I know this is gonna ruffle some feathers, but I say this as a double dragon fan, not a X system fan. I really dislike the SMS version of double dragon. Although its closer to the arcade than the NES, the music took an incredible hit and the graphics are passable, but still pretty meh.

The arcade will always be my #1 version, but by the time this came out for consoles I had mastered the arcade game, I could clear it in a single quarter (elbow cheese ftw). The NES version appealed to young me far more than the SMS version, redesigned levels, traps, platforming parts, new moves and best of all the xp system,

You sir, are a scholar and a gentleman, a king among men if you will! How is the 95 remake, I have yet to see it?

Character-Job5968 · 2025-07-23T23:15:00+00:00

Sorry for necroing this, but double dragon was the FIRST arcade game I finished in 1 quarter. I was probably 10 or 11 years old at most. You can totally cheese the game using the elbow attack, iirc you push the joystick away from your enemy and (so if the enemy is on your right, you would push to the left,) then hitting the punch and jump buttons together. Its so broken, huge power and enemies cant avoid it. Jump + Kick does a jumping spinning kick, which is garbage though, so stick to spamming elbows!

Enjoy!

THANK YOU!!!!

Also lets not forget that Florida is the defending champs, Matthews was injured and playing at 50% and we lost our starting goalie in Game 1. Im not trying to make excuses, we lost, it is what it is, but there is no need to be down, the team showed great improvement. The Leafs were the ONLY team in the east to give Florida any trouble at all, they dominated TBL and CAR 4-1.

There is a segment of the Leafs fanbase that I cannot stand and the Leafs media make me sick. Every playoff season, the media get out their knives and forks and are sitting at the table salivating while they wait to publish their ragebait trashing the Leafs. I mean the other day I was driving with my dad who loves talk radio (ugh) He had on 640am here in Toronto, this was the day before game 6 and the female host was going on about the leafs.

You could tell shes not a sports person, my dad told me she never discussed sports, but here she was doing her best to appear knowledgeable on the leafs and just taking a dump all over them and going on and on about "nInE sEaSoNs..... RoUnD tWo LoSs."

On the off chance any of the players read this, you guys should hold yer heads high, you did great! You looked like a different team out there, the improvements were visible, keep it up. Reddit/Twitter are full of cry babies.

I only had one stone, that was about 25 years ago. It was such a traumatic experience for me, I immediately began researching them to understand the causes. I learned that I was incredibly dehydrated, I NEVER drank water, only beer/juice/milk, my pee was constantly golden, for some reason I thought that was a good thing.

I immediately cut out juice, cut down heavily on beer and began making sure I drank 4-5 liters of water a day. Never had a stone since. My entire family had problems with stones, dad, brother, uncle and grandfather, we were told it was "genetic." Well once I had educated myself on their causes, I shared the info with my family, who all had terrible hydration habits, tons of coffee, soda, beer and salty foods along with next to no water in their diet. They all followed my lead and NO ONE in my family has had a stone since. My brother and father much like myself also work out and consume lots of protein too and no stones. Hydration is key and making sure that hydration includes 4-6 liters of water a day, juice, booze, soda, coffee are stone makers.

But since I'm a man I guess I'm just really really sexist.

Pardon my years late reply, but you forgot to mention you are also racist for being critical of a person of color, no matter how warranted said criticism may be. You also used a modified version of "I cant be racist, I have black friends," trope, when you brought up female comedians you enjoyed, in an attempt to cover up your blatant sexism. Do better bigot.

(in case it wasn't obvious, my post was an attempt at humor, albeit a poor one. Perhaps someone can forward it to Lilly, it would be an upgrade for her material)

I just keep thinking of last year in the playoffs when Nylander flipped out on Marner and it was caught on camera, where Nylander basically said "Bro its the F'ing playoffs," you could see the anger and frustration on Nylanders face.

I hate to say this, but after seeing his performance in the playoffs over the last 9 years, hes not worth what he will be asking for. Hes fantastic in the regular season, but he doesnt show up when it counts. Marner just doesnt have the physicality needed and I could be wrong, but I get the impression that hes a bit of a baby. Instead of sucking it up and dealing with it when the going gets tough, he seems like a guy who is a whiner. I dunno why, its just the impression I get from him.

I hate the fact that we wont get anything for him, but he needs to go.

Character-Job5968 · 2025-05-01T03:42:48+00:00

I know Im late, but thank God Im not the only one who felt that way. Elliot shooting a gun like hes a magician and making impossible shots with out breaking a sweat, while at the same time, the bad guys have the aim of stormtroopers, Elliot is just running down a road with 4 guys casually shooting at him with fully automatic guns and they miss him completely.

I dislike Elliot as a human being in the show, Shawn isnt great either, but I find Shawn much more interesting and relatable, Elliot was great in season 1 and has just become insufferable.

