So, uh, can we talk about it?

Whether it's beating a very difficult game, getting 100% on a game, getting a speedrun finished, doing some sort of challenge run, etc.

I'm not really the type to go for 100% clears a lot, but I enjoyed Kid Icarus: Uprising so much I was compelled to get all the Achievements without using the skips. Towards the end of that I was genuinely worried it wasn't healthy... (the second to last level on the hardest difficulty is absolutely brutal).

Somehow I cleared that one but the one I'm missing is the ring of chaos on 9.0

Mine is probably fzero gx on very hard

Oh, another recent card thing I did was get the complete set of Doctor Who MTG UB cards by that I mean I just bought the four premade commander decks. Did not realize that just buying those gave you all the unique cards of the set, and the boosters are just collector boosters that give you variants. Im not really a Magic player, I have no idea how to get into it and even if I did Id want to play standard still, it was fun finding the commander decks and putting all the cards in one big binder.

I recommend Arena since it gives you free starter decks to use and teaches you the rules if you want to learn how to play. I would not recommend commander as your first actual MTG playing experience.

if that 3 is the 3 I'm thinking of, that's the "extra hard" part of the DLC and you absolutely don't have to do that to finish the dlc stuff. Each of the 3 areas has one.

Remember when I said this? Frigid outskirts is one of those. have fun

Anyone do the outlaws prerelease? I got an alt art mana drain from the vault list!

Oh word? So you don't get how american corporations would harness this to maximize productivity by eliminating bathrooms from the workplace. You'd be locked in at your desk/station all day. Especially when they also stitch up something to either inject or feed you a ration at selected times.

I assume catesdb was thinking more with regards to the mechanics rather than outside forces. IE as stated in the OP "Would you be okay with pissing/****ing yourself" which would be the downside, it'd be purely mental and whether you could adapt to the idea of doing this.

My answer is both, I guess. I would absolutely use it at home, just to save time. They'd also be really nice for road trips or going to events. But at work, having a nice little bathroom break to calm down and have a little me time can redeem an entire day.

That said, I'd definitely not poop around people. Surely the stink would get out there, even if briefly, and that'd be fucking horrible.

Counterpoint: Don't tell your boss you have this tech, take bathroom breaks anyway even if you don't need them

I like the play boosters, it sucks having your rare in pack 3 be not in your colors, more rares = more chances to have a consistent draft

I was told bank is not subject to this

That game had online? I own it but never played it; what am i missing?

Essentially 3 on 3 but after a certain amount of team deaths one player turns into an uber stats god player to try and facilitate a comeback, and if that uber player dies its game over

I got that while loading this topic and thought it was some epic prank, but I reloaded and the topic showed. I thought this was some super meta joke lol

are you...sure? it is april fools

nvm it seems real, damn

TomNook7 posted...

thats about where im at lol.

still stuck at elana, but also found cerah, graverobber, and varg and its not much easier lmao. After absolutely sweeping through the main game, this DLC has completely stopped me in my tracks

if that 3 is the 3 I'm thinking of, that's the "extra hard" part of the DLC and you absolutely don't have to do that to finish the dlc stuff. Each of the 3 areas has one.

see I consider endpoint 3 the true one because it does actually bring closure to the game in a way that actually solves the game's problem while also giving you a reason to keep playing narrative wise. The problem being "Whats' gonna happen when the olympians find out persephone is down there?

The story doesn't really feel truly complete for me until you beat that. But it does indeed take a lot of playtime.

there is more, and it basically boils down to "keep beating the game, and keep being friends with the gods" iirc

TomNook7 posted...

Lol yeah i figured it out. They only show respect if you fight their leaders

Also the ancient dragon killed me with its flying fire attack a couple times because i forgot depleting your stamina makes it so you cant run for a couple seconds

Kind of. It's more "if you try to leave the area" will they turn on you.

Sorry that I somehow put my main bracket in the coinflip group too. I have no idea how that happened or how to remove it because espn.com is inscrutable to me.

the espn layout this year is horrendous, we were talking about it in the discord how it apparently just auto adds a bracket you make to each group you join or something if you used the link, you had to do some weird process to get them sorted out.

Thanks espn

Is this the one where basically all of the initial roster shown was diff versions of goku and vegeta

I'm always more shocked at just how much crap Ice and Grass are weak to despite how good they are at attacking, and also what Steel is strong against when attacking (like, yes, I get strong versus Fairy because of the whole "can't stand cold iron" but nothing else ever makes sense to me what it hits strong and what resists it.)

Fairy specifically was made to buff steel and poison as attacking types and nerf dragon, I don't think there's much logic behind that one.

I like how people according to that tweet suspected this would happen anyway. Like how bad of a rep do you have to have

It's not so much about missing lore as it is there's basically a lock on the true endgame content unless, as colegreen said, you forge a bond with most of the gods. I definitely had to do some grinding at a certain point because I hadn't been doing that.

as far as gameplay goes, darkness is definitely the most essential investment since as it's been said, mirror is p much your end all be all for upgrades, esp death defiances. Load up on those whenever possible imo.

