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. |

Philip027 05/10/24 12:56:29 PM #46 | Meh. I am probably one off about my own age sometimes. Who cares |
Topic | company has mass layoffs does not tell employees if they lost their job or not |
Philip027 05/10/24 12:40:36 PM #15 | I'll refrain from mocking you like most everyone else is going to, and just tell you to play the Portal games. You're missing out |
Topic | Getting the difficulty settings in Pokemon Black/White 2 is stupid. |
Philip027 05/10/24 1:49:35 AM #6 | I'm pretty sure whoever designed that was the same guy who made it so you needed to obtain a (easily overlooked) key item to unlock the volume settings in Sword/Shield |
Topic | Microsoft CEO Phil Spencer's Fallout 76 camp nuked by players |
Philip027 05/09/24 6:45:35 PM #43 | From what I remember of this game, levels past a certain point mean little to nothing, especially once you have enough for every card you want in your build. Unlike previous games, levels also don't give you any increase to max HP, so even at level 1200+ you're still just about as killable as level 120. |

Philip027 05/09/24 3:03:17 PM #31 | So what you're saying is, there's still a chance I could be the first. |
Topic | Is 30fps in a video game acceptable to you? |
Philip027 05/09/24 1:37:25 AM #43 | I really don't care if it's 30 or 60 as long as it's consistent. |
Topic | Unlimited Gas or Unlimited Cell Phone charge |
Philip027 05/08/24 1:52:35 PM #24 | I don't drive, so... cell phone charge I guess. |
Topic | What's a worse game mechanic? |
Philip027 05/07/24 8:03:16 AM #77 | specialkid8 posted... For the people complaining about BOTW: weapons breaking was a huge point of the entire combat system. There are so many tools and systems in the game they wanted you to engage with rather than just running around swinging a sword at everyone. And potentially getting caught empty handed so you had to think of some crazy shit on the fly is the whole point. Still doesn't make the system fun, which is kind of the entire point of a video game. |

Topic | Have you ever had an MRI done? |
Philip027 05/05/24 5:35:52 AM #41 | Yes. I have some sort of pituitary gland growth that they wanted to monitor. I don't really experience "claustrophobia" from just enclosed spaces alone; there also needs to be a lot of people/overcrowding. Which might not actually be designated the same thing as claustrophobia; I'm not sure. |
Topic | Would you go to a 'all phones are banned' nightclub or bar? |
Philip027 05/05/24 3:20:42 AM #43 | Sounds dumb and something for potential predators to take advantage of. Not that I would ever want to go to any nightclub anyway. |
Topic | First boss fight of a game - which enemy comes to mind first? |
Philip027 05/02/24 3:24:20 PM #67 | Whiterun_Guard_ posted... Can you defeat real bowser with fireballs? And what sprite shows if you do if not a goomba? Yes you can, and the one in 8-4 doesn't show any other sprite. That's why it's the real Bowser. The main difference between him and the fakes is that he also chucks a ton of hammers. |

Topic | Zelda: Twilight Princess... Good game or nah? |
Philip027 04/29/24 6:37:28 PM #13 | I thought it was great. Pretty much the last Zelda game that I enjoyed tbh. |
Topic | Does this shirt remind you of Missingno? |
Philip027 04/29/24 12:56:41 AM #9 | No, just TV static. In order for it to remind me of Missingno it really needs Missingno's shape, that Tetris-block-reject looking thing. |
Topic | Are you able to sleep "sitting up?" |
Philip027 04/27/24 6:40:50 PM #4 | Yes, but generally not very well in moving vehicles. I have to be on another level of tired for that. |
Topic | "College is an education in bullshit" |
Philip027 04/27/24 11:01:20 AM #25 | I won't go as far as to say I could have wrote this myself, but I do agree that college is dumb. It was for me, anyway. |
Topic | Do you have a lot of friends of the opposite sex? |
Philip027 04/25/24 10:59:54 PM #12 | GranTurismo posted... difficult to relate to? how though? They overall became the macho/pervy sort of stereotype, very obsessed with sports, girls, sex, etc. I couldn't relate to this sort of thing, as someone who's asexual and generally very introverted. |
Topic | Do you have a lot of friends of the opposite sex? |
Philip027 04/25/24 10:09:57 PM #3 | Yes, that's been true for me ever since adolescence. Male peers started to become very difficult for me to relate to around that point. |
Topic | Have you ever tried online dating? |
Philip027 04/25/24 6:30:59 PM #42 | I wouldn't really call it "dating" because that isn't really something I do, but yes, I'm no stranger to relationships that started online. They're the only kind of relationships I've ever had, including my current marriage. |

