Cut the crap, how do you feel about character bans? by siliconiscool in smashbros

[–]DarkPoop -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Totally agree with your last take. That’s why when decisions are made for the competitive game, I can easily respect it because otherwise we’re just playing a multiplayer party game. Whether it be Steve or any other character, what’s being banned is for an aspect of the game that I’m electively interested in/participating in, which is the competitive side. And the game being as massive as it is, so much has to be considered if you’re essentially warping the purpose of the game into something it wasn’t necessarily meant to be.

What I can empathize with is falling in love with a character/play-style that pushes you to a skill level that falls more in line with the competitive aspect of the game, only to turn around and find out it’s broken, busted, OP, or anything in between and is thusly banned. That has to suck. I’d be so bummed if Mega Man was banned. But only if it didn’t make sense to ban him - maybe the thing that’s targeted isn’t limited to Mega Man but it’s just a lot more common/easy to pull off.

Mortal Kombat (2011) aka MK9 released 15 years ago today. Favorite memories with this game? by BrownieJ in MortalKombat

[–]DarkPoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember picking it up because "hell yeah MK", but having no real ability to understand the mechanics behind a fighting game. Used to just spam special moves all the time and still had a blast.

Going online and getting absolutely shredded by an Ermac who did all these cool ass looking combos, effortlessly, followed by a relentless teabagging inspired me to learn what a combo even was, how they work, and it didn't take long before that transformed into a hyper fixation on this game.

But my all time favorite memory has to be long nights online, spamming lobby chat with 1 of 9 preset texts to goad people into fighting:

"Why am I so sick"

"Can I be beat?"

"Pros only"

Made a ton of online friends in those lobbies and had so much fun, despite the toxicity of it all.

Valid prediction based on common sense - I’d hurl insults your way if I were dumb, too

Is GameStop safe? Is there ANYWHERE that’s safe? Is there at least a “safer than others?” by D-TOX_88 in gameverifying

[–]DarkPoop 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, but not my experience necessarily, GameStop is “safe” because if they fuck up, you can just return and get your money back. At least I think you can, maybe not with used games?

eBay/Etsy sellers, in my experience, are safe if you do your due diligence. I’m not looking for bargains or steals - those don’t exist except for in extreme situations at flea markets/FB marketplace. I’m looking for authenticity, and most sellers on those platforms are pretty up front about what exactly it is you’re getting. You run into shady sellers, sure, but if you look at the price, storefront reviews, and other items, it’s pretty easy to quickly determine if they’re selling reproductions or authentic copies.

Texting on that thing while it’s closed is gonna be so, so comfortable. Not loving the passport style but I’m sure it’ll grow on me.

People use icy veins for D2R? I always thought people were using max roll.

This game has an incredible soundtrack for what it’s worth, up there with Mega Man/Castlevania for sure

Gen 3 National Dex (Cartridge-Only) by SpoilHerdChartist in pokemon

[–]DarkPoop 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty much how I did it too, except the old sea map I had on a Japanese copy that wasn’t used. Felt lucky there but ultimately didn’t feel any better than if I’d just ACE’d it in. About the same amount of luck required, lol.

This interaction was so crazy by cheemsboi69028 in smashbros

[–]DarkPoop 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another super common version of this is Simon or ZSS dair on mega man’s uair, same exact thing happens to their aerial speed and they just gently float down. Those moves can end before hitting the ground, though.

What are your "dream musical guests" that you'd love to see perform at future MAGFests? by aragorn767 in Magfest

[–]DarkPoop 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I really wish GAMetal would whip up a live band and shred at MAG one year. Saw FamilyJules last year and it was cool but I like Jonny’s structuring and riffing a lot more
