| Topic | Florida gov signs law fining websites 250,000 a day if they ban politicians |
| Proto_Spark 05/24/21 6:39:45 PM #37 | TheoryzC posted... The fuck is up with Republicans signing all these dumbass laws latelyIt appears that post-Trump republicans have now given up on even pretending that they care about democracy or actually having a functional government, and have just started moving towards being a fascist state like theyve wanted for the last 40 years. |
| Topic | The Uncharted movie is going to suck |
| Proto_Spark 05/24/21 12:29:23 PM #6 | Uncharted should be a really easy movie to make, since all the games are basically extended movies (most of the gameplay in Uncharted 1 is pointless anyways) |
| Topic | YIKES..... New Uncharted movie pics.... lol......... |
| Proto_Spark 05/24/21 12:27:30 PM #10 | Mark Wahlberg looks like a terrible Sully (nor is he a particularly good actor) I'm real worried about this movie, and I shouldn't be. This movie should be ****ing piss-easy to make. Step 1) Hunting some historical figure's lost treasure Step 2) Bad guy (and his army) want same treasure Step 3) Meet Elena Step 4) Lost treasure is more than you bargained for Step 5) Drake's real treasure was Elena all along. It isn't like the games have a complicated story or anything (in fact those 5 explain ALL OF THEM (well, only kind of Uncharted 4)) Just make Indiana Jones with some crazier action scenes. |
| Topic | For real, STOP supporting GTA V! |
| Proto_Spark 05/23/21 5:00:50 PM #8 | I got the PS3 version shortly after it came out, have it on PC and XBone, and still haven't played beyond like, the 5th mission. Doesn't even have fun cheats to run around with, |
| Topic | Arizona election audit continues to prove what we all already knew. |
| Proto_Spark 05/22/21 3:11:32 PM #13 | UnholyMudcrab posted... The point isn't to overturn the election, it's to keep feeding conspiratorial garbage to their base this. Its gonna be going on until 2024 (or as long as close as they can get to that) |
| Topic | Just ordered a vita. Recommendations? |
| Proto_Spark 05/21/21 5:20:20 PM #5 | Trumpo posted... Get an sd2vita along with a high capacity as card and mod away. Even if you don't want to mod it as much as you want, at least mod it for a SD2Vita. The cards for PS Vita are both way too expensive and way too small. You also need to mod it to get a handful of PS1 classic games - even if you've already bought them (The most notable ones are the Crash/Spyro trilogies). Otherwise, P4G is the Vita game that gets recommended every time this topic comes up if you go to the Vita board or a place like r/Vita. The Killzone, Gravity Rush and Uncharted games are really good, The Sly Cooper games all run really well (Thieves in time is less so, and you might want to avoid the Jak and Daxter/Ratchet and Clank collections), Dangonrampa and Zero Escape are fun if you like the visual novel kind of game and the Digimon games are pretty fun. Metal Gear collection also is lots of fun IIRC. ^Those are all Vita games btw. there are plenty more Vita games worth playing, but a lot of it depends on your interest in waifu stuff. |
| Topic | did you pay for your own college? |
| Proto_Spark 05/21/21 5:10:52 PM #32 | 100% student loans. But I'm Canadian so my loans are like, 1/2 of what most American's loans seem to be. |
| Topic | Will conservatives tolerate an armed insurrection if Trump is convicted ? |
| Proto_Spark 05/20/21 1:12:59 PM #8 | They might just elect him from prison. Just need to be convinced his conviction is a sham. Then they don't need to have an armed insurrection, because Trump will name himself King or something once he's president again so he can't get it taken away. |
| Topic | People upset about the iCarly reboot |
| Proto_Spark 05/20/21 10:25:38 AM #4 | I mean, just let it be a fun part of peoples childhoods, dont bring it back so people realize it wasnt really as good as they remember it was. Also, the girl who played Sam very vocally hated every aspect of her entire experience there, so maybe revising old Nick shows from when they would harass the children isnt the best idea. |

| Proto_Spark 05/18/21 9:47:11 PM #4 | Good. The death penalty doesn't really work with the "rehabilitation" aspect of criminal justice. |
| Topic | Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness | Official Trailer | Netflix. |
| Proto_Spark 05/18/21 9:45:48 PM #5 | The animated RE movies are quite a bit better than the live action ones, so that's a plus... That said, they still aren't that good. still excited tho. |
