Topic | is Chrono Cross the perfect example of a sequel doing literally everything right |
Nemu 02/09/22 11:37:13 PM #8 | Great game, but shit sequel. |
Topic | what's the most f'd up thing humanity can do in 100 years? |
Nemu 02/09/22 7:20:44 PM #4 | Mass longrange chemical warfare. |
Topic | Look at this thing. Just fucking look at it. |
Nemu 02/09/22 6:13:15 PM #5 | The ones where the items are fully in his mouth are fine, but everything else is just horrifying. |
Topic | Official Nintendo Direct Topic |
Nemu 02/09/22 5:27:31 PM #289 | Did this really need an extended preview? What a waste of time. |
Topic | Joe Rogan: Akaash Singh's Defense of Apu |
Nemu 02/09/22 10:31:35 AM #91 | I can understand the idea that lack of representation could have impacted people negatively, but I never got the point of putting that on the character's shoulders. The sterotype of Indian convenience store owner is not a negative one. It's something that exists in abundance in America, overwhelmingly so among convenience stores from what I can see. To say that is negative is to deny reality. |
Topic | All that Rogan stuff makes me wonder: When is it ever okay for a non-black |
Nemu 02/08/22 2:37:56 PM #14 | I think there's a problem with turning it into something beyond one of the worst swear words you can say. As with any slur, it shouldn't be casually dropped or used to directly belittle someone in any circumstance, but there should be no issue saying it from an academic perspective, a serious discussion in which self-censorship is silly, or anything else in that area. Yet, it seems some people want to empower the word even more by acting like the very utterance of it the worst thing someone could ever do even in proper context. |
Topic | Idea for how an All Regions pokemon game could work |
Nemu 02/08/22 12:56:08 PM #5 | They can barely make a single mostly functional region. I'd be scared of their attempts at doing ten regions. Probably look like a PS1 game. |
Topic | Are Fallout 1 and 2 still enjoyable? |
Nemu 02/08/22 10:32:55 AM #9 | I had to cheat through them. The story is fun, but the gameplay is just not at all for me. |
Topic | Head of security charged in theft of thousands of rare comics from university |
Nemu 02/08/22 9:39:25 AM #12 | Why in the bloody fuck would you ever try to sell them to a local shop? |
Topic | The QUEEN of CANADA says that BIDEN is not President of US |
Nemu 02/07/22 9:41:22 PM #4 | Joeydollaz posted... What is this, can't be real come on OP..Looks like it's some dumbass Qanon LARPing shit. |
Topic | Remove a word for the last video game you played. Replace it with profanity. |
Nemu 02/07/22 9:15:46 PM #28 | Fuckloop |
Topic | Hundreds of thousands in debt |
Nemu 02/07/22 5:09:20 PM #9 | VigorouslySwish posted... iirc that isnt how debt works, the debt dies with her. If shes old enough, fuck it and dont pay anything back imoTechnically, it goes to her estate, but sounds like she probably doesn't have anything they could go after at this point. |
Topic | Florida cyclist plummets to her death when drawbridge opens |
Nemu 02/07/22 3:59:36 PM #6 | So she must have been tossed backwards over the side when it started to raise? Feel really bad for the dude who tried to save her. Probably going to be mentally fucked by it the rest of his life. |
Topic | The Mayor of New York City, on food |
Nemu 02/07/22 3:50:42 PM #29 | The intent is fine, but the messaging is moronic. Were kinda fucked up as a society in what we consume going by the average weight going up constantly, but it is in no way comparable to drug use except in the extreme cases of eating disorders. |
Topic | The AOT manga ending sucks and I hope they change it in the anime (spoilers) |
Nemu 02/07/22 1:07:58 PM #7 | It would have been much better had Eren just stuck to his convictions all the way through. His final "it's your freedom to try to stop me" or whatever speech was a great endcap to his character, but instead it was all a ruse and he was actually just being driven insane by his 4th dimensional viewpoint. The final arc was pretty meh overall, but it would have been much better without that backpedaling. It's not like he was wrong in the idea that it was an "us or them" situation. One side would have been eradicated at the end of it regardless. |
Topic | Are you a fan of Awkwafina? |
Nemu 02/07/22 1:04:30 PM #19 | Probably the worst part of Shang Chi. If I've seen her in anything else, she wasn't memorable in any way. |
Topic | Do you personally believe in an afterlife? |
Nemu 02/06/22 7:46:30 PM #34 | Xethuminra posted... People operate just fine without using their brains all the time tho! ^.^If souls existed in the way people believe, some kind of feedback one way or the other. When a person suffers major brain damage, they can essentially become a different person, which makes the idea of some external record of yourself seem kind of pointless. Obviously, someone who believes in it can just say it's a completely immaterial thing that'll be sorted out by God. |
Topic | Do you personally believe in an afterlife? |
