Topic | Remember how the first boss of Turok was a Humvee |
Philip027 10/27/23 9:51:47 AM #15 | About the only thing that could have been more wild than a Humvee boss was two Humvee bosses. |
Topic | Pokemon Legends: Arceus or Scarlet & Violet DLC? |
Philip027 10/26/23 7:11:35 PM #4 | I really enjoyed Legends. There is less emphasis on battling and more emphasis on catching though (it's a little closer to the Let's Go games in terms of battling mechanics; there are no abilities or hold items in both games, for instance), so you need to decide if that sort of thing would be a dealbreaker to you. |
Topic | Wheel of Fortune: Contestant blows $1M "easy" puzzle |
Philip027 10/25/23 10:19:12 AM #11 | I couldn't guess it, but that's because drawing names from a hat is something I've pretty much never taken part of. |
Topic | $47,000 but attractive young women frequently hit on you in public. |
Philip027 10/25/23 5:25:59 AM #33 | I would find this obnoxious/unwanted, but I stay indoors often enough that I don't feel like this would usually be an issue. I'd take the money. |
Topic | Man accidentally forgets wife at a rest stop and drives 100 miles without her. |
Philip027 10/23/23 1:29:38 PM #7 | asdf8562 posted... How do you "forget" your wife for 100 miles? Last paragraph literally answers this question. Can easily see this sort of thing happening on night drives tbh, and I'm pretty sure if this was an intentional move on his part he wouldn't have gone back. This is why you always call your bathroom breaks. |
Topic | Worst student meltdowns. |
Philip027 10/22/23 9:27:51 AM #26 | My own. |
Topic | may have been permabanned from reddit. any hope? |
Philip027 10/20/23 5:34:33 PM #14 | I get the point you were going for, but yeah, gotta be careful with how you phrase it, precisely because of how trigger happy people on reddit and largely the internet as a whole are. |
Topic | Remember when old games lagged to shit because the devs put too much stuff |
Philip027 10/19/23 9:43:37 AM #16 | Gradius III on SNES is a standout example in my memory. It was actually something that really helped with player survival, as some people found out the hard way in rereleases on more powerful hardware, which actually included a on/off toggle in the settings to emulate the slowdown effect the original had. |
Topic | Everyone pronounced "Crayons" as "crans" as a kid |
Philip027 10/19/23 2:36:01 AM #24 | No, I definitely didn't. Restaurant as "rest-ront" and Wednesday as "wens-day" though, yeah. |
Topic | FF14 queues |
Philip027 10/17/23 6:12:26 PM #51 | Dalthine posted... I know. I'm saying that it might have the opposite effect for now. I've seen people say they just won't do alliance roulette anymore because the possible "bad" raids aren't worth the rewards. It's the reason I've sworn off doing that roulette anymore, so yeah. |
Topic | The whole VTuber thing is so strange to me |
Philip027 10/17/23 3:24:29 PM #104 | YugiNoob posted... So you dont enjoy watching vtubers yet still know what the vast majority of them sound like? The vast majority of the ones I've come across. Man, some of you people are really bad at reading. Note that I specifically said "some of you", so the people who actually can read shouldn't be offended. |
Topic | Mandatory 20 hour work days 6 days/week. Yay or nay? |
Philip027 10/17/23 7:25:02 AM #2 | I feel like at that point the "machinez" would be fully justified in killing us off. |

Topic | The whole VTuber thing is so strange to me |
Philip027 10/17/23 6:42:16 AM #85 | majin_nemesis posted... when the vast majority of female vtubers sounds like females and the vast majority of males vtubers sound like males and there's no need to even trick the audience and the audience doesn't even care and gender doesn't matter for popularity, your claim that all female vtubers sound like males does come out as either trolling or you having a hearing problem or you not being able to tell males from females Except I never said "all female vtubers sound like males". I said the ones I've come across usually do, which makes sense because most video gaming content I see on YT is also clearly male-voiced. They're usually making zero attempt to disguise it or anything; it's obvious they just want some anime girl as their avatar because they know it'll get them more views/subs. Even if this weren't the case, it would still be weird to me. This is just something that makes it weirder. In any case, you may want to work on your reading comprehension skills before you go around accusing other people of "trolling". and with some of them you don't even need to do stalking watch their content for long enough and youtube will eventually recommend their other channels or clips from those channels I would never watch their content long enough for YT to push these recommendations because... I don't enjoy watching vtuber content. |
Topic | The whole VTuber thing is so strange to me |
Philip027 10/17/23 6:08:56 AM #82 | majin_nemesis posted... and i guess the vast majority of what you post is trolling or you don't know what a female looks and sounds like and you are watching male vtubers And I'm the "trolling" one. Okay. and we know how a lot of vtubers look in real life Good for you? I don't care about these people nearly enough to try to go internet stalking. |
