Panthera posted... Don't check the topic about it on the Switch board then. And definitely don't check the comments on his community post on his channel. Three Houses board has if anything been one of the less shitty places, and that's saying something with how much that topic has made me want to punch something Grimlyn posted... christ I went to check and you weren't kidding, what a fucking hellholeThere isn't anything wrong nor misogynistic about defending yourself and avoid being used by a creep. I applaud such people who keep themselves away from danger. Do none of you believe in preventive measures? |

Nintendogs 07/04/20 12:13:19 PM #192 | StartTheMachine posted... I can't be the only one who went to a high school where 18 year old seniors were dating 14 year old freshman, can I? I can think of 3 different open, very public relationships like this that were happening my freshman year, all of course with the guys being the seniors and the girls being freshman. Being a bit weirded out by this was one of the first things I remember thinking about the dating scene in my school.You're gonna be shocked to know that stuff like this has happened throughout human history. |

Nintendogs 05/26/20 11:45:07 PM #257 | *claps at Ulti's The Last of Us writeup* That was beautiful there. I tip my hat towards you for telling the truth. Well done. *tips hat* And for the SJW's that claim that Captain Marvel did something revolutionary by merely starring a superheroine, they forget that there were two other recently-released movies that each starred a strong woman and were based on a comic: Wonder Woman and Alita: Battle Angel. As your list has shown, we've always had strong and likeable female characters throughout history without pushing political correctness, and will continue to do so in the future. That said Ulti, I still feel that that SJW's remain in significant strength today, even if many consumers have displayed their rejection on some of their works. An accurate observation IMO is that Social Justice Warriors are the secular left-wing equivalent of the fundamentalist Christians that made their voices from the 70's to the 00's that considered the likes of Harry Potter to be satanic. But I find SJW's more dangerous, because while those Christians were mocked, SJW's have been influential and backed up by various celebrities, journalists, politicians, universities, corporations and other organizations. Just look at this article for an example: https://www.player.one/style-savvy-fashion-forward-kind-really-sexist-549942 Or an even more egregious example is so-called "feminist glaciology", published by the University of Oregon (the second link is a reaction to such an article): https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0309132515623368?journalCode=phgb https://nationalpost.com/news/world/heres-why-an-article-about-feminist-glaciology-is-still-the-top-read-paper-in-a-major-geography-journal What also makes them more troublesome is that if we call them out on their BS, they will label us as alt-right Trump supporters. If SJW's get their way with this kind of thinking, I feel that my 1st Amendment rights, especially the freedom of thought, speech and religion, would be severely threatened and suppressed. But I will not go down without a fight. |

Nintendogs 05/24/20 10:18:03 PM #150 | KamikazePotato posted... Undertale would have a shot at winning the Best Indie contest, making it the only entrant besides Link to win more than one contest, so I'm all for it.Only if a rally and bandwagon happens. Other than that it's got too many anti-votes against it that it'll be an uphill battle for Undertale. I might take Cadence of Hyrule over it. |
Topic | Contest Stats and Discussion - Part 1363 |
Nintendogs 05/24/20 10:14:57 PM #147 | Honestly, all those indies appearing was the result of the two game series limit that resulted in many snubs like Mario 3D World and Dark Souls II. Considering that it's resulted in most of these indie games flopping by getting blown out, I don't think the rule was worth implementing IMO. |

Nintendogs 05/24/20 9:58:36 PM #234 | Even though it lost its division final match, I personally give Persona 4 Golden the Star of the Contest award. Everything aligned up for that game so well, taking advantage of rallies plus anti-voting against the Rockstar games to win, and achieving a bandwagon to get past GTAV (which is an anomaly in its commercial success) and putting up a very respectable loss against Xenoblade. It's also really weird how that division ended up when it came to the platform they were in compared to the others. I've listed in division order the platforms each of the games, and using parenthesis for re-releases: Wii U/Switch vs. 3DS/PS4 (+Switch) PC/PS3/360 vs. PC/PS4/Xbox One (two non-Nintendo AAA games) Switch vs. Switch (two Nintendo AAA games) Vita vs. Wii PC/PS4/Xbox One (+Switch) vs. PS4 PS3/PS4 vs. PC/PS3/360 (PS exclusive vs. non-Nintendo AAA game) PC/PS3/360 (+PS4/Xbox One/Switch) vs. PS3 (+PS4) PC/PS3/360 (+PS4/Xbox One/Switch) vs. DS It's odd to see Division 4 end the way it did, as the Vita never did anything notable in past polls while the Wii was known for LOL WII in the last Game of the Decade contest. To see a Wii game beat a Vita game so far in the contest is not something I expected, and judging by the prediction percentage, not many did either. It's also a reason why I consider GTAV the game equivalent of Lara Croft and Pac-Man; an absolute disgrace to its seed. It had two opportunities to prove itself and just failed to get the job done. |

Nintendogs 05/22/20 3:31:53 PM #117 | PostContestUlti posted... Imagine you're a dude who used to be able to get any girl you want. 9s and 10s all day long. You let the success get to your head, you get messed up on drugs, and after you get clean, you're really screwed up and the only thing you can attract are 1s and 2s. You have Artie Lange's nose and a meth head's skin, so you just take what you can get.I think that's a better allegory for Sonic Mania, at least when it comes to its performance in the last contest. |

Nintendogs 05/22/20 12:38:04 AM #68 | I enjoyed Sonic Adventure 1 & 2, but even then only the Sonic and Shadow levels were enjoyable (but not without flaws). The mindless shooting, treasure digging and especially fishing as Big the Cat was nothing short of a chore to play (though the multiplayer was pretty fun). I guess I'm more accurately called a "Classic Sonic" fan, since I do consider the classic Genesis games plus Mania to be the best in the series. Anyways Ulti, if Sonic isn't the "worst" fanbase to you, what is? |

Nintendogs 05/19/20 4:06:35 PM #480 | I have never seen a more Pyrrhic victory than Final Fantasy XV in this match. What should've been a fairly easy victory ended up in the most painful win I've ever seen for a game. The fact that Final Fantasy VII Remake was released days before yet allowing Hollow Knight to defy indie trends speaks a lot at what strength you have and what people think of you. It's even more embarrassing when using the raw vote totals, as it showed FFXV winning by a single digit. Final Fantasy XV was the 2014 Brazil team in the World Cup--absolutely shaky in its wins and then pummeled into the babies they were in the match where they lost. They have lived in infamy ever since. |

Nintendogs 05/18/20 6:38:37 PM #429 | Gosh, the way you write about Hearthstone reminds me of competitive Pokmon; too much RNG involved yet tries to pass itself off as a serious competitive game.

Nintendogs 05/18/20 4:51:47 PM #420 | Celeste was a microcosm for all indie games in the contest: have a amazing first impression, and then collapse and fall apart as time goes on, leading Ulti to say "Some indies looked okay, most did not." Also noted is that this match caused the last zero bracket to fail, as it got a point for picking Celeste to lose. |

Still though, the anti-votes proved decisive in its dethronement. |
