Topic | Struggling with Legends Arceus |
Philip027 06/05/24 3:14:46 PM #5 | You will never find as many iron chunks in the wild as you will want for Great/Ultra Balls and their variants; they just aren't as plentiful. If you're anything like me, you'll need to buy them by the hundreds. |
Topic | Are those dots on the Shadow Sisters eyes or red cheeks? |
Philip027 06/05/24 2:00:50 AM #4 | Umbreon posted... Also did they really change thier group name from Shadow Sirens? Yes, they're actually referred to as the Three Shadows in this version of the game (which is actually a closer translation to the Japanese version, which refers to them as the Shadow Trio) In this version Beldam outright refuses to refer to themselves as a group in any way that implies femininity -- purely to try to stick it to Vivian, who she doesn't regard as a sister and whose trans identity she does not support. |
Topic | Hypothetical: Every human over the age of 18 disappears overnight. |
Philip027 06/03/24 3:50:40 AM #9 | I wouldn't care, cuz I and everyone I care about would be dead. |
Topic | Do you like this game: Fallout New Vegas |
Philip027 06/03/24 3:48:22 AM #39 | Not really; FO3 was too slow paced for me after having played 4, and this game feels almost exactly like 3. |
Topic | Tomorrow is going to be a hella hella sad day ._. |
Philip027 06/03/24 3:07:33 AM #12 | If this is the sort of thing it takes to make someone's day "sad" they must have a pretty cushy life. |
Topic | Zelda: A Link Between Worlds... Good game or nah? |
Philip027 06/02/24 8:15:39 PM #11 | Didn't really care for it. The experience feels cheapened when you just farm up a bunch of rupees to get the vast majority of your new capabilities rather than traditionally finding them in dungeons. It ended up having the same sort of problem as BotW and its sequel (except these games took it even further and just gave you all those capabilities in the "tutorial" section and then turned you loose): being a little too open-ended for its own good. |
Topic | Every 90 seconds CHIRP |
Philip027 06/02/24 7:47:33 PM #12 | Yeah, I don't see much point in having the alarm in rooms that realistically won't ever have a fire start in them (assuming you don't do stupid crap like smoke indoors), unless your house is really really big or something. We just have one in our kitchen. |
Topic | Trump is now claiming that he never said to "Lock Her Up" |
Philip027 06/02/24 4:36:04 PM #27 | Kajagogo posted... He said locker cup He was saying "Boo-urns!" |
Topic | Hot take: If you have a dress code for your wedding beyond the basics |
Philip027 06/02/24 4:19:34 PM #133 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] I come from Hawaii. I can tell you this most certainly is a thing there (although there still are many people that are more sensible than this) |
Topic | Why do you think gaming is declining? |
Philip027 06/01/24 11:36:14 PM #11 | PowerMan5000000 posted... Too much desperation for profit instead of passion. This. This pretty much just applies to the "AAA" gaming scene though. Indies are still doing fine. |
Topic | Hot take: If you have a dress code for your wedding beyond the basics |
Philip027 06/01/24 9:38:09 AM #10 | Pushing a dress code on me at a wedding of all places is a great way to ensure I don't go. |
Topic | Do you like Ridiculousness? |
Philip027 06/01/24 2:32:57 AM #47 | xlr_big-coop posted... I love the show but hate that MTV is so addicted to money, that instead of actuallly focusing on music like days past, they'd rather play a more offensive version of afv. True, but I'll still take this show over what they did with networks like TLC. |
Topic | Replace one word in a movie's title with "butt" or "butts" |
Philip027 06/01/24 2:28:42 AM #141 | Close Encounters of the Butt Kind |
Topic | Godzilla Minus One coming to Netflix June 1st worldwide. |
Philip027 06/01/24 1:22:48 AM #2 | Minus one what? |
Topic | $10m, but if you get banned from GameFAQs you get banned from real life. |
Philip027 05/31/24 8:08:06 AM #7 | If this web sight dies that's not a ban, right? Deal if so |
Topic | Would you take advantage of a mislabeled price to save $7? |
Philip027 05/30/24 6:16:57 PM #14 | Yes, 28 bucks is already still crazy expensive. |
Topic | Do you like Ridiculousness? |
Philip027 05/30/24 1:50:02 PM #22 | Sure. I don't really care about any of the hosts, I just watch it for the clips. |
Topic | There's gonna be another titanic submarine trip? |
