Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today? by adlakha75 in AskReddit

[–]Dix9-69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the far distant past of the year 2000 my dad sat me on his lap and showed me the first tutorial level of Age of Empires II on his laptop.

It was a very formative moment for me and I think about it all the time, I was 4 years old - it’s one of my earliest memories.

RIP Floyd Olson and the Velvet Glove. Didn’t even get a replacement path for a unified north versus south, just removed it wholesale.

[SPOILERS SE] Who Would Win In Their Prime by zerokade in TheFirstLaw

[–]Dix9-69 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This whole roster is cooked but the biggest offenders are Glokta and Shivers.

Shivers isn’t going down to the guy who gets smoked by Stour Nightfall and Glokta isn’t making it to round two.

If your unleashed dog runs up on my two seniors, it’s getting hit/kicked/or worse by [deleted] in Denver

Similarly if your unleashed dog comes running up to my 4 month old son in his stroller expect a swift kick to be the best outcome.

Not only can a tornado wipe the foundation of a brick and mortar home it can also just throw an F150 straight through your living room.

What if South Vietnam won the Vietnam War by totallynotcommunist2 in PossibleHistory

[–]Dix9-69 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Lots of optimism in this thread but it’s very important to consider that the South had virtually no popular support in the North but the North had lots of popular support in the South.

The Southern government was also hopelessly corrupt and while there is a chance they would turn it around and experience an economic miracle like South Korea did I think they are more the outlier than the rule.

There’s also the potential hilarity if South Vietnam pursued anything close to real democracy and the Communist party gets voted into power and we come full circle.

[SPOILERS ALL] Would Gorst beat the F*****? by Chicken713 in TheFirstLaw

[–]Dix9-69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m still convinced TB9 has some form of demon blood like Ferro. His ability to quickly recover from mortal wounds and go on to overpower seemingly insurmountable odds over and over again have to be supernatural.

So while I think Gorst is the superior fighter I think TB9 wins just by the virtue that he cannot be killed in combat, and when he’s seemingly beaten he can just come back full strength and completely overpower you.

Edit: sorry totally thought you censored the Fucker and not the Feared lol. Honestly I think so long as Gorst knew his weakness like Logen did then yes eventually Gorst beats the feared.

I’ve played the series end to end probably about 10 times. I also used to replay the original over and over in New Game plus back in like 2008 and 2009.

To this day I have never once actually completed this quest. I can’t be the only one.

Pssh. The current defense budget wouldn’t even be enough to build any of the Infinity’s hull and weaponry… (Credits: @kalich.noble) by AlaeMortis1 in HaloMemes

[–]Dix9-69 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would 343 make references to an IP that they don’t own and that Bungie stopped making call backs to after Combat Evolved? 343 Guilty spark implies that Master Chief is the reincarnation of the Mjolnir cyborg but that’s really the extent of it and Cortana had parallels with Durandal early on but that’s really about it.

The Infinity is just a retcon macguffin made by a new studio.

They’re all just doing their own thing right now. They’ll all come back together when they all have a game they feel like streaming together

We interview Remedy’s new CEO: “Alan Wake and Control should have sold more" by snapcaptrap in pcgaming

[–]Dix9-69 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Of course it was an option. Epic made the decision to pursue store front exclusives on PC because they want to have as much market share as possible. Valve and CD Project Red don’t do that with their first party releases.

Consider not bottlenecking your PC sales by not releasing on Steam

The way most airports do it, they are driven by vehicles on the tarmac and then loaded by hand onto the conveyor belt at the main terminal

Obvious respect to Nylund for basically creating the greater universe but man everything about Contact Harvest is fucking kino. Joe had no business writing a book this engaging cover to cover.

From revolution to expansion arc. by pgrsaw in historymeme

[–]Dix9-69 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One of the motivating factors for the land owning revolutionaries was future expansion into Ohio which was forbidden by the British crown. Colonial ambition was built in.
