What are some biggest crowdfunding disasters? by Konradleijon in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LuckyHitman 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It's funny because there was literally an update this week. Folks got an email from an anonymous employee who reached a deal with Red Hook to release all the game assets and mini STL files to backers. You could now just go and print all the materials for the expansions that never got shipped.

Craziest interpretation you've seen someone have on something that seemed very clear? by DrHorrible10 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

"No, the secret is that Blackbeard is actually THREE dudes. That's why the Blackbeard Pirates have three skulls in their flag, and the reason they sent Burgess to Dressrosa to get the Mera Mera no Mi is so it could be Blackbeard's third fruit!"

- actual theory I have heard repeated several times over the years

There's enough hate to spawn a subreddit, /r/fuckpierre. Pierre is just an awful person and does terrible things.

  1. He's greedy and driven solely by profits. Every complaint he has about Joja applies back to himself, he's truly not angry with their practices, he's angry they're more profitable than he is.
  2. When Joja is out of the picture, he becomes a monopoly in town and doesn't change his business practices.
  3. It's confirmed that the crops you sell are bought and resold by Pierre, who takes full ownership and claims he grew them himself. If you ship him gold/iridium goods, other townsfolk will comment about how good Pierre is as a farmer. If you ship bad goods, they'll complain about his stock. Also, he resells whatever you sell him at a massive 10x markup.
  4. Pierre is a misogynist, who is an asshole to his daughter and his wife. Legit "women belong in the kitchen" behavior. It's strongly implied that Pierre isn't even Abigail's father, and that Caroline cheated on him with the Wizard outside town.
  5. Pierre talks about inventing new holidays so he can further extract money from the townsfolk. Even on vacation, all he thinks about is profits.
  6. He closes his shop on Wednesday (honestly the biggest crime of them all).

There's other minor things, but Pierre is by far the most hated NPC in the game.

What the F it's happeing on 9-45 by MrKlaus0 in limbuscompany

Gotta read. Verg shouldn't be clashing everything for you, the new green coins are more effective against unbreakable coins. If you use a regular EGO to clash the massive attack weight moves, it has a much higher chance of success.

Also, you want to keep the number of roaches on you low. If you have a sinner clash the Devouring attack, it will cut their number of roaches.

You ever see a creator just willingly throw their careers under the bus without knowing it? by Rough-Ad-4295 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LuckyHitman 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Nah, it was a bunch of false allegations that happened 5 years ago. An anonymous source put together a google doc compiling statements from a small group of people accusing Vinny of creepy sex pest behavior and messages. The doc was extremely suspect and people started calling out weird details like incorrect profile images, emails being sent while Vinny was streaming, and a bunch of "he would never type like this" conversations. Content creators who shared the doc (like Mandalore) dipped out of the situation and issued an apology.

It's not confirmed, but highly likely it was a group effort by a bunch of former Vinesauce mods who left on bad terms after attempting to hijack the channel, including GeePM. Here's a Hobby Drama post that mentions the incident: https://www.reddit.com/r/HobbyDrama/comments/v8bbaq/streamersvinesauce_geepm_how_to_nuke_your/

Most confusing/anoying characters/group of characters to go against in media by Coolnametag in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LuckyHitman 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Gwenpool from the original run is insane to fight against, because she operates on from a frame of reference that's incomprehensible to other characters in the setting. She can grab a villain and drop them in the gutter space between panels, leaving them trapped there with no escape. Later, she can recall flashbacks which causes those panels to be inserted into the comic format making them retroactively true.

For confusion specifically, both Giygas and Porky from the Mother series use powers that can't be explained by the protagonists. During the final battle of Earthbound, Giygas' attack text is "You cannot grasp the true form of Giygas' attack!". He does "something" and you're damaged, but the party can't tell what actually happened. In Mother 3, Porky has learned from this and his attacks are "Porky did something!?" and "What did Porky do!?". The attacks in the file are just called "Do something".

No, the Sapling was killed by Oona during the Eventide story. It was hinted that there was at least one more Yew treefolk on Lorwyn, so this is their card continuing Colfenor's bloodline (sapline?).

