Aside from some speedrunners who insist on playing on console, I thought playing emulated games was basically the standard today

There was someone in a different topic who said they don't emulate games, which is what inspired this poll.

Maybe I should have put a 10+ option...

In this context, 'emulation' refers to using emulators to play older games that aren't from the current generation. Examples: SNES games while it's the Gamecube era, or Gamecube games while it's the Switch era.

This poll brought to you by the FBI.

Emulation is extremely easy to figure out.

This is a good game.

Having never played the old game this all sounds like a massive improvement, but I wonder how fans will feel.

I played the PSP version.

This is a massive improvement. (Except for the graphics).

I've played enough gacha that sadly I look at that and I'm like, "Well if you had about 50 districts with those odds you'd probably expect one to come through!"

You're correct, but goddamn is it still nice to see

It's wild to see a major facet of online society crumple in weeks because of one billionaire throwing a temper tantrum. Twitter is probably more harmful than helpful, but being reminded of how much influence the very top percent have is jarring. Like, there are some people whose careers were based around twitter, and I don't think it was unreasonable for them to feel a sense of security about it.

Guys Trump might actually be in trouble

Bem Garrison has stopped drawing a version of Trump he is clearly masturbating to

Why does Biden always look so cool in conservative propaganda

It's really cute that the GOP thinks they can hastily shove Trump back into pandora's box like nothing happened, after having created a good 20-30% of the population that ONLY want him, and there is truly only one Donald Trump out there

Mark my word, Trump still has a stranglehold over the new voting base that he has curated through the GOP, and they cannot be easily folded back into a standard GOP mold. If the GOP tries to put Trump out to pasture there is going to be a lot of infighting; people are not going to fall in line so easily like they normally do.

There'll be infighting, and it will be harsh, but Trump will still be done by the time 2024 rolls around. People who were 'only Trumpers' will be falling in line to vote for the next R. It's how their brains work.

Trump is done. His influence has been in a continuous decline.

Funny, but also creepy how they keep adopting all the exact same phrases each other use.

Last line fucking floored me

This is the kind of crazy data hoarding that I love.

Phoenix actually has less comparative lines than I would have expected.

Democrats might legitimately gain a seat. Wow.

Guess the bug wildcard is what GA runoff looks like. Lots of split ticket voting for Kemp so possible those split ticket voters dont vote only for Warnock, but who knows

For comparison, in 2020:

Agree with everything you said. In specific:

and RCP and the media were running with the Trafalgar worldline with glee - take that Politico article where they shit on their own poll that refuted their article premise of "Dems in disarray!!!111!"

Can't find it now, but there's already articles about why these midterm results somehow hurt Biden. The media makes a lot more sense when you realize it's all owned by conservatives.

I think I called it when I said it was really hard to predict how it would go today.

Young people did in fact finally show up it seems. Thought that was unlikely because thats the rallying cry of the delusional leftist every 2 years but looks like republicans finally went crazy enough to impact their sheltered middle class life!

Broke: Young people finally showed up to the polls for the first time ever!

Woke: A lot of old people died from COVID, making younger people a higher percentage of turnout by default

I think it's going to a runoff.

Actually yeah, this is most likely. He's definitely not outright winning tonight though.

Walker is currently likely to lose.

Always think its in kind of poor taste to project when someone is currently losing even if the math says it is near certain

It feels weird but we do the same with GameFAQs contests matches all the time!

Fixed that for you

People are just so completely stupid. If they were malicious instead of idiots they wouldn't die of covid in droves taking horse dewormers

There are definitely a good number of people where their desire to be malicious encourages them to remain willfully ignorant. Stupid vs. Shitty isn't a binary thing. There's grey areas of awful.

He literally wanted his last VP hung

He didn't hate him at the start (I think), only after Pence 'betrayed' him. The hatred for Desantis is built-in.

lol here's a new one. Am fighting a boss that's in a big arena with a house on one side. Deathblow'd him once, got him down to 25% on his last one. I was near dead and with no flasks left. Figured I'd lead him into the house to confuse his pathfinding, back out, then take the time to heal up with my pellets. It worked! I felt great for a successful strategy.

Then I walk up to see that he's regained all his health, including the deathblow I did. Okay...

I really want to like this game, but there's a bunch of minor annoyances that are starting to add up.

-Losing EXP and money on death with no way to get it back is not fun.
-There's not enough feedback for when you successfully land a parry (the sound effect is weak).
-Nakiri Counter is extremely finicky and you eat a huge punish if it decides to just not work.
-The combat system kinda falls apart when facing a big group of enemies.
-You can get hit at the immediate end of a deathblow animation.

Maybe I just need to get good but eh. When the game is fun, it's fun, but I feel like I'm fighting the game for my enjoyment a lot of the time.

Is there a chart of corporate profits over time adjusted for inflation?

My gut instinct tells me it's trended up and up since ww2

There's a bunch. Corporate profits growth have significantly outpaced employee wage growth.

Elon is trash but I somehow hate his fanboys way more.

I legitimately can't tell if you're enjoying this game, and that fascinates me. I don't even want to know until you're finished either.

Loved Tactics Ogre GBA when I was growing up, it's one of my big nostalgic games.

Sadly did not finish. Of what I played, the flashbacks of the MC's life were fantastic, but the current day story was meh. I especially disliked the comic relief guy party member.

Pretty much this, yeah.

red13n posted...

Honestly the game feels like something someone feeling vindictive would romhack into existence.

Not gonna lie, this kinda makes me want to play it. Especially since I'm content waiting for FE4's remake while FE5 would be extremely lucky to ever get one.

LightningStrikes posted...

First of all, weird. I dont think Cavill is irreplaceable though.

He's close to it. Witcher isn't an ensemble cast, and Cavill was a clear standout for a lot of people.

MacArrowny posted...

With WoT, the showrunner's original vision was more accurate than what we got (though I dunno how accurate). Amazon made a lot of things change, not least among them cutting the season's length from 10 eps to 8.

Pain.

Nah. It has an effect. Not a gigantic effect, unless you have a big twitter following, but people on the sidelines do look at these things. Conservatives won't be convinced - flaky independents can. Saying otherwise is just doomerism to downplay someone here actually putting in effort.

Til you realize its been weaponized to hell and for all the little good you could do some bad group will throw some number of millions to run a troll farm.

So? It's still better than doing nothing. Every little bit counts.

Good job. Correcting twitter misinformation sounds like hell but it has way more of a discernible effect than five people in this topic series trying in vain to turn Corrik into a normal person.

I can see why people got tripped up by Asgore, but I think it was fine.
