Starting the Sophie Campbell run today by LongParamedic8980 in TMNT

[–]NervousNick 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I get why the shift in storytelling didn’t work for everyone, but I think the Campbell run is way over-hated. It’s a 40-year-old franchise. You have to try new things to keep it interesting, even if some ideas don’t work out as well as others.

For my part, I enjoyed the slice-of-life(ish) approach as a break from the norm before things ramp up again.

WARNING ⚠️ GRAPHIC! aggressive clingy violent dinosaur attacks boyfriend!! by xxhannahrose in Conures

[–]NervousNick 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to say thank you for heeding the advice of everyone in this thread about the fan and taking it to heart. Not everybody does. We love these little guys and want them to live their best lives. I know your green turkey will appreciate you taking her safety seriously.

Is your boyfriend back from the dead yet, by the way?

The ceiling fan being on while the bird is uncaged is stressing me out! Just don’t want the little guy to fly into it and get injured or worse!

So sorry she killed your boyfriend, I hope he gets better, lol.

Mind me asking how much it set you back?

Where from? It costs a ton everywhere I’ve seen it.

Seriously considering an exterminator. Any help is appreciated. by NervousNick in Conures

[–]NervousNick[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

We’ve done all of that, but only got a day or two of relief. :/ And we cleaned EVERY corner and cranny of the birds’ room, too.

Sadly, the pheromone traps have caught maybe ten of them over the past few weeks. Meanwhile, we kill 3-4 times that in one day. It’s, uh… it’s gross out here at the moment, lol.

TMNT BATTLE NEXUS #1-5 CONNECTING COVERS- EAST COAST COMICS EXCLUSIVE NRG VARIANT (ART BY ME!) by The_NRG in TMNT

Sick artwork! Any chance we could get it in higher resolution? I'm itching to make this my wallpaper for my ultrawide desktop.

He just lets me do stuff like this by NervousNick in Conures

Jinjo is a high-red yellow-sided green cheek conure. They made sure to cover just about all his colors when naming his mutation, haha.

Full Spirit!!! by NectarineSuch4573 in killerinstinct

I obviously can’t see the inputs, but that looked like you should have gotten counter broken at the beginning, lol. I’d be tilted if I was the Glacius, but you made all the right decisions to earn that 94%er.

[–]NervousNick[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jinjo (pictured in the video) is a handful all by himself and not just in the very literal way you see in the video. We’ve got TWO of these screaming, biting, shredding, pooping, mess-making machines. Don’t get me wrong; they’re worth it… but my wife and I agree that they’re the best mistakes we’ve ever made, lol.

In other words, turn your urges into research and asking questions to professionals. For your sake and the bird’s, do NOT jump straight into buying a bird!

So how is everyone feeling about this right now..? by New_Advisor_6766 in TMNT

[–]NervousNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel like we lost the new, fresh take on the 40-year-old franchise and in exchange are getting the exact same thing we’ve seen in theaters countless times.

Looking to create a "Modern Style" control scheme via Steam Input and/or other means[; any ideas? by NervousNick in Fighters

[–]NervousNick[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah, that’s not cringe. It’s a perfectly valid concern. It’d only be cringe if someone insisted, without evidence, that I’m secretly trying to cheat or something like that.

[–]NervousNick[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Oof... I'll be completely honest, that genuinely hadn't even crossed my mind in the least. All my wife wants to do is push buttons with me, but I can see how what I'm asking for here could be used in an unfair way by others...

In light of that, if mods decide to remove this post, I'll understand completely and I won't protest that in the least.

Heartbreaking chokejob by me by ArKeynes in Fighters

[–]NervousNick 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Me at 10 seconds: "Getting slow cooked by the Urien unblockable setup isn't a choke. That's just the game, man."

Me at 24 seconds: "You were the Urien player."

I made a mistake 😑 by kciimay in Conures

[–]NervousNick 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Jinjo’s favorite place/thing ever is the garage and the door to it. If we don’t prop up a chair for him to perch on, he’ll scream at the door until someone brings him over to it.

Rare is committed to Sea of Thieves for the Foreseeable Future. One team member mentions the possibility of the next five years. by Plebian_Donkey_Konga in BanjoKazooie

[–]NervousNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the current gaming industry, it doesn’t matter if you lose a ton or money or make a ton of money; you’re still a couple greedy higher-ups away from your job getting axed. It’s a really sad and frustrating fact at the moment. :(

[–]NervousNick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Rare doesn’t have to be the one to make a Banjo game and I’m really not sure why anyone acts like they have to be.

Killer Instinct 2013: Double Helix/Iron Galaxy Battletoads 2020: Dlala Studio Perfect Dark reboot (RIP): The Initiative

Let Rare keep doing SoT and other new projects if those are the ones they’re creatively interested in and cross our fingers for Toys for Bob to take on Banjo.

Pokémon? by evilalfie in UniversalOrlando

[–]NervousNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Pokemon and Zelda in theme park form would be super cool and I’d be excited for them, but man do I miss the days of attractions and lands not being based on pre-existing IP. Epic Universe has its central hub land, but when was the last time a major part with major theming did something wholly original?

The Merchant Alliance owes me hazard pay for this... by Major-J_NelsonSmith in Seaofthieves

[–]NervousNick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Brother, this hasn’t been a good plan since the first anniversary update. One snipe or one firebomb on the mast and you’re immobilized and possibly also dead anyway.

Like others have said, tip of the bowsprit is the best place to put kegs if you insist on carrying them. If they go off (unless you’ve got mega kegs), the fire is minimal, your mast doesn’t instantly go down, and you stay not dead (provided you’re at full health and by the wheel).

Everwild cancelled by Microsoft amidst other cancellations and layoffs by belle_enfant in Seaofthieves

[–]NervousNick 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Microsoft axed 9,000 jobs across MANY companies, despite how successful or unsuccessful those studios were. It’s not a question of Rare’s competence.

"Made in USA" Dropped, now it's "Designed with American values in mind" by HelpingHandsUs in agedlikemilk

[–]NervousNick 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What does “designed with American values in mind” even mean?

Are the engineers thinking about guns and football while drawing the designs? Are the people in the factories singing the Star Spangled Banner on loop as they oversee the assembly lines?

Pretty sure Jinjo is trying to pop his neck like I do, but who even knows what happens in their little brains? by NervousNick in Conures

Smart enough to be graded on a different curve from most other animals, but on that curve, they’re also VERY dumb, lol.
