Topic | Are there any football RPGs? |
argonautweakend 04/26/24 4:32:53 PM #9 | I don't know of any football RPGs but the soccer game Football Manager is kind of rpg esque in a way but there is no real story outside of what you choose to do. And you are the manager and not an individual player, but player progression feels kind of rpg esque without the visible EXP like random battles. |

Topic | Any time my mom gets mail from a certain criminal |
argonautweakend 04/18/24 1:18:18 PM #8 | This is about as low risk as it can get. My own mother would never report me to the police and if I throw out mail she isn't expecting she has no idea. Comparatively I think I signed up for something when I was 18 and once in a while I get mail from it. She could throw it out and I'd be like "thanks", and thats stuff I likely agree with. |

argonautweakend 04/18/24 11:47:57 AM #2 | I suppose this topic could be construed as bait for political purposes, but that is not my intention. The mail just gets "you're fired" the second I see the name on it. |

Topic | Office politics are so stupid |
argonautweakend 04/18/24 11:43:55 AM #7 | I manage a store and there is no drama, thankfully. But I am generally a drama free person. I am not in charge of promotions or anything, but I would not want to reward the person who is the cause of the drama if I had the power. If somebody came to me with some drama bombshell there is a good chance they'd be the one looking like a fool. |

Topic | Red Lobster finally goes bankrupt due to endless shrimp |
argonautweakend 04/18/24 10:19:08 AM #29 | The whole deal behind endless shrimp or pasta is you *can* get endless, but the waiter is really slow, most likely a decision by corporate to intentionally slow down the customers eating habits, but it comes off as poor service. I could see servers hating these endless shrimp promotions because it brings out the absolute animals of society and since they're told to be slow so the patron gets less endless stuff, the customer will probably rightly be pissed off about the poor service. I havent been to a buffet in a while but thinking about endless shrimp makes me want to go to one now. all the mediocre food you can get, without corporate making you wait 30 minutes in between plates. |

Topic | I am close to beating FF9 for the first time in ages(slight spoilers) |
argonautweakend 04/17/24 11:52:14 PM #6 | Yeah so as far as the characters go Amarant comes in pretty late and also doesn't add much to the story. just kind of like a stereotypical badass who sticks by the party even though they're wussies and beneath him, Quina is hilarious at times but he/she/it(the game IS ambiguous about it) doesn't really serve much of a purpose to the story, and yeah Freya could have been way cooler in the story. |

argonautweakend 04/17/24 10:47:02 PM #3 | I use speed up in games where it is an option because I like a challenge but time is what gets me. I don't mind the challenge of chocograph hunting, but the damn bird pecks way too slowly for my liking. Or even basic shit like getting in the airship. air travel is soooo slow(but, obviously quicker than before you have vehicles), but then finding a good landing spot you need to take off the speed or else you'll never land where you want. Give and take but yeah I use it a lot. |
Topic | I am close to beating FF9 for the first time in ages(slight spoilers) |
argonautweakend 04/17/24 10:28:19 PM #1 | perhaps since around when it came out. So, this was a sorta new experience in a way. I am at the final dungeon and i've done just about everything worth doing as far as sidequests. The story at least so far isn't all that memorable. You spend too long in this game not really knowing shit aside from "kuja bad" until way later on. I guess a lot of JRPGs or FFs kinda have this happen. The characters aren't super memorable for me, either. However this game has a lot of attention to detail and other fan stuff in it. I love the moogle mail concept and a lot of the attention to details they have like how the world map moogle gets pissed if you call him and don't need him and the various things hinted at when talking to the smart moogle in the Q's marshes. The world setting is neat. Feel like a mix of steampunk/medieval and it's neat. What I really liked is how this game is chock full of fun and worthwhile sidequests, though part of that is PC has the speed up function, I imagine choco graph hunting at regular speed would be grueling to get through. But the sidequests are neat. Trivia question guy and the friendly monster sidequests were cool, and the friendly monster one has the added bonus of making one of the superbosses much easier, which leads me to.... I like Ozma a lot. They don't have 5,000,000,000,000 HP, only around 60K, but the AI is actually semi smart in this so even though he has low HP for a superboss, it was really fun trying to take him down. Frog catching was kinda fun until I got to the end and depleted the marshes so I had to wait a bit to get the last few, but it was unique and I liked it. Card game isn't as fun as FF8s, but it's still kinda cool. Overall my impression is the story is meh, characters are alright, but the attention to detail and sidequests are really, really fun, and a lot of them are actually worth the effort. I know the actual final boss is kinda whack because it's just a random thing who isn't actually Kuja as I remember. Weird, but seeing as FF8s final boss was kinda stupid(though we did know they'd be the final boss in the last 10% of the game) it's...okay. I don't know why I never went back and replayed this one but I have played 7 and 8 20 times each is probably because once the PS2 game out, the leap in graphics was actually massive, so I kinda soured on PS1 which was a dumb move, but that could explain why I never went back. I had beaten 7 and 8 a couple of times by then, so they stuck. |

