| Topic | Anyone being forced to work remotely due to coronavirus? |
| WazzupGenius00 03/14/20 12:08:57 AM #84 | I am confident that by this time next week my workplace will be temporarily closed. It's a national-chain restaurant and arcade. I don't know if the entire company will close or if it will be on a state-by-state basis. The governor here has banned gatherings of over 100 people but shopping centers and malls are exempt and we're technically part of the mall, but I have a feeling that excuse won't work soon enough. There won't be any sort of work from home opportunity but I am financially secure at the moment. If anything, I've been hoping to find a new job and this might be the chance to actually have the time to look for it. --- |

| WazzupGenius00 03/11/20 12:02:04 PM #18 | The Japanese vampire was actually shown in Season 2, she just didnt have any lines and her name was never said in the show, though the creators of the show did give her a name back then (as seen at https://twitter.com/SamuelDeats/status/1059168613259718657?s=20 ) The point of Sumi and Taka was the same as the point of many of the subplots in this seasona story about trust and mistrust. --- |

| WazzupGenius00 02/22/20 1:36:36 AM #78 | Mewtwo59 posted... They changed it because otherwise you could just give your Pokmon one of the drinks and trade it to another game so it can get into Saffron early.And also so that you couldnt get stuck with no money and no way to make any more money to buy the drink (though youd pretty much have to go out of your way to do that in the first place) --- |

| Topic | Capcom finally updated SFV's netcode* |
| WazzupGenius00 02/19/20 12:56:18 PM #13 | since last night people have looked at the net code and they did, in fact, make improvements. If Ive read their findings right, it doesnt work quite the same way the fan patches do, and probably should get some more work done on it, but the initial conclusion people came to that they changed nothing else is definitely false. --- |

| Topic | Capcom finally updated SFV's netcode* |
| WazzupGenius00 02/18/20 11:30:16 PM #7 | There's some confusion over a tweet Ono made that suggested the actual fix isn't until next week, I guess until we know for sure on that front we can't pass final judgement. But if this really is all they did, I think we can call this the final nail in the coffin for any good will people still held toward Capcom in the fighting game scene. --- |

| WazzupGenius00 02/11/20 5:04:57 PM #15 | Nelson_Mandela posted... I had no idea the NES and SNES ones even had subtitlesThey always have in Japanese beyond the first one. Some of them are pretty much the same as the English but a few are very different! Dragon Quest II: Gods of the Evil Spirits Dragon Quest III: And thus into Legend... Dragon Quest IV: The Guided Ones Dragon Quest V: The Heavenly Bride Dragon Quest VI: Land of Illusion Dragon Quest VII: Warriors of Eden Dragon Quest VIII: The Sky, the Sea, the Earth, and the Cursed Princess Dragon Quest IX: Guardian of the Starry Sky Dragon Quest X: Awakening of the Five Tribes (plus more subtitles for each expansion) Dragon Quest XI: In Search of Time Mega Man has also always had subtitles in Japan --- |
| Topic | Notable RPGs that only have fan translations? |
| WazzupGenius00 02/10/20 12:43:33 AM #19 | I'm interpreting "notable" as "not generic, does something unique, or does the normal stuff very well" Oh I missed the "post-2010" post so I just wasted my time lol Beyond the PSP and DS you're gonna find like five games total NES -Destiny of an Emperor 2 (the first game has official English release but this one is a lot better) -Radia Senki (pretty good action RPG) -Sweet Home (horror RPG, serves as the inspiration for Resident Evil) -Niji no Silkroad (commerce and trading RPG) -Hoshi wo Miru Hito (notable for being EXTREMELY BAD) -Lagrange Point (only NES game to use the enhanced audio quality of the VRC7 chip--FM synth on NES!) SNES -Adventures of Hourai High (high school setting, job system is which club you're in. Unfortunately the game isn't balanced well) -Ganpuru: Gunman's Proof (basically Link to the Past but with a cowboy) -Torneko no Daibouken: Fushigi no Dungeon (the first Mystery Dungeon game, spinoff of Dragon Quest IV) -Dark Half (you alternate between playing as the hero and the villain, with different playstyles) -Live-A-Live (Each chapter stars a new character in completely different settings, e.g. Ninja, Caveman, Cowboy, etc.; they all come together in the end) -Kyuuyaku Megami Tensei (enhanced remake of Megami Tensei 1 & 2) -Shin Megami Tensei -Shin Megami Tensei 2 -Shin Megami Tensei If... -Metal Max Returns (nonlinear post-apocalyptic vehicle-based RPG, remake of NES game) -Rudra no Hihou (unique magic system where you type in a word to cast a spell, which determines what the spell is) -Front Mission (mecha tactics RPG) -Front Mission Gun Hazard (sidescrolling spinoff with some action RPG elements) -All the Fire Emblem games -Treasure Hunter G (developed by Sting, and thus has a unique, somewhat complicated battle system) -Tengai Makyou Zero (uses a real-time clock for many elements of the game--you'll need to make sure you're using the right emulator for this game.) --- |

It will probably still have the smallest prize of all the games because Nintendo wont provide any additional prize money, so the prize pool will just be the sum of all players entry fees. --- |

| Topic | Can someone give me a primer on the Street Fighter series? |
| WazzupGenius00 02/04/20 10:59:18 PM #14 | For SF2, Super Street Fighter 2 Turbo is the favorite, followed by Hyper Fighting (aka regular Turbo). If you care about these sort of things, it can be worth looking at the earlier versions just to see how dramatically the art changed overtime, along with the music and other aesthetic trappings (UI, announcer, etc). If you just want the "essential" SF2 experience, just play Super Turbo. For the Alpha series, Alpha 2 is essentially an upgrade of Alpha 1, same storylines but with more characters and better gameplay. There's almost no reason to play Alpha 1 aside from seeing its stages and hearing its music, which are different from Alpha 2. Alpha 3 is a sequel to Alpha 2 with new stories, characters, and mechanics. In the tournament scene Alpha 2 is more well-regarded than Alpha 3 (better balanced), but only Alpha 3 has online play in this collection. There are technically further arcade revisions of Alpha 2 and 3 but those are universally rejected and not included here. This collection also ignores the console ports which add more characters (from other SF games, not any brand new ones) and features. The different versions of SF3 have a lot of aesthetic and mechanical differences. The only one that people like to play for the gameplay is Third Strike, however. --- |

| Topic | So I'm playing through Wolfenstein 3D/Doom for the first time... |
| WazzupGenius00 01/30/20 1:03:09 AM #14 | i think it depends on what source port youre using whether A and D are turn or strafe by default. But definitely you should set them to strafe if theyre not already Also I would say to skip straight to Doom and then go back to Wolfenstein later if youre still curious about it. --- |
