| VintageGin 09/23/20 8:30:30 PM #201 | Mac Arrowny posted... IIRC, having Saving Grace (is that the ability that gives you more than 9999HP?) on all your characters for the final boss is super helpful. It's up to 9999, not above that --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| Topic | What are some indie games on the Switch that are worth checking out? |
| VintageGin 09/22/20 6:04:29 PM #19 | Should probably mention I've played Cuphead Ori 1 Undertale Outer Wilds Just not on Switch, so they weren't on my mind when asking for recs! I also have Stardew Valley on my PC, but haven't played yet. Was planning on doing coop with my wife at some point. Thanks for reminding me about Minit and INSIDE-- those are both games that have been at the back of my mind to try but forgot about. Yoku's Island Express I also remember hearing positive things about, so I'll have to give it a try! --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 09/22/20 3:07:07 PM #5 | skullbone posted... Shovel Knight Oh yeah, I still need to play Shovel Knight Is Hades out of Early Access? I liked Dead Cells for the first few hours I played it, but kinda lost interest after that...it felt like there wasn't enough variation or something Haven't played Dicey Dungeons or Slay the Spire Beat Guacamelee 1 and enjoyed it, but it felt a little forgettable...also keep forgetting it has a sequel I own Enter the Gungeon and was playing coop with a friend but that's on hold for now --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 09/19/20 1:21:22 AM #115 | Corrik7 posted... He made it very clear. No Senate in all of history has ever confirmed an opposing white houses justice in their final year of office. You complain about twisting words, and yet this is not what McConnell said. He never specified this in 2016. Stop pretending to be some logical arbiter and own up to the fact that you are playing for your side like you claim others are. It's ridiculous. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 09/19/20 12:32:39 AM #102 | Corrik7 posted... Unless he could have a third term, he was a lame duck. I know it's from the last topic but dude, that is not what lame duck means despite McConnell's attempts to change the definition to suit his needs. Look it up, this is not what it means and has not been what it means. Stop making excuses for your side or at least own up and say that's what you're doing. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 09/16/20 3:41:17 PM #29 | It's unclear whether there will be any stock by BF given there are supply chain issues caused by COVID Also I'm taking time off in October for the express purpose of playing games and would like my PC built and any needed troubleshooting finished by then PSU is probably overkill but I'm mostly just going with something that has a lot of headroom because (from what I've read) PSUs tend to be more efficient when max load is decently below the PSU's rated wattage --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 09/10/20 2:11:19 AM #9 | paperwarior posted... Chocolate is more versatile, when combined with other things. Some things are just not a good combination with vanilla. what how in the world is vanilla less versatile have you seen how many things vanilla is in? it's used in so many things because it's delicious and combines well with other flavors it's even in a lot of chocolates for god's sake --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| Topic | Magic the Gathering Topic: Zendikar (Almost) Rising |
| VintageGin 09/09/20 12:34:09 AM #89 | I feel like without traps and quests, the new Zendikar still isn't really capturing the adventure world aspects that I liked about the first Zendikar. Party is sorta interesting, but I dunno. The set really isn't resonating with me very much based on the spoilers, which is a bummer since really liked Zendikar and was excited to see it sans Eldrazi. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |
| Topic | Building a new PC |
| VintageGin 09/08/20 1:57:40 AM #17 | So it turns out there's been a PSU shortage this year due to coronavirus disrupting supply chains and a lot of the components being made in China. The PSU I was planning to get is the Corsair HX850-- not sure if I should just wait and hope it's back in stock this month or just try for something else. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |
| Topic | so it seems like there's a bunch of indie crossover fighting games |
| VintageGin 09/08/20 1:51:23 AM #6 | Paratroopa1 posted... These indie game crossovers are funny because when I don't know the character it's like "who the HELL are you" but when I do know the character I'm like "OH SHIT IT'S THEM" Absolutely --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |
| Topic | Taskmaster is great |
| VintageGin 09/07/20 11:55:49 PM #47 | I saw several individual tasks before watching any of the full episodes, but I think the moment that hooked me was Romesh's immediate reaction to the watermelon task on ep 1. scarletspeed7 posted... Hugh and Mel are the high point of the series, but the entire series is phenomenal. Eh, S6 was fine. It wasn't the best season, but I'd say it's about on par with S3 (which felt pretty forgettable). --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |
| Topic | Good diets for mentally lazy people? |
| VintageGin 09/06/20 1:31:29 PM #14 | Generally my three rules for myself are: Skip breakfast Avoid high-calorie snacks Limit sugar (ideally aiming for <30g/day if possible) It works for me, and keeping track of sugar intake is generally easier than calories. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |
| Topic | What is your current comfort level doing things during this pandemic |
| VintageGin 09/04/20 5:30:47 PM #7 | Between 3 and 4. Willing to go to beaches and stuff if there's no crowds. I also go running (though not currently due to smoke issues) and just cross the street if I'm approaching someone. But I also live in a multi-unit building with friends and we just consider ourselves one "pod", so it makes things a lot easier considering it means we can socialize/hang out with each other. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |
| Topic | Coronavirus Topic 11 |
| VintageGin 09/03/20 2:59:15 PM #356 | My biggest concern over a rushed vaccine is that if there are any issues/side-effects it gives anti-vaxxers more "ammo" for their stupidity However, I also think it's not unreasonable to be skeptical of a rushed-through vaccine that may surface right before an election, breaking all previously projected timelines --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |
| Topic | Magic the Gathering Topic: Zendikar (Almost) Rising |
| VintageGin 09/03/20 2:38:26 PM #68 | The one problem I see with modal flip cards as opposed to transformation is that you're potentially flipping (and unflipping after game end) more cards per game which could get really annoying. But then again I've always hated DFCs. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| Topic | Taskmaster is great |
| VintageGin 09/01/20 4:45:42 PM #1 | I feel like I haven't really seen anyone talk about this. My wife discovered the show on youtube a few months back (they've been uploading all of their epsiodes) and we're up to season 7. The basic premise is that of a British panel show, but months before the show all of the contestants (usually comedians) are given tasks that they need to complete within a given time period. A lot of the tasks encourage people to be creative and find rules loopholes. They are given no indication of how well they did the task until they watch the footage of the tasks later with everyone, with a lot of banter between the contestants and the hosts. It's hard to describe but it brings the same joy to me as old Whose Line episodes despite having a fairly different format. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 09/01/20 2:59:45 PM #14 | Mac Arrowny posted... Personally I'd double the size of the SSD and skip the HDD, especially since games requiring SSDs are becoming a thing and will probably be the norm from next year on, due to the PS5 and XSX releases. I was actually considering getting just the SSD for now and ordering another SSD down the line. Does that make sense, or should I just get a bigger SSD now? --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

