Topic | Any of you here still use Wite-Out? |
Philip027 03/19/24 9:00:25 AM #8 | If I were still in school and still somehow regularly wrote stuff in pen, I'm sure I still would. I rarely actually hand-write anything anymore, though; I mostly just sign forms if anything. |
Topic | have you ever had sex with a milf? |
Philip027 03/19/24 8:35:49 AM #5 | The one person I've had sex with is not either of those things. |
Topic | film prof makes reference to the matrix, students don't get it |
Philip027 03/19/24 7:56:39 AM #34 | I really don't think his students supposedly not seeing or otherwise being aware of The Matrix is actually the problem here, and I am curious as to exactly what "reference" it is he's trying to make. I feel like it's the reference, not the film, that is more vague than he realizes. |
Topic | $2 for 6 donuts BUT |
Philip027 03/19/24 4:41:57 AM #5 | If they're still glazed with something (or I'm somehow just in the mood for bread), I don't care. |
Topic | Will you still be posting on Gamefaqs in your 70s? |
Philip027 03/19/24 4:39:59 AM #41 | If we were to take aside the fact I feel like this site will die before I do (or otherwise become insufferable to use in some other way somehow), I don't see why not. I already made it 22 years; what's 32 more? |
Topic | Do you want Tiktok to get banned in the US? >_> |
Philip027 03/16/24 2:18:53 AM #205 | Tiktok is a cesspit that I wouldn't shed any tears about it being gone. It almost certainly had a hand in spawning Youtube Shorts, which is also something that my YT experience would have been better off without (why would I want videos that I can't rewind without going all the way back to the beginning? why are we getting rid of functionality?) |
Topic | Husband shoots and kills wife and gets *only* 10 years in prison. |
Philip027 03/16/24 1:37:30 AM #50 | "I lost both my parents that day. My dad died that day, too, because the person who did that to my mom and my father aren't the same person," Olivia said. Damn |
Topic | Super Mario Maker 1 has only 4 levels left uncleared |
Philip027 03/15/24 7:10:53 PM #34 | Trimming the Herbs is a short enough level and (now) has enough attention piled upon it that I'm sure it will be beaten before the cutoff. |
Topic | I'm surprised Super Paper Mario didn't kill the PM franchise |
Philip027 03/14/24 8:57:54 PM #9 | I mean, it basically did. What we have now is an unrecognizable husk that spasms around occasionally, I guess. |
Topic | Would you immediately drop da current video game you're playing for GTA 6? |
Philip027 03/14/24 8:55:30 PM #5 | No, GTA doesn't interest me. |

Topic | Ffx celestial weapons challenges are wild |
Philip027 03/13/24 9:55:42 AM #16 | radical_rhino posted... Whats the point of torturing yourself to get these? Can you not beat the monster arena bosses without them? Penance? You can make weapons that have similar (or even better) mods, but celestial weapons all have a hidden property of ignoring the target's defense, something no other weapons can inherently do and is helpful when trying to hit for 99,999 (which Break Damage Limit lets you do and is inherent on all celestial weapons as well). Of course, if what you're using the character for doesn't involve using their weapon to physically attack, that hidden property may not actually be useful. |
Topic | Ffx celestial weapons challenges are wild |
Philip027 03/13/24 9:04:50 AM #10 | Blitzball is one of those things that starts out very rough (the storyline required match, that you luckily don't have to win, demonstrates this readily to most players) but gets easier and easier the more you do it, assuming you know how to work its XP system. I don't remember all the fine details behind it, but I do remember that you want to pass the ball as much as possible. Even if it's to the point where you're not scoring and not winning the matches, every pass you do is XP for your fielders. Just hot potato the ball inbetween whoever doesn't have opponents immediately near them, potentially pausing only to lure opponents away from other fielders. Nap skills, if you have them, can help with keeping the opposition off of you. As long as the opponent isn't interfering with your pass, it will usually succeed, unless their PA is low and the pass is of particularly long distance. All the passing you're doing will get you XP (using pass skills if you have them, even if they aren't necessary, also gives more XP), and all the time spent by the opponent not being in control of the ball will mean they don't get as much XP. Gradually you will level past them and you'll gain an edge. The goalie can't get in on this action unfortunately, so make sure to shuffle the positions around so that they don't lag behind. |
Topic | Proper interrobang etiquette |
Philip027 03/13/24 4:44:29 AM #5 | IMO what goes first depends on whether it's more exclamatory or interrogatory, so I have used it both ways. Of course, the most professional among us would write it as a single character (basically a ? and a ! melded into one). ed: as the post above did. |
Topic | You ever not say something even tho you know for a fact you're 100% correct? |
Philip027 03/13/24 1:10:59 AM #32 | Yes, of course. It's called choosing your battles. It doesn't really matter how correct you are if you know the other person isn't receptive, and plenty of people will never be receptive. |
Topic | Should I play Soul Silver or Crystal? |
