Russia is located in Asia

Only parts of it.

Russians are Asian.

Some are, some aren't, it depends on where in Russia they were born.

Putin is an Asian man,

Nope, he was born in the European part of Russia.

Canada

Life sentences in Canada are for life. Early parole existing doesn't change that.

madoka_kaname posted...

Not in my country at least. A life sentence here is 25 years.

What country do you live in.

No. Why would he be?

Darklit_Minuet posted...

The meaning of words changes depending on usage. Words do not always mean what they used to mean, nor do they mean their literal definition.

I don't see why that's relevant. "Asian" still means "people from Asia" in the UK.

Darklit_Minuet posted...

Literally nobody outside the UK uses Asian to describe Indians.

How does that make them wrong?

Never.

Darklit_Minuet posted...

Because the UK is wrong and stupid

How are they wrong?

I use Asian to describe people who look Asian. Not people who look Indian.

Indian are Asian and therefore look Asian.

Darklit_Minuet posted...

Because when you say Asian, you're referring to people from places like Japan/China/Korea.

Not in the UK.

Why would you use the same word for two completely different people?

Why do you use Asian to describe different people?

Darklit_Minuet posted...

Because they refer to Indian/Middle Eastern people as Asian?

How's that wrong?

Darklit_Minuet posted...

The UK does it wrong

How so?

Fire Emblem, Pokemon, Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4, Yoshi and Kirby are all exclusive that are coming out. Project Octopath is also exclusive I think. Smash is also a possibility. Also according to hackers there is evidence that virtual console is coming out soon.

Which if any are coming out next year is tough to say. I think Kirby, Yoshi and Octopath have release plans for 2018. I'm not sure about the others. Although I would be surprised if they do get out in 2018.

Nintendo is hoping to sell a 150% the units next year compared to this one. So I'd hope they have a fair few exclusives coming out.

One of the MAJOR problems here is that he was allowed in, but told to sit in the back.

The article claims the club changed their mind and refused him entry.

Hopefully he wins.

Oh, those same non biased polls that said he had no chance of winning?

I don't any giving him no chance of winning. Could you list some please.

m assuming you're in the UK, yes? In America a Milky Way is milk chocolate, nougat, and caramel. A Mars Bar in America was just milk chocolate, nougat, and almonds. However the US Mars Bar was discontinued in 2002 and replaced with the Snickers Almond bar, which was pretty much the exact same as the US Mars Bar but with the addition of caramel, basically making it a Milky Way with almonds. They've unsuccessfully tried to relaunch the Mars Bar in America but it hasn't worked yet.

In the UK however, a Milky Way drops the caramel and uses lighter nougat, while the Mars Bar is just milk chocolate, caramel, and nougat, basically making it like the American Milky Way, which is actually what the Mars Bar was made after.

It's dumb as hell, but oh well

That's dumb as hell. Snickers, Mars Bars and Milky Way are the owned by Mars in the UK and US, so it isn't even a trademark thing.

SusanGreenEyes posted...

Mars Bars have almonds.

Wrong.

Milky Way doesn't.

Right.

Both contain caramel.

Wrong.

1/3 if this were Baseball you'd be doing ok.

SusanGreenEyes posted...

Where's the caramel?

What caramel? It's a Milky Way not a Mars Bar.

Darklit_Minuet posted...

When someone says they're Asian, they're talking something like Japanese/Chinese/Korean.

You've clearly never been to the UK.

Longbow

I don't believe your 8 year old kid, has the strength to use a long bow to kill a deer. A Compound bow or crossbow I could believe but not a longbow.

CensorErik posted...

It doesn't. I was just letting you know I wasn't saying the show was too different from some books I never read.My issue was them killing the character I watched the show for. I'm tired of shows doing that just to try to be edgy and shocking. That said, if it happened in the books, then it's not the show runners trying to be edgy, but it still ruins the rest of the show for me regardless.

It does happen in the books. I can understand your complaints.

CensorErik posted...

I never read the books.

How does that stop you saying what your problem with S2 is?

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2017-fifa-18-switch-face-off

Digital Foundry literally admitted it's an enhanced 360 version. If it's not last-gen and you can't prove what it is then you can't say otherwise lmao

Your own link points out that the developers and publishers claim that the Switch version uses a custom engine. If you want to believe journalists over developers on how a game was developed, feel free to. Just don't expect us to do the same.

Oh, are you so toxic that you don't even understand when you're being so?

Pointing someone doesn't know what they are talking about when they don't isn't toxic. If you think it is, you are over sensitive.

I understand what I said.

You clearly don't. You've gone from the third party games on the Switch use last gen engines, to they don't use last gen engines and you didn't mean they did, and then back to they do use last gen engines.

CensorErik posted...

I stopped watching season 2 after something happened. I lost all interest at that point. Sick of shows trying to be edgy with stuff like that. EVERY show does it now. It was enjoyable right up until then though.

What was that something. I don't recall particularly edgy that wasn't from the books.

I also never completed it. I think I did a fair bit more than 10 hours though. All the dungeons felt the same.

Dump her.

I'm surprised it's not on US Netflix. It's downloadable on Netflix here.

Giant_Aspirin posted...

i really liked S1 and i've been waiting for S2 to appear on streaming for a while now.

S2 is on Netflix in the UK.

I've read the first 6 books. I'm planning to reread them before reading the 7th one. I've done the first already.

Yes. Not Frostbite 3. Point= missed

Not using Frostbite 3 =/= using a last gen engine. Words have meaning. Use the ones you mean. We can't read your mind to know you mean.

