Uglyface2 09/09/20 10:29:35 PM #324 | 9. Beat a remake or enhanced port Saints Row the 3rd Remastered It doesn't hold up. There were some fun ideas along the way, but I never want to play it ever again. 9/52 |

Uglyface2 08/11/20 4:57:12 PM #290 | 47. Play a technically unbeatable game for at least six hours Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town You can lose a lot of time trying to get things going in that game. Honestly not sure if I'll be playing much of anything else for a while. 8/52 |
Topic | The Great 2020 Video Game Challenge |
Uglyface2 07/15/20 7:13:43 PM #265 | 2. Beat a game released between 1990-1999 Sunset Riders It was through the Arcade Archives, but there wasn't much lost in the translation. It's still fun, and there's still no way I'd win with less than $10 in quarters. 7/52 |

Uglyface2 05/07/20 9:37:22 PM #172 | 51 Assassin's Creed Origins I finished the main story and one of the DLCs. Maybe I'll play the other DLC someday, but for now I'm calling it. 4/52 |

Uglyface2 04/14/20 10:43:33 PM #149 | 50 : Assassin's Creed Rogue I'd rage quit the game before on the last mission because the combat is terrible. I figured I'd finish it tonight. I'm working on AC: Origins now, and I've got Odyssey for later. 3/52. |

Uglyface2 04/05/20 11:08:18 PM #142 | 12. Beat a game made by a developer you've never tried To the Moon - Freebird Games Short, poignant, and it'll probably stick with me for a while. Currently on sale on the Nintendo eShop, but right now you'll get a better deal through Steam. 2/50. |
Topic | The Great 2020 Video Game Challenge |
Uglyface2 02/08/20 11:54:12 AM #65 | 40 Beat a game with a Metascore below 70. Terminator: Resistance. It isn't great, but it is fun. I expect sales fairly soon, so wait for those. |

Topic | If you use rewind/save state to finish a game, did you beat it? |
Uglyface2 01/02/20 11:22:12 PM #403 | lordjers posted... Castlevania: The Adventure isn't that hard and I feel attacked whenever someone says it's bad (yes I have multiple battle scars). Once you get past that screen, you're right. The rest of the game is comparably easy. |

Uglyface2 01/02/20 11:06:33 PM #401 | wg64Z posted... This is getting sad. For a group of people who say "Who cares?" you sure need a ton of validation from every single fringe case and example. Early Gameboy library, there weren't that many options. Years later, I wanted to see whether I could get past it. Watch the video, you need to nail that jump. |

Uglyface2 01/02/20 7:02:37 PM #361 | wg64Z posted... Again, it's beatable though. If it was solely designed to kill you it would be a room of spikes. This game is frequently littered with slowdown; it's not generally optimized. I'm not sure what the guy in this video used, but this is where people usually die. And then they have to start over and over and over... notice that this is a 30 minute video. This game sucked, and it was only this hard because of wonky jumping and system limitations. https://youtu.be/VBd7Qs0SMZE?t=419 |

Uglyface2 01/02/20 1:43:53 PM #344 | wg64Z posted... Which game was that? Cause a screen that's designed to make you start over if you run out of lives sounds like a normal Video Game. Castlevania: The Adventure. There is a screen on the second stage with three falling platforms. Its sole purpose is to artificially extend the life of the game. Im sure there are YouTube videos, but Im not looking them up at work. |

Uglyface2 01/01/20 5:08:26 PM #338 | Lopen posted... Let me explain why they're the same to start I used the save state feature on the 3DS to get through one screen that was broken and buggy that was designed to force players to start the game over once they ran out of lives. I dont care what people say, Ill cheat and not bat an eye. |

Topic | Politician of the Year 2019 |
Uglyface2 12/31/19 12:19:32 AM #5 | Voted Trump. I still don't trust the guy and his foreign policy scares me, but he's been sort of a... what's the word? Not a "beacon", but a person whose presence has had an influence on politics in a large number of countries. (No, not "corrupt", either.) |

