I remember topics back in 2011 where users suggested we start mining bitcoin.

I am guessing they are all rich now is why those threads purged.

I remember this going viral in 2013.

I remember even MSNBC having an unfavorable Biden poll. Can't be good if even left leaning media is saying these things.

Was there ever a story where Russia was floating the idea of flooding a tunnel and risking the lives of hostages?

Maybe the Russia war kinda stopped being covered. But I don't remember hearing stuff like that or them killing civilians waiting for food trucks.

Yep it went to the moon after the general died.

I remember seeing those generals as far back as 2016. I stopped checking around 2021. I just now look at the price and was shocked bitcoin was around $400 back in 2016 it is now about 62,000. Did everyone in thread make life changing money why those generals purged?

Sounds like a war crime.

Is it the best NBA Youtube channel?

Did you have one that you prefer over them? Or did the title make you think about something else?

Guess videogamedunkey might have played a part in making it relevant.

Just saw this thread surprised no one said YouTube. A lot of people go their for gaming related stuff. Videogamedunkey is an example of one of those people who have a following talking about video games. Not sure anyone could gain such a following on GameFAQs or make as much money off talking or playing video games like Youtube offers.

Fandom wikis are trash by the way. 30+ ads on the screen, sometimes incomplete information, no context or elaboration. And very few guided walkthroughs or recommended strategies etc.

It's literally just like the Appendix section of a FAQ without any direction. Not all that useful.

Yea. One issue is this question is being asked on GameFAQs so the people left may have a bias toward text based guides. Compared to people on YouTube or Twitch who may have a different opinion of text based guides.

1) With the rise of Steam and mobile games, there are now waaaaay more games than in previous generations and the hobbyist FAQ writer population is about the same as it's always been.

2) Big, expansive games (Baldur's Gate 3, e.g.) are too much of an undertaking for any single writer to fiddle with (much less a lot of branching if/then aspects)

3) The presence of wikis or highly scoped articles fills roughly the same niche as FAQs, and can easily be done by a relatively large squad of people.

Yeah, FAQs are dying. A lot of it is technology driven. They're basically the equivalent of landline telephones imo.

Yea. I could understand if it was smaller games but it major games out there without guides. I guess I have to name names since the side saying it not dead don't have to name a name. Mortal Kombat 1 is an example of a game that didn't have a guide. It was only a couple days ago a guide was made and even then the person links to YouTube in guide lol.

That is kinda what sparked thread. I was wondering if YouTube is where people go to make guides they don't come here.

[LFAQs-redacted-quote]


That of course assumes the game has a guide. Is this a situation where people don't come to this site for newer game guides where they aren't noticing this issue? Should I start linking to these 2023-2024 game boards without guides?

Holy_Cloud105 posted...

SBAllen had said before the guides generate the most traffic on the site. Having text guides is generally much better than YouTube videos, imo.

Maybe I need to be clearer. I am talking about a Game being released in 2023 and 2024 having no guides. I am not talking about older games having guides and the traffic to that.

A lot of new games continue to come out and they don't have guides here while you can just search Youtube and see dozens of guides and walkthroughs up in a day of the games release.

If they are dead what led to it?

Isn't MetalGreymon a Digimon?

Just saw the death video and wtf at the cops constantly screaming get on the ground. Dude was on fire it didn't seem likely he could do anything to them like grab a gun and shoot in that situation. I have to imagine dude was in pain.

This topic is wrong in a way that borders on antisemitism. Like, this topic might should be closed ( -_-)

I can't remember the last time I saw a Passover topic on CE or Yom Kippur. So maybe the deeply religious Jewish people post elsewhere. And aren't reporting this post or even commenting that if it true/false.

Maybe I should just google this too to answer it.

Dungeater posted...

what's the source on this? ive never heard anything about it and a quick google isnt turning anything up

Well there should be Jewish people on CE to discuss this. But think it more likely we have people googling.

True. The longer she stays in, the more he'll insult her, and each sexist insult can become an attack ad.

Yep that is the best thing about Biden being an incumbent. No debates or having to compete against another Democrat. No one is even thinking if Biden can beat other Dems like Trump has to deal with.

I think 2028 will be interesting when Dems have to fight each other again.