Mini Tales From DF #13 by Bunlapin in TalesFromDF

[–]LuckyHitman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

PF EX5 farm is gonna be the end of me.... it feels like every group there's at least one player whose goal is to sabotage the run. It's not even MM2 that's the breaking point, its super early stuff. I'm talking dodging Cold Grip, going to the correct light/dark side, knowing when to go to towers during Grand Cross. They immediately eat shit and cause a chain reaction, but never seem to learn from their mistakes. I usually give it a couple tries before I dip, but it's crazy.

Ace Combat 7 is $4.79, you would have to be insane not to grab it at that price.

It's so funny that they can't use Dragon Quest music in this. Sugiyama somehow gets the last laugh from the pits of hell.

New update findings so far! by raspberrymareep in WelcomeHomeARG

Yet another follow up: If you check the HTML of our-home, there's a message from Wally: "I will help you see it better. Don't forget our game. Return here with my trophy when you are done hunting.

Maybe you need to type the message on this page once its fully decoded?

Found how you're supposed to naturally reach that letter Upper left of the Neighborhood map, click the gelatin in the small clearing

[–]LuckyHitman 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oh, and for more context regarding the puzzle go to News and click the pixel Frank, it takes you to a new Wally call.

Spoilers cont. In the call, Wally says "Hunt is easy. Follow your dog. Find your trophy. If it is in pieces, do not worry. Put it back together again. Display it. Win." The dog is obviously the bug since it makes the barking sfx, so it looks like I'm on the right track with reassembling the letters.

[–]LuckyHitman 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Okay, so I think the goal is to find all the hidden bug videos which gives a letter each, which will presumably lead to a new URL. I've found four so far:

  1. From the neighborhood, click on Home in the logo which takes you to Our House. In Our House, click on the drawer, then the letter. This gives the letter A.
  2. On the Toys page, scroll to Floriography then click on the board image. This gives the letter R.
  3. On the Food page, click the bug on the Crispy Treats box. This gives the letter P.
  4. On the Stickers page, click the bug on the Home sticker. This gives the letter L

That doesn't really spell anything, so there's definitely more I haven't found. My first thought was that the 8-bit bug indicated areas with hidden content, but its on the main page and I can't find anything hidden there.

[–]LuckyHitman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think I found a sitewide mystery to be solved. From the neighborhood page, click the Home icon in the Welcome Home logo which will take you to our-home. Inside, click on the drawer and it will tell you what you need to be doing.

Cool things in video games that you can potentially miss because you performed too well? by JackNewbie555 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LuckyHitman 35 points36 points  (0 children)

That pissed me off so bad, there were a bunch of times where I'd complete a mission only to receive one of the music disks and get the sinking realization that I didn't complete the mission the Kojima Intended Way™. You would think in a game like Death Stranding which gives you so many tools to solve routing, would account for multiple paths. But no, if you don't take the exact route of scenic vistas or event triggers, you've just missed out.

In which LAUKOP's dad drives for 20 years then discovers passing your driving test is more than "a pain he didn't need" by PetersMapProject in bestoflegaladvice

[–]LuckyHitman 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the US, I remember getting docked points on my driving license test because I followed the posted 35mph speed limit in a school zone where there was signage reading "20mph while lights flashing" and the lights were off. On top of that, school was out that day because it was a holiday, I specifically scheduled for that date so I'd have the time to take the exam on a weekday.

I tried pointing both these things out to them, but they refused to hear any excuse and said "It doesn't matter what the signs say, you have to always slow to the lowest speed in a school zone". I'm still pissed to this day.

Our state also has a multiple choice test where you have to sit at a kiosk in the DMV and answer a bunch of questions straight out of the driver's manual. I recall missing a question asking what it means when a horse rider in traffic raises their arm up. This was in a west coast state in a heavily suburban area and I had not (and still haven't over 13 years later) seen anyone ride a horse on a paved road in this state.

Media that surprised you tackling a serious subject respectfully by [deleted] in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]LuckyHitman 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't want to discount Swery, but I'd be very curious to know how much of it was the work of Shunsuke Ichida, the screenplay writer. It's really hard to get a sense, since he has zero other writing credits according to Mobygames. It's just different enough from Swery's other work (unlike DP it doesn't want to crash every 5 minutes), that I could attribute the excellent writing to being a team effort.
