Mario Party is the reason why I have a hatred for Luigi (he was the fortunate character for the AI).Unless you're just talking about your own experience, I don't think that's true.
Functionally, Chance Time is identical whether you land on it or somebody elseNo, there is a key difference in that you have a degree of control if you're the one who landed on it. Certainly at the start the dials are spinning slow enough that you can choose at least one of them with a high degree of accuracy (two if you're practiced at the game). If you're in the lead, you can ensure that the consequence of chance time is just a few coins trading hands; if you're last, you can ensure that the stakes are high ("swap coins and stars", for instance) and - again, if you're practiced enough to land the second dial accurately - that you're one of the participants, guaranteeing you will move up in the rankings no matter who gets hit on the third dial.
Mostly, though, I'm just using "battle" as a catch-all term for every event in the game that contributes to the progression and final outcome in some way. Some of those are more active than others, but I think it makes sense to apply the term that broadly.It's an issue of semantics, but to me I'd say that "battle" should describe an event where both players have input into the outcome, even if it's luck-based. Minigame? Battle. Single-player minigame? Not a battle. Duel? Battle. Using Boo to steal a star? Not a battle. Bowser minigame? Battle. Landing on a Bowser space in the hopes of triggering a Bowser Revolution? Not a battle.
You mean I get to report inconsiderate assholes and get paid for it? When's the next flight?
The earlier games were also pretty bad for "It's the last turn and you've been leading all game? Oops, looks like it's time to give all your stars to somebody else and there's nothing you can do to stop this." That's not strictly "winning every battle and still losing," since your overall loss is a consequence of losing that one critical battle (a loss which was entirely luck-based), but it's no less frustrating for it.I mean, is "Chance Time" really a battle? If you're not the one who landed on it, there's absolutely no input from you. It's not like you had a chance - even just one based on luck - to alter the results in any way.
Wasn't there a poll that showed the site actually trends older than you'd think?Depends on what you think the core demographic of GF is.
Outside it's chocolate but inside it's like gummy bear or jubjubes or something.That's literally Turkish Delight. It's what the chocolate bar is named for.
I did have some rather lengthy suspensions for that.Having seen some of the things you were suspended for in the past, no, you weren't.
I've been saying for years that if you aren't allowed to express one side of a discussion then discussion is not actually allowed.I've never seen anyone banned for expressing a political opinion.
tell me you know literally nothing about Japanese food without telling me you know nothing about Japanese food.Take it from someone who spent the better part of a year there, the idea that all Japanese food is raw is a western myth. At some point 30 years ago or so, someone decided that sashimi was the only thing that Japanese people ate and for some reason this perception just will not die.
There's plenty of cooked food in Japanese cuisine but a defining element of quite a lot of it is either raw or unaltered (such as dried or fermented) ingredients.No moreso than western cuisine (unless you think that all sandwiches are made with cooked ingredients or something?).
I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that you misinterpreted what happened.
Not really a fan of their food tbh. They tend to keep their ingredients in the rawest state possible.Tell me you've never eaten Japanese food without telling me you've never eaten Japanese food.
Honestly, I'm expecting this won't even change that much for most social boards in the long run, gradual death of CE aside. For the first few weeks there'll be efforts to close "political" topics, and particularly butthurt posters may be able to get rid of posts/topics they don't like by marking them as political, but long-term I doubt it'll be worth mods' time to actively police boards where nobody has any problems and stamp out political discussions and we can probably just keep posting as normal. It certainly wouldn't be the first time that official policies don't exactly amount to much (like committing to removing problematic ads), and while I expect there'll be a concerted effort to keep up appearances in the early days, I doubt it'll last.And, of course, there will be the major question (thus far unanswered by the powers that be) of what, specifically, constitutes "political" (and, therefore, banned) discussion?
Which is why many people were saying a near full on shutdown of the economy was a terrible idea and now we're seeing why. It's taking years to recover and really it never will fully recover because let's be real... these prices are never reverting back to pre covid levels. Now people are barely surviving, and in many cases, they aren't surviving. So we've effectively created a global economic crisis when many people were saying that was absurd and it wouldn't happen.No one who was paying attention was under any illusions that there would be major economic costs to the full shutdown - one does not simply mothball the economy without consequence, after all. However, I disagreed - and still disagree - that the alternative would have been any better.
His rationale is that because the loans were paid back, no harm was done and therefore Trump shouldn't be punished. Obviously, if the loans weren't paid back there'd be no question of his liability for whatever damages were incurred, but in this case it's less a matter of punishing him for causing damage and more a matter of punishing him simply for breaking the rules (rules which need to exist).It's more than that.
He's pretty bad and has hurt this country with his rampant spending and printing money, thus causing inflation (it is also because of greedy companies, but printing so much during covid came back to bite us in the ass too).If you're going to blame Biden's financial policies for inflation, you might want to consider what's happening in other countries.
tbh bugs vs daffy is gonna be the deciding match regardless of whether it's the finals or notI honestly could see Speedy potentially beating Bugs.
Longbows, +Range Skills, Boots, +Movement Skills, Teleportation Staves and Dancers are all options to deal with that, depending on the specific game in question.-Longbows are generally bad
Biggoron Sword and Great Fairy's Sword in Zelda.In what way are either of those useless?
He's not perfect, and one could levy some valid criticism against him, but a traitor he is not.I would say inciting a violent insurrection against the government and refusing to participate in the peaceful transfer of power between administrations, all because he couldn't stomach the fact that he lost the election, makes the label of "traitor" perfectly apt.
I pray every day the proof is uncovered to redeem Israel on the global stage.Might as well pray for the US to uncover those WMDs in Iraq while you're at it...
That made me realize that a billionaire could easily do the same thing with real life money. "Oh look at these supercars, let's see, I'll take that one, that one, that one, that one..."The way that conceptualized it for me was that you can easily understand how life looks like to a billionaire by just adjusting the prices of everything around you.

Sheared alpacas look like a half-assed attempt at Photoshop.The funny part is, they don't recognize each other after shearing, so immediately after a herd gets sheared, there are typically a series of fights where the pecking order gets re-established and everyone remembers who is who.
oh, right - it didn't go through; china/russia vetoed itA subsequent one did pass, much to Israel's outrage.
Sometimes, like it or not, when you're at war, you're going to hit some civilian targets by accident.Considering Israel's actions in this war, up to and including killing three of their own hostages who were waving a white flag and yelling for help in Hebrew, this *really* strains the definition of "by accident".
2 months salary.I've always wondered if those executives that only get paid a $1 salary and make all their money in stock options could get away with buying their wife a ring-pop as a wedding ring.
Bruce Wayne has been described as a trillionaire in some storiesYou know, it's kind of a sad commentary that when I was a kid (and even afterwards), this would have been laughed at as being ridiculously unreasonable, but it's honestly not that far-fetched anymore.
Sooo you're naturally laid backApparently.

Without street cars or some similar vehicle, streets would be so blocked with traffic that progress would be impossible, downtown business would be a memory, stores would be without patrons, and property would be valueless.Well, three out of four ain't bad...
And I remember the copy protection that took the form of a sheet and a red filter that you placed over it to read the code.I remember having a solid 3/4 of the TIE Fighter codewords from the instruction book memorized, because I kept misplacing it and not being able to sign in to the game.
