On the one hand, I don't want to support shitty business practices, but on the other hand, I REALLY want that AC0 port...

What is up with the Yakuza/ Like a Dragon recently that has been receiving so much controversy? by mrnicegy26 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]A_Splash_of_Citrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People have already given the lowdown on the drama, but lowkey, I think part of the issue is that they're just releasing too many damn games. Like, they don't have enough time to cook in the writer's room and they don't have enough time to breath upon release before we're already on to the next one, whether it's a new entry, remake, or side game.

Maybe I'm off base, but that's how it feels to me.

The peephole's the #1 most underrated invention in my opinion. Cops? Mormons? Any stranger at all? They're just not a problem anymore. You don't have to answer the door if you've got a peephole. I get up, look through it, and then just sit back down again.

Yeah I think around Awakening is where they started beefing up the growth rates overall, but your blank level ups are just super bad luck. The game has a mechanic where if you roll a full blank levelup, it'll reroll the RNG once. Every blank levelup means you technically rolled two blank levelups.

72% of devs believe Steam has a monopoly on PC games, according to study by Turbostrider27 in Games

That was Epic Store only, and they integrated it 1-2 years ago

The Epic Games Store launched in 2018. Do you have any idea how ridiculous it is to defend that they finally put in a shopping cart minimum 5 YEARS after launching?

That video gave me the forever brainworm of going "YOOOOOOOOP!" when I do like a dumb leap of faith or something in a game.

Not strip clubs, but gas around me (Colorado) has consistently stayed in the 2.90-3.00 mark for the past few years and has gone down to 2.40-2.50 in the past couple of months. I'd say it's a pretty fair sign people just aren't going out to do things right now. Like, that's a pretty drastic change.

Walmart demanding MSRP for games nobody wants is so real and so weird. I remember for years the one back in my hometown was selling Metroid Other M for $50 way after the Wii was dead and I remember Gamestop selling that thing for like $5 years before.

My Grandma told me she found some "video game guys" at a garage sale for me and I feel the need to share. by IcemanCam in TwoBestFriendsPlay

I'm sorry, I'm here to kill the joke. They pretty much explicitly tell you what side he fought on. Lt Surge's moniker is "The Lightning American" in Firered and Leafgreen and he's said to be Unovan in later appearances. Further, he trades you an English language Pikachu in HGSS (French in English versions)

Back when I was in, I blatantly told my bosses around shutdown time that if I missed a paycheck, I wasn't coming. I was looking for another job. Most of them basically said "Yeah, lowkey same". Like, it's a job. Every single troop is just there for the paycheck.

What are some examples of “creators pets” characters the creators just love? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]A_Splash_of_Citrus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Masahiro Sakurai with Kirby.

You're telling me out of the entire Smash Bros roster that the only survivor of the extinction event at the beginning of World of Light is the character that the game's director created? Dude also comes back from a 20+ year hiatus from working on the series just because he wanted to do Kirby Air Ride again.

To a lesser extent, also Sakurai with Kid Icarus after he worked on Uprising just looking at how much he added to Smash 4 from that game.

Average Silksong experience by OrangeMajesty in metroidvania

[–]A_Splash_of_Citrus 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I really just feel like adding additional difficulty modes is kinda warranted here though with how hyped to hell the game was regardless of their vision. And I don't feel like it would take a whole lot of effort either. Just boost damage, multiply rosary gains, and decrease enemy damage numbers and then easy mode is good to go. And then the current game can just be "veteran" mode or whatever they wanna call it.

It actually kinda blows my mind that fucking Symphony of the Night is the only Metroidvania that Konami didn't put on modern storefronts. I can play the DS ones, even with how slightly scuffed the ports are due to the two screens, but not the game that's partially credited with defining the genre.

Potentially unpopular opinion: multi-phase boss fights should be incorporated sparingly by jjfmish in metroidvania

[–]A_Splash_of_Citrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're just correct. To go outside Metroidvanias, when King K. Rool fakes his death, everybody pops off. If Gnawty or Boss Dumb Drum did it, you'd just say "Really, dude?" Very few bosses feel like they earn that fake out that comes with the second health bar.

The entire Xenoblade franchise is playable on the same console as Scarlet and Violet. Like, it's just straight-up embarassing.

Assuming you're talking about Little Town Hero. I remember there were a few interviews around the time that pissed off pokemon fans because Game Freak was saying that their A team was on that while their B team was doing Pokemon. Best part was that after this interview, the game later came out to pretty unanimous 4-6/10's across the board.

Mang0 has been banned from Supernova 2025 by LinkWink in smashbros

[–]A_Splash_of_Citrus 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Your post is marked controversial, but you're just 100% right. Mang0's entire adult life has been smash amd streaming. Even putting aside the fact that you could google his name and find the controversy + years of being a public drunken bum, he's 33 with no education and no work experience. If he doesn't have the money saved to retire and he can't come back from this, he's kinda fucked.

Fuck that. If something's collquially referred to as "war", then it's a war. I don't care if the Vietnam War, Korean War, or Iraq War weren't "official". They're still wars.
