Not really, but ignores and blocks help with some problems. However, any dedicated troll / stalker will have workarounds.

The thing that'd make this site tolerable -- which we'll never get -- is a set of consistent, non-arbitrary rules evenly enforced by unbiased, well-informed mods.

I was so excited for Breath of the Wild because everyone said "it's like Zelda 1!" and then got super disappointed that nobody who said that liked Zelda 1 for the same reasons I did.

I can kinda see the comparison in some ways, but the differences are substantial. Yes, BotW feels like it has an open, do-everything kind of world where you don't necessarily have a sense of direction, but -- at the same time -- there are gated areas (whereas Zelda 1 only has a few gated dungeons) and large swathes of the map are completely uneventful. That's not even getting into how they handled the story.

That and Zelda 1 feels like it has the right amount of content for what it is, whereas BotW seemed light.

Never finished BW2, but I thought BW1 sucked, especially the storyline. The Pokemon it added were also sketchy, but part of the problem was they were kinda redoing everything.

The USA doesn't have a gun problem, it has a violence problem. That same guy could've been using an axe, machete, or even a bow & arrow.

sveksii posted...

Guns facilitate impulsive decisions that would often otherwise not happen. Guns may not always be a root problem, but they are a problem.

The same is literally true of any weapon and, quite honestly, even people's fists. Unless you're planning on disarming the public by literally removing their arms, it'll always be an issue.

sveksii posted...

As far as mental health and other support programs go,

Something like this probably isn't a mental health issue. There's no sign that the perpetrator was mentally ill, other than the fact he acted in an extreme way.

There are a LOT of violent people in the US and other nations. And although people fixate on guns (despite the fact there are countries with higher gun ownership rates (ie, people actually owning guns rather than the highly misleading per capital guns-to-people number that obfuscates the fact that collectors vastly inflate that number) that don't have the US's violent crime rates), it does nothing to resolve the root causes.

Although mental health can be a factor, that's more in the case of mass shootings (and attempted mass shootings) rather than interpersonal disputes.

There is no proper use of the death penalty since it's a waste of money.

The only "proper use" would be against people who, even imprisoned, continue to pose a significant threat. Leaders of criminal organizations would be one example.

However, most actual uses are things where life imprisonment works just as well.

Burton was directing (aka the guy who made Batman goth and who proudly boasted that he'd never read a comic book),

Pretty sure he read The Killing Joke and several others before making it?

But yeah, until then, he wasn't a big comic fan... and yet the Burton Batman films turned out pretty well.

ParanoidObsessive posted...

And honestly, Nicolas Cage is a pretty good actor when he actually tries - we just mostly remember him from when he was deliberately playing crazy (Shia LeBeef also sort of fits into this category, and arguably maybe even Prince William Freshington Smith).

Yeah, Lord of War and Matchstick Men were pretty solid performances. And, with the exception of some irredeemable films, even when he's been goofy, Nic Cage is fun.

Shia LaDoof I've never liked nor been impressed by.

Will Smith is very good at playing Will Smith. He's kinda spotty at other stuff.

I picked up the Game & Watch LoZ edition back when BBuy had it on sale for $30 several weeks ago. It was partly for the novelty, but I also had never beat LoZ2 or Awakening (since I got stuck in the Face Shrine then my copy got stolen).

I started by trying out LoZ2 again because I remember disliking it and not getting very far... and that kinda held up. Even after consulting a map, etc, I just didn't feel like playing very much of it. I stopped sometime after the first dungeon.

And then I finally beat Awakening. Again, wasn't a huge fan of Awakening originally and, honestly, the Switch reboot would probably have been the better pick. The kinda-nuisance with Awakening is whenever I googled something, the Switch results would come up and they changed a LOT of shit for the Switch version (generally making things easier, more convenient, etc).

However, I kinda liked it. The one thing is that, as a gamer, I've apparently just go into the habit of looking shit up instead of spending tons of time checking every area, etc, and trying to work stuff out. I blame Gamefaqs. Back when I first played OoT, I'd check Gamefaqs when I got stuck and kinda started doing that earlier and earlier over the years.

The other kinda-big thing is, for the first time ever, I didn't steal the stupid bow. I wound up saving up rupees to buy it, so I went without it until around the Face Shrine or later. It made things interesting.

While I hadn't planned on playing LoZ1 again, I'd already beaten Awakening and didn't feel like trying LoZ2 again.

Despite playing (and beating) the 3DS port of LoZ1 within the last... it might've been 3-5 years ago, I'd forgotten a lot about it. And the things that annoyed me at the time still kinda bug me (such as the overworld map not being visible).

However, I've kinda come to appreciate LoZ1 more. The amount of secrets, etc, is neat. And the lack of polish (such as keys working in any dungeon) has a certain charm. That said, I realize I missed grabbing the bow... which I should've had back in the first dungeon. When I got the boomerang, I just thought that was the dungeon's weapon and didn't look any further. Whoops.

Anyway, LoZ1 is cool for the sense of progress when you unlock the upgrades. The sword and defense upgrades feel a lot more meaningful because everything is so much more punishing.

After I finish LoZ1 again, I might have to look into clones of the original Zelda since the style is kinda fun.