| Topic | How tall are you? |
| Proto_Spark 05/18/21 1:23:00 PM #32 | 5'10"ish, but I haven't actually measured my height since High School. I guess its possible I've grown 6 inches into a sexy mountainous beefcake, but I kind of doubt it. |
| Topic | Is Family Guy racist? |
| Proto_Spark 05/18/21 1:19:50 PM #7 | Family Guy's main target is those low-brow lowest denominator jokes, because they aren't good at doing anything better. Nobody really gets upset at them, because, like, what are you expecting? its Family Guy. Its why most people who watch Family Guy are also 12-year olds who's parents don't want them to watch. |

Probably, unless they go all Nintendo Kart so they can introduce the million other Nintendo Characters they have. They don't have too many Mario characters worth introducing otherwise. |
| Topic | Chargin' Chuck is a playable golfer in Mario Golf: Super Rush |
| Proto_Spark 05/17/21 5:51:37 PM #10 | I hope this succeeds and we can get all the other Mario Sports games we haven't seen in a long time. Like Soccer, Baseball, Basketball, that time they were in the SSX game... |
| Topic | Digital PS5 or Disc PS5? |
| Proto_Spark 05/17/21 4:53:12 PM #27 | LordMarshal posted... You can hook pc to tv. But if you use your PC for things besides gaming, plugging it into a TV is inefficient, plus you have to constantly move your PC around in order to connect it to a TV and then back to wherever you keep it. PS5 doesn't really have any exclusives yet, but it will, because exclusives are basically the only reason to get a Playstation over the near-identical Xbox. |
| Topic | Jim Stephanie Sterling dropped to 899k YT subscribers for one...certain...reason |
| Proto_Spark 05/17/21 3:59:41 PM #20 | I don't get why everyone seems to hate them so much. Like I'm not a big fan of the channel, but their stuff isn't like, offensive. But every time one of these videos gets posted, like 1/3 of the comments (at least) have to be about how awful the channel is. |
| Topic | it horrifies me how un-frequently most men get their haircuts |
| Proto_Spark 05/17/21 3:52:37 PM #16 | I used to go like every month or two when my hair would get too shaggy. But since Covid happened I haven't gone in basically a year+ now and really can't wait for my area to start opening up again, because I could really use a haircut. |
| Topic | Wow. Cesaro got a huge push. |
| Proto_Spark 05/16/21 11:20:32 PM #38 | JustMyOpinion posted... Stop trying to backtrack. You were wrong. Shut the fuck up and take your L with what little dignity you can muster. wtf dude, that's not a proportionate response. |
| Topic | Wow. Cesaro got a huge push. |
| Proto_Spark 05/16/21 10:31:25 PM #35 | JustMyOpinion posted... Quoting this so I can say I told you so later today. tbf, I never said Cesaro would win tonight. but wtf at losing without shenanigans like that. This is the one match in Reigns' reign that should have had a ****y finish. Worst case scenario, Cesaro goes back to being a midcarder now that his friend Daniel Bryan left WWE. |
| Topic | Wow. Cesaro got a huge push. |
| Proto_Spark 05/16/21 12:16:46 AM #17 | JustMyOpinion posted... He's over and they're never pulling the trigger on Cesaro. They see him as a good little hand and that's it. A few weeks ago when they set up Roman/Bryan Roman refused to even say Cesaro would ever get an oppurtunity at the title. That's about as obvious a set up for Cesaro winning the title from Roman. |
| Topic | Why did Saban think it was a good idea to put Angela Anaconda in Digimon the mov |
| Proto_Spark 05/15/21 2:21:45 PM #5 | The digimon movie was really just two completely unrelated episodes awkwardly stapled together, so why not awkwardly add another thing to it? |
| Topic | I don't like Tom Holland Spider-man |
| Proto_Spark 05/15/21 2:14:51 PM #27 | Tom Holland probably would be the best spider man if he could like, actually get to be in a spider man movie. Instead he's Spider Man in name only because all the other MCU stuff needs to get thrown around to show how cool it is Spider Man is finally in the MCU. Nobody making a spiderman story should ever have thought it was a good idea to give Peter a "King of the nerds" schtick he's had in both MCU movies. |
| Topic | C/D: As you've gotten older you play on lower difficulty modes in games |