Philip027 05/29/24 4:19:42 PM #18 | UnholyMudcrab posted... People keep bringing up the controller because it sounds funny, but on a list of things wrong with the sub, it's way at the bottom (ba dum tsh). Game controllers are used for that kind of thing all the time. Here's the thing though, it still looks like cheap shit for the endeavor being made, and that sort of thing is usually indicative of the quality of the rest of the product. Lo and behold, it was. |
Topic | YouTube has now begun skipping videos altogether for users with ad blockers |
Philip027 05/28/24 4:15:42 PM #75 | Still having no problems with either Firefox (w/ ublock) or Brave. |
Topic | $50 Billion AS of right now but you must give up. |
Philip027 05/28/24 1:19:31 AM #31 | I already gave up ages ago, where's my money? |
Topic | Honestly it feels so fucking good to play TTYD again |
Philip027 05/28/24 12:51:37 AM #3 | TTYD = The Thousand-Year Door (second Paper Mario game on the GameCube from 2004 that recently got a Switch remaster) GaaS = Games as a Service, aka "live-service" games, aka games infamously known for releasing in an incomplete/unpolished state usually with the not-always-stated-or-fulfilled promise of "fixing" it later through updates |
Topic | Have any of you ever gone to any of your high school reunions? |
Philip027 05/27/24 7:12:16 PM #41 | No; it was the most painful era of my life. I don't care to revisit it. I never technically graduated though (went the far-easier GED route), so there isn't any reason I would be invited. |
Topic | Have you bought in game currency for a game? |
Philip027 05/27/24 6:42:20 AM #32 | I haven't (and wouldn't), but the spouse has spent a tiny bit on Pokmon Go coins. They didn't mind showing a bit of support for the game. |
Topic | I was trying to 120 star Mario 64. I have given up. |
Philip027 05/23/24 12:28:56 AM #19 | LordFarquad1312 posted... You mean the tutorial for the wing cap? LMAO Nah, he meant the mini course opposite Rainbow Ride's entrance. If I remember right, it was called Wing Mario Over the Rainbow. |
Topic | Zelda: Wind Waker... Good game or nah? |
Philip027 05/22/24 6:46:49 PM #10 | PowerOats posted... The music notes that play when you strike enemies, The term you're looking for is a flourish! And yeah, game is boss. |
Topic | When did you first beat Super Metroid? |
Philip027 05/22/24 4:34:43 PM #8 | I have no clue of the year, but I do remember that I had a hard time progressing the game at first because I kept hitting the wrong button at the "do you want to save" prompt (which counts as a "no" even if you have the cursor pointed at "yes", even though the game doesnt outright indicate this) and wondering why the game never saved and I kept having to restart from the beginning every time I died/quit. |
Topic | Metroid Fusion... Good game or nah? |
Philip027 05/21/24 6:12:46 PM #23 | PowerOats posted... Is Samus Returns the Remake? It is a remake of Metroid 2 (the GB one) |
Topic | Metroid Fusion... Good game or nah? |
Philip027 05/21/24 6:11:32 PM #21 | I didn't care for it much (tbh I haven't cared much for the new "glass cannon" approach they've been taking with Samus, which basically started in Fusion... ZM and the Prime series are the last Metroid games I've liked) but it wasn't terrible or anything. To Fusion's credit, even though it is the point where Samus starts taking ridiculous amounts of damage from almost everything, it is the game that still gives you the most energy tanks out of any Metroid game to sorta compensate. |
Topic | TV Tropes has no value |
Philip027 05/20/24 4:02:44 PM #70 | TVtropes introduced me to asexuality and its associated community, which directly led to me meeting the person who's now my spouse, so no, I'd say it was quite valuable to me. |
Topic | Elden Ring DLC or FFXIV Dawntrail expansion |
Philip027 05/20/24 1:32:08 AM #17 | I am a XIV player I didn't care for Elden Ring and dropped it after like an hour or so No points for guessing my vote |
Topic | WHat was wrong with Super Smash Bros 4? Only unpopular game in the franchise. |
Philip027 05/19/24 8:22:26 PM #36 | Link_of_time posted... I always remember hearing it was slower and clunkier than melee.So was Brawl though (and it did get flak for that) |
Topic | Have you ever expressed any sexual or romantic interest in your own sex? |
Philip027 05/19/24 4:08:56 PM #4 | Not generally so; I'm only in a bit of a weird exception circumstance nowadays because my partner eventually came out as trans. |
