| ThePieReborn 01/27/22 11:43:07 AM #32 | darkprince45 posted... I really feel like theres some kind of issues with the same small select group of users here. The virtue signaling and assumptions towards people is just gross.I mean, I'm going to make assumptions about someone living in a suburb who owns a lifted truck. That's part of the contract they implicitly agreed to. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |
| Topic | Small illustration of why we have a climate change problem. |
| ThePieReborn 01/27/22 11:33:13 AM #26 | My first vehicle was a 2002 F150 (bought used in 2010). I got good usage out of it both in terms of hauling and using the bed (everyone is happy you have it when they need furniture or other things moved and your charging price is food/beer). My current truck is a 2020 Ranger, although current year F150s are significantly larger than my old one (and my Ranger is just slightly smaller in width and bed length than my 2002 F150). I grew up on a farm and learned to drive with pick-ups, so they're still my preference even if I don't necessarily need a bed. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |
| Topic | MGS2 came out 21 years ago |
| ThePieReborn 01/27/22 10:56:10 AM #25 | UnfairRepresent posted... Now there's a game that legitimately might be top 3 narratives in gamingI remember I wrote an English paper basically right after my first playthrough that discussed how interactive media (video games) has unique ways of creating a narrative. Silent Hill 2 featured very prominently in that paper, and my teacher (a 40ish year old woman) was actually really interested to learn more about the game and story. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |
| Topic | MGS2 came out 21 years ago |
| ThePieReborn 01/27/22 10:47:37 AM #22 | g0ldie posted... MGS2's actual narrative was weak, IMO - poor writing, inorganic dialogue, weak characterization, story told in a way that would halt the flow of gameplay (PowerPoint type exposition that would last for a long while), etc.Agreed. The execution and structure was lacking, especially compared to MGS3, but the themes and backdrop were on point despite those issues. The meta/fourth wall breaking bits were very well executed though. I will always remember my first playthrough in Arsenal Gear, and to this day, the only other game that has so thoroughly unsettled me as the last part of MGS2 was the last third of Silent Hill 2 when everything starts to fall into place. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |

| ThePieReborn 01/26/22 6:19:19 PM #112 | I'm struggling to see what makes this vaccine different from the other metrics/requirements/conditions that hospitals impose on potential recipients. I have my doubts that this would be the first lawsuit of its kind, and even still, there are not any novel issues because it comes down to a wrongful death and/or medical malpractice claim. Like I said, I would hedge my bets on summary judgment if a claim is filed at all. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |

| Topic | Were you scared of the Shadow Temple in Ocarina of Time? |
| ThePieReborn 01/26/22 11:34:35 AM #4 | Yes. The Water Temple also spooked me as a lad because I had come close to drowning in a lake, so underwater segments caused me discomfort. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |

| Topic | Regarding Final Fantasy XIV: ARR and the "Play 50 hours" Promise |
| ThePieReborn 01/25/22 2:42:20 PM #20 | Yep, I had the same experience. Same spot where it really clicked, too, although I did a fair amount of side quests that got me immersed a little more. I'm probably done with it now that I finished the Endwalker MSQ unless I hear rumblings that catch my interest later. The MMO life just isn't for me. But 460ish hours well spent, and I was very satisfied. The last thing I did was apparently a Shadowbringers-arc side quest for Dark Knight, but it was, in my eyes, the perfect place for me to stop after the Endwalker MSQ. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |

I've kinda just been levelling each class evenly, but driller more than the others.I would say yes. It'll also open up deep dives for your driller for additional cores. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |

| ThePieReborn 01/12/22 2:07:18 PM #21 | viewmaster_pi posted... yeah, engi's not in a great place at the moment, once you promote your character, you can start getting overclocks that are like big special mods for your weapons, you'll find that all his suck, too. for example, the shotgun's best overclock is the one that gives it more ammo... that's it. no unique playstyle change, no special effects, no penetrating shots or anything, just ammoEh, disagree. Magnetic pellet alignment for them sweet range kills. I do agree that Engi's primaries are lackluster compared his secondaries. --- Party leader, passive-aggressive doormat, pasta eater extraordinaire! |
