How awesome would it be if the vagrants migrated there instead? It might be worth looking into examples of "hostile architecture." This concept is generally used within overall city planning, but some of the principles could be applied to your situation as well.

TheCodeisBosco 09/07/19 7:53:26 PM #24 | Eddv posted... Yeah Twitter has already decided this movie is the new Fight Club and have already decided it sucks. I really hate this trend of people shitting on media solely because of who likes it. Or, in this case, who might like it once it actually releases. It's cringe culture at its worst and most disruptive. I'm reminded of when damn-near-every online discussion about Rick and Morty was being hijacked, for over a solid year, by idiots spamming the "high IQ" copypasta and beating the Szechuan Sauce incident to death. By all means, hate Rick and Morty, but hating and incessantly whining about it because of the fanbase is such a boneheaded reason. Scarlet is absolutely right - "Stop caring about the internet" is always good advice. But I see this type of talk seeping into IRL discourse more and more, and that makes it tougher not to be bothered by. Still pumped as hell for Joker, at any rate. The trailers have been wonderful. Beyond Phoenix, I'm also stoked to see Zazie Beetz' performance. She rules! --- Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |
Topic | How would they do in a contest? Day 98 ft Terry Bogard, Piccolo, Freddy Fazbear |
TheCodeisBosco 09/06/19 6:01:26 PM #9 | Terry Bogard: High Fodder. Smash will obviously help him out for the most part; he also has a kickass design in general, and I think this site's demographic trends will serve him well. That said, he may get some anti-votes from Smash fans who think he's "undeserving" of a roster slot. Piccolo - Fodder Line. If we ever have fictional characters added to Character Battles, I expect DBZ to translate particularly well. Piccolo is recognizable, well-liked and would stand out like a motherfucker in any match pic. Freddy Fazbear - LAW Fodder. I have no beef with Freddy or his franchise, but I can't say the same for any older-skewing video game website. GameFAQs is exactly the kind of place where anti-voters would jump at the chance to rip Freddy a new one, just like we saw with Sans and Draven last year.

Topic | Wii U was good for the time |
TheCodeisBosco 09/05/19 5:41:54 PM #9 | I always call the Wii U "the best purchase I've ever regretted". If I had known how quickly Nintendo would bury the damn thing and port nearly all its key titles to Switch (with extra content, no less), I absolutely would have passed on the U and waited for the Switch. But at the same time, the first-party lineup on the U was right up my alley. Splatoon 1 in its prime was arguably worth the price of admission all on its own. Then there was Tropical Freeze, Smash 4, Pikmin 3, the highly-underrated Kirby and the Rainbow Curse... even stuff like Game & Wario and New Super Mario Bros. U were much more fun than one would expect. In a vacuum, the Wii U is a blast. Nonetheless, I find it impossible not to feel like The Dipshit Who Actually Bought a Wii U.

Topic | Terry Bogard possibly leaked for Smash DLC |
TheCodeisBosco 09/03/19 7:07:07 PM #100 | Really, I don't even think Geno fans are any worse than the Smash community at large. The problem is, Smash has hands-down the worst fanbase in gaming. The speculation could be contentious in the Brawl and Smash 4 days, but Ultimate really seemed to scramble peoples' brains somehow. I feel like the Waluigi hysteria - first from salty Waluigi supporters, then from the "protect Sakurai's smile" virtue-signaling crowd - was what finally pushed things beyond the pale, and it's only gotten worse from there. Though I think my least favorite faction of the fanbase are the people who whine every time Hungrybox breathes or takes a step. Jfc... paulg235 posted... I'd honestly prefer if Paper Mario is chosen as the Mario RPG rep. I fully agree with this though, Paper Mario would be my ideal choice.

Topic | what were some good Game Gear games? |
TheCodeisBosco 08/30/19 11:06:20 PM #8 | Tails Adventure is easily the best Game Gear game I've played, and single-handedly justifies a GG system purchase. The Battletoads port is really solid. The GG version of Sonic 1 is wonderful, as is Sonic 2 if you're a masochist. Sonic Blast is a decent romp. For the most part, you are correct: most of the GG library is comprised of lesser versions of games widely available elsewhere. And yet, there is something weirdly charming about it. It's comparable to the Wii U, in a sense. (Within that analogy, Pikmin 3 would be the equivalent to Tales Adventure.) --- Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |

Topic | How would they do in a contest? Day 87 ft Venom, Squirtle, Klonoa |
TheCodeisBosco 08/25/19 6:03:08 PM #4 | Venom - Mid Fodder. Recognizable enough to beat the weaklings; otherwise, GameFAQs just isn't the place. Squirtle - High Midcarder. We're never going to see him slay Cloud again, and Gen I nostalgia doesn't have quite the sway it used to. Nonetheless, I expect Squirtle to still hold water, especially when wielding a Sugimori or sprite match pic. Klonoa - Low Fodder. I do think he's right on the cusp of Mid Fodder, because Klonoa fans are definitely a passionate bunch. However, they're small in number, and the fact that he's never made a bracket is pretty telling. I imagine he'd be right around Shantae's level. --- Now crack that combination: 27 99 23. |

TheCodeisBosco 08/19/19 5:27:05 PM #1 | At this point, these pay-per-ride electric scooters have gone from being a big-city curio to expanding into pretty much any area that'll have them. And over time, the hype surrounding them has been matched (if not surpassed) by passionate hatred. Since they inspire such strong opinions, I'm curious - what does Board 8 think of them? I thought they were awesome at first, but you can only see so many scooters dumped on sidewalks before growing ambivalent about it all. They're also the easiest thing in the world to vandalize, so I can't see the business model being sustainable.

According to several people on Cheapassgamer, they're adding the $5 bump to previous-gen/retro titles as well... except Sega Saturn games, for some weird reason.

The best coffee I've found so far was from North Pole Coffee in Fairbanks, AK. Alaskan coffee in general is top-notch, much like the PNW, but that stuff was especially excellent.
