How do you believe the Norwegian flag looks like?

Exactly like that, except with the cross off center.

I don't think I've even seen a picture of her or even know what the complaint is against her.

If she didn't have a human name I would assume she was a video game that flopped.

Actually I AM stupid by that's not the point

But I don't recognize that flag on the left. Is it supposed to be Norway?

Any weapon you touch, you can immediately master.

It doesn't seem like a lame power at first glance, but in a more peaceful world you may as well not even have a power at all.

Weaponry is largely recreational, actually.

Consider Lars Anderson or fencing. I guess you could argue the swords used in fencing don't count as weapons. But there are other examples, like ornamental staff usage or skeet shooting.

With USB-C becoming the standard, it's not as useful anymore. But I always liked the ability to plug in a USB the right way on the first try every time.

I still use a lot of A's, so hell yeah.

The ability to tell who and where someone is taking a shit.

Could come in handy, if someone is trying to use taking a dump as a lame excuse, or is trying to make a lame excuse to hide the fact that they're taking a dump.

Whenever you're within three feet of a white shark your odds at winning the jackpot in any Las Vegas casino slot machine increases by 25%.

Does it go back down when you leave the shark's presence? If not, you could get one of those cage things and win the universe.

You can perform impossible feats but only when no-one is watching and if you leave evidence of said feat you lose the power.

I'll take it. Sounds like fun, and guaranteed not to get kidnapped and experienced on.

The ability to control the length of your fingernails

So I can literally stab my opponents from literally any range by adjusting length while pointing at them?

The ability to cause people around you to get a faint whiff of popcorn.

Easiest, most untraceable distraction ever. Imagine getting people en mass to leave and go look for the popcorn stand that doesn't exist.

Reduce people's headlight brightness by increments of 25% up to 100%. With a set timer so they don't have to replace their lights.

Driving down single lane roads at night is such a bitch because of this. Either it's a big ass truck and his headlights are level with my retinas or It's a car with those bright ass halogens or is the pure evil version which is a combination of both.

I've had to start driving with my cab light on so it isn't such a stark contrast when somebody comes driving down the road.

So that is my choice of mundane power.

Sign me the hell up

something a long the lines of always being able to tell if a quarter will come up heads or tails. Like, it's entertaining but pretty much useless

You know how many things are decided by coin toss? You'll pretty much get anything you want with this power. >_>

I can extend the shelf life of ketchup.

By a couple days.

If I had this power, I would actually be able to buy ketchup. As it is, I can't because I'll just end up throwing 90+% of it away. Of course, I'm assuming I can use the power on the same ketchup multiple times.

You can teleport, but only as far as you can jump. You are not immune to fall damage.

Unless there's a cool down time, this would still be super fast travel.

Teleportation, but you can only teleport to Bed Bath and Beyond

Sounds to me like I can teleport to any city that has one of these.

What do people think of anything? That it's the worst thing to ever happen and actively ruining the world.

Unironically using the term "western gaming" is cringe.

Well I dunno about those first four words but otherwise I agree

It's usually a couple of days. I guess they're just going through the orders ahead of mine?

Choose a genre:
Shooter
Simulator
Shooter but pretend it isn't

Choose a setting:
Lord of the Rings
Star Trek
Today

Choose a world style:
Open
Open and also empty

Now explain how you are going to make the movement feel like crap:

I havent even begun to consider anything about rendering or even anything more than using simple built in shaders lol

i barely even understand what these words mean

The short of it is, OpenGL is a graphics API, Vulkan is its replacement, and SDL is an abstraction library that prevents you from making OS-specific calls to do stuff like open windows and play audio. SDL2 only supports the old OpenGL, so Vulkan support will have to wait for version 3.

Well, sure, but still a video game character.

I'm just thinking about people I know who are not very into video games (often because they're fairly old) and imagining asking if they know/recognize characters and pikachu just seems like a more likely yes than mario to me.

and when you think about it this way, lara croft is just laughable. probably not even top 100

No, I think top 100 is a pretty safe bet. Maybe even top 20 or 30. Her impact on the hobby was enormous and still around. I mean, if it were most well-written character, she'd probably be bottom 100, but most actually well-written characters come and go in like a game or three while the iconic ones are just the ones that make you feel like an undefeatable badass or have triangle boobs.

I've made it without the cheese before. It's actually delicious AF. It's kinda like toast, but panfried.

It's only supposed to be bread, cheese, and butter. Shouldn't need extra salt unless you get that unsalted butter no one buys.

I usually do, actually.

Nah I don't buy this whole existence by contrast thing at a fundamental level. It's at best axiomatic, in a "well, because that just makes sense to me" kind of way. But I maintain that making sense to you hardly constitutes proof.

I could absolutely see if, on the contrary, contrast is not necessary to existence. For example, if we lived in a world where the only wavelength of light were exactly 575nm, this being a shade of yellow, we probably wouldn't have a concept of color. It's hard to say; maybe someone could come up with color as a thought experiment, I don't know. After all, we live in a 3D world yet and there are plenty of mathematics relating to 4, 5, 6 and up dimensional geometry.

Anyway. Supposing we didn't have a concept of color, that doesn't mean that wavelength of light isn't yellow. Just that we haven't named it.

Moichandising!

Retire and do what? No travel, no concerts, no visiting restaurants or friends or events or whatever that are more than a couple miles away. Not a life worth living IMO, but I know there are people on CE who already live like that.

1. I can buy a sick-ass grill and ribeye by the caseful and bring the friends and events to me.

I'm also a fan of the bad guy legitimately never lying.

Not so much when it comes to monologuing, because that actually kinda makes sense for an egotistical asshat to do and it does give the audience insight.

But the part where the bad guy laughs because even you don't know the secret of your past and then he tells you you are actually a hamster that's been hypnotized into thinking its human, and you laugh and say "lolno you're a bad guy why would I believe you" but then your friend is like "um... actually..."

I shudder to imagine just how soulless a modern squeenix would manage to make ff9. What sort of insanely lame kingdom hearts parallel universe time travel bullshit would they manage to slip in there

I mean

I hear you

But 9 is not really the game to apply this criticism to. Not with that final dungeon. I don't remember how it works exactly but something about going into your own memories and for some reason when they get deep enough into it, they arrive at the heart of the universe or some nonsense.

I dunno, it didn't really make sense to me so I just said sure and kept scrolling dialog.

Sounds weird to remake 9 so soon after insisting 6 will never happen.

The guy I thought of is Buckeye, whose only feat is being killed by a guy who was making his debut as a Green Arrow villain.

I think we'll be ok.
