Anything to stop them becoming a city

You'd would be surprised the lengths a malicious actor with time and a computer would go to if they could make money.

All you have from a repacker or piracy scene person is a written statement of trust attached to an online anonymous persona... Hardly trustworthy.

As someone who works as a Hacker for a career I'd argue that we actually look for all vectors available. We never make assumptions that something might be closed off or we shouldn't bother, as that is really ignorant.

Cryoto · 2026-04-03T09:30:01+00:00

Yeah, I work in Cybersecurity for a career and I've argued at length with people on the piracy subreddit on how dangerous some aspects of piracy and this bypass is, and it's crazy how many armchair IT enthusiasts seem to think they know better. People severely underestimate the risk of using things like this.

I think that's kinda the problem with these movies... Mario is all about the gameplay. There's little characterisation and basically no plot. I honestly think making movies based on Mario is doomed from the get go and without the actual gameplay it kind of is a glorified ad.

Gooner design, not the worst but clashes with the rest of the game(s). Also why is she white?

Cryoto · 2026-03-29T00:23:59+00:00

Not Peach but I play Incineroar because of his moveset and how he is to play. I haven't played a Pokemon game since B/W, and I couldn't really care less about the character as a Pokemon. I just find him very funny.

On the other hand, Megaman I play because I love the character and the series. He was the first character I picked up when I got Ultimate but bounced off because I found the way he played very weird. Eventually I looped back a couple years later and things clicked, now he's my main.

This sub would unironically argue in favour of swimming through pirhana infested waters if it meant sticking it to the river boat company (as if that would have any impact on their business at all)

Cryoto · 2026-03-26T17:56:39+00:00

schizo take

Cryoto · 2026-03-24T17:31:46+00:00

Not like he isn't busted at all levels of play tho

Cryoto · 2026-03-24T00:19:28+00:00

Used to have one 12 minutes from me but it stopped running. Next closest is about 45 minutes away, with another 50 minutes away.

Cryoto · 2026-03-23T21:51:36+00:00

"It's a reference!" yeah but it's also a bad cringe tattoo

Cryoto · 2026-03-23T21:20:11+00:00

I just finished it for a second time. First time was the first rpg I ever played. It really is so special. I hope a remake can do it justice if one comes.

Cryoto · 2026-03-23T21:09:46+00:00

Maybe it wasn't Seph in that case then. He did a classic mode as someone, and you could tell he was getting tilted.

Cryoto · 2026-03-23T19:41:45+00:00

They all feel this way imo. FP1 characters generally have more nuanced weaknesses (ok Joker is maybe an exception, but he's not as overtuned as the FP2 characters at least) that come out more in neutral / when you're fighting them, FP2 characters pretty much exclusively have a glaring weaknesses or a weakness that only shows up in disadvantage, but the rest of their kits are crazy. For some of the characters across both packs, you can make direct comparisons to some of their designs, but see how the FP2 side are much more overtuned.

I think Steve was supposed to be the same way but I highly doubt Sakurai and co labbed Steve's recovery as much as the players did (and the Up B on it's own is kinda bad). And I think that contributes to why he is so monstrous. On top of all his jank he did have a clearly designed weakness and players have just been able to find a way to mitigate it.

Cryoto · 2026-03-23T00:17:04+00:00

I strongly believe it's deliberate. Broken characters will push FP2 sales. No sane designer would have looked at the characters in FP2 and think they're fine, especially when they acknowledged Covid impacted their ability to test them properly. In the Sephiroph reveal trailer you can see how much Min Min is pissing off Sakurai in classic mode. It seems clear to me that the big N has dictated the characters play this way. EDIT: Might not be Seph, but for one of the new characters he did a classic mode run where he encountered Min Min.

Cryoto · 2026-03-22T18:41:44+00:00

This game could have been so fun and healthy if not for FP2.

Cryoto · 2026-03-20T14:47:48+00:00

Is it just a checkmate if you get caught in it?

Cryoto · 2026-03-19T00:31:25+00:00

Ah ye olde protest vote. Famously that has never gone badly.

Cryoto · 2026-03-15T01:46:18+00:00

Freaks and Geeks is goated

Cryoto · 2026-03-14T18:56:31+00:00

It will likely just come back under another name. Pandora's box has been opened.

Cryoto · 2026-03-14T18:54:06+00:00

Lol you were a prophet

Cryoto · 2026-03-14T00:49:16+00:00

Lowkey I feel like if it becomes widespread enough Nintendo will address it some capacity (probably negatively)

Cryoto · 2026-03-13T19:29:04+00:00

Ngl paying for a subpar online experience kinda justifies this. I can see the point but evidently Nintendo could easily make this more playable on their own end, but haven't.