Wasn't there a survey a while back that a lot of younger men are single. Kinda hard to have kids if you aren't in a relationship to even be in that possible situation.

I thought it was a better controller thread. No idea why OP asked better console but posted their controllers.

Home invasion and gangrape. When I heard it I was thinking about how a similar thing happened to Fran Drescher in the 80s.

Can you even get a burrito and drink at Chipotle for $6.99 lol. This probably depends on the fast food place.

If I'm the backup kicker at Middle Tennessee State, I'm ecstatic with $600. If I'm the star QB at Ohio State, I'm already making pro money or better, so no biggie.

I was thinking the same thing. Backups get the same amount of money as starters. Some random punter will get the same as the Heisman candidates.

https://www.espn.com/college-football/story/_/id/39574788/players-opting-ea-sports-college-football-25-get-600

For over 11,000 college football players, Thursday will be the first chance to opt in to EA Sports' new college football game, EA Sports College Football 25, and get paid for it. EA Sports has finalized its name, image and likeness plan and will begin the opt-in process. Up to 85 players per school will initially appear on rosters in the game, which comes out this summer. All athletes who opt in to have their name, image and likeness appear will eventually receive $600, plus a copy of the game that's typically valued at $70. Athletes would remain in the game for their entire careers but could opt out of future editions if they choose. Athletes who remain in the game for multiple years will be paid annually, and players who transfer will continue to be compensated as long as they are on a roster. "We feel very proud that we'll be the largest program, likely the highest-spending program," EA Sports vice president of business development Sean O'Brien told ESPN. "And really an inclusive opportunity with an equitable distribution of funds across the board."

To help arrive at the $600 payment, O'Brien said EA Sports looked at deals completed with other sports titles, including the Madden NFL series, the NHL series and the company's soccer game. EA Sports' college football deal comes with no expectation of services provided by the athlete and will be guaranteed regardless of the game's success. "There's nothing been done on this scale that EA is doing, where every student-athlete that participates in the game is guaranteed revenue," said Cory Moss, the CEO of the Collegiate Licensing Company, which has worked with EA on the game. There will also be more than 100 additional NIL opportunities for athletes to work with EA Sports. These could include social media posts, on-campus promotions, advertisements or even being the game's cover athlete. And it might go further than college football players. O'Brien said EA Sports plans Herto pay athletes from other men's and women's college sports to promote the game.

How could you take the screenshot and it be zero if you weren't using the boards?

The lowest I seen was like 150 during that read only mode thing.

I know they removed the politics board. But wondering what has been the best thing they added to the site?

I hope gamefaqs does this too got high karma users.

GameFAQS isn't an independent company. They are owned by Fandom and fired the previous admin a GameFAQs a couple months ago. If that is how they treat SBAllen can't think they would do anything for regular users.

Maybe they could even bring back Terrence Howard and Edward Norton as variants of Rhodey and Bruce.

If Secret Wars doesn't have Human Torch Chris Evans meeting Captain America Chris Evans I will be disappointed.

I could understand dropping characters in the previous Gen of movies. But with this multiversal stuff seems like it made it even easier to recast anyone. Just say they are a variant and recast.

https://www.reuters.com/markets/deals/reddit-plans-reserve-shares-its-big-users-ipo-wsj-reports-2024-02-21/

Social media platform Reddit plans to sell a chunk of its IPO shares to its platform's users, the Wall Street Journal reported, on Wednesday. It aims to reserve an as-yet-undetermined number of shares for 75,000 of its most prolific so-called redditors when it goes public next month, the report said, citing people familiar with the matter. The users will have the opportunity to buy Reddit shares at its initial public offering (IPO) price before the stock starts trading, a privilege normally reserved only for big investors, the report said.The San Francisco-based company, which was valued at about $10 billion in a funding round in 2021, declined to comment. Reuters in January reported that Reddit has drawn up detailed plans for its IPO in March. It had filed confidentially for its IPO back in December 2021. The IPO market has not yet fully recovered as it has been struggling for the last two years with low volumes while several new entrants trade below their IPO prices.

How about that Reddit users having the ability to make money them going public and having a stake in company. Found out while GameFAQs was read only.

CE was ahead of their time with that Black Pope meme.

As part of the package Sweden also earmarks cash for the purchase of material through international Ukraine funds, and 1 billion crowns for the purchase of around 10 new armoured combat vehicles that will be ready for delivery to Ukraine in 2026.

