your argument (if a meme is censored, it must be good), is nonsense.

If a meme is censored, then that means it is effective. Meaning that whomever made it can meme. "Good" is subjective.

American pop music the last 25 years is so bad that historians should study it in the future. And currently, a criminal investigation should probably be opened to find out what the hell is going on.

Nothing like a chud meltdown in the wee hours of the morning

But who's really melting down here? Me, or the people doing all of the censoring and complaining about revealing outfits in games? It's a matter of perspective. Also, was it the chuds who removed political discussions from most of gamefaqs?

PS. I forgot to mention the removal of hornyposting in my last post. I barely care about that, I don't come to gamefaqs for horny, but who did it? Was it the "conservatives" who made that call?

Memes may be incompetent executed and violate gamefaqs ToS.

Why pretend not to know that?

Gamefaqs mods being offended doesn't mean that conservatives can't meme. In fact, it means the opposite, it means that they CAN meme. Not sure what gamefaqs' ToS has to do with anything, anyway. First of all, gamefaqs' ToS is a holdover from CjayC's 90's era "This site is for babies, so the users will be treated like babies" mentality, which makes no sense and is a relic of a bygone era. Considering that gamefaqs is a dying website, it seems odd to aggressively censor everyone, and limit political discussion every time some major event happens in the world.

So things can be discussed here, until something happens in the world, then they can't be discussed anymore, LOLOLOLOL, what kind of a rule is that? It's a rule for babies, that's what it is. Second of all, gamefaqs doesn't have a ToS, anyway. The ToS is "don't offend the sensitive mods or Israel", which isn't a ToS. Gamefaq's ToS is still undefined, and doesn't really exist.

what sex and nudity have liberals censored, specifically?

Joke post? They're known for censoring literally everything they possibly can. And game journalists complained about the design of Eve in Stellar Blade, let's not forget that. One IGN writer said that Eve is an "attack on women". LOL. That one guy on Digital Foundry was upset about her design, and said that attractive women with revealing outfits is "outdated design". LOL.

And western game devs take their cues from people like that, and in turn censor their games. And Sony is known for censoring games lately (not counting Stellar Blade). And let's not forget the removal of those Lara Croft pin-up photos in that recent Tomb Raider remaster, which you personally defended and tried to downplay. How are you going to dance around this one?.

If you're good, you can just wall jump up the red brinstar shaft to PBS, you technically don't need to bomb jump or ice beam, it's just precise

That's true, I think I've wall jumped up that shaft also, but I forgot about that until you mentioned it.

Tears of the Kingdom came out last year.

And yet game prices went up to 70 in 2020, with the launch of the PS5 and Series X/S. What's your point? It's true that Nintendo just started releasing 70 dollar games recently, but that's because of what started in 2020. Get it? Also, it's ironic that Sony mainly spearheaded the 70 dollar game thing in 2020, since Sony was also responsible for making new game prices much cheaper in the mid to late 90's. That's called irony.

And yet liberals are the most pro-censorship, which includes censoring sex and nudity, especially these days. How do you dance around this one?

Maybe it's proof that the future is fixed and a part of our subconscious is aware of it.

How would that work? Magic? And maybe what happened with HudGard was just a coincidence? Or maybe if you search almost any area in Super Metroid, you'll find a secret? How would a dream predict a videogame secret? Aliens?

'pitbull' has become a catchall term for dogs that vaguely resemble each other

And yet pitbulls exist and are a thing. Time to join reality, bub. It's true that they appear to be a collection of mutts that descend from bulldogs and terriers, but they are still a recognizable, similar type of dog.

bfslick50 posted...

Your post seemed shocked that an individual dog didn't behave the same as the aggregated average of all dogs in that breed and stereotype is a good descriptor for that.

Not really. Definition of stereotype: "a widely held but fixed and oversimplified image or idea of a particular type of person or thing." Right, but what I said about dogs based on statistics isn't "oversimplified", and it's "fixed" because the statistics are fixed, and always will be fixed. So the definition of "stereotype" is nonsense, as is your usage of the word. And I wasn't "shocked" by a Husky attacking a baby, I was simply making the factual statement that it is unlikely that a Husky would attack a baby, although it is possible.

bfslick50 posted...

You say German Shepards are the 3rd most dangerous breed but you also said German Shepards are highly unlikely to cause serious harm if punched in the face by a child. Those statements don't agree.