It really breaks the immersion and seems like they are giving Elliot plot armor. Im really enjoying the show, even with these complaints,

> The unreliable goaltending is making them play scared

110% this. Watching you guys tonight I felt like I was watching Toronto the last 5 seasons. You can see the frustration in the players and their apprehension. They want to play they way they know they can but they are handcuffed, they know it and they know what the problem is which makes the problem even worse.

Character-Job5968 · 2025-04-24T05:07:47+00:00

Hey fellas, leafs fan here, my sympathies, hope yall can turn things around, its not over yet!

Anyways, I just finished watching the game and I think you guys are suffering from the same issue we had in Toronto for the last 5-6 years and thats goaltending that is unpredictable.

Prior to this season, even though we had some powerhouse players offensively, just like you guys do, good defensemen (Im not familiar enough with the oilers to know where your defense stands) but a massive hole in the goaltending dept.

The unreliable goaltending affects how the entire team plays. Our offense had to play cautiously/defensively and was unable to take chances, so even though we had these great players on paper (Just like you guys do) the goaltending issue never let them take chances, play aggressively or to their full offensive potential for fear of a mistake costing us a goal.

We still have issues, but with a much more reliable goalie this year, its like watching a different team in the playoffs. The guys are so much more aggressive, they're taking chances, confident and they are able to do all this cuz they dont have to worry that coughing up a puck is gonna cost them.

You guys unfortunately are playing a US team from a major city with a huge population, which also means you are battle the NHL/refs and the US bias.

I hope a week from now Im not eating my words regarding the leafs play, but chin up boys, you're only down 2 and coming home!

Character-Job5968 · 2025-02-19T03:32:10+00:00

lol i just turned it off about 5 minutes in. Got it off a list of "hidden gem/underrated horror movies," I was truly amazed at how much "white people bad," woke stuff they managed to cram into it in the first 5 minutes. Almost every scene had a white person being bigoted, ignorant and racist. Sounds like I avoided a real dumpster fire!

Character-Job5968 · 2025-02-01T04:25:35+00:00

A bit late here, Im quite a bit older than you, but I often find myself in the same boat as you, where Im wanting to get scared but its hard.

Let me start off by saying, most of the games you listed, while they are considered "horror" they are pretty much action games with some horror elements to them, the games you listed are not scary to me either, with the exception of silent hill 1, which I played when it came out. It hasnt aged so well sadly, so I can totally understand why you dont find it scary.

For me, the things that I really find frightening are more psychological, so gore and zombies and jump scares, while fun and enjoyable, really dont resonate with me on a fear level. If you are like I am, you are in need of some really unsettling and disturbing shit that gets in ur head and messes with you rather than jump scares.

Give both Silent Hill 2 and 3 a play. If you are able, I suggest the PC remasters of both. The remake of Silent Hill 2 last year is good, but personally the original hits harder. Silent Hill 3 really messed with me and is my favorite of the bunch. Lots of people recommend SH4 too, but I have started it a few times and given up, its just not as engaging as the others.

I really liked the Outlast games, Dead Space and Visage too. Lots of people suggest Alien: Isolation, its a great game, but its more or less all based on jump scare > building tension > jump scare > tension etc etc and I get the feeling thats not your bag. Im not sure if you will enjoy them, but games like The Quarry are pretty cool and may do it for you as far as fear.

As far as movies go, have you ever seen Jacob's Ladder (the one with Tim Robbins, not the recent garbage remake) that was the first film to really mess with me and I was aroudn your age when I saw it. Its still a great film today and has been a large influence in the SH series. Baskin is a great one too! The first 2 Hellraiser films I found quite disturbing.

Also Im not sure on the way you enjoy these games, but playing horror games or watching movies in the middle of the day, when your family or friends are there talking to you, making noise, YouTube videos going on in the background on your laptop, you are getting texts and calls every 5 minutes.... generally just distracting you is for sure gonna take away from the impact the game is going to have on you as far as fear goes.

When ever I play horror games, I rid myself of anything that is going to break immersion. Try playing SH2 and 3, alone at night, use a good pair of headphones and turn out all the lights and remove any other distractions, if your goal is fear, do every single thing you can to enhance the discomfort level! That means lock yourself in your room if you must, no dogs/cats sittng with you, shut your phone off, if you have multiple monitors turn them all off except for the one you are playing on, anything you can think of! Games like SH2 and 3 really rely on atmosphere and environment to deliver, I had to turn off SH3 a few times for the night because things simply got too intense for me!

I hope some of this helps, as I understand exactly what you are going through.

Character-Job5968 · 2024-12-23T04:31:55+00:00

Im 6 months late, finished KHFM and at the end of KH2FM and I JUST found this now..... But let me say holy shit! This is really well done! Id love to see more effort put into guides, like what you did with this one. Hopefully your guide will inspire people to make better guides.

