| Topic | I hate Age of Empires, and am fully willing to admit it's a skill issue. |
| CyborgSage00x0 05/14/25 3:46:55 PM #15 | Which Age are you talking about? There are 4 of them, and play quite different in aspects like queueing (AoEIII is unique in that all civs can train units in batches of 5). But for most of the series, units can be queued up, but train 1 at a time, although various techs and civs can modify that. Anyways, I love the AoE series. I grew up with it, and I credit it for spawning my lifelong love of history and anthropology. agesboy posted... it's extremely macro oriented, even among RTS games. definitely sorta hard to get into, but it's not as reflexes-based as starcraft or the othersIndeed, which, among other reasons, is why I always liked it than other RTS games. After all, the "S" being strategy always felt like an after thought in games like Starcraft, where who has the fastest micro-input tends to determine who wins, which really feels to miss the point. A game where you can build fortifications, make it through all the ages and upgrades, and be decided by better macro tactics always made more sense to me in terms of how RTS games SHOULD play. See also stuff like Sins of a Solar Empire, but that's a whole different beast. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

| CyborgSage00x0 05/14/25 3:36:00 PM #27 | If she ceased to exist tomorrow it wouldn't do much to impact my life at all. If she retroactively ceased to exist as if she'd never existed I wouldn't lose anything of value from my past experiences. I don't hate her, she just is. Basically this. Her music is meant for teen girls, so she just offers nothing for me. Might as well as my opinion on Paw Patrol or something. She is an absurd polluter with her crazy amount of private jet travel, so I personally don't like her for that. But don't care enough otherwise.

Not for any grand reason, I'm just busy, still have 1-2 games to finish on my Switch, and an assload to play on Steam. And while the new MK and DK look quite fun, there's no Day 1 games I feel like I absolutely need.

Beveren_Rabbit posted... a lot of American highschool movies portray "a big party" as a common milestone growing up. how many of you have actually attended a big party with no adult supervision when you were in highschool?Not the type where there's somehow 100 people stuffed inside a average house, but one or 2 general HS parties, aka, no adults and alcohol. They called them bonfire parties where I was from, which means some person who has ranch property or whatever, a giant bonfire is going, and booze. But I did HS in the most liquored up US state, so.... Salrite posted... Which I also disagree with. To me, a generation should be a single decade.The "generation" thing is pretty arbitrary and only came out *because* of the Baby Boomer age, with everything since trying to retrofit or keep up the idea of generations. I could settle on 10, but I'd personally go for like 5-7 years. This is because even with 10 year, the people at the heads and tail end of 10 years likely have very little pop culture, world events, etc. that they can use to relate to another. a gap of 5-7 years definitely brings it closer. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

Decided to ditch a traditional wallet, and have liked it a lot. The Card button works perfectly still.

| CyborgSage00x0 04/28/25 10:11:20 PM #22 | ParanoidObsessive posted... Pulp Fiction was really the film that moved him up from someone that only film nerds (ie, people like Tarantino himself at the time) would talk about with each other to being someone that everyone knew.Yeah, which is why RD gets skipped over or forgotten a lot. That said, it has all the hallmarks that would become his style: "Tarrantino'ing" (he didn't invent non-linear storytelling in film, but whatever), casual but graphic violence, and emphasis on dialogue-driven scenes, especially where the characters talk about the seemingly mundane, etc. ParanoidObsessive posted... It's hard to see anything even remotely "avant-garde" to his work apart from Killing Zoe and Rules of Attraction.Tbf, I'd say this is more because he became an overnight sensation after Pulp Fiction, and thus the budgets studios were willing to give him exploded, vs the shoe-string budgets of RD and PF, which force a more avante-garde style by nature. Jackie Brown was next, and that only cost a bit more than PF to make, but it was also a film that didn't really need a big budget to make. IIRC, PF was like $8M, and JB was like $12M. Compare that to Kill Bill V. 1 and 2 that came next, which had a combined whopping $60M in budget. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

