Add me to the list of people surprised by sonic mania's performance- I guess the sonic name still carries some weight

Also add me to the list of people pleasantly surprised by Portal 2's performance- it really is an amazing game.

It's funny that people keep taking about what the government should be providing in this ludicrous hypothetical situation

You must be new to this guy's topics

He posts about 3 a week of "how is trump doing?" Where the only 3 options are good, great, and excellent.

So there's a context/ pattern here

I used to have simple answers to this question, but it's become more contextual over time. A lot of games have their time and place. And they all have tradeoffs! I would need to split them up into genres.

For such a basic question, this inspired a lot of thought

How does the Adjusted make any sense:

Breath of the Wild
The Outer World
User | Anon | Raw | Adjusted
6925 | 5510 | 12435 | 19352
1168 | 1073 | 2241 | 3409

Another way to look at the formula is

Raw = user + anon
Adjusted = raw + user

Which fits the numbers if you plug them in

in capture maps, she could speed to the opposite spawn and start flanking them immediately

I agree. Hollow knight is simultaneously my favorite metroidvania and favorite soulsbourne game.

Honestly, Il I'm glad HK is able to keep it so close. Expected FF to crush it just on recognition alone. I guess it being released on the switch really boosted the play rate on gamefaqs. Although it being so close makes the loss more bittersweet

Really interested to see if the registered use double vote is pushing this in the right direction

It depends on what season you're talking, really. Some seasons, Jimmy was making an honest attempt

But even though I don't like chuck, it was clear he was driving the show in a good way. The parts where he isn't involved aren't quite as interesting and Jimmy does worse, just because the plot has ro move forward somehow

This is really wrong, but it's true that it makes you feel like the moves you made were the obvious only one. Check out speedrunners and such to see all the variety.

I'll grant that some levels are open enough, but when you're getting to c sides they're so precise that the average player has no other options

They're basically quicktime events at a certain point, with the added puzzle of needing to figure out what the correct buttons are

I mean yeah, if you really get into speedrunning and the game's engine you can find some exploits, but that doesn't influence the average player.

Personally, I think given the way the left treated Kavanaugh, in the future Senate Republicans should probably just cancel confirmation hearings for nominations made by Republican presidents altogether and just confirm them immediately without testimonial hearings. Because the decision is about choosing a justice for the Supreme Court, not about any kind of criminal trial.

Are you lying or misinformed?

It's pretty good, but the gameplay leaves little room for creativity once you're past the introductory areas

there's one specific sequence of button presses that will get you past each challenge, and it's a matter of how well you can execute the timings

Yeah, dungeon 5 had the (seemingly) only real puzzles in the entire game, and that frustrated some people I know.

P5, like all persona games, is also really long. The dungeon suffers from being at the point where you're already kinda tired of dungeons in general

Rocket League is my favorite game of the decade.

I have ... a lot of hours into it. 1500ish to not be exact.
Still not Grand Champ. Close at Champ 3, but it's still so far.

Long story short, I'd be ok with this rally.

The Wii U game, BotW is in my top 5 of the decade, so I'd be happy with that too. I was a big fan of the Wii U actually. Mario Maker 1 > Mario Maker 2.

Sitting at around 800 hours here.

I've accepted I'll never get a grand champ title. I was ranked grand champ, once. A few seasons ago, in a disrespected mode. But you need 10 wins at that rank to get the title, and I think I got 7 before I was out for good.

This topic has legs because poverty- as well as ending poverty- isn't clearly defined. We could talk in circles forever because our definitions will be different.

There will always be the mentality ill, who can't or won't work. Even if we handed the 13% of the population that is in poverty 80 thousand dollars, some of them will fall right back down.

So, poverty would be 100% gone for a little while, and it wouldn't all come back quickly, but some of it would

Yes, that's exactly right. I'm not even going to consider the evidence on specifics at this point. Not until and unless the Democrats improve their credibility up to a point where they are worth taking seriously.

All right. I'd be embarrassed to say what you just said.

You don't care about the truth. You only care whose mouth the truth comes from.

Kavanaugh was completely full of shit, and you ate it up because he was wearing the right team jersey. That's the definition of being a sheep, or a drone, or whatever the term is.

I guess I understand now. The people who think Kavanaugh was credible ignore all evidence and are proud of it.

---

You did indeed stab me in the back. However, you are only level one, whilst I am level 50. That means I should remain uninjured.

I think we're narrowing down on why exactly you think Kavanaugh is okay. You're so focused on the horse race, in the blue vs. red matchup, that you can't distinguish between valid and invalid evidence.

It's like you were a juror on a trial, and said "I love prosecutors! I'm not going to listen to anything the defense brings to the table because of course they're going to defend the defendant. Just last trial, I saw the defense bring 100 pieces of evidence, and the defendant was still guilty!"

Kavanaugh's hearing was not a trial, but the comparison stands

Rational people understand that the specifics matter. You don't just say "all judges should be confirmed" or "all judges should be rejected." A good system looks at 100 candidates for 100 positions and approves the ones that are good and rejects the ones that are bad.

But it depends on why he's being selected. For instance, if Bernie Madoff was chosen as the next Supreme Court justice for his judicial views, that's different from selecting him because he defrauded people.

No, it's really not. The input and output are binary. You have to choose whether or not you approve of your country being represented by a frauster, or a philanderer, or a rapist, or a pedophile.

The thing is the objections made against Kavanaugh instantly lost credibility because they were made after he was nominated. The feeling among the public, or at least the right, is that the same attacks would have been made against any conservative jurist. So it wasn't an attack on Kavanaugh, it was an attack on the nation itself.

This is objectively incorrect. What proof do I have? The fact that democrats barely grumbled at Neil Gorsuch.

How can the republicans get a justice through with no problems whatsoever in 2017, and then immediately in 2018 say "the democrats bring out fake assault claims against EVERY person we nominate?"

I have to do some more research into this to be sure but my impression was that Roy Moore is in a rather different judicial school of thought. I can't imagine either of the 3 justices I named ever endorsing the position that Alabama courts should ignore orders made by federal courts interpreting the federal constitution. Nor would they take the position that the Bible should trump the Constitution in American courts.

what i'm trying to ask- as I'm sure you already know- is where the line is in terms of "personal" behavior that would disqualify a candidate in your eyes?