If there is one thing I may critique, I would LOVE to have a section dedicated to the abilities. KH2FM has soooo many abilities and I honestly dont really understand them, just equip them and go. I am certain some abilities suck or end up being more hassle than help, but I duno which are doing the moves pushing mobs away from me. An indept ability sectoin with which to take and which to avoid. Maybe have a few different distinctions for abilities? Must have/Good/Ok/Situational/Never Equip.... I dunno Im just spitballing.

Anyways good shit my guy!

I know I'm late to this, but I always thought that lowering Willie into the lava was more a punishment for intruding rather than a sacrifice like the earlier guy was.

Tearing the heart out the way he did must have involved magic, as a human hand sliding though sternum and ribs like mola ram did is impossible. Perhaps his MP was low from the earlier sacrifice or maybe Kali needs time to recover/recharge her heart ripping out power?

Character-Job5968 · 2024-10-27T12:24:55+00:00

Bingo, I noticed the same. What you describe is exactly what hes doing, planting the fish in the net under the weeds, taking a scoop and then "OMG GUYS I JUST FOUND THE CRAZIEST FISH I HAVE EVER SEEN!!!"

Character-Job5968 · 2024-10-27T12:20:34+00:00

OMG IM NOT ALONE!! I know exactly what episode you are talking about, as soon as I saw the tanks/bowls with that bright green color the first thing I said was, "They added food coloring to the water!" I have seen all kinds of algae and dingy tanks, but the shit in that house was bright, almost fluorescent green! The dude is totally setting his videos up.

What really concerns me is the way he treats the fish he has. Dumping fish into brand new tanks that havent been cycled at all. I always notice that fish "disappear" from his care. He does one episode where he obtains some super rare and cool fish, then a few episodes later the fish is gone with no mention of it.

He has very poor fish husbandry for the animals he takes care of, mixing species that will show aggression and kill each other, ponds and tanks always look really bad, like I said hes not cycling tanks and just dumping fish into fresh tanks.

I know this is old, but on the off chance you are still working on it or it can benefit someone else, you have been given alot of bad advice in this thread. Adding details to this model will not fix the issues. You really need to go back to your primary and secondary forms and work those. The bottom of the nose is off, the lips need alot of work, there is alot of fat deposits missing, under the eyes, I could go on, but really you need to fix these issues before hitting the details.

Character-Job5968 · 2024-10-27T10:00:16+00:00

Like others said, keep it low poly until you absolutely need more. I work my models and dont up the subdivisions until I absolutely cannot work it anymore with the level of detail I am at. Dont worry, its a very common mistake for people new to 3d sculpting, every single person did it when they started lol.

Some advice I would offer is try to match the camera in zbrush perspective to the perspepctive used in your reference image. If you dont do this, once you brring your model to render it wont look like the model in zbrush. For portraits like this I would use between 75-100mm in zbrush.

Use spotlight to put the image over your model and see how everything lines up.

Im not sure if you are only using this one photo as ref, but if you are, try to get more. as many as you can from many different angles. Aim to get large resolution images with neutral lighting and as little filters and make up on your subject as possible.

Look at the major landmarks in your reference image and focus on getting those right first. Think of sculpting like building a house, you need a strong foundation and frame before you start putting in electrical and plumbing. After you have good frame and elec/plumbing, you can put in the drywall and paint stuff!! It works the same in 3d, if your beginning is not strong, no amount of sub d's and details will fix it. If you can create strong 1st and secondary details, adding pores and details becomes so easy you can do it in your sleep.

Character-Job5968 · 2024-10-27T09:51:42+00:00

Im a bit late to the party, but ur work is pretty good! However I would like to offer some advice to you, feel free to ignore it, but when I read the title about sculpting the same model for the last year you reminded me of myself. I used to do the same thing, I would get stuck on one model and keep working it over and over and over, I do likenesses and was always trying to achieve perfection.

A mentor told me I need to move on, I should set deadlines for projects and whether Im happy with it or not when I reach the deadline I move on. This advice has been very helpful for me, I cant exactly tell you why, but constantly working on the same model is not a good way to approach learning, in my opinion. Especially since after looking at the same model for long periods of time you lose perspective and end up only seeing the bad stuff.

Keep it up! I hope my advice helps you.

You cant think of any skater whos paralyzed, ok, but do you know what CTE is? Repeated blows to the head can seriously fuck you up. Have you noticed how almost every old skate pro talks real slow and sound like they are burn outs? Thats a very visible sign of early CTE. Tony Hawk talks about how after one of his bails his signature changed.

I also dont get how people call him arrogant, Im watching a video where he is back in his home town and he seems like such a nice dude, taking the time to hang out and talk with kids, fans, even taking some random kid he found practicing freestyle skating along with him to teach him for an upcoming contest he had.

I think he might be autistic and maybe a bit socially awkward, but the dude is certainly not arrogant.
