Lurker > Steve Nick

I'm about to start reading Hawkeye issue 1.

I picked Hawkeye purely because I thought he sounded cool. Some people told me it was a 'weird start', but whatever, I just want to read what i'm drawn to, not what's 'most popular'. I've heard enough about other classics to not be too interested.

Well i did punch somethings and now my hand hurts. I also threw water and now the inside of my car is soaked. Feel a bit better but only because I'm distracted by regret.

Idk i just feel like i cannot talk to people about my emotions. Perhaps thats my fault because I hate being judged. But the people who i consider closest with me tend to argue what I'm feeling or even dismiss what I'm saying. That shit makes me even more mad so i bottle it up. Now all the frustration is overflowing and i probably broke my hand and radio.

Mistake #1 - Talking to someone and expecting them to fix how you feel.

That's all up to you.

I can share a little bit about my personal experience, I guess.

I used to have a problem with negative emotions, anger, etc. Probably not quite as extreme as you're describing, but I've had some issues.

Nowadays though, I'm at complete peace, better than I've ever been(and no, my life is not 'good').

I've found that the key to success for me, while it may sound difficult, was just to be a 'good person'. Do wrong to nobody, don't judge anybody, expect nothing, and if somebody does something to you, just walk away and forget about it.

You're the only person you can control, so if you're content with yourself, then nothing else can hurt you.

I have no anger or malice in my life. Just peace. It's all about how you choose to live.

To this day, this might be the worst video game review Ive ever seen...

Just confusing more than anything. His main gripe is it's boring and unimaginative. I thought it was anything but that. It was a fantastic game.

Kinda want to watch for lulz but I also want to stay 'fresh' going into the game. I haven't played it yet because...Wii U....

Mine comes in on Friday.

So, I've played a few worlds now so i decided to watch this, and I just have to say, wtf?

Nothing he says makes any sense. Mundane level design and no platforming variety? He calls it 'platforming 101' lol. Guy has got something wrong with him.

And yeah, to address what some people have said about difficulty of the game. Yeah, it's pretty hard. The game is taking it's gloves off in world 2 already and some of these levels are pretty tough.

Like other people have said though, it's difficult in a fair and fun way (so far).

Just beat the first world. It's delightful so far.

This game reminds me of what boss fights should be. I just beat the first one, and after playing so many Mario games, it's nice to finally fight a boss that isn't just 'hit it three times the same way and dodge the same patterns to win'

I know you just started it but is it worth the money? I want to pick something up for my Switch because its been collecting dust.

It's a really good platformer so far. I'm halfway through world 2. Supposedly there's quite a bit of post-game stuff too.

Changing difficulties at anytime during your playdough is another spoiled luxury that modern games have. I really can't remember any games before like 2000 that let you change the difficulty level anytime you want. It's tradition to just select a how hard you want it at the beginning, and that's what you're doing.

Also gotta love how pretty much the only criticism of Tropical Freeze was "it's too difficult." So Nintendo adds an easy mode, and people still complain lol.

"The easy mode was too hard to select!"

So, to go off on a random tangent here, I always found it really baffling how DKC2 and 3 didn't even have the leader of the bunch as a main character.

I love Donkey Kong. He's a badass. I don't want to play as.....Diddy. Not for the whole game. What were they thinking?

Only hint art I used a guide for was the first one from the wooded kingdom in the desert, the one from sand kingdom in bowser's kingdom (thought the numbers were referring to the dancing flags >_> died so many times trying to groundpound on top of all of them before I gave up) and the one from metro kingdom in the lake kingdom solely because I didn't know what kingdom that was.

Bowser Kingdom was actually the first hidden star I got.

I don't see the point of re-releasing Wii U games for the Switch....just make new games. That's the point of the new system, right?

Well, the Wii U wasn't a great seller, and you're Nintendo thinking, "Well, everyone loved this one game". Giving it to a new audience makes sense.

I'm more disappointed that Nintendo didn't release Tropical Freeze and DKCR together on one cart.

That'd have been badass. I'm kinda ambivalent to it because I beat DKCR, but it would've still made a great combo cart.

Ehh.

