Matt had to have actually gotten knocked silly there, because there's no real point to working it, especially if Matt was going to win anyway. If that was the actual plan for the match, it was a stupid plan because that match was terrible. |

| Proto_Spark 09/03/20 8:52:29 PM #4 | Its fine, its as enjoyable as any other multiplayer-focussed FPS's single campaign is. Its nothing to get excited about, but I didn't think it was bad. I also got it on sale for like, 5$ and I thought it was pretty solid. I can say basically none of the benefits for multiplayer are found in single player. You can play what amounts to online games with bots, but everything EA did to fix the game was targeting multiplayer. |

| Topic | While Mario 3D All-Stars, is great, I would like to point out a couple things |
| Proto_Spark 09/03/20 12:58:53 PM #34 | Jabodie posted... This is true. I was really hoping 64 would be like the Spyro and Crash remakes. Imagine 64 with Odyssey type graphics, you know? I mean shit, they redid the graphics in the DS game smh. Oh well. Sunshine and Galaxy aged considerably better so I'd rather they just kept the old art style anyway, but the level of effort put into this is very disappointing. Especially since the original all stars did redo the graphics of the older games. I think part of it is that the Spyro and Crash remakes have always been accessible. If you wanted to play the old school Spyro/Crash games and didn't still have a PS1 you could just buy the PS1 classics to play on your PS3, PS4, or PSP for 6$ a piece. Compare that with 3D Mario, which has been available on the WiiU shop, but that's pretty much it. 64 had a remake on the DS over a decade ago, but other than that if you want one of these, you pretty much need the original games + the Wii/Gamecube/N64 to play them on. At least the reason I'm buying it is because I don't own any of these games, nor have a functional N64/Gamecube/Wii to play them on. A full remaster would be great, but I guess since there's basically nowhere else to obtain most of these games, Nintendo gets to 1/2 ass things a bit. Not that I agree, but I can kind of see why Nintendo figured they could get away with this. |

| Proto_Spark 09/03/20 12:01:18 PM #24 | I'm making sure to pick it up, because I've pretty much barely played any of these. I played a little of 64 and Sunshine, but not since I was little, so I never finished them, and I just never had Galaxy. So this is a great pickup as far as I'm concerned. It only being available for 6 months is real ****ing dumb as far as I'm concerned, especially since it means getting a physical copy will probably be next to impossible. |

| Proto_Spark 09/03/20 11:54:15 AM #30 | SonicZack posted... It does feel different from other MCU movies. I do think it gets a bit of a bad reputation. It's not anywhere close to the best movie in the MCU, but it is watchable. This. I really enjoyed the Hulk movie. It seems to take a lot more from the old show from like the 70s rather than any specific comic (or even the comic style), which makes it stand out a lot more from the other MCU movies. |

Just my luck, it'll probably be as difficult getting this as it was getting a Switch because of Scalpers. >_> At least you'll be able to get it online regardless of how many physical copies are around. Artillatron8 posted... Okay so, super mario 64 and super mario sunshine are straight up ports? Not fully remade from the ground up like the crash bandicoot and spyro remakes? Also wtf at no galaxy 2?? Supposedly they're basically just upscaled ports, with some control changes to fit the Switch. If they were fully remade from the ground up Nintendo would probably charge full price for each individual game. |
| Topic | Mario 3D All Stars will be a limited time release, both physically and digitally |
| Proto_Spark 09/03/20 11:33:52 AM #9 | I'd think Nintendo would have other plans for these Mario titles to justify it only being a limited release. Something like a full remaster of Mario 64 of these games, or its an excuse to hype up Odyssey 2 coming out. Or y'know, money. |

