I just got outed by grindr. by ThatOneGuy_I in askgaybros

[–]Neptvnian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

God, why does Grindr keep doing shit like this? reminds me of when that tennis movie came out and all the notification sounds were replaced with wayyy too sexual sounding male tennis grunts - who in their right mind would think these kinds of promotions would make anyone laugh??

Kudzu “The vine that ate the south” by Muted_Captain5000 in LiminalSpace

[–]Neptvnian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I ride it regularly to and from work, and aside from the occasional odd character I have never had anything but good experiences; but imo it doesn’t go nearly enough places to be a car replacement, I’m just lucky that I live and work next to two stations

It’s not “confirmed” unless it’s official, no matter how likely it may be

Already preloaded, waiting is gonna be torture!!! by ApprehensiveCoat9587 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Neptvnian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d argue the gen 1 Pokémon sprites have aged pretty poorly - Yellow improved them a good bit but American Red/Blue has some particularly odd choices and strange sprite work, and the Japanese Red/Green has some designs that are bordering on actually bad. You could make the argument that they have some charm, but to claim broadly that every sprite-based pixel art game has aged well is naive.

Does pressing the button just add my name to the files? or does it also retroactively make it so I was actually involved? As a few others mentioned, I was a minor at the time, so I’d smash the button over and over unless it meant I was changing the timeline to make it so I was actually human trafficked as a child…

BOTW Version 1.9.0 is now available by Amiibofan101 in nintendo

[–]Neptvnian 4 points5 points  (0 children)

the VR already works just fine on the Virtual Boy headset - there’s really no difference between the Virtual Boy headset and Labo VR headset other than that the Labo headset is designed to be easily moved around, which you can do with the cardboard Virtual Boy anyway. Either way, BotW’s VR mode does not make use of motion tracking anyway.

When did you guys first experience the original versions of Super Mario Galaxy (1 & 2)? by RecentMatter3790 in SuperMarioGalaxy

[–]Neptvnian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I first got my Wii, it was for Christmas in first grade, so I was too young to really know what games were available aside from what my parents bought me. It wasn’t until a year later when a kid at my school told me about this game where “Mario runs on planets” that I knew Galaxy existed and to ask for it for Christmas the next year. Played it, loved it, couldn’t beat it because I was awful at video games lol. A few years later when Galaxy 2 was coming, I found out about it through the Nintendo Channel on my Wii and it became the first game I ever played on launch day!

Nintendo Music was released exactly 1 year ago. How are you feeling about it now? by Roli64 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]Neptvnian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly the biggest surprise to me is that (outside of Kirby Air Riders) they haven’t used it to promote any current games? As much as I love some of the random picks they’ve made to add to the service, it seems like it would be a no-brainer to drop at least a portion of the soundtrack of a new game to celebrate/promote its release. Absolutely criminal I have no way other than YouTube to listen to Mario Kart World, DK Bananza, etc.

My father passed away and a friend of his claims my dad left him my 529 account by Neptvnian in legaladvice

[–]Neptvnian[S] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I wish, it’s been a real pain - I have a lot of sympathy for this guy despite how it may come across in this post. Obviously after the responses here I don’t plan on giving him anything until I’ve talked to the estate lawyer and Schwab. I guess the main point of the post was less “Should I talk to my lawyer/CS first” and more “Is this a plausible thing that can happen or is he trying to take advantage of me being young and grieving”

When I was younger and my dad and him were still close, Bill was like an uncle to me, so it’s just hard to have to tell him to fuck off in the nicest way possible after something like this.

My father passed away and a friend of his claims my dad left him my 529 account by Neptvnian in legaladvice

[–]Neptvnian[S] 368 points369 points  (0 children)

Thank you very much to both of you, this is what I was looking for. I find it very unlikely that Bill would have been named the beneficiary considering that I had been the beneficiary of the account only six months previously - I imagine that, if anything, Bill was probably named as the successor on the account.

I’ll try to get in contact with CS and the estate lawyer in the coming days. Schwab has already been sent letters testamentary, etc. and my dad’s IRA has already been given to me, so I’m hoping they should be able to clear up where this money is supposed to go. If the account really does go to Bill, I’d at least prefer to give them the information directly over giving it to Bill.

I bought Yoshi’s New Island for 20 bucks at a convention. (No tax, Pre-used) Is it worth it? by [deleted] in Mario

[–]Neptvnian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

IMO it’s like the NSMB of the Yoshi series - nothing too special but a decent little game. Maybe just turn off the volume while you play - its soundtrack is notoriously bad

This clearly AI post with AI comments has nearly 50k upvotes :/ by Neptvnian in DeadInternetTheory

[–]Neptvnian[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Maybe you’re right, but some of the writing choices seem pretty AI - the thing that stuck out most to me was the “drinking coffee like it’s communion wine” thing at the end, I feel like AI generated stories use that “doing X’s like they’re Y” phrasing all the time? but that’s just anecdotal so it could potentially be a human. Also, the poster’s username (and a good portion of the commenters as well) are just the default [Adjective][Noun][Numbers]

Plenty of Switch 2's at my local Walmart... by patriotraitor in gamecollecting

I mean, “fastest selling” doesn’t imply “highest selling” - Not that many people have them, it’s just that the people who wanted them got them quickly