The statement makes sense. German Shepherds are dangerous, but they are also smart. Yes, it is not recommended for a child to punch a German Shepherd, but if one did, it is unlikely the dog would maul the kid. The dog would likely be shocked, upset, confused, etc, and maybe growl, but it would probably not attack the child. Now, if a child REPEATEDLY punched a German Shepherd, well then, all bets are off. But think of it this way: What kind of kid would punch a German Shepherd? Let alone MULTIPLE times. In the event of some disturbed child behaving that way, any repercussions to that kind of goofy behavior should surprise exactly no one. For the record, German Shepherds, while potentially dangerous dogs, and very good pets. They are not statistically known to attack kids almost ever, and they are not known for random attacks on adults either. It's possible, but highly unlikely. That's pitbull territory.

bfslick50 posted...

I've never seen one let 2 breeds have a statistical tie.

You don't really understand statistics, do you?

Not sure, but I know that my "Illusion of Gaia" cart was in my SNES for like 10 years, at one point. It might even still be there now, but probably not.

Not sure what you're thinking of, but it's definitely not the Spring Ball, which is absolutely a powerup/item and isn't involved in any form of early power bomb.

Anyways, none of the above; my earliest memories of Super Metroid are watching my mom play, and she found the spring ball organically, so when I played I knew where it was.

Sorry, I was talking about the "bomb jump", the secret move/glitch that lets you do infinite jumps with the bomb, which allows you to sequence break. One of the first and easiest things you can do with the bomb jump is get the power bomb early (that's the power bomb, not bomb, which you get early on in Crateria regardless). You use the bomb jump instead of using the ice beam which typically allows you to climb the shaft in Brinstar that leads to the power bomb. With the bomb jump, you don't need the ice beam to do that (although you should get the ice beam later, anyway).

Anyway, I confused "spring ball" with the bomb jump because technically that's what you do with the bomb jump, you "spring", as a ball. Oh well. My post still stands, just replace "spring ball" with "bomb jump". And I was kidding about the "real gamer" thing, obviously.

Not using the spring ball in the Brinstar shaft to get the power bombs early is uncivilized. You're not a real gamer unless you get the power bomb early with the spring ball. Sorry.

I've had 100% completion so I have to assume I got it.

It's a secret move, maybe a glitch, not an item, so you can get 100 percent without using it.

DKC3 has some of the best graphics SNES has to offer. It's just everything else about it that's off, they should have went with DK instead of Kiddy.

Pretty accurate post, I forgot to mention Kiddy being one of the dumbest things about DKC3. I understand the whole "new ape character, plus sidekick from previous game is now the main character" thing they did with the trilogy. But it's pretty dumb that a trilogy of games called "Donkey Kong Country" only had Donkey Kong playable in the first game, because reasons.

If it were a pittie those same people

Because of statistics and factual information. You should look into both.

Weird how two people immediately chimed in with the word "stereotype". Very bizarre. I know a lot about dog breeds in general, so I know what I'm talking about. And I'm a proud owner of a German Shepherd (the best dogs, in my opinion, with Golden Retrievers a runner up).

Also, I'm not going by "stereotypes", that's an odd word to use when referring to dogs. I'm going by statistics. You can look up the stats for dog attacks. Pit Bulls attack and kill humans more than any other dog breed, followed by Rottweilers being the second deadliest dog. German Shepherds are the 3rd most dangerous dog, but they are a DISTANT 3rd after Pit Bulls and Rottweilers. So no "stereotypes" involved here. These are stats tracked over a very long period of time for these breeds, so this is accurate information about which dogs are the most dangerous in general, and which ones are prone to random attacks. When it comes to random, unprovoked attacks, Pit Bulls are the clear winner, and everyone knows this.

Anyway, yes, it's possible that a Husky randomly attacked a baby. But unlikely. If it were a Pit Bull though, no one would be surprised.

Seems unlikely that a Husky would attack a child for no reason, especially a baby. But I suppose it's possible. Huskies are very emotional dogs and are prone to emotional fits and whining, but are not random attackers despite being big dogs, at least the vast majority of the time. Even a German Shepherd, one of the most dangerous dogs that exists, are very kid-friendly and are unlikely to ever attack a child for no reason, or any reason, unless the kid were trying to kill it or something. Even a kid annoying or punching a German Shepherd would unlikely cause a German Shepherd to seriously attack a child.

A Pit Bull however, or a Rottweiler, either one of those, especially a Pit Bull, can and will attack a child, or anyone else, for absolutely no reason at all. Even that is UNLIKELY, but they are known to do that, especially Pit Bulls.