Philip027 03/12/24 4:54:05 PM #5 | the_real_Naruto posted... its the eshop one. You can get Celebi in the e-shop version? Yep. They coded in the GS Ball event to occur after becoming champion (by going to the Goldenrod Pokemon Center), which ends up with a Celebi encounter. It's only for the eshop versions of Crystal specifically; Gold/Silver won't get it. The Celebi is also not shiny locked, if you care about such things. You're going full original odds for it though, meaning 1:8192. I went for mine recently and got it; I didn't count my attempts but I don't think it took me much more than around a thousand, so I lucked out. |
Topic | Should I play Soul Silver or Crystal? |
Philip027 03/12/24 4:37:40 PM #2 | If you actually want to keep your shit after your playthrough is done (or get Celebi, if it's the eshop version), then Crystal. Otherwise, HGSS will probably be a better overall experience. They're both technically "dated" though. |
Topic | Kid: ''This Banjo-Kazooie game is super-fun, but I gotta quit for the night.'' |
Philip027 03/12/24 9:33:16 AM #2 | I feel like most kids nowadays would expect autosave, so it probably wouldn't get nearly as many players as it used to. |
Topic | $110,000 but you can never pet a dog again |
Philip027 03/11/24 4:42:30 PM #23 | Fine with me, I am already wary of dogs. |
Topic | Miriam Margolyes says adult Harry Potter fans need to grow up |
Philip027 03/11/24 3:01:13 AM #148 | They get stuck in it, Margolyes explained. I do Cameos, and people say, Were having a Harry Potter-themed wedding, and I think, Gosh, whats their first night of fun going to be? I cant even think about it. No. I feel like compulsively thinking/obsessing over the private lives of newlyweds might be a sign you need to grow up. |
Topic | $1 million, but you must give up the internet permanently. |
Philip027 03/11/24 2:40:01 AM #30 | Not a chance. |
Topic | Do you want the u.s. to get rid of clock changes in the spring and fall? |
Philip027 03/10/24 7:17:44 AM #7 | Yes. The shifting clock is stupid, and a relic of the past. Just pick one side and stick to it. |
Topic | You guys who have been married , did most of you use a wedding planner? |
Philip027 03/10/24 5:45:44 AM #19 | GranTurismo posted... marriage rates might really bed down mostly over most of u.s. , unsure. Well, I got married in Quebec, so I guess I technically contributed to that. |
Topic | You guys who have been married , did most of you use a wedding planner? |
Philip027 03/10/24 12:06:45 AM #15 | No. We got married at the notary's office; it was about as bare bones as possible (which is not only what we wanted, it was all we'd be able to afford) The whole process took no more than 15 minutes and mostly amounted to saying "yes" to questions and signing some papers. |
Topic | With the impending 'dynamic' pricing, are you forsaking Wendy's? |
Philip027 03/08/24 7:54:07 AM #8 | No. If it actually affects prices to the point I notice it, I'll just find when stuff is cheaper and order then. It's already something that impacts some of my delivery services; certain hours of the day incur less of a fee. I don't see this sort of thing as significantly different. |
Topic | Did any of you here actually like any of those novels you were probably forced |
Philip027 03/07/24 8:18:16 AM #107 | Nope. Thought most of them were garbage. There may have been a small handful of good ones, but they were overshadowed by the stinkers to the point I don't remember what they were anymore. |

Topic | When you were in school, who fed you breakfast? |
Philip027 03/06/24 5:16:53 AM #28 | I usually made myself cereal before going to school. |
Topic | There's a reason we celebrate Birthdays and not "Fertilized Egg" Days |
Philip027 03/06/24 5:00:12 AM #91 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] I'm not trying to "delegitimize" anything. I'm not even arguing for or against any stance here. You have no idea what my position is. I'm just saying that IF this was supposed to be an argument for abortion (again, I'm only suspecting it might be because I don't understand what other sort of context it's supposed to fall in), it's a bad one to make, and many better ones exist. If that fact would upset you, too fucking bad. i'm not arguing pointless semantics. You absolutely are, but keep at it; I'm just sitting over here thinking it's hilarious. |
Topic | $1 million, but you can't deed,look at porn |
Philip027 03/06/24 4:48:33 AM #18 | I already don't do the first two of those things, don't care whatsoever for the third, and I'm pretty sure my spouse would give up sex for that amount of money. |
Topic | Cutie pie gamer gal on 2nd date: Fallout 4 is PEAK Fallout hehe |
Philip027 03/06/24 4:45:36 AM #22 | Fine with me; I also liked the game and didn't care much for its predecessors. |
Topic | Sony Issues Refunds for "Suicide Squad" Amid Discontent |
Philip027 03/06/24 4:44:08 AM #31 | ChrisTaka posted... Yeah but Cyberpunk was super buggy whereas this is because people just don't like the game lmao I'm sure there's been numerous other games that turned out to be nearly universally disliked that Sony didn't bother doing refunds for. |
Topic | PSA: Do not 100% video games you do not love |
Philip027 03/06/24 1:35:46 AM #34 | PowerOats posted... Lots of complaints about too many mini games and rewards locked behind them. From the sound of nothing is FFX tier in mini games, and Remake/ Rebirth is designed to not have anything permanently missable I don't think 10 was even that bad with regard to minigames. I don't remember struggling with any of them. 9, on the other hand... At least 9's were mostly ignorable, not being tied in to anyone's best weaponry, just with getting a few "trophy" key items that didn't even do anything. |

