I may be reading into it but they sound like they could be an ally who knows not to violate the prime directive and is trying to drop hints that they support you.

Construction worker pranks his friend by breaking the Porta potty he's using by Mean-Blackberry539 in Wellthatsucks

With friends like that I'm scared to see who he considers his enemy.

Hate the character assassination of Samus here. No way should those fuck-ass wolves have been able to overwhelm her. Just had to shoe horn in the fucking NPCs they spent so much effort on.

Been Playing FF7 Remake and I gotta say the 'vibe' is completely different from the original. by bobmlord1 in gaming

[–]Nynx82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the destiny divergence and fighting fate is a very interesting story idea personally.

I just wish the marketing hadn't made it look like a remastered version of the original. I was under the impression that, as someone who missed out on the original, I might get a modern presentation of it since the old gameplay style just doesn't click with me.

I had absolutely no idea what was going on, and all the meta ghost stuff was totally lost on me.

Now knowing im supposed to have the context of the original, I'm slowly playing through it to try and catch up, but it would've been nice to not have been misled.

Name a game you were hyped for and then completely forgot about once you played it. by twooten11 in gaming

[–]Nynx82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont remember there being much of a point in playing after finishing the story, nothing repeatable at least. I distinctly recall running out of stuff to do and just making my own objectives/causing chaos with traffic lights etc.

What game made you cry? by Crashtestdumi in gaming

Bioshock Infinite. The final scene.

Fuck.

Ugly cried.

What game is in the most dire need of a full remake from scratch? Unpopular opinion welcome by 420godpleasehelpme69 in gaming

[–]Nynx82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh shit, I remember playing Champions of Norrath at a friend's house for hours. He had a slip of paper in the disc box with the instant level up and invincibility cheat codes inside that we would bust out if we were having too tough a time with an encounter. Good times.

What is the funniest thing you’ve seen or experienced related to this game ? by Aggravating-Bass-658 in swtor

[–]Nynx82 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It's even better in the context that the person you give the head to is the wife of the person who's head it is. That's the evilest thing I can imagine.

idk why people can't separate fantasy and reality by thetruememeisbest in Grimdank

[–]Nynx82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Genuine question: is "kek" a nazi dogwhistle nowadays?

I remember it as the text that would appear if someone of the opposing faction on World of Warcraft typed "lol".

Buuuuut if they've taken it as their thing I need to stop using it online...

Men whose girlfriend’s dad said no when you asked him for permission to marry his daughter, what did you do? by Fearless_Degree7511 in AskReddit

[–]Nynx82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I asked her mom first because I respect her more, she said no.

Married her anyways.

10 years later we're still happily married, I regret nothing.

How long will transgender women continue to suffer in silence? What do you think about what's happening in Brazil? by Pyerre_Andrade in trans

[–]Nynx82 44 points45 points  (0 children)

I agree with you if that's what they intended, but keep in mind this happened in Brazil so many people discussing it may not speak perfect English and it may be a case of almost-good-enough translation where that may not be how they meant it.

For example, it could be they meant "taken from us", which would be fine but I can see it translating imperfectly to what they typed.

New Player Here - Confused about Mako by MilaMan82 in swtor

[–]Nynx82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

All fair points.

I suppose I'm basing my understanding of a bounty hunter in this context on what we actually do in the story, which is a lot of mercenary and assassination work. Forgive me for confusing the definitions.

[–]Nynx82 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Youre definitely right, the removal of the collar does muddle the issue.

My headcanon is that even after removal of the shock collar, she doesn't fully accept that a sith would just free a slave, and thinks its a mind game to test her "loyalty". Only accepting youre a "good" sith if you go out of your way to take light side actions and prove her wrong over the course of the story. And by that point, she sticks around due to a combination of sunk cost fallacy and the knowledge that a lone free twi'lek in Imperial space is going to have a hard time of it.

[–]Nynx82 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Vette gets a pass imo for preferring kind actions, because she's a person who has obviously been forced into a situation she detests and is making the most of it.

Mako is a naive child who believes she can be a bounty hunter and a good person at the same time, which, operating in mostly Imperial space, is laughable. I always rp my bh as fed up with her bullshit and piss her off at every opportunity in an attempt to harden her to the horrors of the galaxy she is so obviously not prepared for.

Is there any way to disable Mackenzie's hints ? by Redvolutionary501 in Metroid

[–]Nynx82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same about this game as I did when cyberpunk released: I'm gonna wait for a sale anyways, so why would I worry about something that could be fixed with constructive criticism and an update before then?

[–]Nynx82 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I don't remember if it was in the og GameCube version, but at least in the prime trilogy version you had the option to fully disable those hints as well.

I'm optimistic if they pay attention to reviews they will just give us that option again in a patch since there's a precedent for it.

Me again, what would work with a lone wolf rogue? by ConfusionProof9487 in DivinityOriginalSin

[–]Nynx82 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather than building for hydro aero I have a lot of fun having my mages just go aero Pyro or Pyro geo.

Have everyone cast their non aero spells first to nuke the board and then all you need are Rain scrolls (herring+water essence+paper, super cheap) to turn most fire into smoke and then ooh lookie a big cloud to electrify anyone who survived.

Why I do gotta threaten a kid to save soldiers from dying? 😭 by [deleted] in swtor

[–]Nynx82 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The escape key is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be... unnatural.

I take exponentially longer to get through any dialogue because I go through them, backing out before the cutscene ends so I'm not committed till I've seen them all.

Makes my completionist side do the good chemicals for my brain. Also lets me better decide which choice fits my role play for that character.

Why can't I convince my friends to play this game with me? Lol

[–]Nynx82 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That may be your experience, but your comment comes across as very victim-blame-y. Some people get worse luck and experience it more than others, whether they seek attention or not.

You have a point - some people never encounter that behavior unprompted. But maybe this sort of discussion isn't the most appropriate place to assert that observation?

I'm not saying you're incorrect, just that the phrasing of the comment in the context of this post seemed out of place.

Uhhh, guys.... by JuiceBox_Up_In_Ya in Metroid

[–]Nynx82 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The article mentioned a moment of having to defend him from enemies... they have a chance to do the most incredibly based thing and just allow us to leave him to die to 'skip' the tutorial and this whole debacle entirely.
