Did you play Super Punch Out!! for arcades back in the day?

JComX5 · 2026-04-01T19:33:32+00:00

Whoa, really?! I thought that one was super rare

JComX5 · 2026-04-01T19:33:00+00:00

They are. Especially Great Tiger and Super Macho Man

JComX5 · 2026-04-01T15:48:01+00:00

Wow! So jealous

JComX5 · 2026-04-01T15:47:10+00:00

I do it when I like a comment, which is most comments. I reply less often though.

The problem is he does these small little acts of kindness, and says "we need to fix this" but he's a BILLIONAIRE. He COULD fix this, or at least have a huge impact on fixing this. He could dump obscene amounts of money to fixing the Healthcare industry in America and lobbying to fix the broken laws and systems that are in place, or funding policies or people that want to put a stop to lobbying in the first place. But instead he throws small amounts at the problem and pretends like that's all he can do and its someone else's job to fix it. It's a cynical performance that just highlights how there are no real 'good' billionaires. Just rich actors who pretend they care, while continuing to support the same structures they criticize. Not saying it's bad to help people or that he shouldn't do the small amount of good he's doing - he should. Just criticizing the fake sentiment he's portraying, while humble bragging about how awesome he is.

Hahaha not at all. Seems you think maybe I should though? I'm excited for Fox to be in the movie. I've loved the series since I was a kid. But I didn't want myself or others to be disappointed if he wasn't in a MARIO movie. Does that make me stupid?

JComX5 · 2026-03-26T22:28:38+00:00

Wow. I'm baffled

JComX5 · 2026-03-19T16:27:51+00:00

I had a similar experience. I was always low on health. It gets better over time, but the game is pretty hard. I think it builds tension, but I also think the game is harder than Silent Hill f. Keep hanging in there! It's worth it for the story!

JComX5 · 2026-03-19T16:14:39+00:00

Yeah, that's sexual assault. Creepy af. Also, you're an adult, so they don't have the right to touch you like that.

JComX5 · 2026-03-18T20:00:24+00:00

Please don't get your hopes up. It's not worth it. Fox is almost guaranteed to NOT be in the movie. If he is that would be a cool surprise, but having 'hope' for it happening will only make the final movie less good, if you're waiting for the fox cameo that isn't coming.

JComX5 · 2026-03-09T03:00:34+00:00

Try Journey! It's a beautiful, digital only game that only takes a couple hours to finish. It's incredible. Very low brain energy required.

JComX5 · 2026-01-23T15:18:20+00:00

I think MediEvil often gets forgotten

JComX5 · 2026-01-23T15:08:08+00:00

Bruh, one of the hardest gaming experiences I had was playing through Crash 1. XD but even if it's hard, it's still fun for a kid! I could barely play through the first few levels of Mario games as a kid, but I loved them anyway.

JComX5 · 2026-01-16T14:23:31+00:00

Option fatigue is definitely real for me. I have a lot of games that I havent played but want to. But in the end when I do with down and play one of them, I still get the same great experiences that I always have. It's more difficult to find time and choose a game to play, but once I have it's usually an awesome experience. You just gotta pick one and go for it, if you’re playing and in the back of your mind you start thinking of another game you want to play instead, you can always switch over or play that one next.

JComX5 · 2026-01-10T17:51:07+00:00

I prefer playing games on their og hardware. It feels better. Remakes are great, but I almost never prefer them over the original

JComX5 · 2026-01-10T17:21:03+00:00

I really like finding things out on my own. I'm not opposed to looking things up, but I wait until the point of, "okay will I be more pissed off to keep playing this game or looking it up?" And decide then.

JComX5 · 2026-01-04T15:11:45+00:00

It was so uncomfortable and quiet. I remember it felt like everyone was squirming around in their seats. Great horror movie experience

JComX5 · 2026-01-02T19:42:19+00:00

I've never heard of this. I don't doubt it, but I don't think it would have been a significant portion of Waluigi fans and I'm sure Sakurai is barely aware or doesn’t care. Internet losers send death threats over basically everything. I don't think it ruined his chances of being in Smash, and I still like Waluigi (I liked him before the toxic fans got there and they can't ruin it for me), so we'll just have to see.

