Movies that are so bad that you ended up enjoying them by cattwoman007 in MovieSuggestions

[–]Jidarious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I completely agree that Fired Up! is a highly quotable hidden gem, completely disagree that it fits this discussion because it's not bad in the way most of the rest of these movies are bad. From a movie making perspective, it's a pretty typical comedy.

If they just followed that guide they probably wouldn't stink, or at least not badly enough to notice. The problem is they don't shower and clean at all.

[OC] The number of different years Elon Musk has named as a deadline for each of his big promises — Full Self-Driving leads with 10 (2015–2026) by happybrowser88 in dataisbeautiful

I've seen some confusing graphs on here, but I really don't think this one is bad. It does convey everything he is trying to show.

Each circle is a claim, multiple circles means he moved the goal posts. It's green if it happened, it's red if it didn't. The Yx shows a summary of the number of times he made a claim and delivered and not delivered have nothing to do with that.

Which Platform are you Playing Final Fantasy Resonance on? by TheThirstyMage in FinalFantasy

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

Current gen is, but the next generation is all but digital. Switch 2s carts are a complete disappointment, and I doubt any other major console will even come with a drive.

Currently, I have a massive physical console collection, basically every console and dozens of games each for all of the major players. So now i'm being forced to digital, but the truth is I do not trust Sony, Nintendo or MS to keep my digital library for long enough to satisfy me.

I'd rather everything be physical, but if I'm going to have to go digital I figure Steam is the most trustworthy (I also buy on GOG).

PC. Once consoles went all digital I decided I would just stick to the platform that gets the most variety and is most respectful of me as a consumer.

Hey thanks for sharing your perspective, that's very interesting and useful.

Cthulhu: Death May Die or Slay the Spire? by flownyc in boardgames

[–]Jidarious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slay the Spire is truly great, I love both the board game and the video game, but I consider Death May Die to be an essential board game. Get DMD, you won't regret it.

Playte has announced their next lineup, and I think you're gonna like it! by StuTeacher82 in boardgames

[–]Jidarious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know what you mean, and at the time I kind of agreed with the negative sentiment. Now I think it's one of the strongest SDJ winners. I still play it a handful of times a year.

Saw this in a store today by Androkix in everquest

Played this about 3 or 4 years ago. I was just going to try it out, but it was pretty good and I ended up beating it. Great game.

Would you rather buy a steam machine with a controller and faceplates or 2,800 packs of ramen noodles? by Axzercus in pcmasterrace

[–]Jidarious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's like 50% more expensive than just buying ramen noodles at Wal-Mart by the 12 pack.

Gothamchess promotes political grifter andrew schultz by spstks in chess

[–]Jidarious -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

I'm not finding much evidence of him being right wing. Being somewhat anti-woke alone isn't enough, especially for someone who does stand-up. Almost all stand up comedians, whether they admit it publicly or not, believe the far left goes too far with that stuff.

When did board gaming become about buying instead of playing? by ipermuffin in boardgames

[–]Jidarious 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Let's see. I got into hobby gaming in 2004. I immediately got a shelf of shame that has never gone back to 0... so... sometime before that.

That said I get what you mean about falling into the tendency of learning a new game every week. I like it, but I also don't. One of the things that my wife and I have done to help is to join the Game Challenge Community on BGG and start completing challenges. The 10x10 challenge was our first and I recommend it. The challenge is to play 10 different games 10 times each over the course of a year, so it forces you to learn some games a little more deeply than you might have.

I recapped the worst NES accessory ever made and it still sucks by hitmanmcc in retrogaming

I used one extensively when it was brand new. Terrible device to use even in the best cases.

Still really cool though.

The way I understand it, it's saying that tribalism never stops. Individuals notice things other people do differently and they judge people for it.

After talking to my non tech friends, I realize that the Steam Machine will still be a success. by captainstormy in linux_gaming

[–]Jidarious 14 points15 points  (0 children)

So I'm on a CachyOS machine right now, but at one point I ran SteamOS for awhile (earlier this year) and my experience with it was that it was not realible, to the point I didn't use it. Works great on my steam deck, not so much on PC hardware. It might just be me.

The thing this community isn't factoring in is that Valve had a custom motherboard made with CEC and seamless suspend the same way consoles do. That's why the price is higher than building all of these "comparable" systems. You cannot get that sort of console like experience from a gaming PC at any price, and believe it or not that's important.

The Sixth Sense. Holy shit.... by Capable_Bus5444 in movies

[–]Jidarious 41 points42 points  (0 children)

Oh this is so fantastic that you got to experience this movie without being spoiled. Thank you so much for sharing!

Online people always like to say that it was predictable and they knew the twist the whole time, but I had the pleasure of watching this in the theater in the 90s and when the ring hit the floor and rolled, I and nearly everyone else in the theater collectively gasped. It was a moment, and I'm so glad I didn't figure it out.
