TopicWhy car insurance getting so expensive now?
Lord_Ephraim
04/29/24 6:59:48 AM
#58
I got Kia Boy'd 2 years ago and had to trade in my car simply because my insurance tripled in price through zero fault of my own. Kia offered a free security update and steering wheel club but every insurance will see once you get kia boys you pay up rather than actually punishing thieves.

That will carry with me forever as long as a search for car insurance. Someone with zero tickets, zero accidents, zero scratches/fender benders, and excellent car maintenance. A ruined because of Tik Tok.

What proof is there that everyone who complains about bad localizations are "alt right" besides "I saw it on 4chan!".

Censorship I can see the relation because buzzwords like woke mind virus are brought up but I've seen people complain about the Super Mario RPG remake translation cause it was different from the one on the SNES. Working Designs have been criticized long before internet culture wars was even a thing.

The modern TCG is the rich kids format. Bonfire is still $90 dollars. Snake Eyes costs well over $1000, more if you want a better side deck. Master Duel is clown format because they base their banlist around not nerfing as many URs as possible.

That leaves OCG but I can't play it outside of unoffical apps, in that case I could just play goat format instead.

I've played it for a few hours now. Yeah it's pretty much Suikoden 1/2 with a different name and glossy coat of paint. I'm not the hugest fan of those games, but it's mostly from the story and characters. Eiyuden Chronicle having a voiced protagonist immediately improves it over Suikoden by a long shot. The game has a bench for story characters if you don't like them, including the main character, so you can play with favorites.

There's definately a lot of quality of live features that modern RPGs have that this doesn't. Namely fast travel at the moment, but Suikoden's whole gimmick of fast travel is tied to a party member so maybe it will be the same here.

Due to a massive increase in work, I signed a new full time contract with my employer. I was to be paid minimums of 35 hours per week regardless of how much I worked under. Obviously during lockdowns I was working 45-50 hours per week. Once it died down in late 2021, business plummeted and do did my hours but I was always paid 35 hours. It's good until 2026.

That's it. I hated everything else about lockdowns.

Dentist is booked for a week. Gotta endure this for at least week.
Look into emergency dental offices. There's some that are 24 hours. I had an impacted wisdom tooth get infected and causing 10/10 pain where nothing was working. I found one office that got me in same day and had the tooth pulled within only hours. Didn't break the bank either. I was weird that my dentist was a 6'3 guy who was jacked, but was very precise and didn't cause any pain either during the operation.

TopicFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth Has Reportedly Sold About Half of What FF7 Remake Did
Lord_Ephraim

I think it has to be suffering from sequelitis than PS5 exclusivity. After all it didn't hurt Final Fantasy 16 as much.

If someone didn't buy Remake, they're not going to buy Rebirth even if Rebirth is considered a much better game. Players don't feel obligated to play Rebirth until they play Remake, and you still have those who are holding out until every single piece of the Final Fantasy 7 remake compilation is out. Not to mention those who played Remake and didn't like it aren't going to have their minds changed if Rebirth got a better metacritic.

Funny thing is I'm a 261 refuge. Always thought he posted a lot but whether he posted useful things a lot of the time.

Now it's random ass Twitter user with double digit followers bring treated as newsworthy. And absolutely nothing is worth being spammed so much that you need 3 separate accounts.

Unless Jesus Himself came down from heaven, it can stick to one topic one user.

I agree with this. Especially if they come from reliable news sources, but random twitter click baits and conservative grave dancing (making topics about some who died who may have conservative options) was taking things too far.

Baseball became a pitching paradise when they cracked down on steroids but looked the other way when pitchers were cheating. They're still are btw.

The current trend is grinding out young arms into the dirt to achieve high strikeouts and low ERA. Starters no longer pitch 6+ innings even if they're doing well. The best teams tend to have the most robust bullpens.

The issue would resolve itself if people stop buying Ubisoft shit, even if the game isn't a "game as a service".

However people continue to spend their money on it so Ubisoft is still going to keep Ubisofting. As a consumer I just ignore every game like it and if it's the fate of all video games to be like this then well I guess it's time to find a new hobby.

So all the rage YouTubers lied when they said Square Enix and Sony are woke and hate attractive women because Tifa's breasts weren't the size of beach balls?

Ever Crisis is a gacha game. Gacha games sell predominately on sex appeal and general attractiveness. This goes especially true for series that didn't start off as gacha, like Final Fantasy 7.
Series like Fire Emblem and Atelier have had their fanservice toned down in recent official entries but when it comes to their predatory gachas, everything is literally laid bare.
Granblue Fantasy started out as a gacha, but as it branched off into other mainstream genres its fanservice was toned down a lot.

To be fair when he's actually forced to wear the beachwear he doesn't have his sword with him. That screenshot is just a normal costume change and devs are too lazy to give the outfit its own personal buster sword magnet scabbard.

I remember the silly outrage of way back when Ocarina of Time came out and people wondered how Link's sheath for his sword stayed on his back. Nintendo's "official" response was "Hyrule Velcro". Every 3D Zelda after that addressed it.
