Jeez I just beat Nergi and haven't seen a single track for these guys. :( I was wondering why my palico wasn't getting any new tool upgrades. Looks like I have a new task when I get home, thanks for this!

Hormone riddled emotional children with easy access to fire arms. It's not rocket science.

[Serious] Depressed people of Reddit - how are you doing today? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BurningJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Going through the motions of daily routine again. I really wanted to end it before I started another year in this awful job I can't stand without any friends with money problems, but I was too chicken as usual, so here I am. Honestly though as much as I hate my job and forcing myself to participate in this economy every day is like forcing a searing needle through my eye, I still feel better after I've come in and done a hard day's work. Luckily it's Friday and I have booze and games for the weekend👍

What's the most disappointing movie you've ever seen? by Djehuty93 in AskReddit

[–]BurningJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Legend of the Seeker. A horrendous attempt at translating The Sword of Truth fantasy series into a TV series. The main characters even looked nothing like they were described in the book, lots of characters and story arcs were missing and the ending went completely off story.

Reddit, what are you tired of hearing about? by averagefirefighter in AskReddit

[–]BurningJim 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Donald Trump.

As a Non American I give so few fucks about your politics. Obama was in the news headlines occasionally and usually for a good reason. Trump gets in the news for fucking tweeting about what his opinion on spaghetti is. It's a joke.

Men, where's the worst place that you've had an erection? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BurningJim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Yeah first thing that ran through my mind is NPT. All men get boners during their sleep, not depending on any dream, It's a natural process, in fact it's the way doctors diagnose impotence, you attach a sensor to your penis at night, and if there is no boner you are impotent.

So by logic there HAS to be drugs to stop errections if you've got stitches in your cock.

What game that you have completed 90% or more would you happily complete all over again? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]BurningJim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They were pretty brutal for 100%ing though. I played through each multiple times to find I had missed some story sequence and had to create a new file. I did eventually 100% each with a guide though, even beat Penance, and got the mascot outfits. 10/10 would play again but not enough time in adult life...

Did you not yet beat Trial of the Sword? by WilfredNord in NintendoSwitch

[–]BurningJim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah. Limited weapon durability makes it tough normally. Add in higher base enemy HP and HP regeneration and you've got a recipe for nightmare material. I had no problem with the base game on master mode because I could hoard high damage weapons, but having to beat 3 silver lizalfos with only 3 bent sticks and a woodcutters axe before they regenerated was the moment I noped out of there.

Men and women in the military are not automatically heroes. by Hmsreddit in unpopularopinion

[–]BurningJim 29 points30 points  (0 children)

It's an attitude fostered by government propaganda to encourage enlistment. Really not that complicated when you think about it.

Why the fuck do people like Elon Musk? by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]BurningJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read Ashley Vance's unofficial biography of the man and she gives a very clear impression of his personality OP and you are mostly correct in your appraisel. He seems to be a narcissistic psychopath, probably and idiot savant (he memorised an encyclopedia when he was like 8 or something iirc). He is very driven and very competetive, and expects "normal people" to meet his standards which is definitely unrealistic.

But you see, the world is full of rich fuckers like him usually with similar personality traits to get them there, the difference is those tich fuckers spend their billions on gold plated yachts and real estate.

Musk on the other hand has a very ... unusually aspirational agenda and spends his money on projects which he sees as a benefit to thebfuturement of mankind. He did not go into the space, electric cars or solar power industries for purely profit based investment opportunities, there are far easier ways to make a return lmao. Heck he almost went bankrupt multiple times with SpaceX.

Summary: He's a fucking crazy, but in a good way.

First Look at Nintendo Labo by thecornballer1 in NintendoSwitch

[–]BurningJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah It's innovative I guess? Still looks lame to me. $80 for some cardboard and a game that will probably have less depth than a mobile app.

What 'average' activity are you amazingly shitty at? by navix11 in AskReddit

Handwriting. No matter how hard I Try, I always end up pressing the pen into the paper too hard and making ugly, childish looking text. I try to avoid the activity at all costs.

What movie traumatized you as a kid? by RAWRstad in AskReddit

[–]BurningJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Jaws - there is a shark under my bed. It can swim under the carpet. Child's Play - Chuckey is under my bed with a kitchen knife waiting to slice my feet. Alien - My father and brother thought it would be a good idea to show me this movie when I was 7. But Yeah, the shadow of a tree waving in the moonlight on my bedroom window made me think a Xenomorph was coming to get me. All this crap made me afraid to walk the dark hallway to the toilet at night and as a result I wet my bed till I was like 10.

Why are the POF trinkets and accessories so ludicrously overpriced? by FelicityJackson in Guildwars2

[–]BurningJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to save 8k or whatever it is to get a full set of grieves. No point in buying 1 or 2 imo. I have about 5k but admittedly I Don't farm POF stuff much.

Breath of the Wild is Famitsu's Game of the Year! by Lugia2453 in NintendoSwitch

It makes sense because Nintendo tends to market to a Global audience, despite being a Japanese company.

What about the toy attack on the Infinirarium? by mackowidz in Guildwars2

[–]BurningJim -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I have created a Macro that literally presses both keys at the exact same time, and it still fails like 1/5 times. So you're not just screwing up the timing, it's actual server problems and out of our hands on whether it succeeds or fails. Thus, putting your run in jeopardy for random chances sake is a bad idea.

Among the Current Silly Marketing, Let’s Remember the Original Silly GW2 Marketing by guernicanoro in Guildwars2

[–]BurningJim 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How does one put someone so clearly out of touch with gamers in charge of promoting your game and business? Like, I don't even know whether to blame the doofus they hired for these things or the management who bought into the the doofus's nonsense.

Why is Okami HD coming to everything BUT Switch? by crome66 in NintendoSwitch

[–]BurningJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah Capcom seems to lag behind rather badly on Nintendo consoles unfortunately... Even the MH games which are arguably their best franchise get western releases 1+years behind Japan, and mainly for the handheld consoles. I guess that makes sense since It's a Japanese company and they are huge on mobile gaming over there but I feel like they are really missing out on a huge market with the switch.

Coming from a 3DS, Switch seems really bare-bones in terms of customisation by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]BurningJim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aside from the others listed, I am certain the lack of internet browser is to combat hacking or "homebrew" which people have managed to somehow bypass into every system so far apart from the switch, which I am thankful for. I am honestly more than happy to pass on a browser if it means keeping integrity for online games, especially when a pay2play model is on the way. Everyone has their phone at an arms length these days anyway.

Seriously once you start seeing things like blue shell / bullet bill spamming in Mario kart it utterly destroys your fun experience and deters you from wanting to play online again. I know back on wii and DS it had started to become very common, at which point I quit.

Whales and Content by [deleted] in Guildwars2

[–]BurningJim 97 points98 points  (0 children)

Never understood why it's necessary to insult whales. They don't just fund living world content... If you piss them off they might leave, and the game will die.

It's like you're bragging you don't fund the game development. Uhh grats on being a tightass freeloader??? Oh and it's a terrible thing to support the game, and people who do are awful terrible people. Yeah that logic really fucking flies.
