  • This is 100% a scene from a Witcher game.

    • Geralt rushes in to save girl.
    • Girl turns out to be sorceress.
    • Geralt and sorceress kill monster.

    Post fight dialogue options :

    • Insult sorceress (she leaves)
    • Demand payment (acquire magic sword, she leaves)
    • Name drop Triss and / or Yennifer (unlock “Sorceress needs help with random bullshit” quest. Complete quest -> acquire magic sword)
    • Hit on sorceress (acquire magic sword, unlock “Sorceress needs help with random bullshit” quest. Complete quest -> Bang sorceress)

  • My wife has a genetic disorder that (among many other things) causes her spine to herniate at the drop of a hat. She’s had to have emergency surgery multiple times.

    About a year and a half ago, a neurosurgeon was operating on her and came to talk to me and my mom who were waiting. She was extremely excited, in that like “academic who just saw something new” kind of way, because my wife had the third biggest herniation she’d ever seen, and the largest in a patient under 70 (my wife was 34 at the time). She asked if it would be OK if she invited a professor from the local university and a couple of his grad students to come look at it.





  • They could actually make this work.

    • Have a recruitable Volus biotic warrior who you pick up in a nightclub and has romance dialog options.

    • They go hang out in some big room on the ship, like a cargo hold.

    • If you choose the romance options, more Volus just start showing up on your ship with no explanation. Like the next time you go in the cargo hold there’s another one, then two more, then you start seeing them in the mess hall, engineering, medbay…

    • There’s either dialogue options to ask what’s going on (and kick them off the ship) OR there’s more romance dialog options, but you can’t do both!

    • If you keep choosing romance options, they eventually all show up in your room at the same time. It turns out that when Volus take a new partner, their whole extended polycule is allowed to vote on whether or not they approve of the new person being added to your dynamic. There’s a whole scene where you and your new partner have to lobby, bargain and plead for them to include a human. Maybe whether they accept you or not has to do with other choices that you’ve made.






  • VOICEOVER: Captain’s log, star date 571.204. As we are unable to transport through the energy field, Commander Riker, Commander Data and I remain trapped on the strange asteroid, which continues to fall ever faster into the black hole. As we have no way out of our predicament, it seems we have no choice but to attempt to solve the strange murder of the mysterious hotel guest.

    PICARD (knocking on hotel manager’s door): Hello! Is there anyone in there! We demand to speak with the manager at once!

    ANNOYED VOICE: Go away! I’m busy!

    PICARD: Your guests are being murdered! If you are the manager of this place, that must matter to you!

    ANNOYED VOICE: Oh, very well. Come in, if you must.

    PICARD: Q! I should have known you were behind this!

    Q: Inspector Jean Luc. How nice of you to drop by. You have a warrant, I assume?
