DO I LOOK LIKE I CARE!?

What does weeaboo even mean?

I like that site. Thanks.

That word was only funny in the most contextual sense where it was "created" in the PBF. I find it pretty stupid that it was taken to mean anything more than that, especially things contrary to its original context.

Nonetheless, that site is sorta handy in a geek-culture reference way.

Chao, when I play you at this and beat you, you HAVE to change your gamertag to 'weeaboo', understand?

Same goes for you, Finch. Except yours will be 'weeabootu'

Never! Finchiekins forever!

What the fuck is so sacred about a word from an obscure comic strip that it can't be used in a different context? The dictionary is filled to bursting with everyday words we use now that began as something in a completely different context. Ever said 'okay'? Sure you have. Were you talking about a misspelling of all correct (oll korrect) or the 1840 Presidential Race in which Dem supporters of Martin van Buren called him 'Ole Kinderhook'? No? Well then I find it pretty stupid that you took it to mean anything more than that.

Never! Finchiekins forever!

...Or is it?

I wished I liked Culdcept more.

Too much randomness and monopoly influences for me.

Try Shadows of the Tusk for Saturn. It has the same board game/collectible card game vibe but has no randomness at all. It's more like a cross between Magic the Gathering and chess.

It's funny you say that, because I was saying to my brother the other day I wish there was more randomness. So many of the battles are a predetermined affair mathematically that the only real strategy comes from item bluffing and mind games. With the risk of making things too complicated, I hope in the new version creatures have a range of damage (like, 3d10, 2d6 etc), and more ways to influence the battle numbers (supports, global effects, or whatever...expand on what's already in the game). I suppose die randomness can be sucky, but there's so many cards to influence movement that you might not be making that a priority. Also, don't play on maps without branches...I find luck plays a larger role there.

Gozen's impassioned defense of the word "weeaboo"

That's keeping things in perspective.
