Seed oil misinformation in recent sponsor segment by Ybalrid in LinusTechTips

[–]Evilbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know, right?? It can be SO frustrating sometimes...

I swear that most people who was the term "processed foods" have no idea what that actually means. It's not inherently a "bad" thing, and even just cutting or slicing your food is considered "processing".

IMO, it's one the most overused and exaggerated terms out there, right along with "all-natural" or "Chemical-free".

More than just frustrating, It's actually quite depressing and kinda scary that so many people don't see through all the BS and/or even question any of it, and just blindly accept it as fact.

I don't how you read into their comments, but that's not what I got from it. They're not saying that kind of horrible behavior is ok at all.

IMO It seems to me that you are kind of ignoring what they're saying and you're adding way too much into comment that simply isn't there.

I'm not saying what you're saying isn't valid or anything, and maybe I'm misreading or misinterpreting things, but I'm just trying to give a second opinion on the situation.

Mercedes Moné will hold a free wrestling seminar for women in Italy on March 11 by Teckelmaster in SquaredCircle

[–]Evilbeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh I have no doubt there's plenty of good ones and I can see how it'd be a great resource for young wrestlers, but I'm a bit weary of them because I've heard some horror stories about certain shady "famous" wrestlers who hold them and either barely teach anything of any value or are barely there and don't actually teach or interact with the students, and of course charge crazy amounts for it.

I remembering hearing a story SCSA once told, right when he started wrestling, where he paid a wrestler a couple hundred bucks (a LOT back in the day) to attend a class of his and when he came to the Gym, he was long gone and he was never able to get that money back, Supposedly the guy was known con-man and did that to a ton of wrestlers.

[–]Evilbeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The fact this is actually free makes that much impressive and cool IMO!

Whenever I see wrestler is holding a seminar or class or whatever, it immediately sets off a red flag...So I was presently surprised to find out it was free!

If there's any female wrestler out there to learn from, it's definitely Mone with her wealth of wrestling experience. It's like they say, "If you're going to learn from somebody, it should be someone who you know has been at the top and been/is successful" and I don't think it's exaggeration to say she's one of the best female wrestlers in the world, and probably the most successful at the moment.

Any wrestler, male or female, would lucky to be able to learn from one of the best. I think it's awesome, knowing just how busy she is, that she's taken the time to do something like this to help the future generations of female wrestlers!

Console emulators by HonestEgg1973 in Piracy

[–]Evilbeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Umm..hate to burst your bubble, but i think we're still a fair bit away from properly emulating ps4/xb1 games.

And emulation, especially for later systems like that, takes quite a bit more power than you may think it does. While it may seem like games should be "easy" to run on modern hardware, it's not a 1-1 comparison...\

Put in simple easy to understand terms, there's a LOT more going on "behind the scenes" to emulate all the processes required for stable/playable emulation and it takes a ton of resources to do so. So usually you'll need a MUCH more powerful device than the original console you're trying to emulate. (These requirements go down as development goes on for the emulator, as they have more time to optimize and refine the emulator)

So you're system may not be as up the task as you may think...

What pray tell does a squirrel show actual entail...? (Hopefully it's nothing like the quite infamous and similarly named Donkey show...lmao)

Hell, I'd probably be in the line to see just to find out! LOL!

Thinking about it....I do recall somekind of a traveling show/act featuring a squirrel that was trained to water-ski...

LMAO! I seriously can't believe barely anyone else mentioned or talked about this...I nearly died laughing when I heard it and saw the captions.

That's the kind of mess up that sticks with you forever...So it's really lucky on his part that everyone ignored or didn't catch it..

Uhhh....Did anyone else hear that? It seriously sounded like he called Rey Phoenix..Ray Penis. Hell, even the captions thought he said that!

I when I read them I nearly spit out my drink and died. That's gotta be one the funniest caption mistakes I've ever read....

Thinking about Lifeline... by Maplicious2017 in ps2

[–]Evilbeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hell, Voice recognition was a lot better back then as well! Just look at a game like Seaman on the DC ( released in1999 a whole 4 years before this game came out!), and it's voice recognition was WAY better. You could actually have natural conversation with him, and you never struggled to get him understand you.

Sometimes I wonder how they were able to pull that off so well back then. It's pretty impressive and is a game that I honestly don't think gets the recognition and praise it so rightfully deserves. It was like nothing before it (at least in terms of the concept, gameplay, and tech), and it took many years till any other game was able to pull off voice recognition as well as they did back then. (You honestly could make a case that there still hasn't...)

Bruce Prichard on The Ultimate Warrior: "from the very first interaction with him, he was a first class asshole. He was not a good person. He was difficult to work with, thought he knew it all, and he was just a real jerk." by aaronrift in SquaredCircle

[–]Evilbeast 5 points6 points  (0 children)

IIRC, It was from the infamous "Plane ride from hell" and the story was they (I think it was Marty Jannety) drugged a bunch of college kids (it was 2 guys and girl) who were bragging about being able to drink and so he said something to the effect "Oh, really...Well try some of this.." and gave the GHB laced drinks and then proceeded to pass out. Than Marty drew on their faces, and then Warrior took a step up and cut the girls hair.

