Because we're living in the age of disinformation.

This. The "I do my own research" crowd always manages to latch onto the wrong information

My main issues with Sword and Shield are:

• Pokemon models are tried from 3DS games. This was especially disappointing because it was the first mainline game to not be handheld only. And they cut corners.
• There was no voice acting. I know Pokemon games have never had voice acting, but it's become especially noticable with how many scenes they have now where there should be sounds. Like the Piers concert, where all you hear from him are the sounds of his shoes tapping on the ground and the mic feedback.
• The story had a ton of things happening in the background, but you never find out about it because the characters keep telling you to let the adults handle it. So the villain at the end comes out of nowhere. Huge wasted opportunity with the story for not letting the player get involved into the end.

I've been using wired Xbox controllers made by PowerA. After 4 years, my first controller from them started having unresponsive buttons, so I replaced it with another from the same brand

Ew neither.

I remember being at my brothers one time and it smelled like something died when he took off his son's diaper. I asked how the hell he could stand it. He simply replied "I'm the dad. It has to be done."

Yeah I totally get TC joking about the smell. Some of my son's diapers smelled terrible.

You know the philosophy of Why should I make my bed if Im just going to sleep in it tonight?

Same holds true for diapers.

Not changing the diaper is the opposite of what you want to do...

Is Gob the British guy who lives in Vietnam? Or have I got them mixed up with someone else?

No. That's Glob. "Gob" is Gobstopper, they're just shortening his name.

Because fixing all of that isn't my goal in life. I just want my family and I to live comfortably.

Eh, that's my fault. I was one of the main ones posting in it. To be fair, I wasn't in the mood to post horny for a while after seeing the election results.

Nah, I stopped posting as much as well. The blame isn't only on you

Every now and then I'll mention something from here. So she's aware of CE's existence.

Yeah, as much as I would love for Republicans to try that and find out just how much they need us, it's not really feasible.

Sorry to hear that man. It's rough. My dad is getting the early stages of that now and we've been trying to improve his diet to slow it down. My gf's grandmother also had it and she was really bad at the end. Couldn't even remember her kids and grandkids.

I should go to sleep at 10pm to get a full nights sleep. I often end up staying up until like 1am though lol.

The sad thing is that this is actually better than I expected since I heard they had severely reduced the charges.

I wouldn't call it severely reduced. It's still a first class felony. It's just not the potential life sentence from a second degree murder.

It sucks, but as others have said, because it's Florida, they would have had a hard time getting the jury to convict her on the murder charge. So they went with a lesser charge to make sure it stuck.

Lmao wow that sounds like a shitty company just from that one question having a "wrong answer"

Who is getting their groceries from China?

Yeah we get some fruit from Mexico but isn't 99% of what people buy at the grocery store made here?

No lol. We import a ton of food from other countries. Just listing what we get from Mexico alone is a long fucking list of fruits, vegetables, meats, nuts and sweeteners. But we also import food from countries like Canada, Chile, Guatemala, China, India, Italy, Spain, Thailand, Brazil, New Zealand, Australia

Eh, I knew them for Lost Kingdoms and Tenchu. Both of which were great.

Eh, I wouldn't count them for Tenchu, personally. The first 2 games were developed by Acquire. Then K2 became the developer and From Software bought the publishing rights. They only developed 2 of the 9 games in the series.

Assuming he is even able to be able to do this. In his first four years, he couldnt get anything done at all. Remember the border wall?

No you don't understand. The border was the most secure it's ever been during his first term. So much so that the amount of immigrants coming in from Mexico continued to increase during his presidency. That's why we need Trump to take care of the border again /s

They will 100% blame Biden. We already saw it with Trump's first term. Anything bad was because of Obama and anything good was thanks to Trump (even when it was actually because of Obama).

No, never knew about Evergrace or Kingsfield until recently. I knew From Software as the company that made the best action mech games. Between them and SquareSoft (Front Mission), I was in Mech heaven from the PS1 to PS2.

Yeah ive seen many people saying it overstayed its welcome but i easily couldve played much more of it.

Its the opposite of how i feel about persona 5, which i wanted to end soon for like the last 30-40 hours of the game

I didn't feel like it overstayed it's welcome at all. But maybe I'm just used to long JRPG's? I put 131 hours into it and the only reason I didn't put more time into it with new game+ is that there are other games I want to finish. I will definitely be going back to it though.

No vacations planned. My plan is to get a place with my gf next year. Haven't really thought of anything beyond that yet.

I loved it. Really fantastic game from start to finish.

Happy Thanksgiving

Nope. Thankfully I haven't had a job that works Holidays in about 10 years.

Those look great. You're worrying over nothing

Wow mother of 4. That poor family

I'll say that if you've never played a Person's game before then try not to let the time management stress you out too much. It can be a lot to juggle at first.

Generally speaking, you want to finish the dungeons as soon as possible in as few days as possible (finishing the first dungeon in 1 day will be tough due to running out of MP).

And if you want to use a guide, then do it and don't let anyone give you a hard time about it. It's all about making the game enjoyable for yourself. Not playing how others believe you should play.

