Because it's a weird fixation on a childrens cartoon..... I told myself I wasn't going to touch this dumpster fire of of a topic, but I'd like to reiterate that there is an ocean of gray area between completely sexless media and porn, and it's really unsettling that so many people nowadays don't seem to grasp that. --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. |

Tom and Jerry, which sucks because that particular movie played a huge role in my childhood. I too watched that movie quite a bit as a kid, can even remember some of the song lyrics to this day. In a bubble it isn't half-bad - the two villains and their dog were the best part of the movie (not surprising that Tony Jay's evil butler is the only thing anyone remembers about the movie via the 'we've got to have money' meme). --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. |

| Topic | Playing through Trials of Mana for the first time (original version) |
| masterpug53 02/16/24 12:14:39 PM #5 | Glad to hear Kevin was a good pick in the long run, I had a nagging concern that the game would eventually throw a wall up and make 'punching the hell out of shit' no longer effective.
I haven't leveled up enough yet to change classes (think I was lvl. 11 at the Wind Stone), but I wasn't aware there was a light / dark dynamic at play there. Does the game have any moral consequences for going 'dark?' And yeah, I've heard the 3D remake is very good (didn't hear very good things about the SoM remake by comparison), and definitely plan to give it a spin. But I wanted to do my kid self a favor and give the OG version at least one playthrough first. EDIT and thanks for the tip about the Night Market. I scrolled through those items but wrote them off because I assumed they wouldn't be very effective (plus by nature I generally don't rely on consumables when they're optional). --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. |

| masterpug53 02/16/24 11:44:34 AM #1 | As in the non-remake version included with the Collection of Mana pack.
Secret of Mana was one of my favorite games growing up as a kid (even if most of its flaws were apparent even then). It crushed me that the sequel never made it stateside during the SNES's lifetime, and I never bothered to track down a [legitimate download] of Seiken Densetsu 3 over all the years I kept hearing about it. I dl'ed the Collection when it first became available, but had been putting off finally playing it until about a week ago. Seems...pretty fun, so far. Kid-me probably would've been gaga over it. It's definitely a more tightly-crafted game than SoM. I just wrapped up meeting

| Topic | Do you find local maps in Fallout to be confusing? |
| masterpug53 02/16/24 11:14:39 AM #4 | Smackems posted...
That's been a Bethesda thing since at least Oblivion I can't remember how good or bad this aspect was in Oblivion, but yeah, at least since Fallout 3 the local / interior maps have been fucking useless. Only value they have is to tell you whether or not you're vaguely near an exit. I can only speak from user-end experience, but I think it's because they're auto-generated from the terrain instead of being hand-crafted, so most of the time you're just going to get an indecipherable hodgepodge of monochrome textures (how I know this is that when I use an editor mod to add / remove furniture to a player home in Skyrim, the new furniture and rugs will then be visible on the local map). --- Simple questions deserve long-winded answers that no one will bother to read. |

In the film A Few Good Men, Demi Moore's character uses the phrase in an objection, and then it's pointed out that it's a meaningless phrase that only serves to make them look bad to the court.
