| Topic | Pick-Up Artists think they're great with women, but are they? |
| TheSavageDragon 02/11/21 10:31:16 PM #84 | No_U_L7 posted... it's not any one thing he does, it an accumulation over a long period of time "It's not manipulation! He just says and does things to get the desired result without a shred of sincerity!" I actually found this shit amusing to do in my teens. Being able to read people and what they wanted from me has gotten me out of many jams with authority figures in my adolescence. I matured and learned sincerity is a more valued skill. What your idol does, is textbook manipulation. |

I mean he plays a cishet girl on Umbrella Academy right now and they're not changing the gender of the character so it's not outside the realm of possibility. He can do whatever he wants imo True, but even ignoring the gender thing...a 14 year old girl isn't likely to be portrayed by a 35 year old man. |

| Topic | Man remember when everyone said Spider-Man 3 (2007) was a terrible movie? |
| TheSavageDragon 02/06/21 9:54:00 AM #23 | I hate Sandman for the simple reason that Raimi desperately needed to tie him to Spider-Man's civilain identity like the previous 2 movies. And that he needed to be yet another tragic villain. It's great when you add some depth to a villain. It isn't when you're doing it for the 3rd time in an attempt to garner sympathy |

| Topic | I'm probably going to be gone by Valentines Dagy |
| TheSavageDragon 02/03/21 7:20:45 PM #20 | Duncanwii posted... Are you acknowledging that CE can be as bad as smoking mentality wise? I'm not acknowledging anything. I'm saying that when a person truly wants to quit something they believe is bad for them...they straight up quit on the spot. The type that makes excuses isn't quitting any time soon. |
| Topic | I'm probably going to be gone by Valentines Dagy |
| TheSavageDragon 02/03/21 7:08:34 PM #17 | Duncanwii posted... Because I still have people here I want to be in touch with on Discord after I leave. I mean...it doesn't take 2 weeks to send a couple of PMs with deets to stay in touch. You sound exactly like a smoker that claims they're quitting, yet always finds an excuse to keep smoking for a day longer. |
| Topic | They tried to make Kat Dennings look like an ugly nerd in the MCU |
| TheSavageDragon 02/03/21 7:04:54 PM #20 | Alteres posted... People have been mentioning her a lot the last couple days for some reason.@Alteres It's because she's playing a character in WandaVision that hadn't been seen in the MCU since Thor 2 IIRC |

| Topic | I'm rewatching FFXIII cutscenes and I really want to play it again. |
| TheSavageDragon 02/03/21 12:27:04 PM #20 | Aeriis posted... same lol, it looks confusing and kind of hard... 7, 8, 10 are so easy you normally don't have to think at all 13 is exactly the same, but even easier in execution. Once an enemy's weakness is known by using Scan, autobattle will always pick the right buffs, debuffs and magical/physical attacks. It all revolves around setting up your Paradigms which are preset line-ups of FF classes given "cool" names like Commando (Fighter/Knight) to draw in the CoD crowd. And then you switch between these Paradigms in battle as needed while watching the pretty pictures with half an eye on your health bar |
| Topic | I'm rewatching FFXIII cutscenes and I really want to play it again. |
| TheSavageDragon 02/03/21 12:10:22 PM #17 | tiornys posted... Did you enjoy the combat? That's kinda a loaded question for me. Yes, I enjoyed the combat in the sense that the mechanics were interesting, the visual representation stellar, the increased difficulty for random battles and the sometimes split second timing required got the blood pumping. No, I didn't enjoy the combat in the sense that, like everything FFXIII, it was far too restrictive for the vast majority of the game. The locked roles, not being able to create your own party,... played a part. The increased difficulty for random battles got negated by fully restoring the party after each battle which got rid of item/party management during dungeons in a game that was 100% dungeons. The game being a 30 hour slog of a straight line with nothing but cutscene - battle - cutscene meant that the flashy battles got old and samey quickly. Sentinel shouldn't even have been a thing if all they were going to use it for was Adamantoise farming and a couple of Cieth missions. Vastly prefer FFXIII-2's version of this type of combat. The improvements like party leader death not meaning game over, early accessibility to roles and party composition and overall more open design of the game didn't make the combat wear out its welcome I'm not saying the other installments in the franchise have generally varied battles as it's usually "select Attack" or in FFVI's case "Edgar, Tools, Crossbow". But let's not pretend that FFXIII's combat is any more nuanced. |
| Topic | I'm rewatching FFXIII cutscenes and I really want to play it again. |
| TheSavageDragon 02/03/21 2:44:46 AM #15 | tiornys posted... That's only 99% of battles if you like repeating the same strategy all game while watching it get less and less efficient. The outline is fine, just back off on the details. You use a variety of methods to set up high damage multipliers and then you switch over to high damage output and exploit the damage multipliers. And also you avoid dying while doing this. Leaves room for nuance and there is a lot of nuance to be had. The variety of methods being: start the battle in SYN/SAB/RAV to expedite the process. Oh and the 7 or so times SEN comes into play across the entire game. It didn't get any less efficient at all. |

| TheSavageDragon 02/02/21 9:22:03 PM #10 | Hexenherz posted... I always wanted to try it but I only ever played 7, 8 and 10 and in afraid I wouldn't get the combat mechanics The combat mechanics are easier to grasp than in other entries, especially using auto battle You use the Ravager class to quickly fill the stagger bar. When it's full the enemy gets staggered and you switch to Commando to deal huge amounts of damage. That's basically 99% of the battles right there. |
| Topic | What is the BEST Job in the FF Series? |
| TheSavageDragon 02/02/21 4:34:30 PM #53 | I want to say Ninja because, well...ninja. But I'm going to have to go with Monk. They're a party mainstay in every single FF they're in. |
| Topic | Damn, why are turn-based JRPGs so boring? |

