Cost cutting if you don't count all the unnecessary plane rides, golf outings, and expensive furniture.

Oh of course, that's how every rich CEO does things. They cut costs just so they can have luxury.

I have a question for the room. Is there any reason not to deck out my entire party in cool Skells? Really I'm most worried about them blowing up their own Skells and missing the prompt to save them and then having to pay more money on top of the money I already spent. Like I had Liesel running around in a Lv.30 Hraesvelg and she never blew up once, but I want to know how possible it is.

The other characters never miss their prompt so you'll be safe decking them out in Skells. In fact it's a good strategy to give them your hand-me-downs when you have 1 insurance left since it'll never run out for them.

My mind is in some really troublesome spots, I read the topic title and thought "...jacking off and cocaine?"

To be fair you get monster parts to upgrade your armor and make meals and elixirs with

That does seem to be pretty overlooked, yeah. Even just upgrading armors once or twice makes a massive difference in the damage you take.

Though it's also incredibly easy to heal anyway.

the combat in breath of the wild is as pointless as the combat in sticker star

IMO, it's kinda that way with all Zelda games so it's not as egregious as an RPG series suddenly having pointless combat. It's probably why people aren't as harsh on the new Zelda's combat system.

Does our save data transfer to the Switch 2 version?

Yeah, it was mentioned on the Direct. Easy to overlook though I suppose.

Lemme guess, that's a much worse punishment than just vandalizing any other kind of vehicle? And they're not even going to consider increasing it to make it more fair?

This channel posted a "Complete Assassin's Creed Timeline" video three days ago (it's been privated after being called out), but was pointed out to be plagiarized from a smaller channel called TheHiddenOne, a timeline video that was released a few months ago in anticipation for AC Shadows' release. He posted comparison videos on Twitter but it was pretty blatant. The most blatant part was the beginning of the video stating that AC Shadows is about to be released despite being already out.

This calls into question their other content and if they've been plagiarizing those from other smaller channels as well.

Here's the original video if you want to support the original creator.

Another round of protests much like last Saturday's is planned for the 19th. I'd wager some bad actors might be in the mix for those and cause a ruckus which will give Trump and his goons that justification to order some military power on the protestors. And would then follow up with a martial law order on the 20th.

I don't think it's unlikely. They have been doing quite alot in broad day light and no one has stopped them. Who can? Even the Supreme Court order to return that legal citizen is being ignored. Who can stop this bullshit other than we the people?

Yeah, the rhetoric I'm seeing from the right is that the courts shouldn't have any authority over the President, so obviously nothing the Supreme Court does is gonna impact Trump's decisions.

I don't think it'll go so far as to execute people just for being Democrat, but they will definitely punish by lethal force if you dissent/protest.

Never pay full price for a Dominos pizza unless you like actually burning money for no reason. Their entire menu is designed around the mix and match deals shtuff. lol.

Yeah, I once tried to order a large pizza without a coupon and it was nearly $30, lol. Definitely only get it when you have coupons or if they have special deals going on.

I keep forgetting he had his studio take on like three projects at a time. Though I guess realistically they haven't done anything on PHYSINT yet.

Bless anybody who managed to still not be spoiled by this moment.

Dude, the last couple of times I had Domino's they fucking ruled. I understand chains aren't usually as great as local but considering where I live it's probably the best I can get. This topic is really making me hungry for pizza.

For being the religion of the oppressed, they sure are doing the oppressing.

Two Republicans already tried to kill him, he didn't declare emergencies then.

Because he wasn't President then.

Also what's with the "you're all just doomposting" business when every single thing we've "doomposted" about so far has actually fucking happened? Maybe it's time to actually believe what we're predicting and prepare yourselves.

Metal_Gear_Raxis posted...

What national emergency is underway? I mean aside from all the nonsense he's causing, but I doubt he considers that an emergency.

The idea is he'll stage a "violent protest", blame it on Democrats, and use that to declare a national emergency saying "they're planning a coup to get me killed and overthrow the government!"

It would not surprise me if Trump declared martial law on any day.

But I'm not seeing any real evidence that he'll do it on April 20th specifically.

Some are suspecting that date because of Hitler's birthday.

Assuming this is true, what gets me is that I swear I remember them re-releasing BotW on Switch with all the DLC included, whether it was a download code or not. For them to not carry that over for yet another re-release of the game is really strange.

Some episode of the Golden Girls, don't remember the context.

A Supermarket Simulator video from Game Grumps. They were talking about the difference between being smart and cool, Arin was leaning on the "cool and dumb" angle and he accidentally said a smart word, so Dan tried to shift things back to dumb by saying "Scooby-Doo Toilet."

You'll be just shocked to know that the CEO on top, Perry A. Sook, is a massive Trumper.

You know, seeing that isn't as surprising anymore, knowing that.

That's uh...that's wild. This is my own screenshot and I had to censor it myself, so it's real.
Edit: Censored more of it, had doubts if that was enough.