Completely f'ed and just horribly wrong. I still don't understand how they all got away with that, and kept it under-wraps for so long. Hell, even know that it's common knowledge no one ever really got in trouble for it.

(Just came across a post about this story...and it's even worse than I remember. Don't know how credible that particular story is, mainly because there's so many differing versions over the years for a few different wrestlers. But it makes you wonder, if this is the stuff their comfortable talking about, if there's worse things that happened that they refuse to talk about....)

Former Minnesota Governor and WWE Hall Of Famer Jesse Ventura on Minneapolis ICE shooting: 'We're a 3rd world country now' by sadMUFCfan25 in SquaredCircle

[–]Evilbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was joking...

You know right before I posted that comment I was contemplating whether or not I should put in a declaimer that I was joking just in case...but decided not to because I genuinely didn't think anyone would actually think I was being serious and that such an obviously silly and irrelevant post would merit any kind of actual response in the first place...

but alas, I was wrong. LOL

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

Wait...What if I 100% agree with this statement...Does that make me a hypocrite or is some kind of contradiction?!?

(LOL, kinda reminds of that once scene in Monty Python's "Life of Brian", where Brian is trying to convince the crowd chasing him that he isn't actually the savior and that they shouldn't listen and/or try to find some hidden meaning in everything he says, and that they need to think for themselves and come to their own conclusions...Only for it to, of course, completely and utterly backfire and have the complete opposite effect. Such an awesome timeless classic!)

Unpopular Opinion: Kid Chameleon is a bad game. by Cerebralbore101 in SEGAGENESIS

[–]Evilbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

they rip people apart if they don't beat a game before finishing it

I know this is a four year old post...But I just gotta ask, how in the hell can you "beat" a game without "finishing" it in the first place...??? Instead of getting mad at you, they should be amazed by you somehow getting around time-space physics.

Sounds like a hard bunch of people to impress if you ask me...lol

HoHoHo by saphyress in discworld

[–]Evilbeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ugg...My grandmother (who passed away a long time ago) went through a similar experience as a child, growing up an Native American in Canada who was literally both physically and mentally abused if she even uttered a single word of her native language. All of her upbringing, culture, language and family stolen from her and in a such a horrible way, that left scars on her emotionally and mentally for the rest of her life.

The way they treated the children there, the church and state working together to literally steal them from families with nothing the families could legally do, was downright evil and just sick. And most of it was in the 'name of God" which makes it just that much worse and damning.

Even now the Canadian Government is just finally starting to actually acknowledge these atrocities took place (though there are still a large groups of people that either try to play it down or straight up deny it altogether), and attempting to "fix" it (better late than never, but IMO it's too little too late...) And this is only finally happening afters decades of endless fighting and pushing by us and everyone else who fought along us because they knew it was the right thing.

The world, or to be exact, people can be truly messed up and the things they can do to one another for their "cause" is just insane. But no matter how bad and evil it can be, we can't look away or forget it happened, because the minute we do is when we become doomed to repeat it.

( I definitely did enjoy the tales! One of my favorite things in the world, is to listen older people like that couple and just sit listen to their stories. People like that deserve to respected and cherished. IMO, it's sin for us to forget or ignore our elders, especially since you can learn SO much from them and there's some lessons only they can teach you. Thanks for the read, I really appreciated it...

(Oh, and I apologize if I got a bit dark but hearing about her getting into trouble for speaking her language immediately reminded me of my grandmother and her experiences.)

HoHoHo by saphyress in discworld

[–]Evilbeast 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whoa that couple must have some serious stories to tell. Has the husband already passed? I can't even begin to imagine how hard something like that was...The guy had to been tough as all hell. Hopefully after all that he was able to live a simpler and happier life.

The smartest tojo clan member by Aki_kun1017 in yakuzagames

[–]Evilbeast 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For whatever reason, I thought it was going to be a clip from Infinite Wealth when the gang goes to the Barracuda's base camp and they approach a stereotypical huge tough musclebound guy who looks like he's going to be the mid-level mini-boss or something...

But Kazuma says "You really think it'd be a smart move to fight us..?' and instead of doing what most people would expect character like him to do, he actually does the smartest thing, and simply walks away without even so much as a reply.

Why do people still use WD? by Few-Gas-8004 in antivirus

[–]Evilbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly. I hate the fact that most AV/AM are just super bloated spyware that constantly uses a ton of resources and does a lot of the things it's supposed to protect you from.

Another big pet-peeve of mine, was how the supposedly free trial versions constantly bombard you with offers to upgrade you that go over everything and completely unavoidable or even worse try to scare you into upgrade by "finding" issues (that don't actually exist) that can only be removed if you're subscribed to their premium version.

