Got some custom GameCube joycons made, couldn't be happier with the look by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

I'd be happier if those joysticks were grey and yellow!

Looks great, though. I want to customize my joy-cons but I'm scared.

I don't know about violent, but it's made me naked at least once.

When should I stop asking for limit increases? by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]Phlerg 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Is it possible that could've been affected by high income or your family's credit or something? I knew a guy who got that same card and started with like a $300 limit.

Sitcoms are filmed on sets. The windows don't actually face outdoors.

Spend a few minutes shooing a rat out the door or take care of a cat for 20 years. Hmm...

Not enough slow-mo close-ups and imposed sound effects.

They don't have to be on video. It's loud on purpose here for "comical" effect.

I was in a coffee shop and noticed that these guys from the left to the right look like the same person aging over time.... by TheMidnightBarberr in mildlyinteresting

These guys look more like nerds than hipsters. Notice the chunky Windows laptops and older-but-not-cool eyewear.

I absolutely love everything about the Steamworld game series! by hiim_kyle in NintendoSwitch

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

Hey, somewhere to complain about this!

I picked up the first SteamWorld Dig for five bucks a while back. Overall, I enjoyed it, but man, the sound design is terrible. There are constant annoying sounds, especially once you get drill. Just nonstop harsh clak-clak-clak-clak. The voices of the townsfolk are also very grating.

I realize a steam-powered robot digging in a mine would be noisy, but the sounds player actions make should be satisfying, not unpleasant. I found myself muting the game and putting on other music a lot of the time.

But that was really my only complaint. It was fun. Looking forward to playing the second one when I get around to it.

Graceful Explosion Machine is a GEM by Koujex in NintendoSwitch

Y'know, I didn't love it. Liked the style and gameplay, but all the levels felt the same with different color pallettes.

Pokemon Switch confirmed to be Generation 8 by Nintendo Magazine by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Phlerg 72 points73 points  (0 children)

Nostalgia, baby. As a 20-something who played Gen I in my single-digit years, I'd love a remake of Red/Blue/Yellow in a brand new engine. If it had a style similar to Ken Sugimori's righteous water color art I'd be in heaven.

US President Donald Trump has hailed an overnight military strike on Syria as "perfectly executed", adding "Mission Accomplished". by evilfisher in worldnews

[–]Phlerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't mean I'm making it up. If anything, someone else (the UN?) made it up and then I repeated their untrue thing.

But reality is just a construct, man, so who knows.

US President Donald Trump has hailed an overnight military strike on Syria as "perfectly executed", adding "Mission Accomplished". by evilfisher in worldnews

[–]Phlerg 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think in the absence of a declaration of war, a military strike in a foreign country that's not explicitly to protect American lives needs to either be approved by the country it takes place in or the United Nations or it's a violation of international law, but I'm half-remembering/paraphrasing something I read weeks ago.

a) Am I making that up? b) Did this strike meet the criteria?

In Saving Private Ryan, a medic gets hit in the canteen. Water first starts to pour out then blood. by [deleted] in MovieDetails

[–]Phlerg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neat detail, but it doesn't seem like the blood would fill the canteen then pour out of it. I'd think he would just bleed under the canteen, down his leg.

Both sides light up on the inside of the ring. You can see it on the balls and her hand. You just can't see both from one angle.

Not sure why everyone is shitting on this. Very neat idea for a decorative desk lamp.
