of some kind and there will inevitably be a girl-sized box that the players are not allowed to open

And when they open it instead of a girl there will be 12 possums that immediately escape and create possum-related mischief until they can be put back in the box.

Number the possums 2-13, no one’s going to be counting when a bunch of possums bust out of a box.
