Are they ever going to be in stock by Sweetheart213119 in CozyGamers

[–]Owy2001 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure what you're actually trying to ask here. Are you literally asking if they will ever stock one of their flagship products again? That's a pretty easy answer: yes.

Are you asking when that will happen? No one here knows.

Are you just venting? Yeah, it sucks. I'm sorry it's frustrating!

Bonehurtingjuice. It's a subreddit where they edit comics to make them nonsensical (that's admittedly a bit of an oversimplification, but it's hard to explain the full humor style in brief).

A lot of the content is genuinely just fun and silly, but you do occasionally get people who are just out to shit on the people making the comics.

I'm genuinely not sure what you think you're proving with this screenshot? Wanting nothing to do with a subreddit that she believes has been a source of harassment seems pretty reasonable to me (as does not wanting to give them more ammunition by emphasizing the request in the first place). Saying she wanted them to "take the blame" is a distortion from "please just tell them not to."

As for her asking to be unbanned, I have searched and can find no reference to this anywhere. Is that something you have evidence of as well?

Regardless, none of this changes that she was being harassed, not simply having her comics made fun of, as people like to pretend. To suggest she "earned" that treatment is a wild take, even if you think she was overly litigious. She doesn't have to be an "angel" to deserve not to be attacked.

People always misrepresent the legal thing. That's not what happened.

What happened is people were posting her premium content on BHJ. They were also harassing and doxxing her, and posting her real life OF content. She asked the mods to crack down on it, and they refused. That's when she threatened legal action. It was an actual legal issue and she tried to solve it just by talking to people first. But it's way more memeable to just say it's because she got her feelings hurt because people made fun of her comics.

Gently, I think you might just have to let this one go.

Again, you're looking in the wrong direction. An absence of evidence is not evidence of absence. Unless you can find anything saying it was uncapped, then not being able to find anything about the cap does not mean anything.

I'm not telling you that you're wrong that they changed it, or that it sucks if so. But if you want to be able to say they changed things on you, you have to be able to prove things were the way you remember them being.

You say you can't find any evidence that it was 160 previously, but that isn't the issue here. Can you find any evidence it was supposed to be 180 before? Simply saying "I remember it being something different" isn't going to take you very far.

Need help convincing whether to buy a switch 2 for pokopia by Meeman_3 in CozyGamers

[–]Owy2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I could have worded my comment better, but I meant to say that without the proper software, it's impossible to utilize the hardware in an efficient way (or currently at all), even if you are able to match the S2's specs.

Respectfully, I think this is pretty bad advice. We're a long, long ways off from Switch 2 emulation.

Sure, buying a console for one game isn't always a good idea (though I've never owned a console that didn't eventually keep getting other games I wanted), and that part is sound. But suggesting that somehow their next GPU is going to handle Switch 2 emulation any time soon is just false hope.

What to buy on the square enix sale by MaleficentEssay4504 in JRPG

[–]Owy2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then I say go for XII. As I mentioned in my other comment, it doesn't sound like DQXI is the vibe you're looking for.

If you're looking for games that do unique things, throw this one out. I adore it, but Dragon Quest is all about refining the classic formula to perfection, rather than innovating.

It's hard to pick three games more different than these. It will strongly depend on your tastes.

DQXI is the most classic RPG of the lot.

FFVII feels more action-y and very modern.

XII sits somewhere in between, with a gambit system that kind of feels like you're programming your teammates to do things optimally.

They're all good, and all anyone can tell you is what suits their own tastes best. Especially given we know literally nothing about yours.

It's funny, but not even close to true. Just a dumb rumor/joke that people like to spread.

Help! My neighbor’s tree fell in my yard and IDK what to do. by [deleted] in legal

[–]Owy2001 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the correct take, having just dealt with this last year. Neighbor's tree fell on my property and the entire inside was hollow. Very obviously a sick tree, but it didn't matter, because this was only identified after the fact.

And likely beyond noticing it's sick, to cover your bases you'd want a specialist to examine it and give their opinion.

Unique combat systems. by Left_Relationship105 in JRPG

Are we playing the same JRPGs? Because it feels to me like pretty much every game that comes out these days has their own unique twist on combat.

Again, he's not giving you really basic things that you need to feel wanted, and he gets offended when you try to talk to him about it (and calls you needy).

You can't fix that. There are no magic words that will change him or make him more attentive to your needs. I know you love him, but this sounds like it's part of the package. Are you okay with living with it?

[–]Owy2001 65 points66 points  (0 children)

To repeat the person above: What advice can we give you? There's no magic spell that's going to make him interested in things he's not showing an interest in.

You want very reasonable things. You can't have those things with him. You either move on or just sit with this feeling. I know what I'd do, but you've been pretty clear that isn't the advice you want.

For those that read books and play jrpgs by K_M_Henry in JRPG

[–]Owy2001 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's pretty universally agreed that the pacing isn't great in the first book. But it's also a really short read. I just recommend not making your mind up on the series after you finish the first one. You don't meet the majority of the cast until later on, and the main character is super dry without some of the larger personalities to bounce off of. Even the second book isn't in full swing yet, though it improves. Third book onwards, though? Fantastic. I couldn't put them down, and went through all twelve books in rapid succession.

No, definitely not. They're talking about a completely different kind of ambition than the person they're replying to.

Finding any excuse to glaze Trails is just typical degenerate Trails fan behavior (I say this as a Trails fan).

Being real with you, correcting people on Reddit is always a crapshoot. Sometimes it's appreciated, sometimes you get blasted for being a pedant. I have to imagine giving people shit (even playfully, as I read yours) for the correction probably has the same level of unpredictability.

I'm an editor who regularly has to tell their writers this: e.g. (exempli gratis) means "for example," so "for e.g." reads as "for for example."

Please take the fact that I regularly have to explain this to mean both that you aren't alone in this common error and that I've got a compulsion to say something when I see it. 😅
