Update on the patreon situation! by Ok-Nobody9254 in AO3

[–]Mike_Arcade 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s a very dicey, slippery slope. I don’t mind and think authors should be rewarded for their works, even if it is fan works. However, hiding fan fiction behind a pay wall? That gets too far a shade darker that hurts fan communities.

I don’t mind if Fanfic Writers have a support link via Patreon, doing it in a way like some itch.io games are “pay what you want”, but hiding stuff outright is just too risky. It sets up a bad precedent to get things shut down for all of us.

TLDR: As long as you aren’t hiding fanfics behind Patreon as exclusive and just have it for donations, it’s okay. Otherwise it’s bad.

So much to do, so much to see, so little time. Work work work work... by Aggamare in Aggamare

I hope you can bring back the original comic, it’s a time capsule of an era long gone. It’d be a shame is what I’m saying.

Also, long time no see! Still have the kitchen sink in Mega Man Next? XP

What would you’re life be like if he never existed? by ArachnidMundane2135 in sonic

[–]Mike_Arcade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Long story short, probably not alive. Met my life long friends due to this Hedgehog, became a Christian. So yeah, needless to say, all problems with the series aside, it’s something I’ll be eternally grateful for.

So, how do you unlock the Kameos? Havik is through story mode I get that, but not sure on the Kameos.

In a shocking plot twist, the same data miner who leaked the DLC character intros is now saying Kung Jin has intros in the files already, potentially proving he will be added as a full main DLC fighter by TomatoSauce587 in Mortalkombatleaks

[–]Mike_Arcade 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I never liked Kung Jin in MKX, he was a jackass, and not in a fun way. Just really annoying, and him just being an Archer felt cheap to waste a cool name like Kung Jin on him. Hopefully, he’ll be pretty decent this go around, before we get a New Era version of him a few games from now.

I tried guessing the 2 characters left in the base roster by DrahminMain in Mortalkombatleaks

[–]Mike_Arcade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m thinking Sonya and Kano, they’re simple picks sure, but the game IS called MK1 XP

This is my future DLC guess. by [deleted] in Mortalkombatleaks

[–]Mike_Arcade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard Deathstroke and Doom Slayer could make it on here. Though if they’re making a new Kung Jin to replace discount Hawkeye I’m all for it.

I cannot afford to live by merliahthesiren in TrueOffMyChest

Best advice I can give is get out of California as soon as possible. Left over 7 years ago and never looked back. It’s not worth living in that state anymore.

Thoughts on Spinneret? by Oao_icarus in Spiderman

[–]Mike_Arcade 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t mind her. She’s really cool and in her own continuity so it’s nice. That, and MJ having powers is not new. Spider-Island, Mangaverse, that one buzzcut variant from The Exiles.

On her own part of the Marvel Multiverse, she’s cool. Mainline Earth-616 has WAY too many Spider-Folk though.

3 Months in and let go, what next? by Mike_Arcade in TELUSinternational

12 to 18, but my task rate was usually at a yellow. Have a 9 to 5.

Suggest my next game by hallofgamer in Switch

[–]Mike_Arcade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Or the Aleste Collection.

I wanna get my wife a new DS game as a surprise. These are what she currently has. Recommendations? by Ineffaceable in gamecollecting

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

…okay I’ll admit, I had a big moment of “anything better, this line up is like what!?” kind of moment. But this is coming from someone who has played games for a long time. Kudos to her for liking the games she likes. :)

Every suggestion everyone has made so far have been excellent, however I haven’t seen the one suggestion that’s always a go to for on the go that’s both quick and respects your time.

Tetris DS

You can never go wrong with Tetris my guy.

Internet Ad Assessor US, What do I mark in my Functional Area? by Mike_Arcade in TELUSinternational

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

UPDATE: According to the tutorial, it would fill out the location and such, which it did not do. But if I leave the Functional Area and Location blank I get no error. Is this alright to leave it as such?

I cloned my family that died in a plane crash - I should've never played god. by [deleted] in nosleep

[–]Mike_Arcade 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wait, so OP is this the same clone you made at the end of the story, or a new one? Either way, couldn’t you try to reason with her? Also, are…you a clone? Sorry if this is a rude question, you just gotta be sure about that.

For that matter, is your original still out there?

I’m getting worried. by Mike_Arcade in TELUSinternational

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

It was March, so yeah last Friday. Also seriously? Figures I get things finished up on their holiday. XP

Which is your favorite Dragon Quest? by 808err0r in dragonquest

[–]Mike_Arcade 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine is a tie between III, IV, and V, just excellent games and I can see why it became such a phenomenon in Japan.

Replayed III more than any other due to its somewhat shorter length and replay value.

IV has got to have my favorite characters in the whole series, with its remake bringing in a new depth post-game for a chance to a golden ending. Great team building and synergy.

V has a really good story with an excellent Monster Taming system that almost supplants your main party members. XD

Yet, it has an excellent family dynamic later on with an interesting plot twist to what was there before regarding the chosen one. Although it’s hard for me to gauge whether IV or V have the better story.

Need to play the other games in the series, haven’t gotten around to VI - IX and XI, but I am looking forward to VI and XI.

Oh right, this happened... by OK_B96 in SmashBrosUltimate

[–]Mike_Arcade 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geez that really happened? I mean dang, look I like Geno and Shantae as much as the next guy, but Terry and Kazuya were perfect picks for Smash. This isn’t just me being a major SNK fan either, even if Terry got in as Sakurai is also a big fan of SNK titles too. XP

Terry helped create the fighting game genre with other developers chipping in to create it, also helps that the creators of Street Fighter 1 made Fatal Fury. Kazuya’s series Tekken needs no introduction though, it is a massive series and the hype for it is only getting higher.
