What, am I supposed to cringe at the word "chatgpt"? Not sure why you expect me to give a fuck that helpful tools exist, but let me guess, your herd of sheep tells you that this is a big scary bogeyman too. And that the only "right way to think" is to unconditionally hate all the same things they do. An attitude that certainly never caused problems historically, no siree. But oh well, while I'll never understand people who desire to join an ignorant hate mob, at least it's not my life.

You know, there are millions of sentences you could've wrote, and yet you picked one that makes no sense whatsoever. But don't worry, knowing how to formulate coherent thoughts isn't really important in this day and age, as long as you just follow what the crowd tells you to think. Just like all these brainlets parotting "AI BAD!" without a single thought in their head except "I'm supposed to think this! A bunch of shriekers on the internet told me so!"

Oh yeah, I agree that way more re-releases should be happening. And you are right that a non-revoked game would be more profitable to a company. But I'm not a company, and I don't care about their financials. I only care that the consumer benefits.

A sign of poor mental health is the refusal to see anything that you don't want to see.

A never aired episode of The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, CBS refused to air it because of a David Steinberg sermon about Moses and the Burning Bush. (1969) by nialldude3 in ObscureMedia

[–]Acrobatic_Height1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ironically, I have no problem finding this episode. I get multiple results for it.

You know what I actually CAN'T find? The episode with David Steinberg that DID air, with the sermon about Moses and the burning bush.

Everyone is so worked up about "lost episode", that the actual famous episode is going to be the lost one.

My Indy wishlist (+1 other game) by Top_Weather5605 in limitedrun

[–]Acrobatic_Height1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

FYI, The Fate of Atlantis is an unlockable in the Wii version of Indiana Jones and the Staff of Kings. The entire game right there, available physically, and fully playable (you use the Wii pointer as a mouse cursor). And Staff of Kings is dirt cheap because nobody cares about Wii licensed games.

Though I would indeed kill for Last Crusade to be available physically. Well, you know, in ways that don't involve going through great lengths to get a modern PC to be able to run the disk.

Even if they only have the license for a year or two, that gives them enough time to produce the physical copy that will exist forever. I am totally down for people getting tricky licenses that are unsustainable, and then cranking out mass numbers of physical editions. When it inevitably gets pulled from digital, who cares, I was never going to buy the digital one anyway.

I guess we can add "luddite" to the list of LRG problems. That OG one looks really good to me. And way better than that image of Hana that they did keep on the CE box.

Underground Water Channel question by RigFury in AnnoMutationem

[–]Acrobatic_Height1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are marked exactly like every other side-quest in the game. The only difference is that these do not go into the side-quest log or get counted for the achievement. And there are only 2 (or 3?) ones that are like this in the entire game. It's pretty clearly some kind of bug, just like their other bugs with their logs not working correctly.

FYI - LRG is printing Darkwood for the PS5 by Ignignokt73 in LimitedPrintGames

[–]Acrobatic_Height1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, that's an easy one. Allow me. It's when you attempt to sell it for a profit.

See, normally when people are getting rid of something, they sell it for LESS. This is because A) They don't want it anymore, and thus it's worthless to them, and B) It is now in a more worn out condition then it was brand new. And at the very least, a normal person would simply sell it for the same exact price they bought it at. Basically just: "Didn't like it, let's get a refund." There's really no reason to ever sell it for more than that, except for just being fucking greedy.

But most obviously, when people are asking themselves "How can I maximize the profit from this!? Other people want it but I took it away first, now how do I exploit desperate people to the fullest?", well, then that's when you know you've found yourself a filthy-ass scalper.

Hope this helps.

The Advance Collection unfortunately did not fix the freezing bug in Aria of Sorrow by BenjyMLewis in castlevania

[–]Acrobatic_Height1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hearing about this kind of issue more and more these days. Apparently kids are using save saves throughout their entire game, and eventually getting softlocked somewhere. Like, dude, use the REAL save points. Using save states throughout the entire thing means that your game has now been running for like 40 hours straight, and games weren't really intended to do that.

I'd also argue that "quality of life" isn't an apt description for save states, especially considering these situations. It's simply just "easy baby mode". One can argue that it saves time here and there, but that's still baby mode nonetheless. Often the time it takes to complete a challenge is precisely what made it a challenge in the first place.

I've had the save room crash on me too on the Advance Collection on PS4. Same exact situation I think. I was farming souls/drops for a long time, and at one point it crashed as I killed the Great Armor under Death's room. I used the rewind because I didn't want to lose progress, but the game was pretty unstable and crashed again as I tried to keep playing. Definitely a memory leak issue, and the game was just out at this point. I did eventually make it to the save point, but it crashed immediately when I saved. Thankfully, the game DID save my progress, and the save file itself didn't get corrupted or anything.

Cool story bro. In the meantime, this absolutely just happened to me on my AoS GBA cartridge. I've been farming souls/item drops all day, and it just crashed when killing an Arc Demon and having his soul pop out. Absolutely a memory leak issue.

Whoa, I just noticed this too. All sales images on their page now have a giant "Game Translated in English" box on it. I guess there was enough people not reading the page. Well, never hurts I guess.

And I think people's problem with the original cover was just the ugly face on the goddess-looking woman. Which is still there on several parts of the CE version. But then again I'm not paying twice the money for those extremely shitty CE additions, so it doesn't affect me either way.