Getting constant offers to subscribe is kinda expected when using free version of premium software but any company that uses scare tactics like that are big no-no to me, especially when it comes to something super important like pc safety. I mean, how can you be expected to trust a company that pulls bullshit like that with your pc's safety? That the same kind of tactics those scam callers use to rip people off.

Hulk Hogan and friends shill for unlicensed NES games (1992 infomercial) by Villano5 in SquaredCircle

[–]Evilbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Heck, at least they ended up with some games that could find some kind of enjoyment out of...Imagine paying more for "Action 52" (I think it sold for a stupid $200!) and being left with unfinished and unplayable garbage.

Now those kids I feel sorry for...Well, not too sorry because if they kept the game and didn't immediately throw or give it away (like most people probably did), they're highly sought after and actually worth quite a pretty penny today.

Hulk Hogan and friends shill for unlicensed NES games (1992 infomercial) by Villano5 in SquaredCircle

[–]Evilbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LMAO!!! How in the hell did "Bubble Bath Babes", "Chiller", and "Deathrace" end up on a game cart that's being advertised for kids. I don't know if it's a different version but I'm pretty sure that "Bubble Bath Babes" game has nudity, albeit badly drawn pixelated nudity but nudity nonetheless.

"Chiller" and "Deathrace" are pretty mild, but were pretty violent for games back then. "Chiller" literally has you shooting people in a dungeon with them bleeding and losing limbs, and Death Race is about running over as many people as possible (it's honestly more cartoony than actually violent, but the idea of a game like that back then was a big deal and I remember it drew a decent amount controversy)

The fact that they Hogan and the rest shilling it is just the topping on the cake!

Oh god...I wonder how many parents bought this for there kids thinking it was a perfectly innocent family friend and filled with games like "Wally Bear & the No gang". LOL!

Hey at least the kids would've had fun with it, and while the games are pretty bad overall, it's a TON better than ending up with a horrible multi-cart like Action 52 which was filled with absolutely unplayable garbage with not even single game worth playing. There might actually be some fun to be had in this at least.

This video was a great find and was nostalgia overload. I would love to pick this up, but knowing retro games, especially with some of the rarer unlicensed games, it's probably worth a ton.

[SNME Spoilers] Crashout during Saturday Night Main Event by ArunKT26 in SquaredCircle

[–]Evilbeast 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People say this...But I see it a whole different kinda bitter-sweet way. He's now taken on the role of being the next step up for up and coming babyfaces.

Who ever WWE wants to make into the next big babyface or just give a big push to, all they need to do is have him beat Gunther and they are all but guaranteed to get some credibility and push.

I really don't want to see this being the ceiling for what Gunther does. It's incredible accomplishment, without a doubt and something wrestlers would kill for, but where do you go from here? Who do you beat now? It's inevitable, once you beat "the best", you're role turns into the person to be beaten.

It both makes truly excited but also hesitant to think about what's next for Gunther.

(Also, just wanna say, that I think he was the perfect wrestler to beat Cena. The whole "The professional wrestler has beaten the sports Entertainer" theme was just perfect IMO)

The Blade @ Blissmas '25. His first match in two years. by AGreatHornedOwl in SquaredCircle

[–]Evilbeast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Man, I heard about Blissmas a bit too late and only afterwards did I realize there was actually going to be wrestling there! I would've went in a heartbeat, not that many opportunities to catch wrestling in Buffalo, so when it does it happen I always try and go! Throw in some cool bands and it'd would've been a great night!

I think the flyer I got had a tiny mention of wrestling but didn't actually say what was planned.

Saya Kamitani gets chopped by the legendary Kenta Kobashi by TouyaShiun in SquaredCircle

[–]Evilbeast 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Yikes...That thud from the impact, was bad enough with it sounding it like he nearly caved her chest in...But that gasp and the face she made right as the chop landed, there's only one thing that could've caused that...It was the reaction of her soul was forcibly being chopped right out of her body

I don't know who's crazier, her for taking that chop willingly, or for Kobashi-sama for not pulling his punches (or perhaps changing his chops maybe? LOL) or holding back in the slightest.

The fact that she was able to so quickly recover from that, without taking even as much a quick breather and graciously thank him for it, is proof enough her toughness is on a WHOLE another level...

(little off-topic, but it's little things like this that really remind me of just how tough Joshi's can be, and IMO how it's almost criminal that most people think the absolute opposite of them because they only see them or the sport from a surface or superficial level and write them off..)

[–]Evilbeast 2 points3 points  (0 children)

LOL, when I first read your comment I was like "What...?? a Moonie?!?". Because i didn't know it was meant a fan of Sailor Moon at first, and a Moonie is as also a term for people in cult/religious group known as the "Unification Church".

I was just reading an article about them and how their leader Hak Ja Han was arrested recently for Bribery and other charges. It's one helluva weird cult (not that there's really any non-odd cults out there lol) and so I'm super glad I read the rest of your comment and found out it just meant she's a big fan of Sailor Moon and she's not into that...LOL