Topic | The whole VTuber thing is so strange to me |
Philip027 10/17/23 4:55:39 AM #78 | majin_nemesis posted... lol what anime girls are you watching? all the female vtubers sound female, you probably watching male vtubers 1) The vast majority of "vtubers" I've come across were using clearly feminine avatars 2) The vast majority of people I hear speaking over their YT videos are male-sounding Guess the most likely result when you combine these points together. |
Topic | The whole VTuber thing is so strange to me |
Philip027 10/17/23 4:28:18 AM #76 | I don't get it either. I don't want to see weird anime girls "voicing" the (usually clearly male-sounding, which just makes it weirder) person playing the game; it's just a distraction on the screen from what I actually clicked on the video to see. If you don't want to show your face on the internet, nobody's saying you have to. You're not obligated to show something else in its place. (Yes, I actually know people do this sort of thing because it actually does get them more views, for some weird reason. But for me, it'll usually just deter me from watching. I feel it detracts rather than adds to the video.) |
Topic | What would be an example of a utopia? Is it even possible? |
Philip027 10/17/23 4:19:16 AM #33 | No. One person's "utopia" is another person's nightmare. Much like the concept of perfection in general, it's not something meant to be attained, just to be theorized about and reached toward. |
Topic | Youtube is coming for your adblock |
Philip027 10/16/23 2:58:34 AM #87 | Still haven't gotten anything on either Firefox w/ uBlock on PC, and Brave on mobile. I added Privacy Badger for good measure anyway, since it seems like a decent thing to have even outside of all this YT business. Also once again, thanks to topics like this one for giving me tags. |
Topic | It's funny how normal is the most OP type in the original pokemon |
Philip027 10/15/23 8:45:51 PM #16 | Nah. Gengar was too popular (despite the Psychic weakness). Hell, didn't one of the Elite Four have like 3 Gengar on their team or something? |
Topic | How would you interpret the word "and" in this scenario? |
Philip027 10/15/23 8:24:51 PM #5 | "and" should mean both/all conditions need to be fulfilled, just like it would in a programming sense. If that isn't what is meant, it should be changed accordingly. You'd think legalese stuff would make sure to be clearer on such things. |
Topic | sites banning adblockers is YOUR fault! |
Philip027 10/15/23 5:37:46 PM #111 | I love these threads, they're giving me plenty of tags. |
Topic | Most of us are past 30. Some are past 40. How does it feel getting older? |
Philip027 10/15/23 2:29:53 AM #13 | My 30s have been the best years of my life, emotionally anyway. Physically not as much, but I don't really care about my physical self as much. |
Topic | I need help identifying either a Pokemon, anime, or video game character. |
Philip027 10/14/23 8:01:29 AM #2 | Def not a Pokemon. |
Topic | How does CE feel about Disco Elysium |
Philip027 10/13/23 9:22:35 AM #31 | Much like BG3, not my kind of game at all, but the concept is interesting. |
Topic | Can you tell time by military time? |
Philip027 10/13/23 8:48:42 AM #13 | Yes. "Subtract 12 & add p.m." isn't exactly arcane sorcery. |
Topic | Youtube is coming for your adblock |
Philip027 10/13/23 8:20:29 AM #2 | The idea that Google can beat adblockers is laughable at best. |
Topic | $420 but a lunatic punches Donald Trump at Mar-a-Lago |
Philip027 10/13/23 5:28:28 AM #21 | What's the downside? |
Topic | Super Mario RPG remake has defiled Ted Woolsey's translations >_> RIP |
Philip027 10/12/23 3:40:15 AM #48 | Man, I never got Yaridovich's name until this topic and I'm kind of ashamed of myself because I was not completely unfamiliar with the yari as a spear. |
Topic | 'Weapon Durability' |
Philip027 10/12/23 12:20:59 AM #91 | Bad mechanic. Some games implement it more acceptably/tolerably than others, but I have never found it outright enjoyable or fun. Usually it contributes massively toward me finding the game tedious overall (looking at you, BotW, Fallout 3/NV...) "It gets better/easier later" is just as bad of a defense for this mechanic as it is for long games as a whole, btw. If you make the player have to endure a shitty experience before getting to the point where it isn't as shitty anymore, I'm far more likely to just quit first. I have way less time, patience, and tolerance for that kind of bullshit nowadays than I may have had as a kid. |
Topic | People only hated the junction system because they didn't understand it! |
Philip027 10/09/23 2:57:26 AM #34 | Yeah, Golden Sun pretty much did what FF8 was trying to do with its combat/progression system. Good point. |
Topic | Dear Game devs, please stop with this lame ass piecemeal upgrades |
Philip027 10/06/23 4:15:47 PM #12 | Yeah... If it's an upgrade you need something like a parser to be able to see, it tends to be very unexciting. |