Already beat it on the Wii U, and while I really liked it, I'm not spending $60 on it. Now, if it drops to $30, I'll definitely pick it up again.

That's completely reasonable. I'm not advocating for anyone with a Wii U to be excited about it.

So I tune in and this guy is in Cap Kingdom. He's on his first playthrough but as just entered the post game and started exploring. The first thing he does is run over to where the hidden hint art star is in the kingdom and ground pound.

Then, he immediately starts complaining that that was stupid game design and how would anyone know to just randomly ground pound at a random spot on the ground for no reason?

Then I'm like, "so how did you know it was there then?"

and he says he's using a guide.

Dude isn't even trying to play or understand the game and is bitching about game design he knows nothing about.

Was a fast d/c from me.

How many of you have actually killed any ate something? We're losing our birthright as humans. The land is being destroyed, the environment is being destroyed, our human heritage and culture is being destroyed.

I have. The first time I did it by myself was when I was 14. Me and my cousin rode out to the creek on our fourwheelers and dirtbikes and caught some bream. We brought them back and prepped them and threw them in a pan. It wasn't that great, but we ate it.

I've killed and ate other things since then. Not a ton, though.

You can probably watch it after you're done with world 2; the only footage they show past the first two worlds is a bit of the minecart level from world 4.

It's also probably best to watch it after at least beating world 2 because then you can truly appreciate just how bad the review is.

Cool thanks for the viewing advice.

Sounds like he needs to get gud.

I played this game when it came out, and it was no harder than the original trilogy of DKC. It's a challenging platformer, that's the point.

Its absolutely more challenging than the SNES trilogy when going for 100%. None of the SNES levels come close to 2-K, 4-K, 5-K or all of world 7.

That's good though.

Who wants to play a platformer and just run through the game and be done?

Finishing a game like this should be a challenge that you have to work towards.

"Unfortunately, players must choose their difficulty at the start of the game, and this cant be changed, meaning if you reach a point of never-ending fury which is likely then you cant decide to try out the more forgiving mode after the event. "

You really should know what you're made of before you start the game.

Honestly this is the only point of his review that I agreed with. I'm excited to play as Funky Kong but I don't want to be stuck with him the whole time. I want to play the game normally then go back to random levels and mess around as FK. Does this mean I'll need two save files?

Honestly I agree too. Difficulty in a game like this should be swap-able.

However, I saw an opportunity to make a stab, so I took it. Personally the difficulty thing won't bother me, since I'm not going to use funky. I know what I'm made of.

But the option should be there.

it's not just the southern states. don't pin this entirely on them

Let me put it this way, southern states are the only ones that teach the Civil War as 'The War of Northern Aggression' and ignore slavery in favor of 'State's Rights'. Good luck finding out about Jim Crow Laws as well.

I went to school in the South and I've never even heard of the first term until the Internet, and the way we were taught about the war was never angled that way. We were told it was mostly fault over slavery, we were told about Jim Crow Laws, and we watched several movies about the abolition of slavery and the Tubman stuff, etc.

So let's dispel of this fiction that the South is teaching their kids what you're saying, because maybe it's happening somewhere, but it's definitely not the norm.

I don't feel like anything I was ever taught was pro-slavery material or slanted in any way. And I come from the deep country, too.

Yes, she was. The only way to argue otherwise is to suggest she asked for his dick because she really wanted it.

Which is a thing that sometimes happens, at which point the proper response is to go somewhere a little more private, not whip your dong out in a public park.

Part of the problem is that we're looking at two things as the same crime.

The real 'crime' is a dude randomly running around a park showing his penis to people. That's a crime and should be punished rightfully.

But consensually/discretely showing your penis to someone who wants to see it isn't the same thing. It's still a crime, and if caught, should warrant some type of punishment, but it's not worth it for the police to intentionally track down those people with this entrapment bait.

They wanted to catch the dudes from Group A. But they couldn't, so they went out and baited some random dudes in Group B to punish instead.

So a legal loophole. Gotcha.

No, just not entrapment.

It is entrapment though.

The guy wasn't going to take out his penis. But the police put him in a tempting situation and then asked him to, so he did.

Even though the woman wasn't an officer, she's cooperating with police and being instructed by them. She's acting as an agent.