I though HGSS was kinda shit because the gameplay was stupidly slow and it was a remake of what I considered possibly the weakest entries in the main franchise (overall, anyway -- several other titles moved the needle less in terms of the Pokemon they added, etc)

In general, I've been kinda split on the remakes. FRLG was amazing and, although I'll play RB for nostalgia, I prefer FRLG. Conversely, I'd rather play GSC or RSE over their remakes (although ORAS is alright, it just doesn't do it for me).

I never really got the HGSS praise, but I always suspected it was nostalgia from people who started with gen 2. Personally, I thought gen 3 was more or less exactly what I wanted from the franchise, although I enjoyed gen 6 and, to a certain extent, gen 7.

It's weird to highlight gross rather than net, particularly given how much taxes can throw that number off.

Its their choice to be pro life right? Being pro choice I cant get mad at someone for making a choice for themselves. I do get frustrated at the limiting of said choices via legislation however.

Ive heard of pro birth, but not very often. I probably saw it on Reddit or something before I stopped going on it.

But do the children who get aborted make the choice to die or is that choice made for that? That's basically the underlying issue. Either way, a choice is being made for somebody else.

And it's weird that you're trying to say stuff like "pro-birth" which is a completely meaningless attempt to reframe the term while not saying "pro-abortion" instead of "pro-choice." And, if you wanted to stick to practical terms, it'd be "pro-abortion" and "anti-abortion"

i still kick myself in the taint for not picking up the big fancy huge beast wars optimus primal gorilla when it was on clearance for $20

it's $150 now

It never got down to $20 at my Wal-Mart, but I regret nothing. There'll probably be a better version eventually.

...granted, if that was a MP Optimus Primal for $20, you'd be crazy. But I don't think normal retailers got the MP and, even if they did, it wouldn't ever go for $20. Years ago, I saw a MP Grimlock on clearance for like $80. Supposedly one of the MP seekers was as low as $40 like eight years ago.

Mario, because there's a Mario movie out.

I also think of The Pest because of that stupid shower scene.

Wouldn't it be nice if everybody could just boycott beer at the same time and put that whole industry out of business? Especially since beer has done more to hurt America (and the world) than the various social issues people have protested in relation to that beer.

Technically, Kamiccolo was able to go one-on-one with 17.

However, the bigger issue isn't the Z Fighters, but instead the other planetary threats. The future timeline makes no sense because Dabura is stronger than 17 and 18 and Majin Buu is far stronger than Dabura. In the absence of the Z Fighters, the androids would STILL have been crushed.

That said, if everyone likes something and you don't, it's very possible that that's because you're somehow approaching it wrong or could otherwise change something to have a better time.

Strongly disagree, since there's almost no universally-beloved things in the world. Even if something has mass appeal, it's more likely that somebody just doesn't like it than it is a matter of trying to find out how to appreciate it. American Dad did a whole episode about sports, but I still don't like them.

ParanoidObsessive posted...

For instance, if you are discussing whether or not a specific comic book is good, the opinions of someone who has spent the last 40 years reading thousands and thousands of comics are probably slightly more valuable than the opinions of someone who has literally never seen a comic book at all. One of those opinions is based on an in-depth understanding of the medium and comparison to tons of other examples, the other is rooted in complete ignorance and knee-jerk assumptions. From there, "misinformed" opinions (based on factually incorrect knowledge) are potentially even worse than uninformed ones.

Given the nature of meta, I don't feel that's necessarily true. There comes a certain point where audiences get insular and weird, which is sometimes known as the AEW Effect.

ConfusedTorchic posted...

i picked up all five of these on clearance for $5 each.

They never got that low for the nicer ones in my area. I did buy a Tigatron for like $9, though, and a Terrasaur for I think $4.50 (but he's smaller, so he's cheaper). The Tigatron was a waste.

Most of the BW stuff is just re-releases, too, which makes them kinda bullshit.

I want to buy transformers toys but don't wany to spend $25-$35 on them. But I'm always looking at them.

They do have some lower-range ones. The deluxe might be $20 or $25 now, but deluxe is a mid-point product (or entry-level for the expensive ones).

You can also check other retailers like Burlington Coat Factory, Marshall's, TJ Maxx, etc, for cheaper ones. Burlington had some of the deluxe Cyberverse Adventures stuff for $10 (and the Starscream with the rocket effects was definitely worth it... and I don't regret picking up the lower-end action feature one, either), etc.

But it seems like the MSRP for most collector-level figures is $25+ now, which is kinda bullshit.

Bro looks ok but someone please tell me how this isnt going to just be generic superhero movie #3

Probably going to be more of a comedy one, which tend to be rarer (Shazam was also mostly played for laughs and there was more humor in Ant-Man than most superhero movies; of course, a better example would be something like Meteor Man starring Robert Townsend, but it probably won't lean that far into the humor). Granted, if you hate the superhero genre, it's all going to feel the same to you.

And it is likely to hit a lot of the origin story tropes because, well, origin story.

The only reason I haven't starved to death is thanks to New Hampshire caring for it's elders more than any other state I know of. We have a community action program (free with voluntary donations) for elderly and disabled people to get to doctors and groceries and the like. Without that or a car I'd be dead now.