I think it might be due to him being uncomfortably local but everyone here has heard of Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka here. Karla Homolka is a particularly famous one since she pretended to play troubled housewife being forced into these terrible acts by her husband and the second she had managed a reduced sentence it came out that she was way more guilty than she was letting on and ended up pretty much getting a slap on the wrist, especially compared to her husband. Neither are the most active, but they are the only ones I'd heard of. |

| Proto_Spark 08/31/20 11:39:22 PM #12 | lolife67 posted... They had a ship. They could've left with the codex. And they could have gone to Mars because they weren't trying to keep their powers, hence the terraforming. The Codex was part of Superman's DNA, because Zor-El thought Krypton didn't deserve another chance, which is why they needed to kill Superman for it. Granted, if they went to Mars or something and then asked Supes for help, he might have actually given it. But given that Krypton seems to be a Brave New World totalitarian state where ever function was determined from birth, and Clark probably had to read Brave New World in high school or something, he maybe wouldn't have because it sounds so clearly evil. |

I thought he was supposed to be supporting them. pepper2012 posted... except the majority of Americans that voted him for president except 45% of Americans that could vote didn't, so that might not actually be true. Also he lost the popular vote, so not even a majority of people who did vote voted him president. (Yes I know that's not how the electoral college works) |

| Proto_Spark 08/30/20 11:19:55 PM #15 | Rika_Furude posted... False advertisement, plain and simple. Not only should refunds be provided but she should be fined just as any business would be when caught lying in their advertisments and product descriptions. IIRC she did explicitly state she had no interest in doing NSFW stuff and was not going to be distributing nudes through the platform. So it isn't really false advertising, just thirsty dudes not bothering to read what they're buying. |

| Proto_Spark 08/30/20 2:12:48 PM #10 | Sounds like another rich white dude who thinks systemic racism isn't real because he doesn't understand what systemic racism is. I like how he acknowledges that black communities are underprivileged as if there's some kind of systemic reason disproportionally affecting black and minority communities, but then says he doesn't believe in systemic racism. |
| Topic | Thinking of buying a tablet, what's the best available? |
| Proto_Spark 08/30/20 1:13:42 PM #5 | If you want a tablet, you should probably just buy an iPad. depending on what you actually want to use it for, I can't really see an actual need for something like the iPad Pro, but I'm sure it has a real use for... someone instead of just a laptop. Stuff like the surface pro is popular, but its more like a laptop in the shape of a tablet than a specific tablet. Which will work great if that's what you happen to be looking for, but if you already have a laptop you're happy with, there isn't really a reason to get a windows tablet. There are a handful of android tablets that are supposed to be quite good (like the Samsung galaxy tablets) but are instead hamstrung by android not really making the move to tablets as well as they could. A lot of android apps aren't well designed for bigger screens of a tablet and end up kind of ruining the feel of using a tablet. tl;dr - you should probably just buy an iPad. |

| Proto_Spark 08/29/20 9:21:58 PM #51 | I mean, Trump is way too much of a coward to lose the election and just refuse to leave the Whitehouse. He's going to leave peacefully until he's safely back home, and then he's going to complain about how the election was rigged and he's the rightful president, and try to officially start the second US civil war. |
| Topic | Male-to-female trans in women's sports..... |
| Proto_Spark 08/29/20 9:18:27 PM #55 | Gamerguymass posted... Where are you getting 10-12% from? The average man averages around 40% more muscle mass then the average women. There is no way in fuck a professional female athlete would only have 10-12% less then a man considering how much men have to work out to even be slightly competitive let alone dominant. Not unless she is taking steroid injections by the gallon. Sorry my post may have been misinterpreted. average results of high-end performances are about 10-12%, so a top male result will be about 10-12% higher than a top female result, and we see mtf athletes faces these decreases and ftm athletes see these increases. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] There is, its what happens right now from stuff like the NCAA. Things like you need a year+ on HRT so that your body fundamentally behaves like one from your identified gender. But nobody really cares about that, so we get stuff like the Macho Man thing on South Park. |

