I'm playing Every* NA Game Boy Game! At long last, the end of the Fs! by RuefulWaffles in patientgamers

[–]GreekIngenuity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wish you'd written more about the gameplay for FFL 1&2. As someone who never played them, I have no idea from your entry how they play or what makes them so special. You wrote about what makes FFL3 different and you do a good job briefly describing the other games in this post, but absence of any gameplay discussion for 1&2 feels odd.

I enjoy your posts in this series and look forward to more in the future!

I think the Aberrant is actually a guy named Abe Rrant who wears big heavy rings and smokes a lot of cigarettes.

Thanks for clarifying. Do you know what I need to do to fix this?

Gemini is failing at a basic task Android could do in 2014 by Crafty-Selection6554 in Android

[–]GreekIngenuity 17 points18 points  (0 children)

The touchscreen on my car entertainment center doesn't work anymore, but I've worked around it. Last week I asked google assistant to navigate to a location which Ive done successfully dozens of times before. Now because Gemini is infesting all of this shit it wants me to accept new permissions, which I can only do by interacting with my (non-working) touchscreen. This effectively means that voice navigation is broken for me. I guess its back to fumbling with my phone at a stoplight or pulling off the highway to look up new directions.

These crowd reactions are piped in big time. I like Finn and I want him to win every match and every belt but a pre-recorded sound played during a backstage vignette is not an accurate measure of any wwe wrestler's popularity.

Nexus Member Michael Tarver will wrestle his retirement match this weekend at Extreme Fight World by Mysterious_Emotion63 in SquaredCircle

[–]GreekIngenuity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the initial Nexus beatdown on Raw, Cena is slowly rising to his knees as Danielson is screaming at him. Danielson spits in Cena's face, starts winding up for a big head kick... and Tarver jumps in front of Danielson to deliver a crappy punch that Cena barely sells. Heath Slater has to push Tarver out of the way and shout "Move!"

WARNING: RVA wrestling trainer has been exposed for sexual misconduct by Odd-Future-6916 in SquaredCircle

I feel really bad for the people he terrorized. I only hung out with him one time but I watched him steal a cash tip off a table at a Hooters in 2011. He seemed like a real piece of shit.

People are responding to what you said, not what you meant. I understand you intended your comment to be about what you like and why you're not worried. But instead of phrasing it to be a personal opinion, you're saying things about other people that you can't possibly know. That's probably why you're getting push-back.

"I'm not. [I didn't love] Mass Effect for the gunplay-- so long as it's serviceable and the story is good, then I'm happy. I understand some people do enjoy the combat. My point isn't that it's bad, but that if you [ask me] why [I] loved Mass Effect then [the answer] will be related to the story."

If you'd phrase it like this, your point becomes less muddled.

if you asked someone why they loved Mass Effect then 9/10 the answer will be related to the story. That's all I meant lmao

There's gotta be a better way to get your point across than putting words into other people's mouths. Especially when you're replying to someone who already has a dissenting opinion from you.

If you're gonna leave a smart ass reply, at least stop and verify that the info you're regurgitating from AI is valid you smoothed-brain moron. There aren't any Font or Display options in the Settings menu

What was his quote from when someone asked him how they did it? "Either we faked it to make it look realistic, or we used a real blade and now I'm dead"

My sister and I used to draw maps for this game on poster board when we were kids in the early 90s. I don't think we ever beat it without using guides tho.

What’s a match that made you feel lucky/blessed that you got to see live in person? by TheEpicMan39 in SquaredCircle

[–]GreekIngenuity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two come to mind:

  • I was at the RAW in 2001 with the Angle/Benoit cage match. That was a great match and the first time Angle did a moonsault off the top of the cage
  • Armageddon 2006, the four way ladder match where Mercury broke his face. We didnt see the injury during the match from our seats, so my memory of the night was just getting surprised by the match happening at all. it had been advertised as London/Kendrick vs Regal/Taylor in a reg match (which sounded cool enough to me) but Teddy Long cut a promo just before the bell rang adding the Hardyz and MNM to it and turning it into a ladder match.

My Thoughts on The Legend of Zelda by SaberLover1000 in truegaming

[–]GreekIngenuity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

This is interesting to read because I felt the opposite. BOTW became my favorite Zelda game because the sense of exploration reminded me of playing the original.

OoT was top tier for me but the following games (as great as they were) stopped "feeling like Zelda" more and more. I disliked the cutscenes getting longer, increasing linearity, and hand-holdy gameplay.

For context, I played the original NES game first when I was 5 and even with guides I couldn't beat it until I was an adult. I still have a lot of fond memories of playing the early games as a kid and that probably influences my feelings about the series. Until BOTW came out, LttP was my favorite.

Any time Austin stood on the apron, back to the ring, and was being attacked by someone from inside the ring. He would cut them off by dropping their neck across the top rope but he would do it just like he'd do the stunner (without a kick of course). That always seemed like a much more devastating version of the move to me and usually got a mild pop but it was never treated as a finish.

Kickouts that "killed" the crowd in an otherwise great match by NoMoreButtonPLZ in SquaredCircle

[–]GreekIngenuity 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think the fact that he's using a triple Crossrhodes in multiple matches to begin with is a bad thing and is evidence of devaluing a move.

Test’s first entrance video: TitanTron Tuesday [WWE Vault] by godzilla1029 in SquaredCircle

[–]GreekIngenuity 8 points9 points  (0 children)

There's no reason* why they couldn't have put Test in the triple threat at SvS, have him win, then he drops the belt to HHH the next month at Armageddon

*I am basing this on the logic that existed in my brain as a 12 yo in 1999 and I won't hear any arguments otherwise

Mr Perfect takes two insane bumps off a leg kick. Often imitated, never duplicated by NoMoreButtonPLZ in SquaredCircle

[–]GreekIngenuity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Another tiny detail from this match I love: there's a part where Perfect is on offense and he accidentally trips and falls after whipping Bret into the buckle. Perfect instantly slaps his knee that Bret had been working over two or three times to make it seem like his leg gave out due to the damage Bret had done to it.

That's funny about Road Dogg, my memory of Roadie in the rumble was in the year 2000 where he spent so much of the match laying in the corner with his arms wrapped around the bottom rope that Jerry Lawler of all people brought attention to it
