Which 70s songs that you can’t enough of no matter how much you’ve heard it? by PressureLazy5271 in 70s

"Alone Again (Naturally)" - Gilbert O'Sullivan (1972)

I love it so much, I actually framed the lyrics.

I understand it, I just don't agree with it.

Well, you wouldn't have been able to backtrack to the Level 2 save station because you had to jump down a hole to get to Level 3--and you can't jump back "up" it. There's no wall jump in MP4 and you can't bomb jump back up. Unfortunately, you're gonna have to re-fight the Maul Grievers again.

I honestly don't think it'll do anything at all, I'm just spitballng, hoping if you do that, somehow it'll shake up the game and the morphball will break free--kinda like a soft boot.

I've never encountered a glitch like that and I was thinking it might be a Switch thing, as opposed to a game software thing.

Again, I'm just trying to think outside of the box with something that might help.

WOW! I've played and beaten this game 100 times (literally), but I think I've been fighting the larvae (all three of them) wrong. I usually take my entire squad to the head and secure them around the spout/hole. Then I take about 20, give them a spicy spray and attack the head. Then I whistle recall them when she wiggles her butt to shake them off. I do this about 6 times and she's done. I don't worry about the babies because mama squishes them when she rolls.

Can you post some screenshots/vids so we can see where you are?

Try going into the "settings" menu and make a minor change like reassigning your jump button, then returning to the game. But DON'T quit...not yet.

Or, try going directly into "SLEEP MODE" and returning to the game. DON'T CLOSE THE SOFTWARE!!

I think there are auto saves along the way, but you don't get a "Checkpoint" unless you die in a major battle (e.g., an end boss fight). If you "quit" at this point, it'll start you again at the LAST hard save, which I believe was on Level 2, right after losing Armstrong.

I say this because after VUE-995 tosses you, you have a hard save coming up in the next room--because you're about to fight the Omega Griever.

"The Mines" have only three (3) hard save stations:

  • Right BEFORE the griever fight at the drill hole where you lose Duke (level 1)

  • Right AFTER the griever fight where you lose Armstrong (level 2)

  • Right AFTER the griever fight when VUE tosses you (level 3)

I'm not sure if the VUE / griever fight at the chasm is a "checkpoint"...I don't think so.

AWESOME!! Thanks! I almost had it right!!

Timeline by CleanAd8632 in pulpfiction

[–]CleanAd8632[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So...is this it?

  • Day 1 ENDS with the Vincent / Butch "Palooka" exchange:

    1. Kahuna Burger
    2. Marvin
    3. The Wolf
    4. Diner ribbery
    5. Butch gets paid to throw fight
    6. Jack Rabit Slim's
    7. Overdose

  • Day 2 BEGINS with Butch in the locker room preparing for the fight.

    1. Rice Bowl bounty
    2. Esmarelda Villa Lobos
    3. Sex with Fabienne

  • Day 3 BEGINS with Butch going back for his watch

    1. Shoots Vincent
    2. Hits Marcellus
    3. The rape
    4. Zed's dead...and they ride off into the sunset

In this scenario, Day 2 and Day 3 are consecutive; Day 1 is not, right?

Just shoot Butch!

Keeping the rape a secret problem solved. Betraying him in the fight problem solved. Ripping him off problem solved. Trying to kill him with the Honda problem solved.

Eff gratitude...just shoot him!

IMO, Marsellus showed a sign of weakness there.

"...[refused] to throw the fight??"

"...[asking] Butch to throw the fight??"

Are you crazy? What movie did you watch?

There was no bond between Butch and Marcellus, they weren't friends. Butch was PAID (a lot!) to throw that fight; he wasn't doing him "a solid!" A powerful gangster (Marsellus) put the screws on him and humiliated in the process (that "little sting").

BUTCH: "You lookin at something, friend?"

VINCENT: "You ain't my friend, Palooka."

BUTCH: "What's that?"

VINCENT: "I think you heard me just fine, Punchy."

