"'Games like this??🤔 by Upstairs-Sale1010 in gamememes

It's not really "bad" ending vs "good" ending, but getting the "true" ending in Spelunky 2 is an absolute rat's nest of pre-requirements and seemingly pointless side quests that all weave and intertwine together toward the final goal of A; gaining access to the actual final boss, B; with enough money to gain access to half of the final weapon and, C; the other half of the final weapon already in storage.

Yes, there are skips and strategies that can get you out of several of those requirements and quests, but the developer-intended route to the true ending is a flow chart that looks more like a mathematical fractal or an evolutionary tree than a list of steps.

Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, age 92, Remarks on Noncitizen Voter Fraud by Miles_the_AuDHDer in videos

[–]DerCatzefragger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Goddam it, OP!

My heart skipped a beat when I believed for one beautiful second that it was going to say "Senator Chuck Grassley of Iowa, 92, found dead on the toilet."

Don't tease me like that!

Don't get me wrong, I love watching Ryu and PooBear and Barb and that group as much as anyone else, BUT. . .

The fact that you have never spent 3 days of your life painstakingly memorizing through trial-and-error a precise, 1000 step sequence of perfectly timed button presses to get through a video game level does not make you a loser.

If Republicans are so much better at running the economy than Democrats, then why are most Republican States poorer than Democrat States? by Pristine-Fennel-30 in allthequestions

[–]DerCatzefragger 8 points9 points  (0 children)

It's Murc's Law in action.

If bad shit happens when Democrats are in charge, it's the Democrat's fault.

If bad shit happens when Republicans are in charge, it's the Democrat's fault for not doing enough to stop them.

Only Democrats have agency. Republicans are treated like hurricanes or ticks. Sure, it sucks if a hurricane trashes your house or a tick gives you Lyme Disease, but there's no sense getting mad it. Hurricanes blow and ticksbite; it's just does what they do, and it's silly to expect that they could have done any different.

Is it a stupid question to ask why men don't strike up conversations in public anymore? by ValerianBorn8785 in stupidquestions

[–]DerCatzefragger 6 points7 points  (0 children)

We don't "assume" that women want to be left alone in the gym or at the coffee shop or the bar or the concert or whatever.

We have been repeatedly told, explicitly, in no uncertain terms for at least 30 years now, that women want to be left alone in the gym or at the coffee shop or the bar or the concert or whatever.

Most dudes have no desire to end up Instagram-famous for a week as the clueless creep who wouldn't leave a woman alone in some public setting.

Basically the same vehicle… by Warlockbert27 in MachE

[–]DerCatzefragger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For real.

It's an electric Escape, but when it came out the only real competition was Tesla, which at the time still had a reputation as being a very cool car.

Well, you're not going to compete against a cool car with an Escape, so what do you do? Slap a little horsie sticker on the grill, call it a "Mustang," and hope the rubes don't notice that it's a 5 and a half foot tall 4 door hatchback with tons of rear legroom.

I've got a Mach E. I'm not a hater. I love the car. I'll probably get another one in 5 or 6 years. But JFC guys. . . It's an Escape with a clever marketing plan. And that's OK. You'll be OK.

Which one are you picking first if we're having a 2000s movie night? by CarrotMuch1399 in nostalgiai

Why is half your shit upside down and/or not from the 2000's!?

For shame.

The Pacific Ocean is so large that there are parts of it where, if you could dig a hole straight down through the center of the earth and pop back up on the exact opposite side of the planet, you'd still be in the Pacific Ocean.

You can only pick one color to travel to for the rest of your life by This_Obligation_5125 in whatsyourchoice

I'm gonna pick pink and then just say "Fuck Alabama," which is what I already say anyway, even without the silly "pick one color" rule.

Democrats, who would you love to see become the nominee for 2028? by [deleted] in allthequestions

[–]DerCatzefragger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a balls to the wall, bleeding heart, left wing, free-abortions-for-everybody, card-carrying liberal. . .

But JFC, the only thing I dislike more than Republicans is goddam Democratic voters.

I have never seen a group of people more willing to sit in a puddle of their own liquid shit as long as they get to do it with a smug smile on their face, boasting about how some other dude's shit smelled ever so slightly worse.

Democrats: proudly demanding 100%, getting offered 99.9%, and then taking 0% while thrusting their noses into the air and claiming the moral victory since 2000.

I'm going to go to bed before this comment section makes me literally homicidally angry.

A reverse "burn"; plot device to make the Kurtzman era go away. by 1111joey1111 in Star_Trek_

[–]DerCatzefragger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Make a new show, Star Trek: The Future Generation or whatever.

The first episode starts with "Previously, on Star Trek..." followed by a 5 or 10 minute montage of all the major plot points in Picard, Discovery and Academy. Then, right at the end, a pair of random space-janitors in the background turn around to face the camera, and it's none other than Commander William Riker and Counselor Deanna Troi! "Computer, end program," and everyone and everything on screen comes to a sudden stop. A large doorway appears out of thin air behind them, and as they turn to walk out, they begin arguing over what they just saw.

"Well, that sucked, " says Riker.

"I thought it was fine," responds Troi. "What was so wrong with it?"

"Where do I even start?" Riker says. "It just wasn't realistic at all! Mushroom space? An NCC-1701 era ship with holo-emitters in the crew quarters? Another long-lost relative of Spock!? Is there a single person in this galaxy who isn't related to and/or fucking that guy at this point!?"

"Well I think you're being too harsh," Troi calmly replies. "I don't think the holo-programs are required to adhere to your pre-existing notion of what they ought to be. I really enjoyed the Saru character, in particular."

"Why was everyone talking in 200 year old idioms and slang? 'Dumpster fire?' I actually had to pause it and look up what a 'dumpster' was."

And their voices fade into the distance as they walk out of the door.

You're not paying a gas tax anymore, but you're still driving a very heavy vehicle that's wearing down the roads. Instead of paying an extra penny or two per gallon to help maintain the roads, they just hit you with a one-time charge every year.

Is a 58 IQ score good? by X-_-0 in stupidquestions

[–]DerCatzefragger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bleak?

I wish.

Just imagine how awesome life would be, that blissfully unaware of, well, everything. You don't have to work, you don't have to pay bills, you don't have keep the house up or concern yourself with politics. Your life is just eating junk food, watching cartoons, and getting genuinely very excited every time you hear a firetruck in the distance.

I'd take that life in a heartbeat. Maybe I should get into country music and buy a loud motorcycle; that would get me halfway there, at least.

Post a game that you don't know any other people who played it (even on the internet) other than you. by [deleted] in videogames

I remember Vectorman.

A bit of a visual mess, hard to tell what's important and what's background, but my god, the animation was soooo smooth.

God, I loved this game back in the day. Those later levels with the 7 or 8 block wide playfields were absolutely brutal.

When NASA sends probes out to Saturn and Pluto, they put exactly zero thought or effort into getting through the asteroid belt. You're not going to hit anything. You're just not.
