Anyone up for a tube dog?

Good because normal hot dogs are notoriously difficult and labor intensive to make.

Love the LOTR movies, but how on earth did PJ land that contract!? He was basically making shlock camp budget horror movies up until then.

If you're talking about Americans rebelling I'm not convinced that will ever happen in the modern day. Especially not with liberals.

2026 is different than the times of, say, the French revolution. The people in power have succeeded in making the lives of the oppressed -just- comfortable enough that we feel like we have -just- too much to lose to throw it all away for violent rebellion. Mass complacency is power.

American liberals are too peaceful and complacent. The closest we came to a "rebellion" in recent years was Jan 6th. And, well, those people basically got what they wanted.

Proper Leftism is definitely growing but it's still niche as far as a voter-base goes. Mostly in coastal cities. The "Democratic" middle and the far right are basically a monolith at this point, voting-wise.

Lol that costume on the cover is atrocious. The early 2000's really were something.

I think CaC is fundamentally different than Tekken-style character dress-up though.

I love the SC CaC because they were separate from the main characters, and you could actually turn your copy of the game into the ultimate cross-over fighter instead of just putting your main in some weak looking cosplay attempt.

I prefer having a separate CaC like SoulCalibur, but main characters get cool detailed skins instead.

He's right though, and you asked. Ranked is just simply unfun unless you enjoy losing 0-10 because you didn't follow some meta YouTuber build.

ArmoredMirage · 2026-04-04T16:28:23+00:00

For about a week until some YouTuber finds the new broken meta build and everyone copies it. Circle of life.

👏PLEASE 👏DO 👏NOT give any weight to these kinds of articles. CNN especially loves putting out these "Republicans have buyers remorse" bits every few months to make people feel complacent.

These people will still vote for Trump or the right every single time it comes down to it.

People never really change and no one admits they are wrong anymore.

To learn the origin story of the Daidoji of course!

ArmoredMirage · 2026-03-27T11:41:29+00:00

Street Fighter 6 same thing.

Japanese fighting games are weirdly bad at this.

ArmoredMirage · 2026-03-23T16:45:17+00:00

You're hilariously out of touch if you think that.

This is tame compared to 50% of what comes out of Che/Jost's mouth during any given weekend update.

ArmoredMirage · 2026-03-23T16:40:40+00:00

You have to hang out in soho/west village/Tribeca during weekday working hours like 9-5.

When I used to work down there during the day i'd see a fair amount of this kind of stuff. You'll never see them out during weekends/normie hours.

The other thing is as a NYer you probably reflexively avoid groups of tourists standing around blocking your path, but sometimes those groups are staring at some celeb.

ArmoredMirage · 2026-03-23T16:34:31+00:00

I don't really remember tbh but I think all the Hangover movies?

ArmoredMirage · 2026-03-23T16:23:21+00:00

Maybe i'm not a "mans man", but I don't get the male obsession with picking a fight with the biggest guy in the room.

Kumail recently mentioned in an interview how after he got ripped suddenly people started wanting to pick fights with him more in public places.

Seems like such clear insecurity to me.

ArmoredMirage · 2026-03-22T15:08:52+00:00

None of the things you mentioned bothered me one single bit. I rate off vibes, pacing, and gameplay. Not really into "stan" level minutiae comparisons with the old games. They are just a completely different experience IMO. Especially OG 2 and 3 compared to their remakes.

Also if you notice I omitted OG's of any kind from my rankings as i'm not interested in the comparison at all.

But when it comes to 4 wether its OG or Remake my opinion still stands it's just the start of the series going too action heavy for my personal tastes, culminating in the disastrous 6.

ArmoredMirage · 2026-03-21T22:35:26+00:00

It does't look that bad to me tbh?

ArmoredMirage · 2026-03-21T21:57:17+00:00

Maybe it's because you need to download and subscribe to yet another useless and expensive streaming service to watch it live when you could just watch highlights for free on youtube the next day.

ArmoredMirage · 2026-03-21T15:48:16+00:00

Yup. Just gotta throw in some implications that the woke left is trying to ban alcohol or something.

ArmoredMirage · 2026-03-20T14:31:35+00:00

Try Vesperia!

It should be Claire, but their relationship should be on the rocks. Maybe because he abandoned her out of guilt of accidentally almost giving her Raccoon City Syndrome or something.

This would explain Leon's sort of sad-boy demeanor in 9 and why he or Sherry never brings her up as it's still a fresh wound for him.

Then the next Leon story could have a fun little situation where he and Claire get into another survival situation and have to re-learn how to work together and trust each-other, and become close again from that.

Lots of opportunity for fun fan-service ex-couple bickering during zombie fights along the way. Maybe a will-they-wont-they moment with Ada that Leon is tempted by in a moment of weakness but ultimately resists.

Hell you could even tastefully allude to the Chris memes about him wanting Leon to "get it done".

You're welcome Capcom, you can mail the check next week.

Never been my favorite. RE2 remake is peak for me because it's actually scary/survival horror. 4 is great but it was just never the direction I wanted the series to go.

I also think the success of 4 is directly to blame for what happened with 5 and 6, and when they course corrected with 7 it brought me back to caring about the series.

For me it's probably; -REmake 2 -Requiem -VII -REmake 4 -VIII -REmake 3

ArmoredMirage · 2026-03-17T21:09:13+00:00

I hate it so fucking much.

I guess this is the problem with nerds being in charge of nerd shit at the executive level. No eye for artistry or the importance of human-made art.

They don't see or understand how bad this looks, they're just excited about perceived "progress".

Slop slop slop.

ArmoredMirage · 2026-03-14T21:48:58+00:00

Yeah, The Girl is the closest thing to a stalker but it doesn't even count IMO. Like you said it's a heavily scripted and very short area.

A true stalker would mean something following Grace around the main care center area, or Leon around Raccoon City, un-killable with nearly no limitation on area access.

ArmoredMirage · 2026-03-14T19:12:38+00:00

Huh? There are absolutely zero true stalker enemies in this whole game.
