| Topic | Sony is so infuriating when it comes to these Spider-Man movies |
| Kuuko 04/05/22 12:13:39 AM #22 | Sony is desperately trying to do their own cinematic universe using only Spider-Man characters but they keep accidentally making them all bad movies and can't even easily incorporate Spider-Man into it and it's all only just barely hanging on to a thread because Venom 1 was for some reason sort of successful even though it wasn't a particularly great movie either. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |
| Topic | Elden Ring dominating poll of the day! |
| Kuuko 03/31/22 1:14:00 PM #26 | Prestoff posted... I'm glad Draven won instead of the two same characters, Link or Cloud. Draven at least has personality unlike the other 2 typical blond hair blue eyes protagonist.I agree but to be fair Cloud actually does have a pretty unique and wild character arc in FF7. He's just stereotyped as boring and stoic and edgy because that's how he is in Kingdom Hearts and even kind of in Advent Children. Link shouldn't ever win any character polls though, if the character poll is actually about the character and not just "vote for your favorite game series this character represents". --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |
| Topic | What happened to the game boards topics from way back in 2005>? |
| Kuuko 03/29/22 10:29:19 AM #15 | KhlavicLanguage posted... what games out of curiosity?Well, a bunch - but recently I'm into the DemiKids games on the GBA and it's a decent example. Actually this is a more fortunate example than others because although they're not very popular the games do get a little extra attention by being connected to more popular Shin Megami Tensei games. But in any case, the FAQs there are extremely barebones and a lot of good knowledge is only preserved in late message board posts. Actually I had to wayback machine to see some of those good posts there too because some posts get deleted for whatever various reasons. Who knows for sure but I'd bet there was a good bit of helpful info posted pre-2008 closer to when the games came out and would've had an audience. In Japanese games like this it's often useful to navigate the Japanese side of the web and see if they document it better than us but that can be hit or miss too. I've imported guide books in a couple cases to see info that's not documented well on either side of the web. Last resort for me is sometimes even when a game is otherwise obscure, there might be a small dedicated speedrunning community that documented some good info. But I'm really a completionist and their knowledge would obviously be less geared to completionism and more towards quicker strategies. But dedicated speedrunners are the ones who dig up game mechanic nuances the most I think. Also, speedrunning info these days often just gets dumped in various discord servers which is even worse for preservation than gamefaqs boards are... --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |
| Topic | What happened to the game boards topics from way back in 2005>? |
| Kuuko 03/27/22 5:47:32 PM #8 | It is pretty sad. I play a lot of early 2000s games without active communities now and a lot of strategies people figured out are kind of lost to time and need to be rediscovered if they weren't documented in an FAQ. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Topic | Jordan peele's early work basically influenced Get Out |
| Kuuko 03/16/22 4:03:55 PM #16 | IShall_Run_Amok posted... I like how a lot of Monty Python sketches get just a little bit long in the tooth, and then fucking end because they can't be assed to come up with a conclusion. Like, "nope, joke's over, in fact it probably overstated its welcome, so here's a cartoon linking us to the next sketch".Seems like a common problem in sketch comedy that endings are hard. More egregiously, in the earlier seasons of Whitest Kids U Know there's multiple sketches where they basically tell their audience they don't know how to end it, then bring on a censored naked woman and tell you to buy the DVD to see her uncensored. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |
| Topic | Hillary Clinton says NO to 2024 presidential bid |
| Kuuko 03/15/22 7:15:26 PM #29 | Chunkey Simmons posted... Is this a surprise? Most politicians don't bother running a second time when they lose the first time. When they lose once, their political career is badly impacted forever. The one and only exception would be Nixon, but he also tried to fake his way into a re-election. Who knows what he did to get elected from the start.This isn't a surprise but I don't think your reasoning here is why. Hillary literally did run twice with the first being in 2008. Biden ran three times before winning (but the first was pretty removed from the second). Romney ran twice before becoming nominee. Bernie ran twice. And a bunch of other rando's in the recent primaries in both parties have been in the background a few times --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Topic | Are Zack Snyder fanboys the worst in all of cinema? |
| Kuuko 03/15/22 5:09:35 PM #6 | I don't think I've interacted with this class of Zack Snyder fanboys very much so I don't know, but I do think it's pretty weird that apparently some group of people somewhere spent years campaigning for a mediocre extended re-cut of an already mediocre movie. Both Justice League movies were so fucked and I say that as a DC fan who really wanted to like them. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |
| Topic | Remember in Gold/Silver when your mom would just steal your money and buy shit |
| Kuuko 03/15/22 4:18:58 PM #7 | It was a weird feature. Basically a second wallet to put your money, except most people probably wouldn't ever fill up their regular wallet to the max so it's just needlessly dividing your money into a place where you would need to manually grab it if you want it. The only real purpose is that some of the room decorations and things can only be bought by your mom when she gets a certain amount of money, but I wonder how many people knowingly did it for that reason. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

