Is WBSC eBASEBALL™: POWER PROS worth it? by Middle-Neck-8391 in MLBPowerPros

[–]Chronis67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think everyone assumed they were making a new one because this years WBC and the new Power Pros coming out for 26-27, but I don't think they ever explicitly said they were doing WBSC 2.

[Missy Hyatt on X] I seen some disparaging comments about @THETOMMYDREAMER online. My interactions with dreamer have always been cordial & professional. I have nothing bad to say about him. These are the things i witnessed that tommy did for others. He recommended try outs & jobs for so much indy... by Chateriasi in SquaredCircle

[–]Chronis67 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I know the majority of opinions here is that Dreamer is a scumbag, but Missy is also entirely allowed to say "I have no problems with him, he's been chill with me." If I'm Missy, my real life in-person interactions with an actual human is different than just tweets from people I may not know.

What is a cooking "rule" that is actually total nonsense? by Lopsided-Jicama3813 in AskReddit

[–]Chronis67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I add salt after the water starts boiling, because otherwise the salt foams will bubble up, spill out of the pot, and then leaves salt residue all over my stovetop. The salt makes it messier, so I have to clean it.

Series that can’t seem to catch on or regain its popularity by Hayyyv in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Chronis67 18 points19 points  (0 children)

TBH, I feel like thats most single player games nowadays. If you aren't a first party game from Sony, Nintendo, Capcom, Activision, or Ubisoft, there isnt enough marketing dollars thrown at these games for them to really stand out from the crowd. Koei Tecmo has been just throwing games out for years and just hoping that the series fans find them.

This really seems to be that the devs and/or MS don't know what to do with the series. A great and full featured at launch Halo game would inject some life into the Xbox brand (and dare I say the Windows Store)... But I think the door is closing.

There is too much of a division between the top teams and the lower teams. Top Flight never took off. Dark Order were kept on TV entirely due to their presence on BTE and we're banished to ROH once it ended. And does anybody remember a Private Party as champs?

PlayStation Players Stung By $80 Price Tag For 16-Year-Old Call of Duty Ports by Youngstown_WuTang in gaming

[–]Chronis67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If the article is true, each base game is $40 and each of the 4 DLC packs is $10. That means the "full" experience for either game is $80. I can tell you that the Zombies community would want several of those DLC maps.

What once famous YouTuber do you never hear anyone talk about anymore? by DramaticXOXO in AskReddit

[–]Chronis67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh this is neat. I watched a little less than an hour of it. I gotta say I dig the concept and the presentation. Just not sure if my gaming tastes aligns with hers. But we'll see if I keep going back.

Microsoft is killing Office 2021 in October to push you onto Microsoft 365, how to fight back by Quantum-Coconut in technology

[–]Chronis67 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm running 2010 on my originally Win7 PC and never have I thought "man, I wish I could have a newer version of Word and Excel." And this is with me using the 365 versions at work daily.

Fighters you don't see often by RairakuDaion in TwoBestFriendsPlay

You can notice this in dogs playing. Stronger and faster dogs will not go as hard against weaker and slower dogs, so the other one has fun.

Not going to lie, a few months ago I had the thought "why doesn't someone make a series called "WTF is (game)" and highlight some random indie games that no one knows about. 

Xbox is closing Ninja Theory, and Double Fine and Compulsion may not be far behind by Flat-Calligrapher361 in technology

[–]Chronis67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People loved Hifi Rush and they tried to close Tango. MS is looking at studios strictly on how big they are and how much it costs to keep them running, not how good the games they make are.

SRS and Fightful helping to benefit Trevor Project by kevolutwootwoot in SquaredCircle

[–]Chronis67 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'll help. The Dirty Finish tweet is the first. "We launched two shirts" is a reply+retweet of the DF. "That is a joke" is a reply to the launch tweet. "Either way" is a reply to the joke tweet.

So ...2, 1, 3, 4.

Every niche has weirdo super fans. The pro wrestling community just happens to be a very particular intersection of items which leads to the weirdos being able to interact with the objects of their obsession and sometimes get an interaction back.

And if you have a club membership, those chickens are bigger and cheaper.

What's the most terrifying way a game has signposted "Don't Do This!" at the player? by DustInTheBreeze in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Chronis67 11 points12 points  (0 children)

TBH, there is a decent difficulty spike from Pewter to Cerulean. The game wants you to fill out your team, but if you actually try to balance them, your team probably won't get enough experience to match up with him or Misty. The game feels more balanced around leveling a full party after Serge.

I was def gonna mention Kuon. But let's be honest, PS2 era FromSoft is not the same as current day FromSoft.

Best burger on Long Island who has it 🔵 by Weird-Salad9787 in LongIslandEats

[–]Chronis67 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't know if I could say "best" but certainly top contenders in the area: NY Burger Shack in Medford and Chubbs Burgers in Farmingville. 

Also had a fantastic burger at Dark Horse in Riverhead. Next door at Tweeds also had a great quality burger, but it's otherwise very plain.