Car culture is the single largest mismanagement of resources in human history.

This is perhaps the single most bizarre statement in human history. Even overlooking the countless, obvious, ACTUAL mismanagement of resources (the biggest of which will always be tax dollars), cars have largely facilitated the growth of societies in a way that would be almost impossible to achieve with just mass transit.

And, honestly, most of the people promoting nonsensical anti-car agendas are laboring under extreme delusions where they wrongly assume that, the absence of cars, we'd gain efficiencies when lifestyle choices (such as the want for more space) would STILL limit any gains. And even if you could convince people to live in cramped, inhumane spaces, you're potentially putting them in dangerous environments where a collapse, accident, or terrorist attack would instantly kill a larger number of people. (Whereas a more dispersed population tends to be safer.)

Not sure whether I'll get it for the Switch or wait for a deep discount on Steam. Guess it depends on how cheaply I can get it on the Switch.

She was neither the only Republican nor the one most likely to win.

Her district is an extremely safe Republican seat, meaning that whoever won the primary was a shoe-in for election. She didn't take the seat uncontested, the Republicans took a look at who was on offer in the primary, pointed to MTG and said, "Yep, that one. That's the best we've got!"

Which says a lot, really...

It's why a lot of far-flung idealogues on both sides get in. And many of the voters don't necessarily support those extreme ideologies, they're just hoping to push things along in a certain direction and sick of moderates making concessions.

...so, to be fair, maybe it is the broken system rather than just public idiocy.

Isekai's popularity is exactly the same as "chosen one" fantasy, where the draw is telling the audience

What's really interesting is how Disney managed to take a franchise entirely built around intensive merchandising that thrived for 35 straight years and managed to wreck it so badly in only 10.

It's an amazing achievement (in ineptitude).

Yeah, it's been fucking insane, although sadly predictable given the overall arc. How could anybody expect anything except failure given who they wrote out after EG?

adjl posted...

Which ideology is that?

Personally, I don't believe it's so much that Disney itself believes in an ideology -- although maybe many of its content creators subscribe to far-left social issues -- but the fact that it's trying to pander in a socially progressive direction because it assumes that's the market's direction. However, it's driving off existing fans and -- as we saw with CW -- the more overtly "woke" content is often niche.

And sure, going overboard on social issues is probably hurting Disney, but there are a lot of other problems, too. The SW sequel trilogy was a soulless, focus-grouped attempt to remake the original trilogy. Most of the films in the MCU are kinda spotty at best, and have involved talent who probably shouldn't be in the superhero-media industry at all (including the heavily problematic Joss Whedon).

On top of that, MAYBE the frequency is another issue.

Whatever the case, I haven't been excited to hear a new Marvel project announced since Avengers and whatever hope I had for SW was quashed by TFA.

I feel like this is either exaggerated or uses inflated values.

Granted, a lot of companies have periodic problems unloading inventory so it's not really unique. Funko just apparently didn't plan well enough and was holding onto inventory for too long. During the 2022 Christmas season, Five Below had a reasonably large Pop! offering... but for $6, which was lame.

keyblader1985 posted...

I wasn't aware anyone was collecting these for any reason other than simply liking them.

This so hard. They haven't really ever had a thriving secondary market, certainly not like Beanie Babies.

While I know that some collectors have tried (and often failed) to sell their collections afterward, they weren't buying them for the secondary market, they just bored of them, which is like anything else.

ParanoidObsessive posted...

From what I've heard it has nothing to do with the Funko bubble popping (no pun intended) and more to do with the fact that Disney is self-destructing.

Basically, Funko invested heavily in making Star Wars and Marvel themed figures, but with fan apathy for both franchises at an all-time high, none of them are selling (it's been mentioned that stores like Wal-Mart have had the same problem with Star Wars toys in general). So Disney fucking themselves into a hole is dragging multiple other companies down with them.

That's unsurprising. The franchises that get adapted can make or break a collectibles line and, while Funko has had success diversifying, the fact that they've gone all-in on some franchises must be hurting them.

NightMareBunny posted...

i mostly have MHA Funko pops because i like them and really for a lot of characters a funko pop is the only option

i mean they even include some students from Class 1-B and i know those characters aren't getting premium figures or Mcfarlane action figures

tbh, that's always been the appeal of Funko lines -- they tend to offer collectibles from underrepresented franchises or characters from those franchises. In the case of older films, it's sometimes been the ONLY figure that certain characters have had.

...that said, most of the Pop!s, Mystery Minis, etc, I've bought have related to moderately popular franchises, many of which have collectibles. However, in some cases, the Funko version is either cheaper (Chernabog, for example) or covers a character better (ie, some of the Spidey Far from Home normal figures were garbage; Molten Man, for example, might've only appeared in a budget line and the quality was lousy, whereas Funko did great versions of Molten Man)

And, honestly, for a lot of stuff, there's a long gap between merch.

Cheese, followed by mayo. Pickles are a distant third because, although I dislike them, they don't immediately kill a burger or sandwich nearly as hard and are easier to remove.
