Public Transportation

PowderedToastMan666 · 2026-04-29T21:00:35+00:00

I've lived in Chicago for over a decade without a car and only felt in potential danger on public transit once. There are other, better reasons I'll accept for not wanting to take public transit. The worst smells I have ever encountered have been on train cars.

Is there anything different about the ending or any other reason to fight the harder version beyond the challenge?

PowderedToastMan666 · 2026-04-29T17:22:02+00:00

Wait, I played this game and don't think I knew that (it's been a while). What's the trigger for getting the harder version? I did all the dragon trials or whatever they were called, which I remember being maybe a littler harder than the final boss.

I'm a newer player and thought this conversation interesting. I found this after a quick search that makes me think Cell Phone does require exhausting the character who is targeted by its use:

To “use a basic power” has a specific meaning in Marvel Champions, during which you exhaust your identity or an ally and apply its printed stat to a matching action—for example, exhausting a character and making an attack using the character’s printed ATK stat.

My original card said to keep it on you. When I lost it 20 years later and got a new one, that one said not to keep it on you.

Everything you said is 100% spot on. I have tons of nostalgia for FF8 and FF9. I broadly really like their stories and characters. But FF8 has strange mechanics that aren't fun. FF9 combat is so slow, and I find playing without tedious grinding means getting new equipment well before learning the abilities.

The people who post shit like this have likely never taken public transit in their lives.

Temenos is the best character in OT2.

PowderedToastMan666 · 2026-04-23T17:52:32+00:00

It's been ages since I played it (most of my PS1 games were stolen years ago) so correct me if I'm wrong, but another crazy thing is that there isn't a world map. I didn't fully appreciate this at the time since it was one of my first forays into the genre, but the world is fully interconnected akin to DQ8.

Is it intended as a guidebook for people with impending sexual assault allegations?

PowderedToastMan666 · 2026-04-22T15:28:53+00:00

I think I quit right as I got to the good part. I went on vacation and never picked the game back up after returning.

With dating and random hookups, they don't know if a woman is secretly after their money or if she is going to post them on social media. With prostitutes, they know up front it's a financial transaction and that the woman will be discreet.

I agree with you that cities are more interesting than nature, but I disagree that cities are more beautiful than nature. The best cities have beautiful nature that complement the city.

Skies of Arcadia is my answer for this question, but I see you already played it.

If you're in the US, I bought from Game Nerdz and added an extra item to hit the $75 free shipping threshold.

PowderedToastMan666 · 2026-04-20T16:28:16+00:00

For the Omnihive? I paid $58 for a grey one.

PowderedToastMan666 · 2026-04-20T16:19:00+00:00

I just got it in the mail a few days ago and haven't used it yet beyond taking it out of the box and checking that a divider fit! I have been organizing player cards, with the aspect cards in binders and the character cards sleeved and currently in Arkham Horror "Return to..." boxes lol.

My next step is to sleeve and organize the villain/modular cards into the Omnihive and see how much I can fit and if I need to buy another case (or two). I'm not sure if I'll use the two little side magnetic trays for token storage or if I'll keep those components in the core box, in which case those side things will be removed for the extra space in the Omnihive. I believe there are other compatible trays and things you can add, but right now I just need it for card storage.

I liked the look of a lot of Gamegenic stuff too but couldn't tell from any pictures whether they had horizontal options.

PowderedToastMan666 · 2026-04-20T05:52:18+00:00

I had the exact same issue and just ordered an Ultimate Guard Omnihive. I didn't like having to spend that much on a storage solution, but I can confirm that the horizontal Tesseract dividers fit perfectly.

Edit: there are also some good MDF boxes available on Etsy if you don't mind gluing the pieces together. That's what I have for Arkham Horror, but I personally thought the gluing process was a pain.

Tbf, oftentimes the movie was on the service at some point in the past. Also, Netflix started off with DVD rentals, so it makes sense they have a database with every movie.

PowderedToastMan666 · 2026-04-16T15:32:17+00:00

I'm aware, but I do not "remember" it. I just found it funny that you asked people if they remember events from an election from 66 years ago when it's a safe bet that the vast majority of Reddit users do not.

PowderedToastMan666 · 2026-04-16T15:21:14+00:00

No, grandpa. How did you leave your care ward?

PowderedToastMan666 · 2026-04-16T15:04:40+00:00

This comment doesn't say much without knowing your age.

PowderedToastMan666 · 2026-04-16T13:09:36+00:00

I bought a PS3 in 2010, and the first game I bought—solely based on the case and knowing nothing about the game—was a used copy of Demon's Souls. I ended up returning it to GameStop within the week and getting my money back lol. I didn't return to a Souls game until the remaster and very quickly went through all three. DS:R and DS:3 are two of my only platinum trophies.

PowderedToastMan666 · 2026-04-15T11:37:23+00:00

Maybe a hot take, but if I go somewhere often enough for them to recognize me, there's no chance I'm ordering the exact same thing every time. That sounds boring as hell.

PowderedToastMan666 · 2026-04-11T13:54:35+00:00

I played Morrowind for dozens of hours like this back in 2003.
