Mustadio (again, i'm going off a memory from probably 20+ years ago) had some fairly low hit rate cool abilities but nothing special. Most people went with Chemist for him because they could use Guns and they had all the item effects so you could just run around phoenix downing people vs...

Honestly I think there's a much simpler explanation for the longevity/relative stability of ancient things that still exist. They're made of stone. Stone takes a long, long time to wear/wither away. Roman concrete is still around and visible, because it is both stone and a bit of technology...

She must have been a later era food network star; from a glance I am pretty sure I wouldn't have liked her food. Either way, never happy when someone dies =/

edit: Orlandu It's been decades but I seem to remember Mustadio basically being brokespec forever, even into the final battles. Give him break abilities and concentration, and you can kind of just shoot everyone's weapons out of their hands while also using don't act/don't move at will. If...

Yeah; I think the whole bundle was 1 game, two controllers, and two memory cards. For like 400? It was like their only pre-order deal. Or maybe more. Honestly it's been a long ass time; can't remember haha.

I think when I purchased my PS2 on launch day it required only one game; Software Etc in Redding, CA. Went with Tekken Tag and it was objectively the superior choice at the time I think haha.

Windwaker was like a year later. Not sure if Luigi's Mansion was a console seller or needed really for that release. I think the PS3 initial releases with the backwards compatibility is probably the most recent (GC was in 2001, PS3 was in like 2006? I think). Every other console/handheld...

I'm trying to think of the last time being a super early adopter actually paid off when it comes to consoles. Maybe PS2? Perhaps Gamecube? It certainly hasn't been any of the other consoles/handhelds since. Oh wait, PS3 with the built in backwards compatibility that they engineered out after...

That's gotta be a pretty big hole. I had a hole in my lung (33% deflation/fluid filled) and basically had to be kept on a ventilator that was actively sucking the fluid out so my lung could be re-inflated and the hole basically cauterized shut. Was a four hour procedure and then 4 days laying...

My local arcades were pretty trash in Redding, CA when I was a kid. it was like... the Mt. Shasta mall, and then whatever you would find at rando pizza parlors/etc. Interestingly enough, I found out recently (like three years ago) that Shasta Pizza (a place that I went to almost daily) had a...

Yeah would definitely agree. There was literally just a couple of battles in the early game before the end of the first chapter that were incredibly overtuned and if you were playing even semi-normally (ie, not grinding until you had Ninjas unlocked before Dorter Trade City) were just...

I loved the movie, which made me read the comics (I fell out of love with comics/graphic novels when I was still a young teenager, so never got into the more cerebral works) and I get why both endings make sense. The comics are awesome, and I think the movie did a great job paying homage while...

It's funny, because they wouldn't even need to do any sort of balance work or otherwise if they simply had a popup that said "Saving here will lock you into a series of fights. It is recommended that you make a backup save before continuing." Boom; problem solved. Newblars make a second save...

Since most of the WNBA is kind of inept comparatively, I could see that actually being a legit strat for eating up the clock if you are ahead and there's not a lot left in the game. Granted it's kind of unintentional - she's just a really bad shooter.

Honestly it's ESPN's fault. Their stake in the WNBA means they have to try and amp up the sport in any way possible. The college "rivalry" where Angel's team beat Caitlin's team (even though Caitlin carried the team in the game) was basically one game and a viral moment that ESPN cranked up to...

Prior to seeing his name in the list I honestly thought McGee had retired like... years ago. Have no idea how I had missed several fights of his (losing most) over the last 3 years. Good on Usman; I don't see him retaking the belt or anything but it's good to see him back in the win column.

The chimney pic is definitely a guy who knows one of his annoying ass neighbors has OCD and will lose their goddamn minds every time they pass by his house. Bonus points if it's the HOA asshole-in-charge. Related:

Yeah definitely check for LEDs on the mobo first. Swap cable to onboard graphics input (if it isn't already) and see if anything comes out. If it's a thermal thing (frequent reboots usually are) then you would still get something on the monitor like the BIOS trying to kick until the...

Just curious, but is this a case of hard counters? Ie, this missile battery armed Onrithopter is just going to murder your non-anti-air equipped Ornithopter 10/10 times unless the other guy goes linkdead in the middle of combat? Like oldschool warriors spec'd into improved revenge fighting...

My issue with a lot of the narratives around fixing is that the refs in NBA games are some of the worst in televised sports history. NFL is the only reasonable contender, and they are miles below the "It's not travelling until I think it is, regardless of steps." or "That's clearly a shooting...

