Funny, I'm pretty sure just about anyone else would give their left nut for something that removes or dampens all their dark and painful emotions leaving only happiness and joy, which is legal and has no major side-effects
At least I would
The effect it has on my perception IS a side effect. (There are other side-effects too, all of which get worse over time) I’m taking the stuff to try and manage my pain while I work on strengthening an injured area of my body. I don’t like that it puts a rainbow colored bag over my head and then asks me to play pin the tail on the donkey at the same time.
An example: I found something out today that, normally, that would make me feel like I just got sucker punched by a guy using a chainsaw as a pair of brass knuckles, but I don’t FEEL anything. Intellectually, I know what is going on, but there is a disconnect. I just feel numb.
Worse still, using the pain killers seems to have reset my onboard pain tolerance. I skipped a dose this afternoon just to try and see where my recovery is at. Either this most recent re-injury is worse than anything I’ve had to deal with in the last four years, or I’ve totally lost the resistance I had built up to the level of background pain that is, unfortunately, normal for me. I made the mistake of attempting a therapy session without the chemical buffer. Lets just say it didn’t go so well, which unfortunately means I’m still a ways off from being able to just flush the rest of the prescription and get back to relative normalcy.
RM2k3 Battle System?
You could create empty animation sets to use for your characters that would give the appearance of them being off screen.
If your game doesn't require the few specific functions that 2k3 doesn't have in common with its precursor, you might want to try working in Rm2k, if you're trying to get back to a front view battle aesthetic, that is.

I Woudln't Mind Some Thoughts On My Magic System
My eyes only rolled once while I read it, so that is a good sign. I like the throwback to Vancian Magic, via the way High Arcana spells erase themselves from the caster's mind.
The way you fold alchemy in seems to work well. It reminds me of a series of books, which I can't call the name of up from the aether right now, where Technology is considered a rare/banned form of magic. I was fairly young when I first read them, but I remember it sort of "blowing my mind" that the young kid in the story stacking furniture up to reach a toy (or whatever it was he was after) was as magical in the story's world as spells of flight and causing robes to change color.

I'm not sure I can bring both of you on board since you both mentioned you're pretty harsh and as I don't want the beta feedback to be biased towards "unduly harsh"/"raking things over the coals".
Understood. I'll bow out of this round then, since I kind of have a full helping on my plate right now with my Secret Santa review.

It just seems like there is always a sense of smug superiority to your games/posts, and I think that more than anything else is what gets things rolling as far as "attacks" go. Sometimes people don't get a joke when it is meant as such, especially in print.
Then again, this could just be my specific set of skewed perceptions, currently filtered through a wall of prescription pain killers.
I've tried certain games of yours out of curiosity in the past, and while I don't think some of them deserved as much flak as they caught, they usually weren't my flagon of Earl Grey, but there's no real point to dusting off the riding crop when the mount in question has already worked its way through the glue factory.
I've wanted to include crafting in a couple of my projects, but I usually get bogged down trying to make everything as realistic as possible, without really balancing said realism against that elusive property known as "fun."
All in all, I'm looking forward to giving this a try when it gets released. I would offer to beta, although I would have to caution you that I've really been raking everything I play over the coals lately, indie and commercial alike.

Yes, I do in fact suffer from a horrible, incurable, debilitating and quite-probably eventually fatal disease that has been ruining my quality-of-life since age 13.
Join the queue. Crohn's is certainly no picnic.
As for the actual game in question, I try never to judge things too early. It doesn't look like something I would be particularly interested in playing, but I've been trying to make an effort to expand my tastes lately, or at the very least give more games from this community a chance. As such, I can see myself giving this a try upon release.
As someone who has never played Dwarf Fortress, Minecraft, or as of this writing at least, Skyrim, the "best" gaming experience I've had with a crafting system was in Arcanum. There it was clearly an enrichment of the gaming experience though, and not the primary focus.
I think calling something "greatest game ever" might not be the best way to get fair and balanced feedback about it.