You started insinuating that I didn't understand what I was saying solely because you disagreed, hence, pissy.

Pointing out you don't know what you are talking isn't getting pissy. It's pretty weird a person with a degree in English doesn't know that.

Frostbite 3 is a current-gen only engine used on PS4/XB1/PC, that's why it's fucking relevant. You brought up the Unreal engine to prove that the Switch is up to date, which alone means nothing, so I brought up the new games running on older engines as an example. Don't. Be. Dense.

Take your own advice. Don't be dense. Say you mean. If you don't mean that third party games are using last gen engines, then don't say that they are using last gen engines.

AvantgardeAClue posted...

What game on Switch uses a last gen engine instead of Frostbite 3?

FIFA 18.

Weird all the interviews interviews I've seen say it's using a custom engine on Switch.

When did I get pissy?

Here


The Unreal Engine 4 isn't a last gen engine. All in all you don't seem to know what you're on about.

That's not getting pissy. I don't know why you think I it is.

Keep telling yourself that going from "x is bad" to "there's nothing wrong with x" isn't a change in position. Maybe you'll convince someone.

I'm not trying to convince someone who is being obtuse enough to think I'm contradicting myself. Once again:

Some third-partys like FIFA are running on older engines.

Some of the newest games run on Unreal Engine 3 because techniques, practices, assets and support for the engine is well established in comparison to UE4.

Therefore, Unreal 4 engine presence alone in the Switch means nothing.

These are all complimentary statements, not contradicting.

Nah, don't act obtuse. You're trying to argue some games using a last engine on Switch is a bad thing. While also arguing that using a last gen engine isn't a bad. Those are clearly contradictory positions.

AvantgardeAClue posted...

The current gen engine I was referring to in particular as absent on the Switch is Frostbite 3, not Unreal.

What game on Switch uses a last gen engine instead of Frostbite 3?

While I should've clarified that, you're the one who got all pissy

When did I get pissy?

My position did not change.

I have a degree in English but sure, translate your babbling

In post 41 your position is pretty obviously "Some games on Switch use last engines and that's a bad thing". Then in post 52 your position is pretty obviously "there's nothing wrong with games using last gen engines".

Since you have a degree in English I have no doubt you understand how going from "x is a bad thing", to "there's nothing wrong with x", is a clear change is position.

Got me. You're perfectly reasonable, perfectly rational. False alarm.

I'm going to go watch the historical drama about an escaped African slave, played by Matt Damon, being pursued by Samuel L. Jackson, as his evil Virginian confederate captor now. Byebye.

Cool. See you later. Let me know if the movie is any good ok.

AvantgardeAClue posted...

That's because it runs again 720P undocked. The fact that it struggles with frame rate at 900P should tell you that it's not nearly as a powerhouse as you think.

I've never claimed it's a powerhouse, only that it's a lot more than Wii U. Which it is. I really not sure what your point is here. That have a smooth frame rate or 50% more pixels isn't a big improvement?

The Wii U runs pretty much the same while docked, and even slightly faster in some areas after the latest update. The fact that most of these differences are only noticeable side to side should say a lot.

If you think having 50% more pixell is pretty much the same or only notice hy running side by side you might want to get your eyes tests.

If 900P and the occasional 1080P is all people expect from this then no wonder people constantly overhype the power. Can't wait to see how fanboys react to 4K in 10 years or so.

I don't see what this has to do with the statement you quoted.

You're the one bringing up Unreal dingus, I was bringing up why it didn't matter. Plenty of games still use Unreal 3. Does that automatically make them inferior?

Lmao, you really did think I wouldn't notice. I also notice you've basically reversed your entire position on game engines.

I'll paraphrase.

Someone, to you: "Don't play dumb."
You: "I'm not playing dumb."
To you: "What would your thoughts be about an educational show about ancient Africa featuring a bunch of white people?"
You: "I don't know enough about ancient Africa to say."
Me: "lol"
You: "What's funny?"
Me: "Your absurdity."
You: "What absurdity?"

If you're not playing dumb, then I think I should point out to you that humans require food and water to survive, and that you are a human. Unless your carer's put you on intravenous I fear that you may pass out at any moment.

Are you trolling or something? You aren't explaing how I'm being absurd.

I'm laughing at how absurd you are.

Absurd in what way?

saspa posted...

And let's not forget the original character they created who replaces liz allen as head club leader or something, that grungy look girl which the studio for some reason gives the moniker of the most well known love interest of spiderman history?

Are you talking about MJ? She doesn't replace Liz Allen.

AvantgardeAClue posted...

If the games aren't taking advantage of the "lot more powerful" hardware then it doesn't matter how much more powerful it is on paper. Zelda runs on identical to the Wii U, third-party titles use PS360 architecture. Only MK8 and Odyssey seem to remember it's on better hardware, and I'm sure that's no surprise

Zelda has more than 50% more pixels when docked on Switch compared to Wii U. While undocked it runs with no frame dropping. Even the video you posted pointed that out. That's not identical and it's pretty foolish to claim so. Most third parties are testing the waters. Pretty much zero consoles get games using their full power in the first year of their life.

Unreal 4 can be found on all sorts of crap games so it's not exactly a benchmark of quality

Did you seriously think I wouldn't notice you so obviously moving the goalposts?

The Trails games have one in each game.

I just got my son a Switch for Christmas, that's one of the games I want to get eventually, I'd prefer to get it cheaper but Nintendo games never drop in price so I'm probably SOL

It was $30 during Black Friday. Also it's a Ubisoft game.