| Topic | Been on a Tarantino binge, Django Unchained and Inglourious Basterds are 10/10 |
| CyborgSage00x0 04/28/25 7:25:27 PM #18 | I feel like you more or less watched his best already, but everyone has their own flavor of Tarantino movie. His first directorial debut, Reservoir Dogs, put him and his style on the map. It's definitely more rough and raw than his others, but not in a bad way. Full of great moments, intensity, and trademark quotes. I always find RD hard to rate exactly. Jackie Brown is my least favorite of his, but by no means bad. Just could never get into it as much as his others. Next in order that you haven't seen is Death Proof, which most people usually rank last, but is criminally underrated IMO. It's a giant love letter to films like Vanishing Point and stunt players, with Kurt Russell playing a great villain. This movie was credited for revitalizing his career. Fantastic stunt car chase scene for the last half of the movie. The Hateful Eight is definitely a different beast. One of the more "grounded" of his works, and it films like a stage play, because it essentially is. It's a much slower burn and has mystery elements. I actually need to rewatch this, I was a little underwhelmed when I saw it, and I've only seen it once. Once Upon A Time In Hollywood is also a little slower and plodding compared to his others, but is just a fantastic and fun journey of the final days of the Hollywood Studio system, set during the hippie movement of the time. And yes, The Good, the Bad, and The Ugly is a masterpiece absolutely worth viewing. Amazing cinematography that would be copied and inspire film making forever more, endlessly memorable quotes and scenes, and just peak Westerness. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

| Topic | One day there will be millennial teachers! |
| CyborgSage00x0 04/23/25 12:47:20 PM #28 | ParanoidObsessive posted... Though the real problem is that there really isn't an official organization that sets the standard switching point between generations, so the lines are usually pretty blurry, because different people will pick different cutoff points.Yep. The entire concept of classifying "gens" more or less was born from the Baby Boomers, and everything since has been trying to retro-classify generations, and keep up the trend. The irony being, the Baby Boomer gen has the longest span, something like 18 years or so, while all other gens tend to be in a much shorter period. Then of course, the idea of "gens" itself is a little whack. Personally, I think it only really works in ranges of 5 years, maybe up to 8. The current system tends to make it so that the "elder" and "youngest" of a given range really have very little in common in terms of shared experience, ideology, technology, etc. Technology especially increasingly plays a big role in how generations define themselves, and with how fast and expansive technology grows, it doesn't make sense to relate groups of people in the same gen of 10 or more years apart. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

ConfusedTorchic posted... i press that button for a screenshot, hold it for video. i don't see any menus for it, least of which is a menu saying i can't use it unless i pay to unlock it.Because again, you aren't using it for the paid subscription part. This is the same thing as the Switch 2, except they turned it into 2 separate buttons, rather than a consolidation. ConfusedTorchic posted... no, he really is. arguing in favor of a literal useless button that requires a paid subscription to use is pretty much the definition of bootlicking.But it isn't "useless", unless you never will pay for the subscription stuff. But many people will, and now they have a fast-access way to access it. This isn't a serious gripe to have, you look very silly. ConfusedTorchic posted... when the playstation 6 and xbox whatever has subscription buttons and everyone is bemoaning them for it i am absolutely going to parade around with i told you soAgain, the PS5 literally has this button. You just don't use the subscription menu part of it. ReturnOfFa posted... Everyone demanded a more powerful Switch for years, and now that it's announced at a price point UNDER current comparable tech, everyone's bitching.At least on forums, the price of the console seems to not really spooking anyone, aside from the initial "Nintendo actually has an 'expensive' console for once." For randos and normies that make up the bulk of the consumer base, seeing a Nintendo system this expensive might cause some shock, but this is still a low-mid price of a console. The game prices are more of an eyebrow raiser, and rightfully so. Moving into the $69.99 realm is still a lot to absorb, but a handful being $79.99 is definitely new territory. And while relative prices of games and consoles have gotten cheaper (as explained), the average person isn't going to appreciate that a $79.99 game today is still a bargain for what we used to pay. They are just going to see the $79.99 part. And really, this would probably still be less bad if it wasn't for the...."unique" situation the US finds itself is, with prices skyrocketing and and economic downturn caused solely because the dumbest human you can name occupies the White House. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

With some rare exceptions with really expensive prices.This isn't even true, it was pretty common for Nintendo titles and other top games on the N64 to be $69.99, which is a staggering $145 today. Video games are actually an oddity in that they have gotten cheaper over the years, not only in real dollars, but relative PP terms. While adjl points out various reasons why, it's pretty surprising video games and game in general have stayed low in cost for so long. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