Given that I was going to get a 2070s, should I just get the 3070 instead? I have no idea how much the 2070s price is expected to drop. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

Just FYI Nvidia is set to announce their next generation cards any day now, which may have an effect on GPU prices. Might want to keep that in mind. That's good to know! May buy some of the other components in the meantime. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| Topic | Just a few episodes of LOST to go (spoilers) |
| VintageGin 08/31/20 7:45:22 PM #64 | I've seriously considered watching The Leftovers because it seems interesting. A more rational me would probably watch and enjoy the show, but I don't think I'm there yet. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |
| Topic | Just a few episodes of LOST to go (spoilers) |
| VintageGin 08/31/20 7:37:08 PM #60 | Lost's final season is the reason I no longer trust Lindeloff/Cuse. I've actively avoided anything with them involved since then. I could've gotten behind "it's all about the characters" if most of the characters in S6 weren't cardboard cutouts of themselves. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| VintageGin 08/11/20 7:23:33 PM #3 | Also are there any recs people have for games in a similar vein to Obra Dinn and Outer Wilds? They're different games but both have the element of slowly gathering information to piece things together over time that I really enjoyed. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| Topic | Beat Return of the Obra Dinn last night |
| VintageGin 08/11/20 1:25:08 PM #1 | Pretty enjoyable game. Was previously interested, but never got around to playing it until now. I definitely had a few crew members who I more or less brute forced the answers to once I had it narrowed down enough, but there were still plenty of "aha!" moments throughout. Would love to see more mystery games structured in a similar way. Ending was a little disappointing, though it did explain stuff. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

I was braking pretty hard right before the fall, and I was also wearing full gear. So even though I slid along the ground for a while, the only injuries I sustained were some scrapes where my gloves failed me. Still have some scars on my wrists but they're pretty minor. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |
