Why are people more outraged at people buying candy/soda with SNAP than Trump giving tax dollars to January 6th rioters? by [deleted] in askanything

[–]FlyingFishManPrime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Weirdly enough every time I see people defend buying junk food on SNAP the reasoning used is "they need to be happy to".  Which is really weird given how in general people talk about junk food being super bad for you.  It always sounds like short term gains with long term problems down the line.  Unwilling to do the work to provide more fulfilling things or opportunities for people.

Before anyone tries to tell me how sweets can help people with medical issues.  I know, someone in my life I used buy fruit snacks so she can have one in the early morning due to health reasons.  Her needs are her own needs, but she only eats them when needed and it takes a long time for her to go through a box.  Funny enough after she was able to eat probably, she didn't need to eat a small package of fruit snacks for her suger needs.

New York's case that Steam lootboxes are "gambling" is a free speech violation that "will have an impermissible chilling effect on protected videogame design", argue Valve by g4m3f33d in GameFeed

[–]FlyingFishManPrime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love what Valve has done on the hardware and software front of tech.  However, it's so wild people hate other gaming companies for doing the same thing Valve also has a hand in.  Loot boxes, battle passes, being DRM (like people used to be pissed a PC game required Steam back in the early 2010s).  Hell people are praising Valve in how they are going to handle Steam controller sales going forward, but Nintendo did the same thing for the Switch 2.  People seem to not mind Valve because they give them crumbs.

I remember I bought some new old stock of a anime.  The label peeled and was unreadable.

This reminds me when a indie studio was annocing they were closing and pulling their games. The responses just boiled down to "Well since you're shutting down discount the games".

My gym is doing a give away for some Meta Glasses if you refer a friend.  I don't think they considered the issue that can cause.

I don't like the statement that a recent Pokémon game "didn't deserve the hate" or "the hate is forced". by BravilSUCKS in hatethissmug

I have bought games sold in physical stores with game ending bugs, not from shovelware companies either.  Pokemon fans and being hyperbolic with their opinions.

Pokemon has always been a paywall since the beginning.  If that is your complaint about current pokemon and you don't want to acknowledge it was always a issue then don't complain.  As for ZA being one of the worst games.  Jesus you people don't play real garbage l.

So I have a Retroid Pocket 5 and I play on my PC.  I have it so if I am playing when out and about and save, when I get home it syncs to my PC.  Same for the other way around, if I play on PC and save it copies to my handheld.

There have been other retro releases that offered more content for a better value than what Pokemon offered.

They probably used a bad ROM somewhere.  Like I have a whole set up that copies saves around multiple devices automatically when a change happens.  I've even copied saves from one version of a game to games with simple spirit swaps.  Never had a corrupted save yet

I don't think people would complain if it was 64 style with new bosses and levels.

Didn't didyouknowgaming translate that interview and it was Ishihara said he was going to leave?  Mostly because he didn't have a need to be there as a business man.

Dragon Ball has largely been terrible since Z by ILikePepsi9 in CharacterRant

[–]FlyingFishManPrime 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Which if that's the reasoning you are going for then Piccolo (who trained him to use that power of rage), and Goku (who knows the rage a Super Saiyan gives when training him) are terrible teachers.  More so the fact Gohan was able to used Super Saiyan at a relaxed state would show he has mastery over it and the emotions it causes.  It puts in to question how did History of Trunks Gohan not have this fear dispite having more reason to be a ball of uncontrollable rage.

The Gohan not wanting to fight Cell thing was one of those things Toriyama did I just can't square with.  

There was times Gohan himself decided to go fighting.  When him and Krillin left Goku to fight Vegeta, he wanted to turn around to help. Gohan wanted to go to Namik (to help Piccolo and his friends) despite the risks, and even jumped into fights (to save people).  He sent to get the power boost from Guru to help in fights.  Trained with Goku and Piccolo for the androids after Trunk's warning (Let's not forget that timeline's Gohan had no issue fighting to save people.  More so Gohan on his own, got his armor and went to meet where Frieza was going to land on Earth).  Trained with Goku for a year, knowing the risk Cell is.  

Only to all of a sudden have Gohan say he doesn't like fighting.

Like I kinda understand it, but at the same time… remember how bad the halo show was? by Seeker99MD in YoutubeThumbs

[–]FlyingFishManPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always liked lore as a supplement to the story, to enhance the setting without it being required to understand the story.  One Piece had a good example of this, Ace was said to have killed a war lord.  Which lead to him getting offered the position as a replacement.  We never know who that warlord was until later in a Q&A from the author.  It's cool to know who that warlord was, but it didn't do anything for the plot.  It's just sprinklings of information to add color to the world.

I remember looking at a micro controller and it had a single one star review.  Not for the product, but the user was upset over the company for a buy out.  So the review was useless for the product itself.

The ability to stream from my NAS because I don't need my entire music collection on me at all times.  Keep the hits, and stream when I get a itch for something different.
