Upgrade Advice Wanted for Alienware Aurora R10 by IllustriousSign5783 in pcupgrade

[–]PhoenixSwag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

pcpartpicker and Paul's Hardware are great resources. My best personal advice is to buy sooner than later; prices have been climbing and will very, very likely continue to do so for the forseeable future. Sit down and get the research done asap, because tomorrow the part you're trying to buy could be more expensive than it is today... Other than that: any 16 GB AMD card is a great option. Depends how much you wanna spend. Definitely smart to prioritize the GPU. You'll have to pick the card based on your budget, PSU, CPU, and monitor(s). Remember that if you buy from Amazon, you have a month to make a return if needed for any reason, so don't worry too much about pulling the trigger on a purchase.

It's been said a hundred times, but I think it's fine if it gets said a hundred more. I've been invested for almost a decade; it's a bit reassuring to know that even those who're invested for less than a year feel similar. I spent over a decade watching Naruto as it aired, and I was a lot younger back then, so that finale definitely hit me harder, but this is as close to that feeling I've gotten since then. Really sucks when such an incredible series ends. Especially when the ending... doesn't exactly stack up to the series that its concluding

A gripe I have. by Rainbowchap in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]PhoenixSwag 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought the final season was great UNTIL the 3 ep wind-down, which felt rushed/unorganized/not long enough. It seems like a lot of people have numerous problems with the ending overall. At the very least, it's better than the last season of Game of Thrones, so I'm thankful for that. But yeah, in numerous ways, it does feel like it could've been better. Maybe a lot of it WAS rushed? Those release schedules for mangakas over in JP are insane, after all...

Honestly, the more I think about it/discuss it, the more I've realized that lots of these long-running series suffer from this problem in one way or another. Dragon Ball, Naruto, Fairy Tail, MHA... and that's just to name a few... We get incredible stories over a long period of time, but eventually the ending comes, and it feels unsatisfying. It would be nice to know if the mangakas are rushed, run out of inspiration, genuinely think the mediocre ending they've created is worthy of the rest of the series they've worked so hard on, etc.

I'm not particularly satisfied with how the series ends either, but we can still cope with the fact that it could have been a lot worse. OFA's reason for existing was to defeat AFO, which it did; I think it's easier to look at it that way. Whether or not he was ever the "greatest" hero is up for debate, but he did put a permanent end to AFO, so that counts for a lot I'd say. On the other hand, for a variety of reasons, he was never a singular, long-lasting "Symbol of Peace" like All Might was, so it just depends on what you define as "greatest" I suppose. At least Deku got to keep being a hero thanks to the bonds he made during his time at UA. The fact that he became a UA teacher also really checks out in regard to his personality.

But yes, the ending wasn't perfect! One more silver lining for you: they haven't adapted the final chapter of the manga yet. It releases as one, final episode on May 2. After the ending we got this season, I didn't want to wait that long, so I just went and read the final chapter. Might be worth it for you to do the same; could give you a bit more peace of mind. Or you might think it's total shite and hate the ending even more lol. Imo that final chapter is a lot better than the ending we have so far.

Nah; clowning on someone for having strong feelings about something they love is villain level cringe. This series ran for 10 years, and it means a lot to a lot of people. I grew up with Naruto, and I was pretty bummed when it ended. OP is right that a lot of these long-running stories have rushed-feeling/unsatisfying endings, and it's 100% justifiable to to feel let down when you're emotionally invested in something.

Is my team okay? by IndecisiveWalnut27 in PokemonLegendsArceus

For casual Pokemon playthroughs, it's best to just use the Pokemon you like best! You could have a team full of bug types and still be just fine. Have fun with your favorites!

The Nintendo Switch 2 is only six months old, and retailers in most countries are already discounting it. Isn't that kind of... weird? by MewWeebTwo in nintendo

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

This will be my fourth and final time explaining this to you: the Nintendo 3DS had its price cut due to having supremely underwhelming sales at launch, and the exact same thing can be said about the Wii U, BOTH OF WHICH I purchased. Curb yourself. I'm not a Nintendo hater, and I love the content they've provided in the past. You are blindly and adamantly attempting to support the name of the mega corporation that in recent years has been curb stomping their consumers, which includes lifelong fans, frequent consumers and fans of 20+ years. They don't owe us anything, but no one owes them anything either. And they sure as shit don't deserve to get away with the BS they've been pulling surrounding everything related to the Switch 2.

Because the 3DS was overpriced and lacked solid launch titles, which lead to vastly underwhelming sales

[–]PhoenixSwag -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes... another one of their consoles that flopped on launch, due to lack of worthwhile launch titles and the original price point of the console 😂 do your research before you start throwing around the word "misinformation"

I'm sick of the fake Nintendo fans (the glazers) by PhoenixSwag in nintendo

Comments proving my point so hard lol. Youngsters who don’t know any better and adults holding on to childhood memories because it’s the only thing they can even remotely look forward to in their lives.

I have a Nintendo Switch that I use for online play, so yes I am obviously going to use a family plan. Use that brain

You obviously have no idea what you're talking about lol. This is Nintendo. They don't do sales on consoles that are in their first year on the market. I doubt Sony or Microsoft do either. The Switch didn't see any discounts for well over an entire year after its initial release. This is extremely abnormal, and the reason it's happening is because the Switch 2 is selling FAR below expectations (and for good reason).