It's not focused, it runs on, awful spacing, and the point is buried beneath heaps of garbage.
I strongly suggest you avoid reading Joyce's Ulysses, or anything by William S. Burroughs! =)
It was a stream of consciousness rant from a character in a "novel" I was working on at the time. The main character was hitching cross country, and he kept getting these insane lectures from the people who picked him up.
And no, your picture wasn't relevant to the point. It was about the right to free speech ending when people don't like what gets said, the lack of privacy in the (then) fledgling Patriot Act age, and the idea that what the country was supposed to be was getting lost in order to protect what was left of it.
Also, I went back on my initial stance and reported the damn video just to make up for the topic derail I am apparently guilty of. +1 for the Craze Nation.
What are you thinking about? (game development edition)

I had the idea about the handicaps and disease when I watched that silly movie Crank :P
Crank was actually the first thing I thought of when I read your earlier post!
My contribution contains "spoilers" for Arkham City so...
I wish they would have expanded on the concept of Batman suffering ill effects from the Joker's infected blood. It doesn't extend beyond the cutscenes, and one or two brief areas where you are forced to walk slowly because you're at death's door. The gimmick with the Demon Blood/Lazarus pit ritual put Batman back in ace physical condition, but I think the game would have been much more interesting if it hadn't.
I would have loved to have to adapt my play style to Batman's condition. Instead of going for an insanely high combo number, I would have had to dispatch enemies as quickly (and brutally) as possible to conserve as much of my fading strength as possible. Granted, it would have royally screwed with the "sandbox" gimmick, but I think it would have made the endgame much more memorable.
I loved the section in Dark Knight Returns where Batman realized he had been trying to fight the Mutant Leader like a young man, and had to change up his tactics to survive.

You know, when I suffered my tangent syndrome a page or so back, I didn't really think it would continue through the rest of the thread. Since it has though, I dug up something I wrote almost a decade ago.
As for this...
They could certainly legalize your right to try, pal. This actually reminds me of something from a high school government lecture, "The right to swing your fist ends where the other person's nose begins."
EDIT - Had to fix a typo... otherwise a certain amendment would confer the right to wear sleeveless shirts...
Ambassador of America :
Welcome to the latter day promised land, but first I must inform you we have had to take a few of our promises back. The right to speech became a dated concept when we ceased liking what was being said. The right to speak is not the right to be heard, not necessarily. Say what you want to say, yes you still have that right, but only in the privacy of your single occupancy sensory deprivation tank. Next, the right to bear arms. Some will argue logistics, that it is worded to afford this right to only an organized state militia. Well, normal people aren't smart enough to have guns. They pull a schizophrenic act off and liquidate an entire department. Only had to reload four times...a classic case of an accidental shooting. The shooting is not the accident. The shooter is. A basic lack of respect for your firearms is at the core of the issue. There are certain individuals who have digressed from ventilating personnel they deem unnecessary, solely for the sake of their firearms. In this nation, this glorious nation where privacy is a word long forgotten and slowly being faded off the dictionary page, these individuals know that to make the shots they want, they will eventually have to sacrifice both self and firearm. I liked my guns to much too use them so carelessly. Back to privacy, we have to get this out quickly before it fades from the memory page. They will tell you that so called safety is worth the sacrifice of privacy. 'You there, you cant lock your doors and must wear transparent clothes..to our x-ray machines of course, we cant have people thinking we're a nation of perverts and perpetrators...but it's all for the sake of your safety.' Safety from whom? Yourself. No, do not consume illegal substances...there is absolutely no benefit from those needed by a decent citizen (the words sound dirty when mated like that 'Decent Citizen' who defines decent?) and do not possess illegal items. And so forth...do not send any subversive e-mail. Do not peer dubiously into you neighbor's bedroom, unless you suspect them of deviant behavior at which point you should call your local authority of choice. Report on all who seem to be outside of ordinary, however supply supporting, qualified, opinions to prevent people from labeling you a sexist, racist, orientationist...and so forth. We must be above such words to coalesce into a unified nation. Welcome to America...wait, where did everyone go?

stop whining, legalize my right to punch you all in the face.

It almost seems like my pain killers are more of a mood leveler than anything else at this point. Things like joy/happiness can still get through, but disappointment, sadness, and anger seem to be among the things that get caught, or slowed, at the very least, by the chemical filter. I'm tired of people telling me that I seem to be in much better moods/easier to get along with lately, and then asking if I'm seeing someone new.
I've upped my physical therapy again, trying to really push myself so I can be done with this and get back to normal as soon as possible. It is strange for me to be on this stuff again, because it is almost like I am two distinctly different people. One is the person I usually am, and the other is the person I am when I'm heavily medicated. I'm getting a flood of memories from the other times this happened. I went through most of junior and senior year of highschool under the influence of opiate painkillers, and I keep wondering what life would have been like without the chemically induced emotional firewall. My memory is normally sharp, but right now sections of it seem honed to a razor's edge. It is like having the presence of an opiate in my system again is lighting a fire under a bunch of cells that somehow (impossibly) haven't been recycled in the interim. Right now, I'm still in the transitional phase though, so I'm aware of both sides of the coin. I can almost see it spinning on a tabletop, slowing down, teetering... ready to fall.
I hate this.