I was watching C-SPAN this weekend when they were doing the hearing on this and there were pretty decent arguments for one or the other. It is worth a listen to I think. But the point is either is much, much more preferable than the back-and-forth we do now. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Topic | Been watching a lot of streamers who never played a souls game play Elden Ring |
| Kuuko 03/14/22 1:26:03 PM #9 | I think a lot of the people fervently arguing for difficulty options might be surprised that souls games aren't as impenetrable as the marketing or hype around the games would have you believe. You do die a lot but it's not "super duper hardest game ever for hardcore gamers only", which is the reputation the series developed. And From kind of leaned into it when they name things like "Prepare to Die Edition". But the games are a lot more accessible than a lot of people who haven't played them would think, and the wide appeal of Elden Ring is showing that now. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Topic | How badly do consolidation loans affect your credit score? |
| Kuuko 03/07/22 6:20:20 PM #4 | It's unlikely to significantly affect your credit score positively or negatively. Maybe it could affect it if your loans are some of the older accounts in your credit profile and thus having one new loan replacing them lowers the average age of your accounts. But if you can lower the interest rates you're paying by consolidating then that's much better than any minor impact it would have. The point of a good credit score is to save you money so it's generally counter-intuitive to pay more money for a higher score, especially when the difference in score is negligible --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |
| Topic | DC's problem is they keep casting actors far better suited for villain roles |
| Kuuko 03/07/22 4:19:05 PM #9 | I think Pattinson's Batman was pretty good. It was just playing a different persona of Batman than the other movies and maybe different than the persona some people's first idea of Batman is. You can represent Batman from so many different angles and center a story around an angle - he's all of a super detective and maybe computer hacker, or super martial artist, or billionaire who makes tanks and mecha armor who fights aliens, or maybe he's almost a super scientist himself, or you can make a story emphasizing his fatherly relationship with his robins and batgirls, or emphasize his tragic backstory and the corresponding mental disorders they've given him (especially juxtaposed with his often similarly mentally ill villains). Bale's Batman was more billionaire martial artist Batman. Less detective, and when he's alone or chatting with Alfred he even seemed kind of upbeat all things considered. I don't think we really saw a lot of development out of Affleck's Batman since he was sharing movies but to me it was mostly the billionaire scientist alien-fighting Batman. Pattinson's was all-in on detective, mentally tortured Batman. More grounded than Bale's and certainly Affleck's. It didn't even really play up the martial artist side - random mooks were getting hits on him. Probably not going to see him fighting parademons with bat-laser-guns like in Justice League. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |
| Topic | Jim Sterling video on Elden Ring: ''The Tiresome Dance of Git Guddery'' |
| Kuuko 03/01/22 11:50:13 AM #41 | GranolaPanic posted... Sterling is right about this. The sheer amount of elitism and superiority that exists from the Souls community is astounding. A new player cant even ask for advice on these games without getting insulted for it. Its far worse than just saying nonsense like git gud. They actively hate any newcomer that wants to try and get into this genre.If anything I think it's the literal complete opposite. Whenever I see someone playing a Souls game for the first time Souls fans are rushing to overload the new player with tips and knowledge, almost to the point where I think it might ruin a new player's organic experience. Like explaining in DS1 how to get the Drake Sword or to kill the Undead Merchant for his Uchigatana and explaining nuanced mechanics about weapon scaling unwarranted. The only time a player would be anything close to admonished is if they were complaining about the game being unfair and their deaths being the game's fault rather than the player's fault. Everyone dies in Souls games a lot, but patience and thinking about what you could've done to avoid death is what the game mechanics are centered around. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |
| Topic | Do you think there could be riots after the midterms? |
| Kuuko 02/28/22 10:17:53 PM #5 | Probably not. Democrats hold the weakest possible majority they could have in the legislature as any bill requires all 50 Democrats in the Senate to sign on and as it is Senators Manchin / Sinema consistently side with conservatives. It's difficult to imagine that indeed if the Democrats performed poorly in the mid-terms that anyone would be very emboldened about the change. Things would just be slightly more halted than they are now. --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |
| Topic | Is there a Pokemon game where your skill is actually globally acknowledged? |
| Kuuko 02/28/22 11:36:10 AM #14 | Not main Pokemon obviously but the GBC Pokemon TCG2 game takes place right after Pokemon TCG1 where you would have defeated that game's Elite Four and so everyone in the second game kind of knows you're a badass already TCG2 was never officially translated but it has a fan-translation and I highly recommend it --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

Here's an old video where he exposes a dude doing the same thing as the guy in the OP video - claiming to be able to move things with his mind but really just blowing on it with his mouth (although the guy in Randi's video is much better at it than the guy in the OP) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7CASghTzNhc --- http://i.imgur.com/dzGMd.png |

| Kuuko 02/25/22 11:45:21 PM #3 | Well Russia still literally poisons candidates running against Putin so unlikely any amount of failure will lead to a democratically-elected change.

Probably never happen though you are probably just an internet tough guy. I doubt very seriously you would say that to someones face. Just my thought.What do you think.