Topic | WHat was wrong with Super Smash Bros 4? Only unpopular game in the franchise. |
Philip027 05/19/24 3:48:46 PM #8 | Killed by hardware, imo. It was either on a handheld or on an unpopular home console. |
Topic | After five years, the Joy-con class action lawsuit has been dismissed. |
Philip027 05/18/24 10:46:19 PM #13 | PoopPotato posted... I thought they offered free repairs? They did, and from my experience, they didn't do anything. The one I got back seemed to behave no differently than when I sent it in. |
Topic | Do you consider yourself " a nice guy?" |
Philip027 05/17/24 11:47:31 PM #11 | I think I'm generally nice enough. Not with "quotation marks", or with Capital Letters, or anything like that. |
Topic | TRUTH EXPOSED! Fandom is trying to kill us! |
Philip027 05/17/24 2:41:47 PM #12 | DKBananaSlamma posted... You're missing out on a great show just because you can't see past boobs and ass? Come on man >_> When the fanservice is to the point the creators clearly consider it one of its primary selling points, to me that says something about what they've created, and in my experience it usually isn't something good. |
Topic | TRUTH EXPOSED! Fandom is trying to kill us! |
Philip027 05/17/24 6:31:05 AM #9 | Well, not that I generally consume anime to begin with, but that just ensures I won't ever be consuming this one. |
Topic | PS Plus games are not free |
Philip027 05/17/24 4:22:25 AM #2 | If I'm going to have the subscription anyway because my games' online functionality requires it, I have no issue with calling it essentially free |
Topic | When you were a little kid did your mom also work? |
Philip027 05/14/24 6:34:26 PM #21 | Single mom, so yeah, obviously. Even when she wasn't divorced yet, she still worked. |
Topic | Why popcorn for movies? Why? Why that thing? |
Philip027 05/14/24 3:26:50 PM #35 | Guide posted... Eh, this feels unfair. I can go to a movie theater and expect people to behave, although the one I go to is upscale. I've been to shitty inner city Eastwick theaters, and god, they barely even have air conditioning. There's quite a difference between complaints of behavior and complaints about... the sound of crunching popcorn, which is what this topic is about. Popcorn is like the primary concession served at a movie theater. You know it's going to be there. By going to a movie theater, you are accepting that there will be a bunch of people in the room with you and most of them will probably be having popcorn. If you don't like that, there are other ways to view movies such that you don't have to. |
Topic | Why popcorn for movies? Why? Why that thing? |
Philip027 05/14/24 3:20:01 PM #33 | AsucaHayashi posted... what a weird take. it's literally the only way to see a movie properly/legally until the home release. Not as weird of a take as willingly going to something where you know there will be loads of people and then complaining about the loads of people, imo Particularly when you yourself admit there is an alternative way to view these movies without having to deal with loads of people |
Topic | Why popcorn for movies? Why? Why that thing? |
Philip027 05/14/24 10:18:15 AM #7 | Why do people go to see a movie where they know dozens of other people will be present watching it in the same room, and then bother to complain about noise? People pay for this sort of experience, too. I've never understood it. It's one thing when it's something like airplane travel and it's necessitated, but this is a totally optional activity that's supposedly for leisure. |
Topic | Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is a year old... Good game or nah? |
Philip027 05/12/24 11:16:44 PM #50 | Meh, more of the same, and I didn't have much regard for the original. If anything, one of the aspects I found very tedious in the first game (weapon durability/management) was made even worse in the sequel due to weapons being made overall even more brittle unless you took the time to fuse something to them. |
Topic | Skyrim vs Elden Ring - is there a clear cut winner? |
Philip027 05/11/24 11:17:01 PM #15 | For me it was Skyrim; Elden Ring pissed me off into quitting real quick |
Topic | $10 million or %100 knowledge/Skill in 10 random trades. |
Philip027 05/11/24 2:24:01 PM #6 | I'll take the sure thing. |
Topic | Republican Stupidity: trans bathroom bills |
Philip027 05/11/24 1:21:48 PM #6 | No, they realize it perfectly. They want trans people to be "caught" and run into conflicts because that's how people end up committing violence against them. |