| Proto_Spark 05/14/21 12:05:18 PM #31 | games that are heavily story based I'll be much more inclined to play at lower difficulties, because dying every ten minutes when you go through a tough gameplay moment, and it can kinda hurt the actual enjoyment if you die all the time and nothing of consequence happens (this is especially an issue in horror games IMO) |
| Topic | If you're not vaccinated yet, why not? |
| Proto_Spark 05/14/21 11:57:41 AM #10 | In, Ontario, Canada, vaccines aren't open to people my age for another few weeks. Because the Provincial government seems to be going out of the way to **** the bed at every opportunity. |
| Topic | "The Last of Us II is a Masterpiece." How do you feel hearing that? |
| Proto_Spark 05/14/21 11:55:54 AM #22 | Game is really good, but has way more pacing issues (like the story stopping dead TLOU2 tried to be much grander than the first one, and I think it does a fine job of doing so, just not as good as TLOU1 got the much more simplistic story perfectly. Also, Abby's storyline is way better than Ellie's. |
| Topic | Pokemon Shield expansion pass worth? |
| Proto_Spark 05/14/21 12:05:34 AM #11 | Its in the first area of the Isle of Armor, so you'll be able to catch it either after the first or second gym. |
| Topic | Pokemon Shield expansion pass worth? |
| Proto_Spark 05/14/21 12:02:27 AM #8 | dmaster342 posted... The expansion basically adds two Wild-Area like spaces where the levels scale with your progress/Gym Badges so they won't be crazy with that. The levels don't really scale. Isle of Armor has a pre- and post- champion levels, with the levels floating around badge 4/5 to be on scale, or has much higher levels when you finish the game. Shield Tundra is 100% a post-game area. Technically you can do most of it earlier, but its designed to be post-game. |
| Topic | Pokemon Shield expansion pass worth? |
| Proto_Spark 05/13/21 11:47:54 PM #4 | Miltank is a bomb-pokemon, crazy underrated. I second buying the expansion pass, it adds a lot of content. |
| Topic | QAnon Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene is clout chasing AOC again. |
| Proto_Spark 05/13/21 8:46:19 PM #4 | Solar_Crimson posted... Probably because AOC knows that debating with MTG won't benefit anyone; MTG can't be reasoned with. Agreeing to debate MTG is effectively saying that MTGs ideas are worth debating. Its a lose/lose as far as AOC. Is concerned. |

| Proto_Spark 05/13/21 10:50:48 AM #14 | Phantom36 posted... Not surprising. This country's infrastructure is shit. IIRC things like infrastructure maintenance are horribly underfunded so crazy **** like this falls through the cracks when the place in charge of maintaining it literally isn't given enough resources to do so. |

| Proto_Spark 05/12/21 10:53:36 PM #11 | No, what part of "social distancing" made you think "I should go into a closed off room with a lot of other people who can't even see very well"? |

| Topic | Fan makes DPPt remake concept video |
| Proto_Spark 05/12/21 10:04:12 PM #13 | I can't be the only one that actually likes the direction they took the Gen 4 remakes? Better than the crappy "trying to be 3D when you don't know how to make 3D" the main games have been in for 2 gens now. |
| Topic | Humble covid-19 bundle |
| Proto_Spark 05/12/21 9:52:21 PM #8 | DarthDemented posted... I only asked because when I did the sonic bundle about 5 years ago it split each tier into it's own separate key. So one key gave me all the games for the $1 or more tier and another key for the next...well you get the picture. At least now its almost always a bunch of separate keys (as in, I've never had a collective key for the whole tier) Was the sonic one one of the ones they used to do for Playstation? because IIRC those were just one code. |
| Topic | Humble covid-19 bundle |
| Proto_Spark 05/12/21 9:38:21 PM #4 | DarthDemented posted... If you do let me know if it's one steam key for the whole bundle or individual keys. I know my kid would love undertale Its a bunch of individual keys, but Humble has had an issue with people re-selling codes, so if you spread the codes around to a bunch of different accounts there might be an issue. |
| Topic | Christian School tells teachers to expel all gay and trans students or leave |
| Proto_Spark 05/11/21 8:41:16 PM #22 | Solar_Crimson posted... Isn't this a civil rights violation? Very directly. I think its just hoping nobody wants to challenge it, or is actively trying to get it challenged so it can go in front of the Supreme Court Judges Trump appointed to back it (but back in June they backed protections for LGBT people so who knows about that). |