| Topic | Wtf should I do in Terraria? |
| TheSavageDragon 01/28/21 6:04:00 PM #13 | LeeeeroyJenkins posted... Cool, thanks, guys. Yeah, the videos I'm watching explained the bosses, including the midway boss and the final boss. I feel like if I restart, I'll keep wanting to restart again and again. So I'll keep going with this playthrough and just see how it goes. Creating a new world isn't a full restart. You'll be able to hop between your new and old worlds using the same character with the same inventory and piggy bank inventory. Say you need a Balloon (slows fall) which spawns in chests on the sky islands. But your world doesn't spawn that particular item. You just create a new world, spend 10-15 exploring the sky islands of that world. After finding it you can delete that world or keep it to gather large quantities of ore or certain blocks when you get a drill. |
| Topic | Wtf should I do in Terraria? |
| TheSavageDragon 01/28/21 6:03:46 AM #5 | Another tip for a bit later on is start with creating new worlds. Not every world spawns every item and sometimes you stumble upon items like the aforementioned claws far sooner when exploring other worlds. Also, try to save up 10 gold asap and buy the piggy bank from the merchant (should be your 1st NPC after the guide). You can take it with you while exploring, place it down and you have an extra inventory that allows you to take far more stuff back home. Don't forget to take it with you after though. I've had to spend far too much gold replacing piggy banks that I forgot in the underground |

Why are there so many similar "vegy" or "vegeta" accounts posting here? Are they alts of the same guy? @V-E-G-Y- @ssj3vegeta and its variations are the same person @Veggeta_X is another person |

I mean yeah, Marth and Rika are genuinely massive weebs but you can see this exactly applies to most anime detractors as well don't you? Yeah, I do. I wasn't claiming anything to the contrary MarthGoomba posted... These shows are a minority, and you're conveniently ignoring all of the problematic sitcoms that have ever existed Dude, actually watch non weeb shit once in a while. There's about 5 dozen animated shows for each South Park that exists. And I'm not conveniently ignoring anything as what's being discussed here is Western and Japanese animation. |
| Topic | Is Anime too problematic for our western culture? |
| TheSavageDragon 01/25/21 11:18:54 PM #28 | MarthGoomba posted... Problematic anime is exceedingly rare Yeah, shows like Avatar, Adventure Time, Gravity Falls, Kippo and the Age of Wonderbeasts sure do feature some pretty offensive things...Or maybe you're just making baseless claims based on the 3 only western animated properties you can think of. Can't possibly see how someone that has spend thousands of dollars on half naked, big titted waifu figurines would think that. |

| Topic | How is ARK: Survival Evolved? |
| TheSavageDragon 01/21/21 10:32:21 AM #4 | It's fun as hell if you like that kind of game but it's notorious for running like shit The point of the game is to gather decent weapons,gear and tames to take down the bosses on the map. The original map along with the DLC maps tell a story among its explorer notes you find. There's 4 free maps as well |

She pretty much only existed to give character development to Cox and Turk, she hardly even interacts with the rest of the cast She was supposed to be Turk's rival, but got an offer to star in another show so her character never got the chance to come into its own |
| Topic | Why is the Scott Pilgrim game so beloved? It's generic. |

Will I have to buy this again or will I get a free/cheap upgrade? @WrkHrdPlayHrdr You'll have to buy it again as this is a "remaster". Basically they put the game+DLC in a single download and want you to pay for it. |
| Topic | Most turn based rpgs are easy random encounters where you just mash attack... |
| TheSavageDragon 01/15/21 3:15:26 PM #14 | The_Korey posted... I didn't know Too Open was a popular komplaint. lol, if SE made Final Hallway 13 just to spite such silly fans, I have to appreciate it now. It's not so much being "too open" as it was "the size of the areas brings the pacing to a crawl". And they didn't design FFXIII the way it is to spite fans. They did it in attempt to draw in the millions that solely play CoD, hence the major emphasis on flashy action. |

| TheSavageDragon 01/15/21 1:42:32 PM #23 | tremain07 posted... You are completely right, a shit load of RWBY's fanbase jerk off over their own fanfictions, weirdly enough a lot of them star Jaune, the character that received a ton of hatred because they accused the writers of self inserting as him. You're surprisingly knowledgeable about and invested in something you claim is shit. |
| Topic | Batman to team up with Ruby Rose |
| TheSavageDragon 01/15/21 1:05:40 PM #18 | Over the past decade DC characters have had crossovers with Star Trek, TMNT, Planet Of The Apes, freaking Hannah Barbara and Looney Tunes. Them using characters from comics they already publish (DC has a RWBY comic) that have superpowers isn't nearly as jarring as Daffy Duck being the Joker's henchman. They're likely trying to boost the RWBY comic's sales by doing this. |
| Topic | Scott Pilgrim vs the World rereleased today... |
| TheSavageDragon 01/15/21 12:54:00 PM #12 | I'm kinda annoyed by this. Bought the game + DLC on PS3, yet they expect me to pay some more because it's a "remaster". Motherfucker, this isn't a game from 1-2 gens ago that could be improved by superior technology. It's a 2D beat em up that was already on hardware far superior to what it requires. It's the FFVII PSone Classic all over again... |