Reminds me of Ja Morant getting in trouble twice for flashing a gun in public places/social media, when he's worth 10s of millions. Why, dude? At least in Ja's case he's like 24 or something; AB has been kind of crazy ever since he left the Steelers, which has been a minute. I mean he was...

Millionaires bringing guns to parties always confuses me. You're a millionaire; hire someone to murder people. Don't do it yourself.

This is probably a pretty easily debunked take, but I've always had a problem with archeological finds and histories that just get labeled as "fact" at some point and people avoid trying to have discourse about. Not that I'm saying Hancock is right or anything, or that the pyramids were clearly...

Yeah Elephants are one of the few animals on the planet where the only predators they have are disease and injury. And they can be incredibly aggressive/dangerous. Also vindictive/spiteful...

Didn't the History of the World sequel series kind of suck? Mel's a legend but he's also like 98 years old. As much as I like Moranis and Brooks (And Pullman, who I legit thought was dead for some reason) like half+ of the original actors have passed on. It's a funny premise and joke based on...

No idea! And same! It's silly that anybody gives a shit in the first place, but not nearly as silly as letting someone who isn't a biological female physically punch down on women. Griner has a deeper voice than half the people on this forum. And I have to assume that at least half are not...

Bakery I used to live near would have fresh lasagna strips (somehow actually harder to work with than the Barilla dried stuff, but whatever) that was like twice the length of my pan at the time. I ended up doing funny 'braids' of pasta for the layers vs. the single stripe method. It actually...

Yeah looking at that recipe it's a shitload of meat layer haha. Personally I'm more a fan of a thin layer of meat followed by layers of ricotta and basil, and then béchamel on top before you hit it with the next pasta layer. (I don't type special characters; that bechamel thing was an...

Legit chef, with years in expensive ass restaurants. He's the real deal. He comes across as silly but that's kind of his whole schtick. He's a very good chef with extremely good technique when it calls for it. He just fucks around a lot on camera. (14 years in hospitality, most of which was...

I'm interested in this but I actively do not want to playtest/beta this thing. If it makes it through to an actual release situation I definitely want to go in slightly blind. After being in dozens of betas over the years, I'm done with it for MMOs. It drastically impacts the initial experience.

Ah, just that they were effectively gifts for me, but under the guise of being for the whole family. Stuff like Brainlord, Ogre Battle, SimCity (our PC was... not capable, at the time) etc. that my siblings and parents obviously weren't into. To clarify, the gifts that were labeled for me were...

I want to say FF3(6) and Chrono Trigger were both like 80 dollars back in the 90s. I remember because my dad had like a mental number of around $200 for the total price of the "family" things he would purchase around Christmas. The years those came out we only got like 3 SNES games, while...

Honestly it looks (especially that crafting UI/inventory screen) a lot like New World mixed with like Vindictus, but with much edgier/better graphics. Very Elden Ring-ish vibe. Looks good; lots of FFXIV FATE/Warhammer Public quest vibes (I guess technically Rift as well) and the fact it's...

A ton of chicks who are tat'd up have those shitty chest pieces. Like birds or hearts and stuff. They look absolutely terrible, almost completely across the board, but it has nothing to do with them having tits. Griner's tattoos are the least damning thing about them.

Why did Mist get Rickshawed? I was away for a couple of years so didn't know this had happened. Did they admit to killing their mother or something?

If she's an actual biological female, she's the least woman to ever woman. If she's not just a dude pretending, she's probably one of those internal testes types who is at least definitely not a biological woman by definition.

FF9 was kind of largely my last "favorite" Final Fantasy that isn't an mmo. The characters were goofy but colorful and interesting, and the story was kind of cool right up until the literal final battle (Necron is still the most wtf boss I have come across) and I really liked the ATB system and...

Honestly, it's a good game. It's just not as final fantasy as I would like my final fantasies to be. Had a lot of cool features and I really liked the Eidolon fights, but all things being equal I want a return to turn-based combat. DQ11 is still the best JRPG of the last decade for me; I like...

No no, I'm not saying that people buy games because they are sad for the developers. I'm saying the narrative is "be sad for the developers." That's all.

I'd prefer it otherwise, but there's no stopping the price increase now. The market is primed for it. We have this sob story about developers being let go and nobody cares about devs and .... insert whatever you want here. And then there's audience capture. Some Nintendo people are akin to...