I guarantee that the same people who would tell other people "suck it up, this shit happens and you just have to ignore it" regarding online treatment, would turn around and go "oh my poor boy Elon, stop bullying him! :("

I've been following Robin Poe who's making both a Zelda 2-like and a Zelda 1-like (Sheep Lass), but I have no idea when he's gonna release them, lmao.

That one video of seeing every single person walking out of the theater wearing a Steve costume was funny. This isn't. I feel bad for the theater janitors who have to clean up that mess.

Makes sense she'd be coming soon. They're releasing a new version with content from the first two seasons just in time for Switch 2's release.

They're gonna stick with pricing it between $450-500 and maybe as a gesture of goodwill throw in a free year of the basic NSO tier

I assumed they already did that in order to get people to try out GameChat.

...Unless GameChat is a separate subscription.

Kinda? At my first job I assumed I got along well with a couple of other male coworkers and hung out with them occasionally, and when they were leaving for another job I asked if I could keep in touch. They declined, and then I found out shortly afterward that they only were friendly because they felt sorry for me.

That honestly hurt. It basically developed a constant doubt in my mind when striking up a conversation with someone I get along with because I always assume I'm an annoyance and don't want to be.

Took me a bit.

If Fox News is airing commercials telling you to invest in it, don't.

I assume they're still running "Buy gold/silver/other crap!" commercials.

Yeah, that's another factor to my uncertainty since they do watch right-wing news channels (sometimes/all the time, depending on the person).

Yeah, I had to ask since I'm getting some inheritance and I'm getting pressured by family to invest in gold, but I was unsure because of the volatile economy right now.

Really good game and unironically made me intrerested in what they're gonna do with the story, and Rebirth was basically that again minus a couple criticisms.

With the economy being in a wild flux I was wondering if it'd be okay to do this. Assuming of course that DOGE's grubby dirty fingers don't get their hands on the treasury of course.

This appears to be the actual source, which based on the actual reply, I'm leaning toward the rep just having no idea what they're talking about. Wouldn't be surprised, though.

Yeah. Wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo pulled something like that but I'm not taking it as confirmation.

*sigh*

You know that phenomenon where you're exposed to so much of something that it ends up not phasing you anymore? That's me with the lunacy surrounding Trump and his goons.

ImagineUsngAlts posted...

Is this even real? People are just buying any random 4chan photoshop these days. The "Switch 2 edition carts only have a Switch 1 cartridge and a download code" email turned out to be completely fake.

HashtagSEP posted...

Comments suggest videos straight up showed the DLC, so there's a decent chance this was just a customer support worker who has no actual idea.

Yeah, misinformation has been spreading so easily regarding the Switch 2 (tbh that's largely because Nintendo's communication sucks in this regard) so I'm not taking this as truth yet. IIRC, before this, future copies of Switch BotW ended up containing the DLC even if it was just a download code, so it'd be odd (but not out of the realm of possibility) for Nintendo to stop doing this for the Switch 2 version.

Enclave posted...

Basically his pals shorted the market, made their money and are using that money to buy low and then Trump pauses the tariffs to make the market go up so his pals can profit off that and then when they feel like shorting the market again he's going to implement tariffs again.

Rinse and repeat, infinite money printing for him and his pals.

The timing of him urging to buy stocks just before pausing tariffs IS highly suspicious.

Look at this petite ass.

You know Donnie, saying things will be fine every few minutes does not inspire me with confidence.

HashtagSEP posted...

It's fake, but very believable.

I'm actually relieved. But the fact it's believable is very concerning.

Can't say I'm sad about him passing, considering. I feel more for his friends and family.

I don't want Trump in any video game unless it's to make fun of him, so no.

That's exactly what'll get the countries to be willing to do business with you. Taunting them like a child.

That's sarcasm btw.

maling2000ayam posted...

when will you be moving out of your joke country?

Wish I could, but I don't have the money or ability to just uproot and vacate the country.

Yeah, 100%ing the game is rough. I'm not against them adding a bunch of side content to do but I'm hoping they handle it with a little more tact in Part 3.

AceMos posted...

indeed we got echoes of wisdom just last year

That's true. It might not reach the heights of some other 2D-style Zelda games but I feel like for those who don't like the direction of BotW/TotK it was actually pretty good.

darkbuster posted...

Most of these are one-shots, except Skull Kid, & that's mostly because of Termina.

It's worth noting that being one-shot characters did not harm the chances of other characters getting into Smash. At the end of the day what matters is popularity.

They're believing the complete lie that Trump is peddling of "billions of dollars are coming in daily."

Probably not after Trump's announcement of 50% retaliatory tariffs on China.

I would absolutely love it if they use this to actually give the series some single-player content

Yep. Mario Kart DS was a favorite of mine for a while since it had that Mission Mode that no other game in the series had, and I always wanted some kind of Adventure Mode even if it was mimicking Diddy Kong Racing's with like star-collecting and driving around a small hub world.
