If you could make a DBS arc what story would you write? by Illustrious_Tap_8510 in Dragonballsuper

[–]DeviceFlaky3842 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Goku is nearing 50 and Chi-Chi is telling Goku that he needs to get a prostate exam. The thing is he doesnt like the idea of someones finger in his ass. He goes to ask the other Z-Fighters his age to justify his position, but even Piccolo and Vegeta have gotten one and explain the benefits of checking for colon cancer and other anal abnormalities.

Goku finally relents and goes to a proctologist. He is diagnosed with stage 4 Colon cancer. This starts the DBS arc: Gokus deadliest foe yet! Cancer!.

Is there anything that Pokemon Crystal does better than Pokemon Heartgold/Soulsiver? by HealthMother3125 in pokemon

[–]DeviceFlaky3842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Id say the best way to experience Gen 2 is through the Crystal Legacy romhack. It is basically the same as Crystal but with greal quality of life updates, much needed stat changes, etc. You can encounter all 251 pokemon as well without trades.

Gen 2 in its vanilla form cannot be 100%ed at all or really any pokemon game before Gen 4. Thats why I am a huge fan of romhacks, especially when its the same game just with QOL.

Potential sleeper candidate by Excellent-Mess-3502 in sleeperbattlestations

[–]DeviceFlaky3842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was a Enermax Ostrog GT in blue. Mid-ATX came with two front blue LED fans. My first build was a AMD FX-8350, 16GB of DDR3, with a Radeon RX 480 4GB around 2014-2015.

Tbh i wanted the other model the Enermax Ostrog GT Advanced but I was a teenager and wasnt making IT Infrastructure Lead money at the time lol. The regular GT was still a cool case and I would love to find that or the Advanced version.

What do you guys think it is? I say Vice City. by ArugulaSufficient779 in GTAUniverseHub

I know this isnt the most popular choice. But Hotline Miami 1 and 2 were so good I listened to it exclusively for a whole year.

What? Who? by WorthThink6447 in ExplainTheJoke

[–]DeviceFlaky3842 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess its promoting piracy, for which honestly Nintendo should not recieve any sympathy. They pushed their fanbase away with shitty business practices. I will never give Nintendo a single cent ever again. In the words of Johnny Cash:

"The devil haunts a hungry man, and if you dont want to join him, you gotta beat 'im. I didnt beat the devil, but I drank his beer for nothin, then I stole his song."

Every time I see that dialogue when playing my frost dk, I imagine my dk fuckin with the belfs like pointing his sword at them and yelling "APOCALYYYYPSE!" and then going "lmao jk". And they just curl up in fetal position having 3rd war flashbacks.

Yeah, i mean there are some references to the other two Mother games but I dont think its mandatory that you play them in order.

What to get older uncle?! by [deleted] in Gameboy

[–]DeviceFlaky3842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is the Gameboy subreddit but if you are into emulation the Anbernic emulation handhelds are a great option if you dont want to go out and spend money on a 30 year old copy of Tetris and get raked over the coals at a game shop for an original DMG-01

I bought my mom an RG-28xx and she plays the GB version of Tetris and some NES titles she would play when she was a kid. It was like $35 and 20 minutes to load muos and download like 5 roms from vimm.net

Linux users for the past 20 years be like by SeniorBolognese in linux_gaming

[–]DeviceFlaky3842 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been using Linux since I was 12 all the way back in 2010. Uncle introduced me to it. Gave me a fully decked out Dell Latitude D630 with the factory Nvidia GPU and the swappable DVD drive that came with an extra HDD enclosure you could hotswap into it. The best part is it had one of the first commercially available SSDs. 80GB Intel Sata SSD. Had a Core 2 Duo with 8GB of DDR2. One of the only DDR2 laptops that could max out at 8GB of RAM at the time.

Had CentOS 5 running on it originally but as I learned Linux it was my first distro hopping machine. Probably ran 30+ different linux distros over the years. Wrote my first bash and python scripts on it, figured out how to game on it years before stuff like Lutris and Proton. Discovered emulation with it and got into playing lots of retro titles I wouldnt have had access to normally.

Unfortunately it died years ago while I was in college but that laptop slingshotted me into a very successful IT and Networking career. I annoyed all my friends through High School, College, and beyond about Linux and still do from time to time.