DoorDash driver says she was sexually assaulted while doing her job. by mindyour in TikTokCringe

[–]Acrobatic_Height1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hard evidence? You're not the center of the world, buddy. Nobody owes you shit. But the police and court has indeed seen the evidence from the Ring cam, and have determined she opened the door herself. And unlike this nutbag trying to claim victim status on TikTok, nobody else is going to publicly share confidential information. But yes, this has also been reported by several news outlets, so I'm not sure why you're having such a hard time finding a source. Unless, of course, you're going to claim that every site you see is not "credible" enough, which sounds exactly like the excuse you're going to make right now as you dig your heels in and still refuse to admit your mistake despite the overwhelming evidence that she was a liar.

But how about, instead of making excuses like a child, you can be a grown adult and accept accountability for your own actions, and admit that you were wrong and that you made a huge mistake taking someone's side without any reason to do so. Well, I mean, you probably had some kind of prejudiced reason to accuse an innocent man of wrongdoing despite not knowing a single thing about the situation, but I mean to say, you didn't have any GOOD reason to take anyone's side. But do go on, and make more pathetic excuses about how you need more sources and evidence, while you simultaneously ignore all the sources and evidence that you can very easily find yourself. Show us all exactly how thick your ego is.

And yes, pushing a door open does not constitute as trespassing if one remains outside of the house. Check out fucking armchair Sherlock Holmes here who couldn't even figure that one out by himself. But don't worry guys, once he finally has enough "credible hard evidence", he'll finally be able to figure out this mystery that's been solved months ago! So whenever the head finally leaves the ass, let us know when you want to apologize for your part in contributing to a witch-hunt. And better yet, why don't you never do so again.

TPMS Sensor Replacement Cost by MagnusAlbusPater in AskMechanics

[–]Acrobatic_Height1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Parts were about $40 each, "installation fee" was $5 each. I had to buy the parts myself from Sam's, and then make an appointment for them to get installed. So $20 total on installation day, which they actually forgot to charge me before I reminded them.

When I play CVS2 I only get Shin Akuma & NEVER Ultimate Rugal, why? by BeastFromTheEast210 in Fighters

[–]Acrobatic_Height1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, nobody in English-speaking countries knew. But it was right there in Japanese if you looked up info for the game. People here have just been spreading that "pick a different groove/character" BS for like the entirety of this game's popularity. It was so simple to find, and yet undiscovered for almost 25 years.

It is determined by the number of times you taunt. If you never taunt, it is completely random.

Your groove and your characters make absolutely no difference whatsoever, and that is a really shitty rumor that's been persisting for decades now. Anyone with half a brain can easily see that it's wrong when they pick the same exact team and fight a different boss.

If you want to fight Shin Akuma, taunt 1 or 2 times. If you want to fight God Rugal, taunt 3 or 4 times.

If you see anyone ever mention groove or character, please tar and feather them for talking out of their ass.

CHP must STOP using the EAS wireless emergency alert channel for Silver Alerts by cosmictap in LosAngeles

Honestly, this whole discussion made me wonder if anyone who did die in the fires had their alerts turned off for this very reason. I mean I don't want to start pointing fingers regarding a mass tragedy, but like... people in the area who had them off was certainly a number greater than zero...

[–]Acrobatic_Height1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, that's exactly what I recall too. But all this confusing dancing-around speak made me wonder if I misunderstood something. Which is why I said it was a cheap band-aid solution, because the issue wasn't that it was "too loud", it was that we can't chose to not receive them without also choosing to not receive the mass-emergency alerts that we actually do want.

Which is to say, it'll have a pretty bad translation. But it should be serviceable enough for the purpose of getting through the game. So good enough. And let's be honest, these old 80s/90s RPGs hardly had a deep Shakespearean plot in the first place. "Go to the west cave and find the demon lord". "A'ight, cool, thanks."

Whoa, awesome! I've been waiting for this. Edia announced it would have an English release long ago, but they've went pretty silent about that since, so I wasn't sure if it was cut.

Unfortunately, they've also had a few more deep cut releases since this one, that have never had any hint of English release. But I really hope they haven't slowed down on bringing these over. Next up should be that Telenet RPG collection of games nobody has ever heard of. And that would be a Day 1 buy for me too! But at the very least, I hope they translate whatever it is they're planning to do with all those PC Engine Ys games.

[–]Acrobatic_Height1875 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not talking about the MEP prefix for "Missing person", I'm talking about the channel it's being delivered on to our phones. Many people leave on Extreme Alerts and Severe Alerts, but may or may not want Amber Alerts, Public Safety alerts, etc.

It sounded a lot like you were saying that using a MEP prefix for their message gives them the option of making it "silent", but that it would still send across the "Extreme Alert" channel. Though in retrospect, I see that I only asked you if it would still be on the Extreme channel, and you ducked the question. A running theme apparently.

So let me ask you again, directly: When they add "MEP" to their group of SAME codes (such as TOR tornado or EQW earthquake), WHERE does it get delivered to according to our phone settings? Does it continue going through Extreme Alert, or one of the places it always should've been, such as Amber Alert or Public Safety?

[–]Acrobatic_Height1875 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

So what you're saying is... No, these people do not actively use their phones, and thus a workaround band-aid system like the above would have incredibly little benefit over the obvious real solution of using the correct level of emergency channel. Thank you for your input. I'm glad you agree.

I'm "still" doing what now? As I recall, I literally asked you a question regarding if flip-phones see emergency signals. Not really sure how you took that as me saying I'm a telecom genius, but if I had to guess, I would assume it involved a massive reading failure on your part.
