| VintageGin 01/10/22 1:32:01 PM #29 | Dogs are good. The love for cats is what perplexes me. Dumb animals that get on top of everything, ruin furniture with their claws/urine, and have no real sense of loyalty.

| VintageGin 01/05/22 5:52:42 PM #368 | Ok, I'm late to this, but the insistence that everything is the fault of disinformation campaigns by bots is pretty stupid/lazy. While I don't doubt that it is happening to some extent, there are more more than enough regular-ass bad faith actors that we don't need to attribute it all to the bots. Unless...perhaps all of these conspiracy theories about bots are being pushed by US centrist bots?! --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |

| Topic | What is/are your least favorite game(s) you've beaten? |
| VintageGin 01/02/22 11:53:20 PM #54 | Octopath Traveler (didn't truly beat this one, but got wiped like two hours into the final boss and decided "fuck this") Rise of the Tomb Raider was not very good, but part of my dislike I attribute to wanting to 100% it and sticking with it, despite how utterly boring it was to collect everything And Yet It Moves was a pretty crappy indie game that got some acclaim at the time Golden Sun was a weirdly mediocre game for how much praise it seemed to get. I also couldn't believe it ended on a cliffhanger...never did play the second part. I own and have beaten Quest 64, but I have a bit of a soft spot for that game since I was a dumb child at the time and enjoyed it back then. I know I wouldn't like it if I replayed it (or maybe I would purely off the nostalgia trip?) --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |

| Topic | Which of these indie games am I missing out on most? |
| VintageGin 12/20/21 3:40:36 PM #27 | azuarc posted... UF8: I have not played Obra Dinn, and I'm honestly not sure at a glance whether I would love it or completely balk if I tried it. Have you played Outer Wilds? I feel like those two games are in the camp of, "if you've played one and enjoyed it, you'll probably enjoy the other." I wholeheartedly recommend both games. From the list, the games that stick out to me are: Hotline Miami Cuphead Baba is You Hotline Miami is great if you want fast-paced action that has quick retries. It feels really good when you figure out how to approach a level and nail the execution. Cuphead is a really satisfying 2D shooter with some of the coolest animation in a game. Baba is You is tough. It's a puzzle game I still haven't beaten after years of owning it, but it's so good. Like someone else mentioned, it's nice to return to (especially with others who you can quickly explain the game to) and solve puzzles after you've been away for a while. --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |
| Topic | Went through the Castlevania Advance Collection. Never played them before. |
| VintageGin 12/16/21 1:45:29 AM #26 | I liked Circle of the Moon a lot, but that's partly due to it being my first Castlevania. Also it was fun experimenting with the DSS system. Aria of Sorrow was good, but I wish it was just slightly more difficult. Harmony of Dissonance...I know I've played it, but I honestly have no memory of it. I have no idea whether I beat it or just played for a few hours or what. It's just a total blank space in my memory. --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |

| VintageGin 12/14/21 12:36:54 PM #437 | RPGlord95 posted... As helpful as hey let's ignore the opposite side because they make me feel bad. I mean the other side, even on this board, has called trans people mentally ill and mocked their very existence. Should people pretend that this has merit and that trans people should have to listen to that shit? Is there a point where we can stop pretending "both sides" have good points? Like, how long do people have to listen to the Trump fan who posted Alex Jones shit all the time and still thinks masks do nothing before they can write him off as not worth their time? --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |

| Topic | Better.com CEO lays off 900 people in a zoom call |
| VintageGin 12/11/21 5:40:46 PM #28 | Forceful_Dragon posted... I mean, you are defending people pretty hard based upon a lack of complete information. What SEP said, but I also want to add to this. I get that your intention was not to take sides, but a statement like your first one in this topic is not neutral on its face. For instance, say someone else said something along the lines of, "From what I understand, there are claims of voter fraud, and if that's the case the election deserves to be overturned." Would you agree that's definitely framing the situation in a non-neutral way? I'm not going to pretend to be neutral myself, but historically in situations where it's a company (or company head) vs workers, things are pretty stacked against the workers. And I think we should be inclined to distrust the people who have magnitudes more power and control over the situation. I also don't want this to come off as an attack or anything, though I know my first post was rather flippant. --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |
| Topic | Better.com CEO lays off 900 people in a zoom call |
| VintageGin 12/10/21 9:19:00 PM #23 | Forceful_Dragon posted... I mean, clearly how i feel about their terminations directly relates to how accurate the reporting is about the information they had gathered about work habits. Metrics that he hasn't actually shared, just claimed to have. The very equivalent of "just trust me, bro" Why should we believe anything he says when it is going to be as biased and one-sided as possible? I think it's dangerous to just accept the justification of "they were all just lazy leeches" blindly without any real consideration. Even if those metrics are true, what's your expectation for workers to do in the case where there isn't eight hours of work? Just start reporting less even if they can't survive on ten hours per week? Be less efficient so tasks drag out and take longer? There's very frequently ups and downs in the amount of work for a given office job. --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |
| Topic | My brother committed suicide and passed last night. |
| VintageGin 12/10/21 4:05:00 PM #18 | That is just fucking awful, and I'm sorry you had to go through this. And I'm sorry to hear that your brother was in so much pain that he felt this was his best option. But there's absolutely no reason to feel like you "ruined" his death. You did what anyone who cared for him would do, and I'm sure he knows that. --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |
| Topic | Better.com CEO lays off 900 people in a zoom call |
| VintageGin 12/10/21 3:59:33 PM #21 | Forceful_Dragon posted... My understanding is that they had metrics showing that some (a good chunk?) of those fired were only actively working 2~ hours a day while logging 8+ while working from home. StealThisSheen posted... For what it's worth, it sounds less like these people were just not doing anything, and more like they were straight up avoiding work. Stuff like not taking or making calls, not taking client meetings, etc. It gets dicey when you're missing actual metrics that can be checked and measured. Ah yes, let's take the word of the CEO, who is in a role that famously attracts only the best of humanity. Anyway he's now "on leave" after three execs left and the board got mad at him for attracting so much negative press. --- Ginhyun http://i.imgur.com/t7G7uoU.gif |

| Topic | Pick a metroidvania for me |
| VintageGin 11/28/21 8:29:38 AM #58 | I was not very impressed with Yoku's Island Express, even though I wanted to like it. I just found the pinball elements more tedious than fun. The Ori games are good, but I think a large part of what makes them good is the beautiful presentation. I don't think the gameplay is exceptional, but the art and storytelling make them very enjoyable. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |

| Topic | Supergiant Games |
| VintageGin 11/25/21 3:29:26 PM #17 | Bastion > Transistor > Hades > Pyre for me My love of Bastion is admittedly probably influenced by the fact that it came first, but the narration, the art, and just everything made that experience something special. Transistor was neat and was an interesting twist on action combat. The story felt compelling too, but it overall left less of an impression on me. Hades is a very well-designed game, but roguelikes/roguelites rarely do it for me. I basically escaped once and then checked out of the game. Pyre was interesting but the main mechanic of the game made it so I could no longer use the characters I cared about the most, and then I lost interest and stopped playing. --- Ginhyun https://imgur.com/t7G7uoU |