argonautweakend 04/17/24 12:41:11 PM #77 | Would be cool if we made a site disgruntled users here could post their guides and such. If I have a random question about a game I'll google it. But if I want a guide to play along with, like an older JPRG I want a nice guide. I still use em. Just used shotgunnova's FFIX guide. Brilliantly written. |

argonautweakend 04/16/24 10:28:51 PM #80 | Screamo is a genre I like a lot, and the neat thing is you can go as deep as you want to go. I found this band the other day. This song is only one minute, but it blew me away. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TbK9uQ_CU3U And as usual the lyrics for these types of songs are also a bit deeper than you'd expect, because the vocals are incomprehensible and the song is so fast they can get a lot out You call this a moment?

Topic | Super weird that Doctor Oz ran for Senate. |
argonautweakend 04/15/24 9:23:18 AM #4 | I guess it isn't any surprise to see a guy like Dr. Oz become a republican candidate, but yeah it is weird. Living in PA it felt weird because I had no idea what ties this guy had to do with PA outside of graduating from a PA university(one of several places he got a degree from). He actually did destroy Fetterman in the one debate post stroke in a way because he could speak fairly coherently and Fetterman struggled hard. But that's just brain salad post stroke, the guy is still intelligent on the inside. And even though people thought that debate was a turning point for Oz, it wasn't. The race wasn't super close either, Fetterman won by 300,000 votes. edit: though some people(including his voters) have beef with Fetterman now over isreal/hamas but this isn't about that. Just about how an obviously bad candidate lost to a person who, against a non lizard shapeshifter, would have perhaps lost. |
Topic | Now that the grass is green my infrared photography is looking neat |
argonautweakend 04/15/24 9:11:03 AM #5 | It's neat we're talking about which fantasy land we'd prefer to live in because what drew me to this style of photography is how things look really otherworldly. a simple google search for infrared photography will yield a lot of results, many that look way crazier with the colors than these here. https://webneel.com/30-beautiful-examples-infrared-photography-best-photographs-you I am not even sure how a lot of these looks are achieved unless its a decent amount of PS or lightroom work. My experiences with a camera with an IR filter and now a camera that only shoots in infrared are kinda trial and error, and unless I convert the reds to blues and blues to reds I generally don't do any other work after the fact. |
Topic | Now that the grass is green my infrared photography is looking neat |
argonautweakend 04/14/24 10:14:56 PM #1 | I was a little disheartened in the winter after getting this camera, but snow and sloggy grass patches do not turn up well when you shoot with infrared. These things turn some shade of pink but it doesn't look otherworldly or even pleasant. But now that the grass is a vibrant green things are looking good. https://imgur.com/ysIEPH1 And I figured I would see what happens when I switch the red and blue channels, it looks like it's a fairly normal sunny yet snowy day almost. Kinda neat. https://imgur.com/BXU8Z5y I am excited to see what else I can do but first results in good weather with decent foliage turned out pretty good. |
Topic | What would you think of someone who always asks you to borrow money? |
argonautweakend 04/14/24 11:08:15 AM #21 | It depends on what the situation is. I had a co worker who I would lend small amounts of money, usually 50 or less on a semi regular basis. I got paid back asap though. I didn't ask for interest because it's a silly concept, to me, in regards to personal loans like this. I also paid a coworkers cell phone bill, which was about 50 bucks, and it took like 4 months, but I got paid back also(I figured if I didn't get paid back I wouldn't do it again but I wouldn't be upset. Family with one kid and another coming, it wouldn't be the end of the world if I had to eat the cost) If it's all the time I would wonder why we're in that situation and try to see if there are ways we can avoid it. I do think after some time I would get annoyed, but it depends on who it is and how much and some other things to day definitively. |

Topic | Was Solo the most satisfying movie flop? |
argonautweakend 04/02/24 11:39:30 PM #18 | If I am remembering correctly it suffered from a phenomenon I've seen in more recent star wars movies and maybe more sci fi or fantasy if I watched it. When they constantly go to planets and find the person or thing in minutes. These planets are hollow and I can't remember the name of any of them, except Jakku, because it was essentially a Tatooine clone. They go from planet to planet and spend seemingly minutes there. I think in the one star wars movie they had a timer scene where they have like 45 minutes to get to one planet and do something. Like, what in the fuck is this? I know it's fantasy, but even so it just seems silly. Constantly hopping between planets all willy nilly and whatever they have to do there is always just convenient(the entire planet but they can spot the exact individual they need as quick as possible). |

Or in the 2k NCAA basketball games I skipped the selection sunday most of the time even if it was detailed and a great touch. |