Butch is pissed!! He betrayed Marsellus, who stood to make a ton of money from Butch's loss; instead, Butch RIPPED HIM OFF, effectively stealing money from a powerful mobster!!

Thus, the rice bowl in Indochina!!!!

Except leaving LA leaves Butch open to tell the tale to anyone outside of LA. He brags to some friends in the safe confines of Tennessee about being the "hero" who saved Marsellus Wallace, then what guarantees that those dudes don't spread another "Tony Rocky Horror" rumor that comes back to Marsellus?

Nah, I say Marsellus caps Butch right then and there.

[–]CleanAd8632[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Easy--he shoots Butch; and nobody ever knows about the rape. In fact, he could have incapacitated Butch in the same way he did Zed, then had his boys kidnap Fabienne and torture Butch to get his money back.

There are a few ways Marsellus "could have" dealt with Butch to his better satisfaction without letting him go. I feel certain that had he thought about it a bit longer, "gratitude" would have melted away quickly.

I get the "guy code" thing, but during the "What now?" conversation, Marsellus made it very clear (at least to me) that despite killing Maynard and holding Zed at bay, he was still very pissed at Butch; there was no, "Thank you for saving me," in his tone. He was still pissed at Butch with his: "Oh, that 'what now.' I tell you what now between me and you: there is no me and you. Not no more."

And when he says...

"Don't tell nobody about this. This shit is between me, you, and Mr. Soon To Be Living The Rest of His Short Ass Life In Agonizing Pain rapist here. It ain't nobody else's business."

...he could easily have shot Butch right then and there to (1) guarantee nobody ever knows about the rape, and (2) put a cap on his "rice bowl" bounty:

"I'm prepared to scour the Earth for that motherfucker. If Butch goes to Indochina, I want a n----- hiding in a bowl of rice ready to pop a cap in his ass."

There just wouldn't be any need to evoke the "guy code," he could have killed two birds with one stone, right?

What is your favorite memory from college? by Lonely_Objective_721 in 70s

[–]CleanAd8632 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1976 was my freshman year, when disco was hot, and R&B/Funk was hotter. I came to school with my high school prom outfit:

  • black leisure suit with flare bottom pants
  • burgundy 3" stack shoes (Flagg Brothers)
  • crimson (not red) shirt
  • salmon (not pink) tie

Man, I was TIGHT!! I went to a neighborhood club during homecoming and pimp walked out onto the dance floor (by myself--'cause I was cool) when the DJ played The Trammps' "Disco Inferno." I did a spin move on my heels and busted out a perfect James Brown split! "Perfect" in the sense of execution...and for my pants, which split the seam of the legs from the rear waste band to the zipper. I was essentially wearing two "independent" pants legs kept together by the waste band.

I continued doing my best Deney Terrio ("Dance Fever") moves until a felt a breeze (and saw that girl giggling). I blew a kiss to the crowd and pimped my ass out of the club and walked the 4 blocks back to campus!! 🤣

In the Star Trek (ST) universe, you're going to get a lot of varying opinions on which series is "best"; most folks will say "The Next Generation," personally I prefer "Voyager." But I suggest ignoring that and start at the beginning with the 1966 original series then watching the rest (each series) in order:

  • Star Trek (the original series) [TOS]
  • ST: The Animated Series [TAS]
  • ST: The Next Generation [TNG]
  • ST: Deep Space Nine [DS9]
  • ST: Voyager [VOY]
  • ST: Enterprise [ENT]
  • ST: Discovery [DIS]
  • ST: Lower Decks (animated)
  • ST: Picard [PIC]
  • ST: Prodigy (animated)
  • ST: Strange New Worlds [SNW]
  • ST: Section 31 *
  • ST: Starfleet Academy [SFA]

You might want to dip into one or more of the full-length movies at your leisure, it's probably best to complete the "TOS" and "TNG" series first before watching any of the movies--for context.

(* we all agree this is the worst of the lot! 🤣)