Philip027 04/24/24 8:43:31 PM #28 | pjnelson posted... Hold your breath. Keep holding it until you think you can't hold it any longer, then continue holding anyway. Yeah, this is what I do, although I don't really do it to the point of discomfort. I just exhale, inhale deep again, and repeat a few times. |
Topic | What does the (D) in Dtoast stand for anyways? |
Philip027 04/24/24 1:32:32 AM #51 | It stands for [DATA EXPUNGED] |

Philip027 04/23/24 6:44:56 PM #39 | MaxEffingBemis posted... Were talking about the leg bounce thing? Do people in Japan just not have anxiety or something? Oh, they do. It's just "impolite" to display it. I say screw that. |
Topic | What RPG made you like the genre |
Philip027 04/23/24 6:35:46 PM #39 | My first one, FF6. Wasn't really aware of the genre before that so I had no preconceptions. |
Topic | Final bosses that will kick your ass |
Philip027 04/23/24 12:50:29 AM #90 | Ivany2008 posted... Because that isn't the final boss. Square-Enix has a habit of putting ridiculously easy final bosses as the actual final boss, while the story final boss is the second to last boss. The final boss was Nobody really counts him because he isn't meant to be lost to (since you have unlimited auto-revives at this point, the only way you can "lose" is by inflicting petrification on your own characters) or pose any real gameplay challenge whatsoever. His "fight" is basically a playable cinematic to wrap up the story. BFA is clearly meant to serve the "final boss" role, the last potential challenge in the game that the player might reasonably lose to -- so even if he isn't technically the last fight, he's still going to be what's remembered. But yeah, that is something Square Enix does a lot. masterpug53 posted... Raven Beak in Metroid Dread is the only standard final boss I can think of that I couldn't beat. I threw myself at him for several hours, became aware that I hadn't succeeded in getting past even the first phase of four, and completely gave up. To be honest, the first phase I find to be the trickiest because you cannot progress the fight without melee countering, and because of his shielding it's not entirely clear to everyone on how to trigger it or when it even happens. So if it's any consolation, you were stuck on what I'd say is the hardest part of the fight. |
Topic | C/D: When playing by yourself, you cheated in Mario Party. |
Philip027 04/22/24 10:44:37 PM #13 | Actually, now that I think about it, I do remember at some point reading about the "trick" of switching all the CPUs to human players on the last turn of the game, so that after the game was over you would collect all of the coins/stars the CPUs had gathered. But this was years after I'd basically finished my time with MP1, so I never put this to use. |

Topic | You know what I hated about school? All the trivia. |
Philip027 04/22/24 8:18:01 PM #2 | Why are you testing me on trivia instead of how to do chemistry? That's school's gimmick in a nutshell. Wasting your time/money/brainspace with platitudes instead of things that will actually be useful for the next generation to know. |
Topic | Have you ever had an online girlfriend? |
Philip027 04/22/24 5:33:46 PM #43 | The only kind of girlfriend I've had was online. I preferred it that way, because I was never really big on physicality or in-person obligations. |
Topic | Metroid Prime 4 is approaching 7 full years of development since announcement |
Philip027 04/22/24 2:59:07 PM #61 | It's very obvious to me that it's being saved for the Switch's successor, which likely happened because of the restarted development, and not wanting to force a long-distanced-from-the-series Retro Studios to have to work on (as) underpowered hardware (which wouldn't surprise me if that was at least part of the reason why the development got restarted in the first place) I'll definitely still play it, but I'm not super eager/hyped over it, so it doesn't matter to me how long it's been taking. Prime was clearly originally intended to just be a trilogy with the 3rd game having a sense of finality (aside from that one little 100% completion post-credits stinger scene which it wouldn't even surprise me if it ends up not even being a plot point in Prime 4), so frankly Prime 4 just comes off to me as a sort of extra/DLC content overall rather than some long-awaited proper continuation to an unfinished story. |

Then he said something like "If I have to apologize, I'm leaving the show." I remember that something like this happened with one of the kids tournaments (which is surely why they stopped doing them) |