Topic | Luck stat |
Philip027 03/05/24 8:38:40 PM #21 | Turducken posted... I mean really depending on the game even Strength and Endurance won't get the full scoop. Sure, Strength lets you hit harder in melee--does it also increase your carrying capacity? Does it increase damage for thrown weapons? For bow and arrow weapons? Does it increase your grip duration? Your climbing speed? Not the full scope, sure, but it is not at all unreasonable to expect that Strength will affect your melee damage and Endurance to affect your HP/survivability (they may affect other things, but these are the most consistent things to expect), and in most cases you will be correct on at least those things. No other stat that I've come across has that level of consistency. |
Topic | $1 million but your entire internet history is available to everyone to see |
Philip027 03/05/24 8:34:15 PM #17 | I don't care. Have fun sifting through a bunch of YouTube, Pokmon, gaming, and asexuality related crap. |
Topic | There's a reason we celebrate Birthdays and not "Fertilized Egg" Days |
Philip027 03/05/24 8:31:05 PM #48 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Whatever, you still knew what I meant. if you "don't involve yourself in politics", then maybe since this is a discussion of a political topic, you should shut the fuck up and fuck off. I have no clue what your issue is, but I'm not going anywhere. Deal with it. |
Topic | There's a reason we celebrate Birthdays and not "Fertilized Egg" Days |
Philip027 03/05/24 7:42:14 PM #41 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] How is it not a thing? Pro-abortion and pro-life are two very commonly recognized "political" stances. I don't involve myself in politics and even I know this. |
Topic | Luck stat |
Philip027 03/05/24 5:57:16 PM #17 | Strength and Endurance (NOT Vitality) are pretty much the only consistent stats in terms of being able to expect what they usually do, in my experience. Every other statistic varies depending on the game/genre. For instance, in most games I've played with an Agility stat, it doesn't affect chance to be hit at all. It usually affects turn order, or dictates a resource allotment (AP in Fallout, etc) Luck doesn't really deserve singling out here. |
Topic | There's a reason we celebrate Birthdays and not "Fertilized Egg" Days |
Philip027 03/05/24 5:18:57 PM #22 | Zero_Destroyer posted... what does this have to do with anything lol I'm trying to understand what the point of the topic statement is. The only context in which I could see anyone seriously trying to use it as some sort of argument against something would be a pro-abortionist trying to claim that we only celebrate birthdays specifically because life doesn't count/begin prior to that point. The thing is, that actually has nothing to do with why we celebrate birthdays instead of conception days. We do that because we can easily tell when someone's birthday is, whereas loads of people have no idea exactly when they conceived their kid. Some people can (somehow) go for months without even realizing they're pregnant. Therefore, if that's the argument being made, it's kind of a bad one. |
Topic | $75,000 or free food for life? |
Philip027 03/05/24 5:13:31 PM #66 | Food. Even if you usually eat cheaply enough to the point the $75k seems tempting, you can easily up your food game and go for fancier/healthier stuff that would normally be a lot more expensive, and that will easily add up to way more than $75k in just the span of a few years. Someone really going gung-ho on this offer would probably break $75k in savings even before one year. It's still going to result in far easier day-to-day living, simply because you can take food out of your (personal) budget. |
Topic | There's a reason we celebrate Birthdays and not "Fertilized Egg" Days |
Philip027 03/05/24 4:54:56 PM #14 | Yes. It's because the birthday can be easily tracked and recorded. The same cannot always be said for when one is conceived. Is this some sort of "argument" the pro-abortion crowd actually makes or something? |
Topic | $70,000,000 but all women now look like aging Internet celebrity Yahtzee Croshaw |
Philip027 03/05/24 7:59:48 AM #12 | Sure. I don't care what anyone looks like. |
Topic | Were you taught to put one space or two spaces after a period? |
Philip027 03/04/24 6:04:35 PM #16 | Two, and I'm annoyed every time I type something into an online form/post and it automatically formats my double space into a single one. |

Topic | Do you believe in a god/gods/other spiritual beings? |
Philip027 03/04/24 7:19:14 AM #131 | Dark_Arbron posted... Science and atheism doesn't believe that either. That depends on who you ask, I've found. |
Topic | Do you believe people are better people in real life than online? |
Philip027 03/04/24 6:52:44 AM #25 | No. People are just less compelled to openly be shit heads irl because there's a greater chance of consequences. (I voted #2.) |
Topic | Do you believe in a god/gods/other spiritual beings? |
Philip027 03/04/24 6:50:35 AM #126 | Yes, but not any particular one(s). I have a hard time believing that all that is, or at least all that I/we perceive to be, just came out of literally nowhere. |