It's not like a button was sacrificed at the expense of this new button. This is basically the same thing as the PS5 "create" button. Whereas the PS5 button opens a menu for streams and stuff you can only do with a PSO subscription AND non-subscription stuff like screenshots, the Joy Cons have separate buttons for screenshots and recording (Left con) and subscription required stuff (Right Con new C button). Like seriously, you're making big deal of nothing. If anything, it's faster than the PS5 create button, since you don't need to enter a menu of subscription stuff to do non-subscription stuff; just choose the button for what you want on the Switch 2 controllers). --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

| Topic | Which button layout do you prefer: Nintendo or Xbox? |
| CyborgSage00x0 04/10/25 1:09:56 PM #23 | Nade_Duck posted... nintendoThis, the best controller ever made. What hasn't been said yet, is not only are the face buttons in a superior position, the fact that they all have different shapes and sizes is extremely underrated in terms of how ergonomically useful this is. Never have I adapted so quickly to a controller than the GCN, and this is precisely because it needs very little time to "study", and allows you to use tactile sense to adapt to the layout. The A (the most used button) is center and the biggest button. B is smaller, protrudes more sharply, and at an angle below A. You need to recall which is X and which is Y, but the X and Y buttons being placed above and off-kilter makes them fairly easy to remember as well. The octagon slits around the joystick also help guide more precise directional input. It's easily the most ergonomic design of face buttons of any controller, and why it's preferred for high-twitch games like Smash Bros. It makes the muscle memory needed very easy compared to other layouts. Nowadays, it'd keep the same face layout, but add modern advancements, like trigger sticks and buttons. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

While past results are not indicative of future performance, most stocks will likely recover eventually.Sure, but why would anyone hold? Who know how long it'll take them to rebound, if ever - plenty of Covid low-point stocks never recovered, for various reasons. And while I was lucky and bought like $50k in the dip for April 2020, it took some until late last year to get back to their pre-Covid norms. We have no idea how long this trade war will go on for, what the lasting damage will be, etc. So there's little to gain by bag-holding ones that were in the black. If anything, sell, and but the dips now. You can even just get the same stocks again, but will have made money doing so. Although personally, I wouldn't recommend buying the dips now.

| Topic | It's so frustrating how Nintendo is handling the Switch 2 |
| CyborgSage00x0 04/08/25 1:19:15 PM #24 | $450 isn't surprising. I was hoping for $399, but expected the range to be between $349 - $449, so that is about right. Just the cost of tech these days, especially in the post-Covid world, Crypto mining driving GPU prices, inflation, etc. The game pricing is a bit more eyebrow raising to me. We just flirted with $70 for ToTK, so to go straight to $80 for MK:World is pretty jarring. The pricing strategy is curious: some of the ports seems to be the standard $60, some upper games like Donkey Kong are $70, and a "tentpole" like MK is $80. So, that may be the pricing tier going forth. Which...I mean, it sucks honestly. I'm at a place where the price jump doesn't bother me (realistically, the extra you'll likely pay over the life of the console is only like $50-$70 more), but it can't be denied the sticker shock will turn people off. It's also just bad luck for Nintendo, since the economic downturn and an almost certain recession at this point means people won't be in a buying mood, anyways. It may not be a Day 1 purchase for me, mostly because I still have a backlog to play anyways. When MP4 comes out, though. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

For example, in an ideal world, wed have UBI and not have to stress about money and such, but that aint gonna happen, so you have to take responsibility for yourself and do something about it.You just said a bunch of vague platitudes that don't actually mean anything, though. It's a sliding scale, of course. If things aren't perfect, it doesn't mean you have to be reduced to a quivering mess, unable to function and live. But you can (and honestly at this point, very much SHOULD) be worried and pissed at the state of the world, primarily the US at this point. Going outside and touching grass doesn't change the fact that all prices are needlessly skyrocketing, laws are being broken, people are losing their jobs, and the overall quality of life is plunging off a cliff, before our eyes, for absolutely no good reason. It's impossible to not be negatively impacted by what's going on right now in the US. It's affecting all aspects of life. And hand-waiving it away as no biggie just because we aren't all serfs to feudal lords or whatever anymore is a pretty dumb way to look at the bad things that are happening *now*. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

It feels more like a 'Deluxe-deluxe' from that trailer. Everything from the last entry, but connected tracks now.Again, what? All the courses are different. The amount of racers at once, likely the items, and virtually everything else is different. It's a brand new game, not a deluxe version of a pre-existing game. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |

| CyborgSage00x0 04/03/25 2:27:55 PM #5 | Honestly, I wouldn't be surprised if Steam Deck starts really cutting into MS/Sony sales in the next year or two. Neither console has enough exclusives to compete with a system that has 90% of their libraries, and more anyways, that is also portable. Nintendo's 1st parties will always keep them as relevant purchase. So basically, PC + Nintendo. Same as it ever was. --- PotD's resident Film Expert. |