Nemu 02/06/22 7:35:53 PM #27 | There is no rational reason to believe one exists. Even if there are mechanics of the universe that we have yet to identify, it's quite clear that an afterlife is simply a pipe dream developed by people who didn't understand the world and still believed by people desperate for meaning. Everything we know about ourselves is tied to our brains, and there isn't a shred of evidence pointing to anything beyond that. |
Topic | Do you agree with this Pokemon take? |
Nemu 02/06/22 5:41:36 PM #20 | It does fit the description of "more mature," even if the game itself doesn't reach that level. Acknowledging more realistic things like the possibility of death outside of meme Pokedex entries at least brings a bit more weight to it, even if it ultimately just amounts to more flavor text. I don't think anyone wants some edgy shit, but most people would probably like something that doesn't cater exclusively to five year olds. You can have an all ages story that has a more realistic tone. |
Topic | Did you watch Spider-Man by yourself? |
Nemu 02/06/22 4:09:18 PM #5 | Didn't bother. The local theaters have shitty small screens, so they're only worth going to if you have multiple people and want to eat dinner while watching a movie. The closest IMAX (which was already decently far) closed down, so it's like an hour and a half drive if you want to see anything in good quality. Definitely not currently worth it. |
Topic | hearing about nba players starting basketball in their TEENS makes me so salty |
Nemu 02/06/22 4:05:15 PM #12 | Was this a high shower thought you had? |
Topic | Horses in Breath of the Wild |
Nemu 02/06/22 12:11:36 PM #12 | Pretty much just another tool in the sandbox. For what they are, I believe they work well enough. Normal controls, not overly finicky, couple useful tools you can get later. The dumbest thing is you cant use the specialty gear on the cool horse. |
Topic | $500 million OR reverse the whole Covid pandemic? |
Nemu 02/06/22 10:46:14 AM #5 | Option 2 is pretty shit because youre either erasing two years from everybody/any child born in the last two years or bringing a ton of people back to life in an a snap scenario which would destabilize a lot of peoples lives. |
Topic | Why do people on the right lane wait for the traffic light to turn green |
Nemu 02/05/22 7:27:14 PM #7 | Bad driver, stupid, impaired vision, or it's actually illegal in that circumstance. It's really fucking annoying at the lights that take stupidly long to transition because they only seem to trigger if the right turning person has stopped for an unordinarily long amount of time. |
Topic | Why do you think aliens haven't contacted us yet? |
Nemu 02/05/22 5:31:27 PM #31 | If FTL travel doesn't exist, the only way for distant space travel would either be self-sufficient colony ships or extremely advanced cryostasis. If that's the case, they have bigger worries than spying on barely developed planets, not even counting the distance would make it impossible for them to find us. If FTL travel does exist, they're likely just too far away even with that mobility. If the closest life is a billion lightyears away, then there'd be no way any trace of them would ever reach us. |
Topic | C/D: Employers should be more concern about your families when it comes to work |
Nemu 02/05/22 3:35:12 PM #4 | As in work obligations above and beyond the normal work schedule? If it's something you signed up knowing it will happen, then you're being silly. If it's something they unexpectedly dumped on you last minute, then it depends on how you view your job. |
Topic | Lol banned from reddit vecause im pro nazi punching |
Nemu 02/05/22 2:17:11 PM #119 | wackyteen posted... The anticipated and predictable consequence is that the subhuman Nazi trash knows they have no fucking place in a decent society.And if it gets to the point where idiots harm innocent people due to mistaken identity or misapplication of that terminology? |
Topic | If a bad guy points a gun at you in a public place and tries to abduct you... |
Nemu 02/05/22 2:03:55 PM #7 | There's also the silly trope of digging your own grave at gunpoint and the like. |

Topic | How many of your GRANDPARENTS are still alive?? |
Nemu 02/04/22 11:15:36 PM #15 | Pretty much 0.3 considering her mental state. |
Topic | New Iowa Bill would require spy cams in classrooms. |
Nemu 02/04/22 12:09:59 PM #17 | Not a bad idea in a vacuum. Having the resources to review how and what your kids have been learning is perfectly fine. Though that'd have to be after all schools are properly funded, so that they have the money to spend on extra things like this. This ideology behind this bill in particular is nuts, obviously. |
Topic | There's a fork in the road in a game - left path or right path first? |
Nemu 02/04/22 12:06:53 PM #2 | The opposite of whichever one looks more likely to be the correct path, so I can go explore the other areas and come back. |
Topic | Im glad we are finally addressing Pokemon on human violence |
Nemu 02/04/22 12:03:40 PM #9 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] Human-types have shit base stats, but quad resist all other types. |
Topic | Honestly, Mario peaked at 64 |
