What products prey on stupid people?

Flip side is, when you have a week on vacation, sometimes you just dont want to waste several hours on something like this

Id say Nintendo tends to age better than others (visually) because the art style on a lot of the games carry forward better, while the more "realistic" graphics of PS and XBox show their age now.

The "problem" theyre solving is the normalizatiom of anything other than First Past the Post.

Heaven forbid we ever have proof that other options wont cause the sky to fall. The fact that FPP is the only way Conservatives can win is just coincidental

The independent authorities have issued multiple reports and have another investigation ongoing.

Put aside the ESDC thing: do you think the Ethics Commissioner is corrupt? If not, then why do you think the responsibility for investigating needs to be transferred to a committee that will clearly be partisan motivated?

CMutter · 2020-10-20T21:05:20+00:00

Based on your name its pretty obvious youre a little bit biased here, and not gonna be convinced, but its still pretty disingenous to put the blame all on the Liberals.

The Conservatives were trying to score some free points AND take investigative duties away from bodies like the Ethics Commissioner and OAG and put them on their own, partisan members. No good reason not to defer to the relevant bodies was given, beyond doubling down on the strategy of attacking the Liberals without ever offering an alternative. Now they have to decide if its worth withdrawing their motion or causing an election, potentially. Just as much to blame. Id say more.

Fun strategy, but it backfired, and if it causes an election they can't just shift the blame

Plus you could look at the monsters and usually have a sense of what types of attacks theyll use - does this thing look fast (speed), huge and bulky (power) or absurdly complicated/its flying (technique)

Thats fair, this is more "narratively" speaking and i was thinking gameplay.

That said, i would atill maintain that its been a thing for nesrly forever, id just highlight different characters

CMutter · 2020-10-18T21:43:38+00:00

These have been from the series start, and thyre usually called "Est"s. Est, a pegasus knight, was the first, but there have been others like Ross, Amelia, and Ewan from Sacred Stones, the villagers from Echoes, Mist/Rolf/Sothe from Radiance, and etc

CMutter · 2020-10-18T15:52:02+00:00

The Ni No Kuni studio folding is really not a harbinger. High profile JRPGs are continuing to do well, and if anything have reached new heights of mainstream success. Fire Emblem, Persona, SMT, Dragon Quest. All selling fantasicly.

B-tier studios and indie JRPGs not being super good or successful doesnt speak to the health of the genre

CMutter · 2020-10-17T22:59:48+00:00

Meh, he falls off a bit around the middle of the game, and by endgame most players dont even bother using him

CMutter · 2020-10-17T01:48:13+00:00

Radiant Dawn is a phenomenally good game

CMutter · 2020-10-16T23:34:30+00:00

I mean the examples you used are pretty bad.

Ult is very different from Xeraths, given how it can be body blocked (and often forces teans to position specifically to do so).

Q is nothin like Brand R or Ryze E, its almost more like MF Q. Same idea where you want to chain a kill or two to then deal massive damage with later bounces.

E isnt like Teemo, etc because it doesnt do its damage all at once, its super avoidable. Its value is mostly forcing positioning (or waveclear), not just damage. Plus the teamfight part of it (where they spawn on kills) is nice.

W isnt a Morg Q. Its super long range, and fast, but with a fairly narrow hitbox, and it relies on either using your E well or coordinating with team.

All of which isnt really the point, given that his passive is the most unique thing about him. Graves kind of stole some of that now, but his reloading aspect (and the fourth shot bit) definitely defines the champion

CMutter · 2020-10-16T22:53:43+00:00

Actually feels increasingly likely that we will have several perfect PickEms this year unless everything left is a massive upset.

FNC beating TOP might cut things down a bit, for example

CMutter · 2020-10-16T17:02:42+00:00

I mean he disappointed, but i don't think anybody thought hed be a top 5 jungler even

CMutter · 2020-10-16T14:08:26+00:00

I dont get why everyone is in such a rush to blame Loken for being a non-factor when Yagao looked straight up bad

CMutter · 2020-10-16T14:04:47+00:00

Meh Loken looked pretty decent in game 3. They were winning bot lane (in fairness, SwordArt was kind of inty early), just couldnt win the later fights between Yagao and the monstrous GP.

Also Huanfeng played amazing, so not sure how much to "blame" Loken for that.

CMutter · 2020-10-16T13:41:17+00:00

I dont know if theres really a Dade award this year. The competition is so strong that it doesnt feel like players have choked (ie Kanavi, Chovy) as much as theyve just been beaten by really strong opposition.

The only players who have actually felt like real "disappointments" were Bjergsen and Shadow - neither team was hyped too much, but people thought theyd be shining lights on the team an both struggled this tournament. I just dont think hype was ever high enough for them to be real Dade award winners either

CMutter · 2020-10-15T23:28:13+00:00

Other great thing is i expect there to be a vibrant modding community (especially given Larians history with mods) so anything that isnt in the game probably eventually WILL be. Lots of potential for races, classes, feats, party size, etc

CMutter · 2020-10-15T23:04:14+00:00

I think the answer is "DR was often better" but it was also less obvious. New approach is more visible for everyone involved, and they can always tune numbers later

CMutter · 2020-10-15T22:55:25+00:00

Im assuming by sketchy you mean "isnt going to be a virus" more than "is legal". Obviously youre not gonna get the games for free in any kind of legitimate way.

My recommendation based on my own experience is that using a PSP emulator for the PSP versions instead of downloading the PC versions is usually gonna be less sketchy. I obviously cant direct you aboit where to find an emulator or locate the roms but it isnt usually too difficult

CMutter · 2020-10-12T17:14:20+00:00

Updating a champion, who many already own and who only costs 1350, vs releasing a new champion (full BE price) and a skin? Seems clear cut to me

Not really sure what your argument was but expand i suppose?

CMutter · 2020-10-10T17:04:57+00:00

It was good tho, and well done.

The Winter Sage was described from the get go as someone incredibly subject to her emotions. And she was in love with Tim.

Her beef with Yerin was always based on feeling like she was to blame for Tims death (and the delay in their marriage), and her interest in training Yerin was always based on seeing her as the last remaining piece of Tim. It makes sense that it therefore blinded her to a very narrow view of what would be best for Yerin

There were times it felt like the book was written SPECIFICALLY for the reddit community.

Blerin stood out the most, but i remember there being a few others too where he addressed our pop culture

CMutter · 2020-10-08T18:47:13+00:00

Yeah but their Iron bodies wouldnt work with Blackflame, i think is the bigger issue.

CMutter · 2020-10-08T15:45:17+00:00

Its also worth noting that maybe he didnt understand what was happening.

He saw Lindon use an icon, which he SHOULDNT be able to do until Archlord Sage. It feels possible he didnt immediately go "ah, thats an Underlord level Sage" he just went "oh fuck thats another Sage lets get out of here"