I'm so sorry. There's a good gameplay loop in there, and I'm near the end, but there are also mechanics that have caused me to rage quit (primarily centered around animations that take far too long - stupid chain assassinations kill horses instead of the rider because they take so long). |
Topic | If you use rewind/save state to finish a game, did you beat it? |
Uglyface2 12/29/19 11:42:07 PM #114 | It depends on what you mean by "beat". If you mean successfully reaching the end of the game, then sure. If you mean fully completed the game based on skill, then no. I voted yes because it's not important enough to fight over. |
Topic | I have newfound respect for fast food employees |
Uglyface2 12/29/19 7:27:47 PM #8 | Paratroopa1 posted... I know you maybe didn't mean it like this but did you really think fast food workers weren't working their asses off? I mean, shit, I would not last a week - people who have the stomach for that job are just better people than I am I had no idea. Customers only ever see the front end. When I was doing low wage jobs, either they weren't this demanding or I don't remember them being like this. Forceful_Dragon posted... I spent a decade in fast food positions before landing my office job. It's something I recommend everyone go through for exactly this reason. It helps to be empathetic as a customer and to understand just how malleable someone has to be to thrive in that environment. Lesson learned, believe me. |
Topic | I have newfound respect for fast food employees |
Uglyface2 12/29/19 12:59:23 AM #1 | I've got a ton of debt and decided to try Dave Ramsey's approach to getting out of it. I got a job at McDonald's and have worked two shifts there. They've had me clean the grill for the last two days. I'm having the hardest time doing it, since there are all of these nooks and crannies you need to scrape out, and it takes muscles I haven't really used in a very long time since my primary job is office work. Everybody else there, it's no big thing. They step in and know exactly what they're doing around a machine that can probably cook them if they're not careful. I'm being showed up with basic machine maintenance by people young enough to be my kids. They're also able to stand for long periods without any obvious signs of distress. I, on the other hand, feel like my back is going to give out if my feet don't go first. (I bought shoe inserts for the feet, but they don't seem to be helping.) Yes, I can push buttons to cook the meat, and I can flip the burgers over and today I even helped to assemble a few of the sandwiches. I'm just not very good at a lot of the little things. I don't know how long I am for the fast food business, but I do know that those kids put in a lot of work. |
Topic | Gaming purchase regrets of the year. |
Uglyface2 12/28/19 1:56:13 AM #47 | ChaosTonyV4 posted... One of my regrets is that I didn't go for the PS Classic at $20 before it sold out. If it makes you feel any better, I spent $100 on the damn thing. |
Topic | Gaming purchase regrets of the year. |
Uglyface2 12/24/19 1:32:20 PM #8 | The one that sticks out was an Indie game called A Knight's Quest. I got through the tutorial and wasn't really feeling it, and once I got to the first city and saw what it had in terms of world building I walked away and never touched it again. |
Topic | If a game comes out for PS4 and Switch, which version do you get? |
Uglyface2 12/24/19 12:55:37 PM #22 | Usually the PS4 because of storage. I've got a lot more space on my PS4 hard drive than my Switch memory card. |
Topic | At what age did you know that there was no........? Spoilers? |
Uglyface2 12/24/19 12:54:03 PM #26 | I'm not 100 percent when I'd worked it out, but I do remember my mother sitting me down and explaining it (more or less confirming my suspicions). I don't remember when that was, just that it happened. |
Topic | What are your resolutions/plans/hopes for the upcoming decade? |
Uglyface2 12/24/19 12:09:05 AM #10 | Pay off my student loan debt (preferably early). Maybe get married? It's a long shot at my age. |

Topic | Did you get a flu shot for this cold season? |
Uglyface2 12/20/19 5:40:59 PM #11 | Yes. Got it for free at work, like PrinceOfKoopas. I've got small nieces and nephews, my parents are older, and I don't like the idea of getting sick in the first place. Reduce the risk, at least. |

Topic | Have you ever been on unemployment before? |
Uglyface2 12/18/19 7:02:02 PM #5 | Yes. I stayed off of it for as long as I could, I went on it and hated myself for doing it, and I ran out but managed to get hired right around the end of it. It changed my perspective on things. |
Topic | Oh hey i'm being sued |
Uglyface2 12/18/19 5:55:55 PM #253 | Bad decision. They didn't provide those papers during the discovery period so they should have been inadmissible. |
Topic | I'm having trouble getting over something from 10 ye |
Uglyface2 12/16/19 6:25:47 PM #10 | For those wondering, I worked in county government. There were some genuinely corrupt people who went to jail around that time. I wasn't one of them, but I'm convinced that my asking the wrong questions is what brought my situation to a head. That, and the fact that my supervisor was afraid of me for reasons that escape me. The reason I'm so upset is that they've already screwed me once before with our settlement (I dropped my appeal, they were supposed to give me a neutral reference, they didn't and I only found out a couple of years into my job search). How easy would it have been for some malicious somebody to plant something else in there? |
Topic | I'm having trouble getting over something from 10 ye |
Uglyface2 12/16/19 12:52:05 PM #1 | I lost my job 10 years ago. Setting everything else aside, it was my fault for taking the bait and I should have walked away when given the opportunity. By all rights and measures, Im better off now than I was there. Im just afraid that one or more of the people involved will show up again, or that my old workplace will screw me over somehow. Ive kept some very painful documents on hand just in case something happens. Id like to be free from all of this. I learned the hard way that this group practically requires me to keep a paper trail, so Id like to figure out when its ok to shred my stuff. If you were in my position, what steps would you take to ensure that you were completely in the clear? |
Topic | Have you ever had an addiction? |
Uglyface2 12/15/19 7:20:23 PM #10 | Gambling (lottery). I spent an awful lot of money, even when I really didn't want to. It never reached the clinical level since I managed to cut back at some point. I still play, just not regularly. |
