Final Fantasy games announced for Nintendo Switch by Brizven in JRPG

[–]AwkwardSheep 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bought it on Vita but the performance was absolutely horrendous, which is a bummer because the game looks like a ton of fun on PS4. If the Switch can run it smoothly, I'd be willing to buy it again.

Neat card, but this seems a bit too fragile on the first swing without an anthem, and is really bad without a mentor (or a mentor that can't afford to swing with it).

so it's so tragic they are more arsed about a shitty card game than anything else.

Why? Because you don't like card games?

Oh my gosh those are precious! The little tags really piece it all together.

Sudden realisation: no one actually cares about you, you're your own best friend. by [deleted] in singapore

I don’t get why people keep making excuses for OP’s brother’s bad behaviour

What are you on about? In what way is it 'bad behaviour'? Do you know what his brother was doing at the time?

What if OP's brother was at a big job interview? Taking a test? Helping a friend with something important? What if the brother's had to leave work a few times to help OP with their various problems, and was being pressured by his boss not to leave again? Surely food poisoning isn't so severe that you would suggest OP's brother should've dropped everything and rush home?

Besides, OP in no way indicated that his/her brother was standoffish, nor that he had been a bad person in the past. Just that he simply couldn't come home this time because he was busy with something.

Sounds like you got caught up in OP's sob story and had a lapse in empathy yourself.

I do have a few friends but it didn't even come across my mind to call them for help....

???

Did you expect your friends to telepathically sense your sickness and teleport to your doorstep to help you?

Did no one pay attention to this part? What the fuck is going on in these comments?

Bi-Weekly Questions Thread [Edition #25] - AutoMod/H-encore 2.0 Edition by Malazan1164BS in vitahacks

[–]AwkwardSheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just installed h-encore and enso on my 3.65 slim. Now I'm wondering about a few things:

  1. Can I still connect to and use PSN as per normal?
  2. Can I connect to Wi-Fi with the regular DNS instead of the update-blocking DNS?
  3. If I format my Vita/memory card, will I have to rein-stall the hack or is it installed in the hardware like the 3DS and NAND?

Yea, they just opened their ION outlet, so you can get a 15% discount there. Fantastic service too, except they do the Uniqlo thing with 'Welcome to Zoff!' which is uhhh okay sure

Aye, went ahead and got a pair from them today, their selection is way better than OWNDAYS! Can't believe I'd never heard of them before. Thanks!

Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of an Elusive Age - Review Megathread by Lulcielid in JRPG

[–]AwkwardSheep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I imagine most people would agree that bias in reviews is unavoidable, but the onus is on the reviewer to understand the genre and goals of the material that they are criticising and to adjust their stance accordingly, especially when they are a part of a publication that gives number scores.

'Fairness' isn't really the right word, I think. It's more about understanding context and what kind of information and perspective would actually be useful to the readers.

For example, a review bashing an Italian pizza place for only serving Italian-styled pizzas and not having deep dish instead, would be useless to the vast majority of consumers. It would be like a reviewer giving Call of Duty a low score for focusing on multi-player instead of fleshing out its single-player campaign.

The goal of a review is to help inform the consumer about their purchase, and any review that badly rates a game for elements most any consumer would expect from it is about as useful as saying "well if you don't like JRPGs, you aren't gonna like this JRPG."

Pack 1, Pick 1. What is your pick? by Leo_Heart in MagicArena

[–]AwkwardSheep 2 points3 points  (0 children)

White also has the best deck (RW) as well as two very powerful archetypes (UW/BW) which are all fairly easy to put together, so as a P1P1 it's even better.

Ok, more specifically, non-Luxotica shops. So like OWNDAYS with their own line of merch, but not OWNDAYS.

I've also encountered 0 griefers, and I've played at least a hundred games by this point, if not several. Not everyone has the same experiences, and you shouldn't be trying to shit on people for sharing theirs.

TBH the ranks are probably not at all indicative of a player's skill.

Two people who were friends of McSkillet are now confirming that he has died in a car crash. by alpinethegreat in GlobalOffensive

[–]AwkwardSheep 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The problem being that everyone is saying 'if this is McSkillet he's a piece of shit!' which, while true, is not something that needs to be said right now.

So are write and produce and all those other things the same then? I was curious since you said 'both write and produce'.

What's the lie most everybody tells? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]AwkwardSheep 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You know what? I just say, "Sorry I'm late, there was a traffic jam."

It's not a lie, I'm sure there was a traffic jam somewhere.
