No. Sex ed at age 14 was my first exposure to it.

It was my first Fallout game and I quite enjoyed it.

No, I wouldn't say so. It just means that setting/presentation is important to you and you have a preference in that regard.

It was on the Wii U? I thought it was on the Wii. I should look and see if theres a romnack/ mod that takes the motion controls out of it or something.

Sorry, you are correct. Tropical Freeze is what was on the Wii U, but only that one also got a Switch version which is why I have that one.

Probably not if it came from their mouth.

Something like Blastoise's jets though, fair game. You know, assuming I survived.

This! Finally Im not alone!

I do have the means to pick up DKCR on the 3DS. I'm sure that graphically it would take a hit compared to the Wii U version, but I've been hearing many people state that it's still preferable to them over dealing with the motion controls.

The SNES one is a classic

It may have been neat for its time, but it really did not age as elegantly as 64 did. It's blatantly polygonal graphics-wise, framerate is quite choppy in some sections, and some stages were rather brutal in difficulty (looking mainly at that "wireframe bars" section in Sector Z or whichever stage it was, where you were dead in basically 2 collisions, maybe 3; I just remember them ripping huge chunks of health off)

Also impressive considering the game is basically just a reimagining of the first one.

The series was done dirty by having a game like Zero come out on the Wii U, unfortunately.

If I were in the new husbands shoes, I think Id understand the situation and not feel betrayed. Especially considering that she wasnt actively trying to leave me and go back to him. It was a goodbye kiss.

That. Any other takeaway from the scene is petty/absurd, really.

The spouse has been playing it, and it looks mostly well polished (still some bugs and oddities though) but out of everything I've seen so far it isn't my kind of game. It basically seems like Dragon Age Origins for the modern era, and that wasn't my kind of game either.

Only one of these I've played was Turok. I do have Tropical Freeze, but I did want to play the first DKCR game first even though I'm sure there's no real sense of continuity between the two games; it's just a complex that I have.

For real? I can't tell if you're fucking with me lol

Elon was asked this and he confirmed that X is now the name for an individual tweet as well.

I, too, hate it when a game I supposedly enjoy playing keeps giving me more excuses to continue playing it

No, that's silly.

I don't think anyone who posts a validation thread like this one qualifies as "alpha" anything.

If you only support protesters when they don't inconvenience you, you do not support protesters.

I can live with that. \_()_/

You mean like that really bad video game that died some time back?

I can see it happening and I hate you for making me aware of it.

what? she got breast reduction surgery or something? have never heard of that

My spouse is trans, so yeah.

I have more of a chest than they do now, weirdly enough.

That'd be really weird considering my spouse got top surgery a few years ago.

No amount of money is worth that kind of tumultuous lifestyle to me.

Unlikely, because Bethesda.

Which is not to say that I think it'll do badly, but GOAT is something that I think is beyond their reach.

You don't see anything wrong with "eh sure dead pregnant woman but that kid would have sucked anyway"?

Really?

Do you see this kid receiving a proper, caring, loving, attentive home environment had they been born? Really?

It's all that post deserves.

Ok, if you say so.

Figure I'll match the amount of effort you're putting in.

What a stunning and compelling rebuttal. I can't help but be swayed.

Not something I've kept careful track of by any means, but the answer is at least 5. My mom, my past partner, my current partner, and a couple of strangers at a beach that ran out of the water completely naked, seemingly in a panic, as if the loss of their clothes was some kind of freak accident.

If there's been any others, I don't recall them. Whatever appeal of "titties" there is is rather lost on someone like me, anyhow.

Now you're going too far. The mother did wrong. I don't want to mitigate the childs death by saying "meh they probably wouldn't have good life anyway"

You don't have to, but I would.

They made the alphabet soup bigger and still managed to leave out the A. Biden would be proud.

Jokes aside, the warning is absolutely warranted.

This situation is a perfect example of everyone involved making literally the worst decision they could've made, and coming out with one of the worst possible outcomes.

A shoplifter and attempted murderer is removed from society, and the stolen merchandise was presumably recovered. How is this one of the worst possible outcomes?

I'm assuming you're calling it that solely because of this unborn kid being killed, but let's face it -- how good of a life do you think they were going to have anyway, with the mother being reckless enough to drive at a cop while pregnant? Not to mention that a pregnant person stealing alcohol isn't the greatest look for them as a parent.

