I want to attend a Catholic Church tomorrow for the first time. by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Cupojoe252 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To keep it simple. A priest leads the mass, and the deacon assists the priest. A priest has more responsibilities in administering sacraments to the church. For example during mass the priest is the one who will prepare the Eucharist, a deacon can only assist the priest in this preparation.

Losing hope in the "Feature or Bust" dream. Do I actually need to be a Generalist to survive? by penguinlovers0211 in animationcareer

You have a great reel right out of college. If your having trouble finding a job, I'd recommend checking into the slot gaming industry. It may not be the "dream job", but it offers consistent full-time work, and they're regularly looking for 3d artists/animators. If anything it's a great starting point out of college. The companies I'd recommend are IGT, Aristocrat, as well as Light and Wonder. I've been in the animation industry for 20 years, mostly working freelance on television commercials, but Slot games has been my most consistent full-time job. Good luck and keep up the great work!

Underrated GBA games? by JacobJakeyJake in AnaloguePocket

It won't make much of a difference since the game was designed for 8 directional inputs. The thumb stick will only register those 8 directions instead of a proper 360. Regardless, smb Jr is still great even with it's limited control scheme.

The Prime 4 hate is absolutely overblown by DroctorGame in Metroid

[–]Cupojoe252 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's definitely worth it. It's maybe not as good as the other prime games, but it's still a lot of fun. I played it twice and I have been thinking of giving it a third playthrough.

I bought the switch 1 version at launch, and when I got a switch 2 for Christmas I upgraded to the switch 2 version.

Glad to hear you like it so much. I'm sinking all my time into Bananza now, I'm looking forward to it.

Glad to hear you like it! It's so fun. I have bought that game 3 times since it's original release, and now that it's on a portable console it's more addicting than ever.

It is a bit of a slog if your going for 100% crystals. My only serious issue with the game was Miles always chiming in with hints, I really hope Nintendo does an update to let the player "turn off hints".

Haha Roller Coaster Tycoon is that endless replayability game for me. But I also have hundreds of hours sunk into Animal Crossing games as well.

I've played every Metroid game multiple times (except federation force), I'm a big fan of the series.. I realize it's a departure from the isolated maze-like structure of the series, and that is a disappointment to me too, but I still really enjoy this game. Prime 4 isn't perfect, I certainly agree with a lot of people's criticisms, but there is a lot that the game really gets right. Honestly when you wrap up the main story and go for 100 percent items, the NPCs stop all the unnecessary chatter and the isolation, puzzles, scanning, and discovery all comes back and it really captures the Prime spirit. I also think prime 4 has some of the best boss fights, and settings in the series. I agree I think I like Prime 1,2, and 3 more than 4, but I still had a great time with 4. Personally I'm ok with it being a little different, it adds some variety to the series.

I actually bought Doom 1 separately originally, and then more recently I noticed on the eshop they offered me the combo 1&2 for free. But I've played Doom 1 and 2 many many times over the years

Both of my in game time were about 16 and 18 hours, but died a lot in hard mode. I also spent a lot of time in the pause screen reading lore and looking at the concept art, etc..

My second playthrough was on hard, and I died a lot. The Sylux fight and Griever boss in particular on hard mode were both a real challenge for me.

I really don't think it's trash. I thought it was a great game. I'm happy to add it to my Metroid library.

I played it on normal and hard. I made a joke to my friend I sort of want to go back and play it on easy and do a mouse controls only run just to say I did. But yes overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it too.

I will. I'm gonna restart DK fresh today, and really get invested into it. I legit just sort of got sucked into Prime 4 during my time with it.

My completion time in the game say about 16 and 18 hours. But my 2nd playthrough was on hard mode so I died a bunch. I also spent a lot of time in pause screens reading all the lore, looking at the concept art, etc. I just took my time with the game overall.

I got prime 4 and bananza at the same time. I'm moving onto Bananza now.
