| Topic | Which Political Side Cancels People/Companies More: Left or Right? |
| xlr_big-coop 09/15/23 2:16:18 AM #37 | AsucaHayashi posted...
the trend is usually that left cancels (or tries to cancel) more while the cancelled side doubles down within their own echo chambers. --- :) |
| Topic | How in the hell do people justify Doordash prices? |
| xlr_big-coop 09/15/23 2:15:24 AM #23 | Haven't tried doordash but Uber eats is super expensive too. I keep getting emails for 40-50% off and even with the discount food ends up being MSRP once you factor in fees, taxes + tip. Fuck that.
--- :) |
| Topic | Worst change to the Pokemon series? |
| xlr_big-coop 09/14/23 9:43:56 PM #55 | The change to 3d. It's clear gamefreak lacks the ability to code, so sprite work was when they were at their best.
--- :) |
| Topic | C/D: The GameCube/PS2 era was the Golden Age of gaming |
| xlr_big-coop 09/14/23 5:09:16 PM #35 | That's an easy yes. Games shipped whole, had an actual art direction, often had fun connectivity like the gba-gbc stuff, could pop the disc and play without worrying about updates and so on.
Yes modern games might look great but they often feel shallow, especially open world games where it seems they dropped random points of interest on a pretty yet shallow world. --- :) |
| Topic | Federal judge again declares Obama-era DACA program unlawful |
| xlr_big-coop 09/13/23 10:35:20 PM #5 | Does this mean they can't reapply or that they're at risk of deportation?

| Topic | European tourists robbed in California |
| xlr_big-coop 09/12/23 3:13:30 AM #56 | DemonBuffet posted...
This is becoming the norm as California continues to be lenient on criminals, treating like victims who need rehabilitation and reform rather than punishing for the selfish and evil individuals most of them are. --- :) |
| Topic | Could Solid Snake survive all the events of Resident Evil 1-5? |
| xlr_big-coop 09/11/23 10:23:54 PM #9 | He could probably do the whole scenario unnoticed

| Topic | Why do people get mad about 'both sides' when both sides of a dispute are trash? |
| xlr_big-coop 09/11/23 10:23:18 PM #67 | Inohira posted...
One being overall better than the other doesn't mean they aren't both bad.I see that a lot, lots of fallacies and whatabautism. Politics are really as bad as sports when it comes to it's fanatics. --- :) |
| Topic | Is Pride Still Necessary? Conservative Gays vs Liberal Gays |
| xlr_big-coop 09/11/23 9:43:42 PM #79 | Billyionaire posted...
Can't tell if you don't know what an "oxymoron" is or are just a really ignorant and bad gatekeeper of homosexuality.This is the worst part. Can't even identify as gay and conservative or else these people yet triggered. They really are not very accepting of others in the end. --- :) |

| Topic | Why aren't Gamers canceling Baldur's Gate III? |
| xlr_big-coop 09/07/23 4:16:00 PM #49 | I'm surprised at the support bg3 got when starfield is getting roasted for things it also shares with it, like the pronoun thing. Seems anger isn't spread equally for some odd reason.

| Topic | When you go outside do you ever encounter strangers with b.o.? |
| xlr_big-coop 09/04/23 11:16:18 PM #7 | I went to a retro game store last year when a dude came in and immediately stank the place up. When he left I saw the owner walking by spraying febreeze, I thanked him for it as I had to hold my breath just to pay.

| Topic | A community manager for a game shouldn't be a dick towards the community right? |
| xlr_big-coop 09/04/23 2:10:21 PM #4 | Yeah, it reminds me of how antagonistic the Twitter page of NFS unbound and saints row were towards the fans. These people need to realize they're the face of the company and the first to interact with fans. The product depends on them communicating properly and creating hype amongst fans.
--- :) |
| Topic | Do the Mass Effect games hold up? (Havent played since 2010 or w/e) |
| xlr_big-coop 09/03/23 10:48:16 PM #6 | 1-2 yes. 3 killed my love of the series and it wasn't (entirely) because of the ending. Some major plotlines have underwhelming conclusions and there's plenty of wasted potential for most of the characters.

| Topic | Borderlands |
| xlr_big-coop 09/03/23 4:21:43 PM #4 | I like the gameplay but not the story. 3 is my favorite on the series but I can only play it on PC where I can delete cutscenes and dialogue.

| xlr_big-coop 09/03/23 4:20:53 PM #114 | hockeybub89 posted...
Should a woman mention infertility on the first date because a lot of men want kids?Yes, but the guy should also do the same. Why waste someone else's time? The other person might want to have kids of their own one day, can never assume what the other person thinks. --- :) |
| Topic | I cannot vibe with the Pokemon HGSS soundtrack |
| xlr_big-coop 09/02/23 1:09:29 PM #8 | Yeah I agree, specially since I'm not a fan of DPP at all. This is why I love romhacks that give you the gb player early on.
--- :) |
| Topic | The "popcorn" button on microwaves.... |
| xlr_big-coop 09/02/23 1:08:00 PM #3 | I never use it. Every microwave I had always burnt the popcorn. Instead I learned to gauge when to stop by listening to the pops the bag makes.

Fuck the Proud Boys. Hope they get the book thrown at them and get designated as terrorists.Wish we could label and get rid of antifa as well. Axe both extremes of the fucking political spectrum. --- :) |
| Topic | 2023 and people are still acting like 7/10 is a "bad" score. |
| xlr_big-coop 08/31/23 9:13:44 PM #18 | 7/10 IS a bad score. It's completely undeserving of getting full MSRP. Saying otherwise is the same line of thinking as "C's get decrees", why settle for subpar products?
--- :) |
| Topic | Volition Games shuts down, effective immediately |
| xlr_big-coop 08/31/23 5:09:01 PM #72 | Cant say I care. Their ad campaign for the saints reboot was laughable, cringeworthy and insulting to old fans. The game itself had horrible writing and tons of bugs. They made their own bed so now they get to lay on it.

| Topic | PC vs Console value after Sony price hikes |
| xlr_big-coop 08/31/23 12:30:02 PM #68 | I built my own PC after selling my consoles early last gen, which was one of the best decisions I've ever made. I refuse to pay for an online service, yeah it might have been a little more expensive initially but it saved me money on the long run.

| Topic | Do you Americans like Biden as president? |

| Topic | Why did Chris Chan keep getting in the news as a youth? |
| xlr_big-coop 08/29/23 9:50:09 PM #9 | It really is crazy that all those instances happened before he was found. First time I saw his "and I just won video" I couldn't believe it was him.

| Topic | Pokemon X and Y are now 10 years old |
| xlr_big-coop 08/28/23 7:05:05 PM #25 | If new were the last good games then XY feel like the last games gamefreak tried nearly as hard. If you had told me Pokemon would only sink lower and lower. 10 years ago, I wouldn't have believed you.

| xlr_big-coop 08/26/23 11:39:22 PM #54 | Yeah, I remember back when I was looking for a job a bunch of engineering positions wanted 2 years of experience, bunch of software and possibly a master's for an entry level job at $80k. These companies are insane if they think someone that qualified will agree to such low pay.

And didn't Chris transition in prison? But now maybe isn't since they are referring to him as a male again?As far as I know he's been trans since the tomgirl saga. Doubtful He's honest about it since trolls convinced him he could score if he came out as a lesbian. --- :) |