The other stuff you'll just get as you play but I wouldn't neglect anything, ambrosia and nectar in particular will be helpful in progressing the story at a reasonable manner if you've been gifting it all game.

I'm pretty low key here. I try to respect people I just call them out on double standards and oddities in things they claim which gets some people super mad. Like I'm not saying XIII is virtue signaling as some sort of attack I am saying that because that's literally what he's doing. He's trying to make people feel guilty for telling a troll to stop posting and mocking said troll while simultaneously absolving himself for doing as bad or worse to other posters like MWC.

I honestly don't get how you could ever think I'm a troll if it wasn't "oh no that guy said something I didn't agree with and articulated his point well-- I'm going to pretend he's a troll so I don't have to accept that I might be in the wrong here."

So yeah. Sensitive. And very scary imo.

You aren't low key, you're very high and mighty when you post. You aren't a troll but you think very highly of yourself and assume anyone who sees you differently is a single cell organism.

There was the odd sign that he listened to the posts, but it was all coming through an LMS filter. Like he'd go from referencing youtube randos to like "yeah sorry to mention another 'youtube rando' BUT this thing they said is bad because...". He's unable to move off that topic but showed at least some evidence that he was trying to make his posts fit the audience a bit more. Granted it was wildly unsuccessful and the posts were still all over the place but his posts aren't one completely homogenous blob - there was a kind of progression.

I mean the real solution for him if he truly wants to interact with people is realize that the way he wants to do so, isn't how the rest of the board wants him to do so. So he can either foist his way onto us, or make a sacrifice. If he's trying to have his cake and eat it too then that obv isn't going to fly.

What I will say is that I haven't noticed LMS being like, outwardly hateful like Ulti or something, so there is that. He is just "annoying" not literal scum. The bit is so old though.

XIII_Rocks posted...

Well firstly I don't think he's "knowingly" shitting up anything. He believes his posts have value and are relevant.

What is or isn't bullying is a fairly subjective line. I can't tell you what point I became comfortable with calling the responses to LMS that, but to me it has to be sustained so it would have been after months or years. What do you think would have to be happening for that to be a word you'd be comfortable using?

At some point the burden is on the individual to realize their posts aren't wanted, even if they believe they have value. No one else does, it's not bullying to tell them so imo. But we're also past the point of "How many times do we have to teach you this lesson old man?" like telling him his posts suck at this point to his face isn't gonna do anything, so I get why you think it's bullying. I don't though, he knows what he's doing.

why don't people just block him, there's no shame in it. It's not like you're a better person for refusing to use the block feature

The DLC areas are all brutal

how do you feel about blighttown

don't ask questions

Isquen posted...

Yeah the poison area is rough.
Good thing you aren't there yet.

*shudder*

if you (Earthen peak spoilers) burn the windmill in the tower, you can drain the poison from earthen peak, which I find basically necessary for the boss

in S/V it's never been easier to just make money by selling all the random stuff you find lying around.

remember when the rams offered 2 1sts for burns Panda does and I sure do, ha ha ha ha

Was nomura in charge of this one too? A comment that I saw after the first game had really started to come out with the twist, someone was like "Nomura needs to calm down with his fighting against fate fetish" and man this game sure seems like more of that!

It even seems like it plays more like kingdom hearts than the first one from what I saw?

super happy for him

yeah i kinda agree with you here. Do you still work fast food, you absolutely hated it right? Lots of people like fast food though. They are always short of workers.

I didn't "absolutely" hate it, but it was kinda crap yeah. I don't, it was my first job for about 5 years though so I got enough of it for a lifetime

3% probably sounds about right in my estimation of my time in retail, in terms of negative impression. They are so rare but they really just ruin your day and make your life unreasonably stressful as a result.

I've always felt everyone in the US should spend six months working in retail or food service. You'd never get an asshole customer again.

Honestly people say this all the time but I'm not convinced, instead you'd get a bunch of people who think they now have a right to gripe at people because they had to go through it.

GranTurismo posted...

Like what do the bad ones really do though? They are usually there for like 15 mins right?

In fast food context I would say deliberately talking bad about the staff, to the staff, when the staff have done nothing wrong, just because it's not as fast as they'd like.

Or other things the staff don't have any control over, like complaining about prices etc. Find someone who cares or complain to corporate.

I worked fast food as my first job and I def ran into the occasional person who, upon me trying to upsell them as required by my job, would get irate and be like DID I ASK FOR THAT?

I also second the notion that the worst customers make more of an impact than the best.

Naaaaaw that's not what that was lol.

Ice Queendom is something else.

If RWBY isn't being made by the current CRWBY, it isn't RWBY.

Honestly, some of the story decisions past few seasons have been really baffling and have p clearly been ways to move it along to different regions even if they don't make sense. I wouldn't mind a diff storyteller taking over.

I think it's fine to say both "AI is becoming a problem for scams" and "AI was not the main problem with this particular scam"

Didn't he reduce his salary much more than necessary though? He halved his while other execs took less of a cut

The low effort had to have been intentional cause the planners wanted to go viral... right?

It's a grifter, plain and simple.