I'd say play 2 and that's it. It's the best game in the franchise by far. Both the main story and the DLC are great.

Xenogears15 posted...

...whoever designed the final stretch of the game to lock you out of realistic grinding (as in, enemies that actually give you decen EXP) once you reach a certain point? That was terrible game design.

I just completed the "final" dungeon, and now finding out that the only place I can use to grind up for the actual final dungeon is a place that gives very little EXP and AXP is absolutely atrocious. I'm not going to reload my save from a few days back, but lemme tell you, it is fucking tempting.

Rant over.

TC, just start the actual final dungeon and grind in there. It's the best place to grind in the entire game

We have two. The building is really small and cramped and the lobby is not open to customers due to a gunpoint robbery a few months ago.

That's so bizarre to me. But it does sound like you got lucky with how chill the job is. That's a good thing though.

I worked at McDonald's like 12 years ago and it sucked so much. We had to stand unless we were on break, so my feet were killing me after every shift. And the store was incredibly busy every single day. Week days were a little better because there were a few slow spots throughout the day, but weekends were hell. Some Saturdays we never had a moment where there were 0 customers.

Super_Slash posted...

Currently Dominos is mostly the same way, and we get very little customers so far. At least at the drive thru window.

Wait what? Your Domino's has a drive thru window? I've never seen that with any pizza place, ever.

Yeah they're definitely sticking their head in the sand. Can't act like there's no more racism when we have literal neo Nazis marching around with Nazi flags. A group of them just made the news last week in Ohio.

What the fuck? Fuck him and the horse he ride in on.

Kisai posted...

Yeah, $400 worth of DLC is fucking insane. I'd like it to be even lower than $100, but I guess it's still better than the original price.

Yeah $100 is still a lot.

Phanir posted...

Nay. I originally wanted to, but its release dropped at a terrible time for me with other games I wanted more. Still can't justify getting it for this discounted price for the same reason. Maybe late next year.

Ah okay. Well nothing wrong with waiting.

Tropicalwood posted...

They'll just rerelease Metaphor in a year or two with new characters and an extra couple hours of story after the end of the game like they always do.

They're supposed to be done doing that. I choose to believe them lol

Is it enjoyable for someone that never played the first game? The game was on my radar when it released, but I just never bought it

Phanir posted...

My coworker did warn me I was better off just watching a Youtube video on it, but I'm in too deep. Bought the pass earlier and hopefully it's the last time I give Atlus/Sega money until Persona 6. Still pissed this pass exists after buying the premium edition of the game.

Have you already played Metaphor? Because that's a good reason to give Atlus some more money XD

Kisai posted...

That's tempting, if only for Cities Skylines DLC.
https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/a/a9dea023.jpg

Jesus. I didn't realize cities Skylines had $400+ in dlc. That's way too much

That sounds sketchy as fuck. They'll likely just harvest your organs and ditch you somewhere

A slim majority of the United States looked back on the year 20-fucking-20 and believed the country was better off then than in our current year. It's safe to assume at this point that no one remembers a damn thing about Trump's first term.

They remember it. They just stupidly believe that all of the problems during his presidency were the fault of Democrats

deupd_u posted...

I didn't think I'd need to clarify these, but okay: yes, they had sex. And yes, 2 people getting drunk and smashing is just a party.Though I was pretty drunk at the time, myself, and even I wouldn't have taken her home like that. Him being absolutely sober and saying "who cares if she's drunk" scared the hell out of me.

Yeah that's predatory. I agree with pointing out to your friend that what he did was rape and he's lucky she was cool about it. He could have easily been going to jail right now.

Why was he sober anyway? Was he your DD?

That will be a colossal waste, which unfortunately makes it that much more likely.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]

Same thing they said about deportation probably "It's okay because he's only going after the criminals"

Nice, a majority of my wishlist is on sale. Time to grab some games

gamepimp12 posted...

I mean its easy to think of it as a statistic when you havent almost lost friends in these kind of situations

I didn't almost lose a friend. I did lose a friend. My best friend's little sister died during birth last year. I'm not saying it never happens.

I'm Black and most of the moms in my life are also Black (including my son's mom). So believe me, I get the challenges they face. But you seem to have a lot of hangups about that in particular. The focus should be on minimizing the potential risks your partner would face

Yes.

Donald Trump is the villain but obviously he's secretly being controlled by God who is evil

Hell yeah, sign me up

Oh but Dolores can keep Bruno's secret that whole time huh? Rude

That depends... Do I become the main character?

There are non Japanese characters in jrpgs

There's also mods that stop settlement attacks altogether. You would need to find one that wasn't broken by Bethesda's updates though.

Not to mention the fact that because I date black women and the medical climate black women find themselves in, I find it increasingly important to be able to provide in multiple ways.

So... You are aware that, while the mortality rate of pregnant black women is significantly higher than other other races, it's still a very very low percentage, right? That's not something to worry about to the extent that you are. It's just something to be aware of, but not a constant concern.