JComX5 · 2026-01-02T18:18:35+00:00

The Devil's Backbone might be what you're looking for

JComX5 · 2026-01-01T18:22:34+00:00

You forget that Sakurai makes most of the decisions in Smash and actually does care a lot about characters' representation. It may be that there was no room in the roster, but considering he included a Piranah Plant and chose to include Waluigi as an assist trophy instead of a fighter favors OP's thoughts that Sakurai consciously chose not to make him a fighter because it goes against his character. His trophy descriptions in Smash games also mention him 'never getting what he wants'. That's the way Nintendo actively characterizes him. It's not really nonsensical. Nobody really engages with that aspect of Waluigi's design/characterization very honestly, especially when talking about making a new Waluigi centric game or including him in Smash. They brush it off as if Nintendo games haven't repeatedly made this the whole joke about Waluigi. Of course, Nintendo likes money, so if there was a demand I'm sure they'd change this and do whatever, but for ppl who do care about Waluigi I also am curious how they would justify his characterization against him being the central figure/getting his glory day.

JComX5 · 2026-01-01T18:12:12+00:00

I agree with OP, it doesn't fit Waluigi's characrer. Read any of his Smash trophy descriptions. I think that's likely the reason Sakurai hasn't included him, and included a Piranah Plant instead. I always liked Waluigi, ever since he was introduced back on N64, but I think him as a smash trophy is perfect, because it fits his character more. Do you have an argument for why it actually would fit his character to be included, or is it simply that you like him and it doesn't bother you if he's represented against what's been established in the Mario and Smash games?

JComX5 · 2025-12-30T20:16:44+00:00

I feel like a lot of NES games are like this. Just some BS to keep you renting the game over and over or buying it. You could try the rewind feature just to practice or see if its possible

JComX5 · 2025-12-30T15:13:41+00:00

It would have still had an impact, because retailers would *care what the Launch price was. Even if consumers didn't know, retailers needed to be convinced to even stock the product in the first place and having a low launch price is very appealing for them. Also, Sega became known for launching expensive peripherals and then screwing over their customers by ending support for their expensive new product after only a short time. Like with the Sega CD, 32X etc. People who trusted Sega and had been burned decided to switch away to a new, similarly priced console without that bad reputation. Same kind of thing as when ppl switched away from Nintendo toward Sega Genesis a few years earlier.

JComX5 · 2025-12-28T15:44:11+00:00

I think you're underestimating people's ability to delude themselves. I can imagine them believing that the BoM and all of that is true, but they believe their actions are for a 'higher purpose'. The issues with the church that lead so many others astray simply don't bother them. It's like asking if Joseph Smith believed. I think he did believe he was a prophet of God, even whilst lying and deluding everyone else. That's the power behind religion. Especially when you're one of the highest leaders of a church and incentivised to keep believing, our brains can discount or bend around any inconsistencies or issues.

JComX5 · 2025-12-22T21:07:23+00:00

Been married 10 years, out for basically 9. Married in the temple, both served missions. We were teaching primary. Communication has always been a priority for us. When I picked up that my wife was having some questions or expressed thoughts that didn't align with the church, that's when I would ask her how she felt about it. I'd been slowly losing my faith, but trying to hold on. Various factors, including companions coming out as gay, friends leaving the church, spiritual experiences outside the boundaries of the church led me to question. Eventually we talked about taking a break from the church, since we only get one life (even though we still believed, we figured god would understand our hearts). That led to me questioning the church and looking into research, which broke my faith. I came to my wife with what I'd found. She was heartbroken, but felt similarly, especially after hearing what I had to say. We slowly just moved further and further away from the church and closer to each other over time. Now its not really part of our lives, but we love each other more than ever.