Damn 2026 is the earliest for just that part of the aid. Hopefully Ukraine didn't suffer any major loses while they were waiting for this such as having to withdraw from a major towns.

https://www.advocate.com/news/transgender-student-death-raichik-walters

In Oklahoma, the death of a transgender student after they were assaulted in a school bathroom has sparked widespread outrage and sorrow. Nex Benedict, a sophomore at Owasso High School, was brutally beaten by other students earlier this month and died the following day. The incident has drawn national attention, with many attributing the violent act to a culture of transphobia they say is being stoked by state officials. The assault on Benedict, 16, happened on February 7, when three older girls attacked them in the girls bathroom, Tulsa NBC affiliate KJRH reports. A teacher intervened to stop the fight. Staff didn't call an ambulance, the outlet noted. Benedict's grandmother, who was their guardian, took the teenager to the hospital that day. They went back the next day after Benedict became ill. Benedict died that evening.

The grandmother, Sue Benedict, told The Independent that her child had been the subject of months of intensifying bullying that began earlier in 2023 after Oklahomas Republican-led government banned transgender students from using school bathrooms that align with their gender identity. I didnt know how bad it had gotten, she told the outlet. Benedict told their grandmother that they and another trans student had fought the other students in the bathroom, according to the Independent. The teen told her they'd hit their head on the floor. Sue Benedict said she was told by the school that her grandchild had received a two-week suspension after the assault. She said she was enraged that medical services weren't called even though Nex had bruises on their face. I was very open with my children to be who and what they thought was best, Sue Benedict told the outlet.They could talk to me about anything, as long as that respect goes both ways. A child needs to figure out who they are and what they want to be, and you cannot force it upon them. Nex did not see themselves as male or female, Sue Benedict said. Nex saw themselves right down the middle. I was still learning about it, Nex was teaching me that. This incident has ignited a debate about the safety of transgender and nonbinary students in schools, the responsibility of educational leaders to foster inclusive environments, and the potential consequences of spreading harmful ideologies.

She should open a Threads or Bluesky account.

Get off of Twitter guys.

There is probably more people on Twitter. Kind of like how Reddit has all those celebs doing AMAs. Celebs aren't coming to gamefaqs to do an AMA not that many people to promote their projects or even ask questions lol.

Kansas City police have said the shooting appeared to stem from a dispute between several people and not celebratory gunfire.

So is this meant to be like a bill where they claimed they did something? Not saying celebratory gunfire is good. But if that wasn't the cause for shooting why is that the thing they ban.

https://www.rollingstone.com/politics/politics-news/yulia-navalnaya-temporarily-suspended-x-putin-1234971249/

The widow of Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny was temporarily suspended from X, formerly Twitter, on Tuesday after announcing she would continue her dead husbands fight against Vladimir Putins authoritarian government. Since Navalnys death on Friday, Yulia Navalnaya has led a public campaign to pressure the Russian government for the return of her husbands body, and for cooperation from the international community in holding the Putin government accountable for his death. Russian authorities claim the imprisoned dissident died after a sudden collapse on Friday while serving a 19-year sentence at a prison in Western Siberia. Navalnaya created an X account on Monday, and posted a video accusing the Kremlin of keeping Navalnys body in order to hide traces of poisonous substances that may have been used to engineer his death. They are hiding his body not showing or giving it to his mother and they lie. Waiting for the traces of Putins latest Novichok to disappear, she said in the video.

Her account was suspended Tuesday after posting a video of Navalnys mother, Lyudmila Navalnaya, demanding her sons body be returned to the family. Im reaching out to you, Vladimir Putin. The resolution of this matter depends solely on you. Let me finally see my son. I demand that Alexeis body is released immediately so that I can bury him like a human being, she said, according to a translation from The Guardian. During the suspension, Navalnaya wrote on Telegram that she had been shadow banned Twitter has imposed restrictions on my account, which I opened yesterday, Navalnaya wrote on Telegram. Twitter representatives did not comment on what this was about, she added, noting that followers also reported being unable to find her in searches. Navalnayas account was restored after several hours. X claimed on Tuesday that her account was mistakenly flagged by the platforms mechanism against manipulation and spam.