In my opinion, unborn kids only have whatever value their parents place on them, and this parent's actions all indicate to me she didn't seem to value hers all that much.

Congratulations, welcome to a world in which protesting never ever gets anything done.

It already usually doesn't, so what's the difference?

If you can't justify your protest without becoming just another annoyance to society, maybe you should question why you're out there to begin with.

The reddit blackout is an interesting (albeit ultimately ineffective) example of a more creative protest that was visible but didnt infringe on any rights

Still made the classic mistake of inconveniencing people rather than rallying them. It's never going to be a good way to get people on your side.

Another big mistake made was that many subs just threw up the generic "this sub is private lol" message without even bothering to say why this was the case, so I'm sure many people were not even aware that a "blackout" was even happening.

This is why when you see someone shoplifting you keep your fucking mouth shut. The only time you should ever call the cops on anyone is if they are direct threat to yours or someone else's life.

Yeah, I'll just let people steal all my shit. As long as they aren't threatening me, it's fine. And if they were pregnant, clearly they can do no wrong anyway.

If I did, someone pulled some major strings AND misquoted the crap out of me, because I dropped out after the 11th grade.

Of course we do. Everyone wants to act like they're more morally superior than everyone else but it's all virtue signaling. People will act like they're doing shit for the greater good but honestly they do it for themselves. I believe it's a similar thought process.

I personally don't know very many people that would do that. If asked/pressed, most people I've encountered are very upfront over the preferential treatment they give to those in their close circle compared to that which they give to outsiders. Some will even let you know about it without actually having to ask them.

Here, I'll prove my own point. I'm not even a pet/animal person, but if I was and I did have a pet, you bet your ass I'd save them over some stranger's baby. One of these lives would simply be more important to me than the other.

They do? News to me if so.

Isn't it the case that whenever the whole "you can only save your pet or a stranger's baby from a burning building" scenario is presented, the pet almost always wins?

It makes perfect sense.

"I agree with humane treatment of animals"

*group does bad things in name of such cause*

"That's it! I'm against that entire idea until some good group protests correctly around me!"

Does that sound rational? If you care about a cause, why would the actions of individuals change your mind? Wouldn't you just call PETA a bunch of dumbasses and continue to not abuse animals?

I said I would oppose the people/organization that inconvenienced me. I don't know where/how you made the leap in logic that I would suddenly start abusing animals.

This carries the implication that people value "humanity" more than they value the specific people they know.

Spoilers: most of us don't.

hockeybub89 posted...

So you'd start beating your pets if PETA idiots tried to throw animal blood at you?

... what the hell

Was this your best attempt at a gotcha? I'm not even sure.

I don't care if people protest, but doing it in a way that inconveniences me is a surefire way for make me be against them no matter what their cause is.

The fact that you could see pathways up and down would clue most people in that there is a way to access them, and power bombs are established here as being secret path sniffers (the X-ray scope being a slower, resource-free way of doing so in Super), which would also be the role they would take in Fusion and Zero Mission later on.

It didn't take me particularly long to try a power bomb here. No guide necessary.

From what I remember of Maridia's layout though, it isn't even 100% required for you to break this tube, not even to get all the items. It's just a far more convenient entrance than that of the Wrecked Ship.

No. The tip is for delivery. If I'm picking it up, delivery didn't take place.

So it takes like a dozen episodes?

Maybe your powers hadn't fully manifested yet. Try it again.

You weren't kidding about her being perfect, I see.

I feel like most families don't pass even if it would be advantageous or even if they feel like they don't know what most of the answers would be, because they'd rather be... well, playing the game. It's just more engaging to have multiple opportunities to try to guess all the answers on the board rather than having to stand around watching another group try to do so, and then have just a single opportunity to guess one of the ones they missed.

I don't think it's really the sort of game show that people take super seriously and competitively, despite the name.

I don't know much about Arin, but I can tell that James is a stand up guy and chill dude despite the persona that he's widely known for, so probably him.

Nope. Didn't affect me in the slightest, and the sub closure "protest" was every bit the failure I knew it would be.

No. I did almost the same thing when the Switch was newer, and it caused buyer's remorse for me for a while.

The Switch's library gradually expanded to the point I don't feel that remorse anymore, so you may want to find some more things on it that you'd want to play.

I heard that the rentals are actually useable now?

They're literally the same as they were in the original games afaik.
