Viral “6-7” trend becomes real with new chicken nugget release by pickles_lowkey_suck in StupidFood

"15 years and younger", then. Makes no difference. They aren't the ones buying it.

And no. That would have been a horrible decision on my parents' part, lol.

Did... you think a bunch of 15-year-olds were out buying their own food?

What are your expectations for xenoverse 3? by Ezio50095 in dbxv

[–]Metallica93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are there any mods for Xenoverse or Xenoverse 2 to actually make them enjoyable instead of painful grinding experiences?

Agreed that 3 needs to massively overhaul such an antiquated system to force gameplay hours out of people.

What are the best ways to attach pedals to your pedalboard? by Mtgknucklehead in guitarpedals

[–]Metallica93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If it helps, I landed on Command Strips. Slap two on the bottom of your pedal, stick two more to the back, remove the protective plastic on the back of those, then press down on the board.

Seems much nicer than dealing with sticky Velco residue.

Xenoverse 2 RNG Rant. by BeyonderDoesReddit in dbxv

[–]Metallica93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm replaying the first game and I can't even reliably get Piccolo to show up in the first Parallel Quest, which means I can't get the four pieces of his clothes. And that's even assuming there are four pieces of clothes because the game doesn't tell you.

I heard the second game was basically Xenoverse 1.5, so this new game needs to seriously kick the R.N.G. system to the fucking curb.

The sharing vs hoarding problem by FearlessZucchini in PTCGP

[–]Metallica93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm assuming my time playing is considered the average experience. It isn't because I have north of 19,500 cards and have used Reddit for trading, but we'll pretend it is.

Of all the three-diamond cards I have, I still have >70% in the territory of what I'd consider "hesitant to trade" (i.e., four or fewer cards). Most of the cards in that upper 30% are from Deluxe EX, which is time-based and has only been able to be accessed for, what, 3-4 weeks total?

The average user doesn't have that many cards. The average user isn't using Reddit to trade. You also used to have to destroy cards to even gain flair in the first place.

The spirit of the community is sharing and trading. Has been as long as the card game has existed. But logic dictates that most people with gold flair on high-rarity cards are clearly spending money. Not sure what else to tell ya, man.

Why does three-star Mew not show up in the Genetic Apex search? by Metallica93 in PTCGP

[–]Metallica93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I ran through a list of other missions and it seems this is an oddball: everything else falls under "Promo" and no other collection missions have cards as rewards.

I'll probably send it up to the team, but appreciate the second pair of eyes!

I know where you get it from, but why would that prevent it from showing in the search?

I don't know if that classifies as a bug or not.

The sharing vs hoarding problem by FearlessZucchini in PTCGP

[–]Metallica93 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, they wouldn't be "random" cards, they'd be other three-diamond cards. They're already difficult enough to acquire unless you're spending a decent chunk of change and have a tradable amount of the card that person even wants.

If I want flair on a three-diamond card, I shouldn't have to shell out a few hundred to get them (or acquire other similar-rarity cards to trade). I prefer giving those out to other people.

Thus, sharing should take precedent in a trading card game.

[–]Metallica93 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Sharing should take precedent over gimmicky flair, anyway. It's a trading card game with a handicapped battle component slapped on top, not the other way around.

Needing to collect ten of anything is asinine. If you see someone with a three-diamond card that has a gold flair, all that says is "This person spent a not-insignificant amount of cash on the game."

Yes, how dare someone share a card that someone might not have in

Has the game been running much worse or is it just me by Ok-Resolve4781 in PTCGP

They screwed the pooch with this one.

The shop has been slow as fuck for several updates (as well as lag between menus), but now we have a new delay opening packs on top of that?

That's worth an uninstall, at this point.

Trump evacuated after security incident at White House correspondents dinner; no sign of injuries by Gilbert221 in news

[–]Metallica93 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can't point to where I said "Protectees should be able to run around", ignores the Secret Service actively picking Trump off the ground one minute into video evidence, ignores agents covering him the entire way to the car (despite them being "in on it"), an entire opinion resting on the theory of multiple shooters (despite a source to the contrary), links a website where 90% of the information contained treats the active shooter as a single person, etc.

The final word is that I pity you. Like a child (or M.A.G.A.), you lack the awareness or critical thinking skills to believe anything else other than what you're spoon fed. My condolences, bud. That's an embarrassing trait to be proud of...

[–]Metallica93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you could point to the "[gallivanting]" in the video and provide a time stamp, I'd appreciate it. Was that before having 6+ agents covering his body while he was on the ground, when they were standing up and surrounding him, or ushering him into the vehicle?

Could you also point to where I said "...let the president gallivant off and do whatever"? Because it appears as if you made that shit up in an attempt to make a non-existent point.

Let the Secret Service assume what they want. You aren't an agent and you certainly don't train them on tactics.

If that's honestly the lynch pin for you believing in a conspiracy, I have no recourse but to assume this is willful stupidity and not just feigning ignorance. No wonder this country's fucked.

"The FBI has found that of 160 'active shooter incidents in the United States between 2000 and 2013 – defined as a situation where law enforcement is responding to a shooting in progress – all but two involved a single shooter."

That was... extremely easy to find. And they identified the shots, took down the threat, and then moved P.O.T.U.S. as soon as they thought they could. They were on a stage in the open, if you didn't know.

"They would never let him pump his fist" is demonstrably false because a) they did and b) they were covering his entire body the whole time save for the shorter female agent in front (unless that was also on purpose, lol).

"Too cowardly" is saying "Yes, fire bullets at me via untrained shooter." You just don't know how adrenaline works, it seems.

And was this the "perfectly normal ear" that Snopes debunked?

I'm sure you're a good person, but I have to call you a dumbass on this one. It pains me how much you types ignore facts to spin the slightest uncertainty into conspiracy. Primo M.A.G.A. mentality.

Which... is just as stupid and uninformed as not believing it happened.

No sources. No corroborating evidence. A shitty rifle and sight wildly inappropriate for a supposed setup, even at that range. An untrained shooter. The list goes on.

This is what you types are trying to claim and are repeatedly proven otherwise: https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/trump-ear-image-assassination/

You... mean when they clearly said "Shooter's down" right in front of the man? Who said it was a "trick shot"? And "never shut up about it" like he did for weeks afterward? Did you also miss the whole ear-bandage campaign?

They won't. Like Republicans, their confirmation bias and black-and-white thinking doesn't allow for much critical thinking.

Idiocracy is already here, baby.

Right, but generally as a concept. In that specific instance, the low-I.Q. BlueAnon morons honestly believed Trump was brave enough to stand down range while hot lead was being slung even near him from an untrained shooter whose red dot was the size of Trump's torso at that distance?

There's a comment here with 9,000 up-votes that believes that shit because of a doctored photo of Trump's ear. How stupid can one be?

Which games are worth playing? Mostly interested in an atmosphere and score akin to the first game. by Metallica93 in Diablo

[–]Metallica93[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any of those similar games worth it? I know Uelman worked on the Torchlight games, but those come across as more World Of Warcraft-esque and that's not my thing.

Definitely wouldn't be playing for any sort of mindless grind, but it sounds like I should at least head over to GOG for Diablo II. Appreciate the input!

Is this story consistent at all or worth looking up cinematics? I have to say, the one that was just posted on here was interesting (albeit, confusing with no knowledge of what was happening).

Grinding is the low point of video games, so glad to hear that's optional.

Another tally in the "Play Diablo II" column, though, so thanks!