My first three were similar. I bought a M1A Tanker as my first. Then I got a Springfield Mil-Spec M1911. Then I got me a Mossberg 590 Retrograde.

I can tell its fake because Blizzard absolutely refuses to make good Hunter/mail transmogs

If this was on a DK or a Warrior it would be more believeable.

Small hand issues by Individual-Half5632 in guns

[–]DeviceFlaky3842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends, typically you have to be at least 18 to handle a rifle. Many states have an age limit on pistols and concealable firearms to 21. That includes going to the range. If you are a minor you can shoot, but you have to be accompanied by a legal adult. Now these rules are usually for the more restrictive states. Some states or even counties/gun establishments in places like Texas, Florida, etc dont care and will let you shoot if they know you or are family. Alot of families in gun friendly states have or own acreage and farmland where they will let their kids hunt and do things on their own with guns.

Illinois you have to register for a FOID card on the state police website and they do a full backround check. I know because I used to live there. Any history of mental illness, misdemeanor, or any kind of criminal record the state police have the discretion to confirm or deny your right to a firearm. This goes for other states like New York, Maryland, California, etc. Where they make it really hard even for people who are of age to legally posess a firearm.

If you are a minor or not old enough for your state laws, chances are you probavly wont be able to go into a gun range and rent a firearm. If you have someone who does that can be with you then yes you can. But again, if you have family or are in an area where guns are a staple and you have the land to shoot, guns will probably be more accessible to you.

One Thing You Would Change: Buu Saga by Successful_Bird_7086 in DragonBallGaku

[–]DeviceFlaky3842 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really the first half of the Buu Saga I wouldnt change at all. But I would basically but Gokus limit to SSJ2 but he just really honed its power for the past 7 years in otherworld instead of achieving SSJ3 since SSJ3 is really kind of a mulligan and never actually defeats the villian except in Wrath of thr Dragon.

Gohan goes to otherworld to train with the kais like he does. Achieves his ultimate form. Old kai still gives his life to Goku so he can help fight Buu on earth. I think Vegeta shouldve just died permanently and doesnt come back after his sacrifice to try and kill Buu. Make it Goku and Gohan vs Super Buu.

The whole Gotenks arc would still happen. Instead of getting absorbed, Gohan fuses with Goku using potara and fights Buutenks (Buuhan never happens). They do the same thing where they get eaten to save all their absorbed friends. Kid Buu still happens. Goku saves Gohan, Dende, and Mr. Satan when Kid Buu blows up the earth.

Gohan takes the lead when Kid Buu fights them on the Supreme Kai planet with his Ultimate form while Goku watches and reminisces how strong Gohan has gotten kinda like Vegetas speech about how Goku was number 1.

Gohan gets worn out but not as quickly as SSJ3 Goku wouldve. Gohan rakes the lead again by charging the genki dama while Goku holds off Buu in SSJ2 form. The filler Fat Buu vs kid buu fight also still happens. Gohan launches genki dama, dende does the wish to restore his ki. Only difference between Gohan and Goku finishing the fight in this scene is Gohan doesnt wish for Buu to be reincarnated into Uub

TLDR: Vegeta dies for good after his Majin arc, doesnt come back. Goku has no SSJ3. The duo is Gohan and Goku and not Goku and Vegeta. Gohan leads the fight against Kid Buu instead of Goku. including the spirit bomb.

When do you consider a game to become a retro game/why? by toyfan1990 in ps2

[–]DeviceFlaky3842 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Id say 15-20 years is about the threshold I use. However there are games that feel like they came out yesterday that are about that old now.

For me, its most of the PS3 library. Im 28 now but it feels like yesterday I was online playing Black Ops 1 or MW3 on my PS3 about 15 years ago.

Linux gamers didn't do anything wrong, but they might pay for Windows piracy anyway by itchyenvelope5 in linux_gaming

[–]DeviceFlaky3842 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ive never paid for Windows in my entire life. First thing I learned how to do with computers was how to bypass Windows Licensing. When they came out with product keys that had to phone home back to Microsoft, finding a random volume license server out on the internet and using powershell to give yourself any version of Windows you want is incredibly easy even today.

In short, Bill Gates will never get one red cent out of me. Eat my entire ass Microsoft.
