NIGHTOWL'S PROFILE

Sooo, I decided that I'd leave RMN. Permanently. Without leaving a saucer of grinded mice on the doorstep as a farewell gift.

The reason being that I haven't been making games since like 2009ish when I got a decent computer that could actually run games. Like, the ones you'd find on Steam. The one I had before could hardly run anything with 3D graphics, except maybe Doom.

The day I realized I could play decent games on my computer instead of shitty RM2K games with broken English I just slowly stopped caring about mak gam and preferred to play Fallout and Team Fortress 2 instead. For some reason though, it took me years to realize this and during this period I made many cringeworthy shitposts that still make me scream internally (Although, like, any post I've ever made on a forum before 2014 makes me want to rip my eyes out of their sockets)

Sooo, yeah, I'm leaving because I don't know why am I staying here if I don't even mak gam. I'm changing my password to some random gibberish in case I come back and forget that I was supposed to be gone.

Byyyyeeeeee.

CURRENT GM: Gourd Clae

This is a text forum RPG based off Facepunch Island.
Players wake up in their place of choice in the island and do stuff by inputting commands like "Nightowl: Scavenge for junk."

The rules are simple:
1. No randomly pulling shit into existence. That means, no instant legendary swords. The game master decides what sort of loot you find.
2. I choose the game master.
3. NO GODMODE. Not really even possible with GMs and such.

CURRENT PLAYERS:
LockeZ
Trihan (Reginald T Chinchillington XVII) - Currently in Limbo
Solarlune
wildwes
Dudesoft - Currently never a soft dude
seirorem
Nightowl

In nutshell, post any useless superpowers here.
Kinda like the Heart power from Captain Planet.

Here's mine:
The ability to instantly describe anything in a nutshell, as long it's a nut.

Now, I know RPGs aren't really realistic and logical, after all, how can Link carry all the shit he picks up?

Anyway, today I realized that most of the dungeons in RPGs seem to be weird, empty hallways or mazes that really make no sense. Some are caves filled with traps. Some are skyscrapers that have weird puzzles installed in the higher levels.

I started questioning one thing in particular. Why the heck are there caves in middle of nowhere? Okay, that's not actually really out of the place, but why are the caves filled with traps? Who puts them there? Why do they have weird puzzles? Just to annoy the shit out of trespassers?
Also, let's say some bad dude teleports to the highest level of a 3-story grocery store. As you move through the areas where only workers are allowed, there are somehow demons all around the place and there's some weird laser puzzle you need to solve. Where'd the heck that come from? Did the villain install those in a split second?

If you don't know what I'm jabbering here about, I'm just questioning the logic of various RPG dungeons, and how some of them and their contents seem to lack a logical explanation.

Has anyone else been wondering about this?

EDIT: I'm starting to think that there's some Intergalactic Dungeon Decorator Bob who fills every JRPG dungeon with traps, monsters and puzzles instantly, for a fee.

While this thread may be very controversial, like when I said Chrono Trigger was a mediocre game, I'm still going to post a Console Debate thread. At least Kentona only said "SNES" without further opposition.

Civilized debate, but no "FAEGUT SNES IS THE FUCKING FAGOLA CONSOLE, CALCULATOR FTWWWW"
