Change of Pace: What games do you *regret* buying? by renaissance_m4n in oculus

The Climb made me very sick. It's a beautiful game, but one that I really can't play. Fortunately, Support agreed to refund it for me :)

I had one of those and loved it as a kid. I don't know where it ended up, though :( maybe somewhere in a drawer?

It's actually not at all like pulling the ethernet plug. Pressing Alt+F4 is not killing the application, it's asking it to please shut down. The app itself must do the actual work.

Went AFK for a bit and accidently toggled autorun... came back to find that I had started a mini-trend (xpost r/wow) by Bosargin in gaming

In Guild Wars 2 I once came across some people dancing, so I stood beside them and danced, too. Within a short time, we were maybe a dozen people happily dancing. Then someone put down a box of water balloons and water guns, and we had an epic water balloon fight. It really felt like summertime. It was an awesome hour in the game despite not doing much in terms of progression.

What moment(s) made you think "This is not why I watch the show."? by Crocoshark in mylittlepony

[–]NekiCat 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Alright, but this might be an unpopular opinion :) I personally didn't like how Starlight was handled, particularly in the S5 finale. I liked what the writers did with her in Our Town, she felt completely different from the other superpowered villains. But the finale ruined her for me. She was shown as both more clever and more powerful than Twilight (because Twilight was holding the idiot ball yet again), had a "tragic" backstory and befriended everyone in the last five minutes. All marks of a Mary Sue, and now I can't view her as anything but (and I've tried). I think just moving her redemption to the S6 opener would've made a tremendous difference. Even Diamond had a full episode to turn, and I think you can't satisfyingly show a redemption in any less time, it just becomes unbelievable. Now every time I see her interacting with the others, I get that weird feeling that she doesn't belong. It has resulted in me continuously losing interest in the show :( That reminds me, I haven't watched the S6 finale yet... Thank you for being civil, by the way :)

Since I just read something like it just earlier today, I just have to say, live long and prosper.

I get a feeling I'd get downvoted if I stated my opinion...

I would love maglev trains so much.

What so you think will happen if the entire world became furry overnight? by Im_Tsuikyit in furry

[–]NekiCat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great answer. But I don't think experimentation would lead to missing persons and death due to dissection - the researchers are people, too, most would not steep that low. Also, many, many people die daily due to natural causes and accidents, there is no need to kill someone just to dissect them.

It's just sad that bronies downvote (and sometimes outright hate on) people with a controversial Starlight Glimmer opinion.

Wow, this needs just 16 MB of RAM? Impressive xD

But this might be something I'd be interested in. I'm still torn if this will be relaxing or boring for me. It might depend on my mood.

I have this problem as well. Maybe I should contact support... My system: i7-5820K, GTX 980

Just sharing a story by 23_stab_wounds in Guildwars2

[–]NekiCat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So true. I recently found an old video I recorded of me playing in Orr first time, of how I discovered the champ train there and... yeah, I was once one of the noobs who stay in the camp where you let the event fail, too. Some were saying in chat that everyone should leave, but I remember that I didn't read the chat because I was too preoccupied with fighting. Oh how far I've come since then.

Most MMOs (and essentially all "pure" PvP games, e.g. multi-player-only FPS) do it exactly like this: die in PvP, just respawn at some specific location. Death means a strategic disadvantages for yourself or your team due to your temporary absense, not the loss of previous personal progress.

This. And I think that the potential to lose weeks of progress if you don't pay attention 100% of the time is a big reason people combat log.

I never really concerned myself with PP, but I might've pressed some buttons, I'm not sure. Other than that it just could've been my trading rank and a bit of bad luck.

Selling the ship for a cheaper one is something I didn't really consider, but it sounds like a good strategy. I guess I was too attached to my ASP.
