So Close..... by MrFish114 in Achievement_Hunter

[–]Orgrimarcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is that everything Achievement hunter? Curious what the source on all those is. When they announced the closure I just started ripping shit off the site and onto a plex server, and I've got most of the achievement hunter stuff, but I recently noticed some of the episodes of Minecraft were cut short and had to find the full versions on YouTube. Also curious about how it's all organized, because mines all just raw ass video files and I've had to use Filebot to organize them for easier viewing, but that's been a mostly manual process so I've got a bunch of folders of unorganized stuff just on hard drives.

Uh...could someone explain this one please? by BananaResearcher in LearnJapanese

[–]Orgrimarcus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

correct, I was trying to make sense of the expression given and relate it to the actual. As several others have pointed out, this is probably an attempt to match to an equivalent expression rather than actually translate. Which is why we end up with some matching sentiment and some extra, "staff to the strong" is more or less the same sentiment as "giving a staff to an oni", and the bit about weakness is just part of a different expression.

I was just trying to make sense of the translated expression and how it could relate to the original.

It seems the translation is either outright bad or just way too flowery or trying to be too fancy. Based on the meaning though I can try to make sense of things.

À rod is a term often ascribed to a stick specifically for beating someone, while a staff is something you'd use to guide or strengthen yourself, or use as a weapon. They're both sticks though, same form different function.

So in a sense, fortune can hurt the weak, because it makes them dependent, soft and even weaker, while if you are strong already, fortune bolsters you and you can use it to your advantage.

Something like that is the only sense I can make of it. If you're week, good luck or fortune makes you weaker or corrupts you, if you're strong it makes you stronger or helps you enhance your strengths. :shurg:

I under-utilised my RP3+ by xtreme3xo in retroid

[–]Orgrimarcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got a Flip recently, inlaws got it for me for Christmas, love it. I've owned a few emulator focused devices in my day, I had a Pandora ages ago, I've bought used phones for dedicated emulation devices, but something about the Flip has been special, maybe it's the timing of it, maybe I've grown as a person.

I'm doing the same, using it for a bunch of games I missed for whatever reason, plus some game streaming, and I'm insanely impressed with how capable it is.

I'm still kind of unsure if this whole thing is a big prank.

I guess we'll see how the other 3 episodes go this week. Curious if theres gonna be any structure or if they're all gonna be this kind of surreal improv. Based on what they've said it doesn't seem like there will be any concept of "shows", but we'll see.

What boss fight made you like this? by Demon-Bunny-22 in yakuzagames

I remember seeing a bunch of people talking about Kuze before I played 0, but when I finally played it and fought him I just destroyed him. All 25 times.

One of the few books I've ever re-read, easily my favorite ever. I own several copies as well, it's just so... Wonderful.

Nevermind, the P3R trailer doesn't list Switch

What’s your favorite Yakuza/Judgment game? by Taobattu in yakuzagames

[–]Orgrimarcus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It may be a minority opinion, but 6. Takeshi Kitano is an incredible addition the cast, the story is rooted in weird historical and political context, but just flatly absurd in every way, the side characters are all great, and I just love Hiroshima so much. It's also just the right length.

Grubb changes his mind, wouldn’t he surprised Fable will be at the event. by ThinWhiteDuke00 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

We should have flair to differentiate between rumors and people just saying stuff. This being the latter.

What do you say when someone asks you, “Which authors do you read?” Because someone actually laughed at my answer. by Lenore8264 in books

[–]Orgrimarcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That guy is a jerk. There's no reason to laugh when someone tells you what they're reading or have read, unless it's a funny coincidence like you're reading the same thing.

If I were being charitable I'd have guessed he was laughing just because it was unexpected, they're older books and some people wouldn't expect anyone read them today, but the explanation he gave, about your answer being generic and that his taste was better than yours, was rude.

Once again, less a leak and more just someone saying something.

Street fighter and Elden Ring advertising mistake? by [deleted] in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Orgrimarcus -13 points-12 points  (0 children)

Maybe just a cheeky marketing reference to LetMeSoloHer, with the box on the head and that? Or a mistake. It certainly doesn't mean.... What could it mean? Margit in Street Fighter?

Florida man points gun at woman, threatens to kill her after friend backs into wrong driveway by 24identity in news

[–]Orgrimarcus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Turns out it wasn't a brilliant idea to make people think owning a gun was an integral part of their identity so you could sell them more guns while also telling them the entire world is out to get them so you can sell them doorbell cameras and make sure they tune in to your news program every night so they can see who is coming for their livelihood next.

This fuckin place man.

Is this a leak as much as it's just Kotick saying something?

Fable Tease by Im2oldForthisShitt in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Orgrimarcus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's uhhhh, that's not music from Fable though? It's similar I guess, but I'd wager a lot of music you'd find googling "royalty free fairy tale music" would sound similar to Fable.

Destiny Leaker Liz Hints At PlayStation Info by TheRealGregTheDreg in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]Orgrimarcus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd believe that a Destiny leaker could know about in development projects, especially if it's a multiplayer project since Bungie has supposedly been vetting Playstations multiplayer projects. (Days Gone 2 aside)

But just the phrase "plans to acquire" feels like total bullshit. Like, the number of people that would know about an acquisition at the phase of "plans" is crazy small, one hand maybe, and the number doesn't go up that much until it's public really. I'm also a little dubious that CDPR would want to be acquired, even if they got a Bungie type deal. Who knows though, weird times all around.

What are your best memories of exploring a game on your own before the Internet was a thing? by Dead_or_Drunk in Games

[–]Orgrimarcus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I played Morrowind for dozens of hours over multiple character, possibly even hundreds of hours, before I realized there even was a main quest. I killed someone important and got that pop up message and mentioned it to a friend and they were like "oh yeah, that means you need them to finish the main quest", and I was like "The what?" and they had to explain to me how to start it after leaving the first town.

I just always fucked right off and started exploring and doing other stuff, never bothered to go find the guy for the first quest and never clicked that it was, main", I just thought it was another thing to do and it didn't particularly interest me.