Are ftm able to compete with cis men at the pro level after being on hormones for a while? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transgender_people_in_sports#Trans_men yep, although it isn't super common, but with not many more MtF athletes, I'd argue its an issue of how few trans athletes there are in general. |
| Topic | Male-to-female trans in women's sports..... |
| Proto_Spark 08/29/20 7:37:11 PM #32 | MachineJaipur posted... If you receive natural testosterone from your testicles and have the base model muscular structure more commonly associated with a male body, If you're on something like HRT or testosterone suppressors, things like your muscular structure and bone density etc will actually change to be more in-line with the gender you may identify yourself as (ie. a MTF athlete won't be getting the same results than they were as a male athlete). This can cut out things like muscle mass and whatnot the 10-12% that we see in a difference between men and women athletes so that the actual results we see are perfectly in line. Things like the NCAA don't allow student athletes unless they have a significant amount of something like HRT done already. for like a decade at this point at least Here's what the NCAA things about including trans athletes btw if anyone wants a kind of boring read (this ones from 2011) https://www.ncaa.org/sites/default/files/Transgender_Handbook_2011_Final.pdf |

| Topic | If the PS5 w/o optical drive is $399 and the one with is $499... |
| Proto_Spark 08/27/20 12:40:37 PM #19 | On my Xbox One all the physical games I bought were basically just download codes to begin with, but still needed the actual disc to act as a license, which was just kind of annoying to work with, so if the difference in price is that significant I'd probably just buy the digital-only PS5. I'd imagine the backwards compatibility will work through the store (ie. I can buy the PS4 version of TLOU2 on the PS store for my PS5) like how it worked with the PSP/Vita. I would be reluctant to say the PS4 discs might be BC too, especially since Sony has said "most" PS4 games, which suggested to me its the games they have on the store. I'd gladly be wrong about this though. If the price difference is like <50$ I'd probably just buy the one with the disc drive since I could still use a blu-ray player and whatnot. but 100$ is probably enough for me to just keep my Xbox One plugged in. |
| Topic | Is Civil War inevitable no matter who wins the election? |
| Proto_Spark 08/27/20 12:35:14 PM #43 | Dark_SilverX posted... Biden wont be saving anything. Biden winning will probably kick the can farther down the road, but it will also allow everyone to get much more pissed off, and whatever would happen will just get that much worse since there's no way Biden is going to actually defuse anything that's building up here. But also, most American's seem to be cowards and afraid to actually make any structural changes, so its possible everyone is just going to get really hateful, and we'll only ever get very individual events of a "lone wolf" taking an extreme action against someone who disagrees politically so that we can send thoughts and prayers and never actually deal with the problems at hand. |

The issue is really just that it just went nowhere and they immediately threw Hux away. Anakin whining about sand is just cringy. |

She made that much because she was already an established name outside of modeling and porn due to being in movies and Disney Channel shows. This. lordofmud posted... Now, I'm sure I'm not the demographic of this site but is what I'm hearing correct that Only**** isn't porn. It's just "risque" pics and videos? So it could be just a video of this girl wearing underwear blow drying her hair or some other garbage. Plus, the $20 gets you one month of her page but she's not required to put anything up. Yes, this is how thirsty some dudes are. Only**** also does routinely have porn on it, so the idea is that OF is basically the middleman between something like instagram and actual porn. My only real experience is how other people have described it, so I might be wrong here but that was what I had been led to believe. |

He's always so cool and perfect at everything and better than everyone else, its like someone put their self insert fan fiction character into the DC universe and everyone is just kind of going along with it.

| Topic | DC Universe >>>>> Marvel universe |
| Proto_Spark 08/25/20 1:33:42 PM #7 | I like that DC is more willing to be their own separate thing, where Batman can come help out Superman's problem of the month, but Batman's problems don't usually follow him to Metropolis (and vise versa). Marvel having everything happening at the same time makes you want to get into everything, but also makes it less interesting when major things happen, because its just "why isn't everyone coming to help". MCU movies are for the most part better than the DCEU movies, but the MCU also keeps dropping a lot of plot points between movies due to trying to make everything fit into one universe. |