Ah gamefaqs, the only site on the internet where every user is supposedly an "alt". Also, people only transform into "alts" when they say something that someone doesn't like. But when they say things that someone likes, then they're a legit account. Am I getting it right? Very bizarre. For the record, this is the only account I have ever had, since 2002.

Why are you equating inflation with games having a larger budget relatively speaking? I think youve completely failed to see my point.

Mario 64 costs $60 bucks on launch. If you applied inflation youd be looking at $120.

Yes, there is rampant inflation, but the dollar is worth less in 2024 and people's purchasing power is less than 1996. Also, N64 cart prices were inflated in 1996 due to the cartridges. From around 96 until 2006, most new games were 40-50 dollars due to the PS1, Dreamcast, and then PS2 normalizing disc based games, which were much cheaper to manufacture, and those prices lasted until the PS3 gen. New games didn't go back up to 60 dollars until circa 2006 with the launch of the PS3 (maybe it was also the 360 that raised prices in 2005, not sure). Then in 2020 the prices went up to 70, although many 3rd party new games are still only 60.

Also, while first party N64 games like Mario 64 were usually 60 bucks, many 3rd party N64 carts were 70 and sometimes even 80 dollars. Also, before the N64, new SNES carts were usually 60 bucks (sometimes 70), and Genesis carts were usually 50 (but sometimes 60, unless it was Virtua Racing with the special chip, then it was 90). Point being that SNES carts were roughly 10 dollars more expensive than Genesis carts, despite the same console gen, similar tech, and the same inflation standards. And NES games were 40-50 bucks in the 80's and early 90's. Then prices went back down to 40-50 for PS1 and PS2 games (PS2 were usually a solid 50 though, not 40).

The point here is that a mitigating factor of game prices was the price of cartridges vs disc based games, after Sony brought down the industry prices in the mid-90's with CD's and then later DVD games. It wasn't just about inflation.

Not sure what you mean.

Offensive memes are banned all the time. In communist dictatorships, and also on gamefaqs. If the right couldn't meme, then there would be no need to censor them, since the purpose of said memes is to offend and agitate. So you're not really making sense. You will need to revise your opinions.

LonelyStoner posted...

Conservatives never knew how to meme. The majority of them can barely use Microsoft Word

Then why are memes censored?

wackyteen posted...

the right has never been able to meme

OK, but why does China censor memes? Pretty sure gamefaqs also censors memes. If the right couldn't meme, then gamefaqs simply wouldn't censor memes, since they can't meme, therefore no need for censoring of said not-memes, right? Explain.

DKC3 is the worst of the SNES trilogy. DKC2 is the best. DKC1 is also very good obviously, but not as good as DKC2. I wouldn't say DKC3 is an "ugly" game, but it probably does look the worst of the three. DKC3 has the worst levels, design, and music of the trilogy.

It's because of MAGA

let's not pretend otherwise

That wouldn't really account for the last two crackdowns in October and now. Try again.

I noticed that whenever something "major" happens in the world in recent years, that's the excuse for gamefaqs to crack down on political discussions. So after George Floyd in 2020, political discussions were banned on the PS4 board (which was a major, high traffic board at the time, on this site anyway), after January 6th the Trump board was deleted and there were further crackdowns, then after 10/7 they cracked down on political discussions even more, and now this.

The mantra in the last 4 years is "political opinions are fine, until something happens that is, then political opinions are no longer fine and you are no longer permitted to have opinions on politics or on anything else". LOL, what kind of logic is this? I'm not arguing about any of this, just pointing out the absurdity of the situation.

I've always held out hope that their could be some kind of North American version of the EU so I could go to Arizona and work without the hoop jumping of green cards.

Obviously not possible anymore, and especially won't be after Trump wins in November but I digress.

You truly believe that Trump has a goal of keeping Canadians out of America? Very bizarre. Where do you get these kinds of thoughts from? I'm curious if you really believe this, or if your logic is literally "well Trump doesn't like illegal immigrants, so surely he doesn't like Canadians either since we're illegal too". Very troubling, either way.

electricbugs2 posted...

To answer your question though, no. Too many Canadians despise hot weather, and are all in on hockey to go further south except for vacations.

And here we are with the contradictions already. You just got done saying that you "hope" for easier access for Canadians into America, and then a few sentences later you state that Canadians will steer clear of America. The cherry on top is that you even added "just for vacations", after clearly stating that you want easier access to America for work. Very troubling post, this is.