| Topic | Tucker Carlson wants a criminal investigation on Fauci for allowing the pandemic |
| Proto_Spark 05/11/21 4:15:54 PM #77 | Giant_Aspirin posted... valid points. maybe we can fight his messages without bringing him the attention he wants? so just attack points he makes without mentioning who made them? Though his points are often so dumb if you refute them without saying who made them you might be accused of strawmanning with a "not all conservatives think that way" or something. |
| Topic | No Way Home plot leaks *SPOILERS, take with a grain of salt* |
| Proto_Spark 05/11/21 4:12:26 PM #18 | Its about time Spider Man actually has one of his big villains. Its been like 15 years since he had a movie where he had an actual enemy. tbh I think this movie sounds like it'll suck. Way too much happening and throwing all this crap at the wall just because it was cool in another movie. Awkwardly hammiest some other MCU characters in there and this is a ASM2 level mess. def. not a fan of Doc Ock being relegated to "fancy grunt" for The Tinkerer of all people. |
| Topic | Resident Evil 6 any good? |
| Proto_Spark 05/11/21 12:49:37 PM #74 | RiKuToTheMiGhtY posted... RE 6 was a f***ing terrible RE game, the reviews from fans and critics alike reflect this. Just because a few idiots die on that hill defending RE 6 does not change the fact most fans hate that piece of s***. Even as someone who liked RE6, yeah RE6 was a bad RE game. One of the biggest things anyone would need to do to like RE6 is not treat it like an RE game. |
| Topic | Should the penny be eliminated? |
| Proto_Spark 05/11/21 12:02:09 PM #27 | Questionmarktarius posted... [citation needed]https://www.credibly.com/incredibly/cash-business/ Not a super legit article, but its more general for why these exist. When you pay with a credit card, the credit card company also gets a cut of not only when you pay off your card, but also at the point of purchase, so if your a small business who can't afford to lose a cut like this every time you make a transaction (or just don't want to lose a cut of every transaction), you can refuse to accept credit cards and only take cash. Same idea with a debit card/NFC. You have the ability to refuse credit/debit for your transaction, but if someone is giving you cash, you need to accept it, because that's proper US legal tender. You can't technically refuse cash IIRC. This is fairly common with small businesses (though maybe less so with Covid going on) SevenTenths posted... Try paying your rent in cash If you want to pay in cash, your landlord can't technically refuse it. It'll be annoying, and they'll probably make it moreso so you'll just send them. cheque or something, but they can't refuse it. Most places have easier methods of payment out of convenience, but it isn't required. |
| Topic | Should the penny be eliminated? |
| Proto_Spark 05/11/21 11:49:42 AM #17 | ClunkerSlim posted... Why? How many people will still be using cash in the next 20 years? Why bother to go through the trouble of removing it when society is already phasing it out? I prefer using cash personally. It gives me a more physical limit on how much I would personally like to spend, whereas with a card I'm much more willing to spend a little bit extra on whatever. I haven't used cash in like, a year+ thanks to covid, but I'm going to go back to it once things are less horrible. Also technically no place is required to take payments via credit/debit or something like NFC. Cash is the only thing every business is 100% required to take if you're physically there. |
| Topic | Resident Evil 6 any good? |
| Proto_Spark 05/11/21 11:33:22 AM #63 | Veggeta X posted... I don't get this critic. The game has had control and clunkiness since the first game. You had to get use to the controls all re games. Why is re6 the one that gets the most hate for it? Same thing as with th inventory system. It's like all of a sudden people decided to pick re6 to stand up and protest against with these "issues". I think its because 6 is such a more action-y game. You need lean in more on the controls to run around doing action hero **** than you did in 2 walking around a police station. Again I think its just so much of a difference from what people "wanted" from an RE game, like the survival horror stuff from the first few games and most recent few games. I can't really blame anyone for that. The biggest caveat with RE6 is "stop treating it like an RE game" |