Topic | Would you take $10 million or the chance to wait at this table? |
Philip027 10/06/23 2:47:46 AM #5 | What does it even mean to "wait" this table? What would I be getting out of it? |
Topic | what kinda ads does gamefaqs show you? |
Philip027 10/05/23 9:22:02 AM #68 | None, because I'm not a masochist. |
Topic | In ResetERA news: Users are actively PISSED OFF how Cait Sith is pronounced |
Philip027 10/03/23 7:00:23 PM #158 | Questionmarktarius posted... Squeenix ought to pronounce Cait Sith #2 the actual Irish way, just to fuck with everyone. This would actually be both clever and quite in-line with what they did with FF7 "Remake" as a whole (getting people thinking something would be a certain way only to subvert the expectations). I'd allow it. |
Topic | Why are US presidential candidates so old? |
Philip027 10/02/23 8:18:48 AM #20 | Because the people that are still young don't want to become old just yet. Compare Obama before and after presidency. The dude visibly aged. |
Topic | Married guy here, do you like your in- laws? |
Philip027 10/01/23 9:39:25 PM #6 | Except for one creepy ass uncle (without going into too much detail, let's just say he was much happier when he thought he had a niece, rather than the trans nephew he actually had), my in-laws are great. Really feels like having another family across the pond (they're mostly in Europe). |
Topic | whose been teaching Wikipedia weird things again |
Philip027 10/01/23 6:50:15 AM #20 | There is not a single thing in that image that I'm happy with. |
Topic | Does Batman's "no kill rule" extend to mosquitoes? |
Philip027 09/30/23 11:53:26 PM #6 | When did Batman have a "no kill" rule? His thing was no guns. |
Topic | $5000 but you have to watch every episode of the Donkey Kong Country cartoon |
Philip027 09/30/23 6:52:59 PM #19 | Sure. It was something I had a longstanding idle curiosity about anyway, just never was strong enough to actually do anything about. $5k would certainly be the kick in the butt I needed. |
Topic | Discord has a mass ban glitch going on. |
Philip027 09/29/23 8:06:28 AM #2 | It has the look of a response to a potential DDoS attack. Either that or it's just Cloudflare being Cloudflare. Probably more likely |
Topic | Choose one of these foods to eat. You can never again eat the rest. |
Philip027 09/29/23 7:16:00 AM #43 | Oreos. I love me some sweets. |
Topic | Is it ok for a cashier to use THEIR rewards card when you don't use yours |
Philip027 09/28/23 1:53:14 PM #23 | I wouldn't really care, but I see why people would. Some people have an issue with other people capitalizing off of their work/expenditure, even if to a minor degree like this. (I'm also the sort that would probably verbally question what they were doing if I saw it, unaware of what was going on, so it's possible that I could unintentionally narc on someone.) codey posted... If I'm not getting the rewards what do I care that somebody else does? You would be surprised at how many would care, particularly among the gamer community. |
Topic | Financial planners upset as Powerball winner buys $73 million LA mansion |
Philip027 09/27/23 6:47:04 AM #138 | He would need to have spent a lot more of what he won in order to be in any conceivable danger of running out in his lifetime. Don't know what people are freaking out over. It's only natural for people with a sudden enormous financial windfall to want to splurge with it a bit. But financial planners have criticised Mr Castros lavish spending, classing the three homes as well as a vintage Porsche 911 hes been seen driving to and from the bank as terrible purchases. Financial advisers typically recommend that winners collect their large lottery payouts though annual payments, rather than the lump sump Mr Castro sprung for. Financial advisers also recommend that lottery winners or anyone else coming into a large amount of wealth consult with a financial planner, tax lawyer or other expert to create a plan, according to Fortune. Dont make any visible life changes. Dont quit your job, dont go out and buy a Ferrari, dont buy a mansion, Emily Irwin, managing director of advice and planning at Wells Fargos investing and wealth management division, told the publication. Maybe you have student loans you want to pay off, that makes sense. But try to avoid that mega-purchase. All I got out of this is that "financial advisers" are a bunch of boring sticks in the mud. |
Topic | This guy has uploaded a video of killing Nazeem every day |
Philip027 09/27/23 6:36:05 AM #3 | I'm reminded of a mod that made it so that anytime someone uttered the words "cloud district", the perpetrator would be immediately struck by a bolt of lightning. |
Topic | If you see a nickel (5 cents) on the street, are you pocketing it? |
Philip027 09/26/23 2:04:59 AM #5 | I've always picked up any money I found on the ground, even pennies. |
Topic | Do you honestly find talking to girls stressfull and intimidating? |
Philip027 09/25/23 7:10:03 AM #23 | Nope. Found them much easier to talk to than male peers starting from around adolescence. |