Nemu 02/04/22 11:52:45 AM #23 | Having replayed some of it through the Switch compilation, it really doesn't hold up that well. Despite a lot of the criticism of Odyssey, a good majority of the stars are basic shit you could easily complete in half the time if not for needing to reload the levels. The levels feel kind of lifeless at times. The graphics definitely don't stand the test of time, but that can be slightly forgiven due to it being a launch title. The game is buggy as shit. I'd say the movement system is probably the one thing you can't really criticize. |
Topic | Lol banned from reddit vecause im pro nazi punching |
Nemu 02/04/22 10:42:16 AM #16 | Feeling positive feelings upon seeing a shitty person being hurt is certainly fine, but directly advocating for violence/vigilantism is generally just not a good idea. All the clarification of "this one was actually a shitbag at a rally advocating for X" is ultimately moot in the wider scope that normalized violence will hurt innocent people at some point. |
Topic | This article wants you to "decolonize" your sci-fi |
Nemu 02/04/22 7:18:50 AM #11 | It feels like using that particular term is very forced to try to sound more enlightened. Personally, I dont even know the authors in the like 70% of the shit Ive read, so I dont really get the writers viewpoint. While the sentiment certainly isnt bad in any way, the article just comes off as smarmy. |
Topic | When does women's height become unattractive? |
Nemu 02/03/22 12:51:49 PM #55 | I'd say less about height and more about looking proportionally correct. There are some tall women who seem to be mostly leg height, while others are more proportionally balanced. |
Topic | Do you believe that super intelligent machines could take over the world? |
Nemu 02/03/22 8:45:27 AM #16 | Could? Yes, extremely easily if we make them advanced enough and don't have enough systems in place. Would want to? Seems doubtful. Fictional evil robots just seems like massive projection for the most part. AI could end up resenting us, but it doesn't really make a ton of sense for them to want to waste time killing us outside of a few very particular circumstances. |
Topic | Undertale really is a damn incredible game |
Nemu 02/02/22 11:37:19 AM #19 | Yeah, its easy to see what parts would be turn offs for some people, but its definitely a top game of all time. Deltarune is shaping up well as well if he can keep the momentum from chapter 2. Chapter 1 was a little weak, but it also makes sense narratively in a way as well. |
Topic | No matter how much I read about NFTs, |
Nemu 02/02/22 10:17:44 AM #16 | Irony posted... I saw a tweet of people that bought an NFT of Dune and they think they own the rights or something. I assume everyone that buys NFTs is that stupid.That was a group of idiots buying a single copy of a rare Dune artbook and thinking that gave them the ability to make a series for some reason. Same dumb mindset, but in the real world. |
Topic | Would you rather get a Devil Fruit ability or a Stand ability? |
Nemu 02/02/22 10:16:13 AM #10 | Stand would be better because even a shitty ability is a net positive because you most likely have a spooky manipulable ghost person, while a shitty fruit means you have a garbage ability and cannot swim. |
Topic | If you came into possession of a Death Note how long could you last? |
Nemu 02/02/22 7:45:29 AM #82 | Itd be next to impossible to be noticed unless you want to announce yourself. Assuming this is a world where we dont have knowledge of the series, people would jump to ghosts and curses well before dude with a magic murder book even if you stupidly used the same means of death on extremely similar targets. |
Topic | No matter how much I read about NFTs, |
Nemu 02/01/22 1:53:00 PM #11 | The majority is probably just straight up money laundering and the rest think they'll get the jump on everyone before they get the jump on them, not realizing the real profiteers are completely safe after dumping all this useless shit. Certainly, I don't believe anyone is buying them for the "art." |
Topic | Anti-work is the prevailing mindset these days amongst the young. |
Nemu 02/01/22 12:15:03 PM #61 | Like many things, everyone is on a different page due to the vague name, so it's a movement that has legitimacy but ends up bogged down by a lack of understanding. |
Topic | If guys talked more openly about steroid use we'd see a lot more stories like th |
Nemu 01/31/22 6:18:56 PM #7 | Most annoying thing is shit where people like celebrities obviously take steroids yet peddle workout routines as if those results are achievable with exercise alone. |
Topic | Grey or bad endings > happy endings |
Nemu 01/31/22 5:42:46 PM #8 | Eh, they have their own pros and cons. I'd say an overall positive end where some character resolutions may be bittersweet is probably the best. |
Topic | Florida Man Does Something Bad Again |
Nemu 01/31/22 5:30:49 PM #19 | Is it maybe some gang thing? It just seems way too damn casual, and the guy certainly doesn't give off the appearance of being so completely unhinged as to do it for no reason. Though I guess you do have to be some level of unwell to casually shoot through your own windows and leave yourself on camera like that. |
