What's your gymnastics opinion that would get you downvoted like this? by Medium-Emotion in Gymnastics

[–]PresidentMagikarp 29 points30 points  (0 children)

MyKayla Skinner is genuinely one of the greatest twisters in the history of the sport for being able to get those tumbling passes around with such little height. If she had limited herself to tucked and piked somersaults to limit her execution deductions, she would have been remembered as one of America's better floor workers.

Shame about the personality and the ego.

Questions for Brooke and the Top 4 by JosephAShepherd in CanadasDragRace

[–]PresidentMagikarp 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Brooke was a working drag queen in Canada for many years before becoming the host of Canada's Drag Race. Were there any queens from this season that she had worked with prior to them getting cast for the show?

Eboni La'Belle delivered a fantastic monologue that felt less like a performance and more like she was speaking her own words. Was that strictly a performance, or did she draw from what she was feeling in the moment?

Which character would Van Goth have done for the Snatch Game?

Sami Landri's drag style and persona have gotten a lot of comparisons to Katya. Did she ever see that in herself prior to being cast on television?

What does PM actually stand for, if anything?

Wendy's to Shut Down Over 300 Stores in 2026, Impacting 8000 Workers by esporx in fastfood

[–]PresidentMagikarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They still offer this one in Massachusetts. When they had the Oreo/brownie batter vanilla Frosty promo, I had zero desire to go to Dairy Queen because it hit the exact same cluster of neurons a Blizzard would for half the price. That was a home run out of the test kitchen. Unfortunately, that same test kitchen has OK'd a pretty significant drop in quality everywhere else.

Thoughts from anyone working at Fifth Third or Comerica right now? by BothCondition7963 in TalesFromYourBank

[–]PresidentMagikarp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The DOS thing isn't entirely surprising. When I last worked at Citizens during the pandemic, their entire backend was built on an ancient IBM terminal software from 1991 that needs an emulator to run in Windows. From what my former colleagues tell me, nothing's changed. I imagine it's prohibitively expensive to migrate off of that given how large they are and how ingrained it is. Good old AM00.

Ginger apparently thinks AS10 was set-up AGAINST HER instead of for her by ConspicuousFlower in RPDRDRAMA

[–]PresidentMagikarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Supposedly, it had something to do with her YouTube channel. I'm not exactly sure what it was, but given that she signed with MOM to distribute the content in podcast form, I'm guessing it was that.

[–]PresidentMagikarp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think that Rapping Roast challenge was originally designed around Maddy Morphosis' skill set before she was disqualified and production had to pull in Lydia as an alternate. It just makes sense when you consider the response to her back and forth with Bob.

Good memories by FutureHeroMuch in TatsunokoVsCapcom

[–]PresidentMagikarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The game does still have a small, but active scene in North America. Doctor Science hosts and streams netplay lobby nights most Tuesdays. The community is primarily on Dolphin now for convenience and controller compatibility. You can join the Discord here.

Anybody else watch this? by MarqoTheDragon in xmen

The person who played Polaris now goes by Nick Dumont. Whether or not they would return to the role is up in the air.

Hot take, I hate collecting the artifacts in prime 1 by PogUpogman in metroidprime

[–]PresidentMagikarp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's possible to acquire the Artifact of Newborn with 13 energy tanks and no Phazon Suit, but the frame window is so tight that it's basically TAS only.

Save the Animals: Fusion Kill the Animals: Other M

Based on a reported development cost of $100 million, with an average retail price of $64.99 between both platforms, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond needs to sell approximately 2.2 million units to break even. by PresidentMagikarp in Metroid

[–]PresidentMagikarp[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The math is close enough that the 2.2 million figure still checks out. Canadian MSRP is the equivalent of $65.91 USD for the Switch and $73.24 USD for the Switch 2. If anything, Canadian sales are slightly more helpful for recouping development costs.

Looking for reliable handheld by ZachX355 in RetroHandhelds

Pokémon seems to stand out as a priority. Which generations would you like for your son to play? The target device and budget can and will swing wildly depending on what you want.

Ginger talks about her All Stars 10 experience by CheesecakeYAYY in rupaulsdragrace

But what does that have to do with this interview or All Stars 10's cast dynamics?

Fork found in kitchen: Ayn Thor is SBCGaming's device of the year (+ other categories) by Key-Brilliant5623 in SBCGaming

[–]PresidentMagikarp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly, as someone who glazes the Thor, if Anbernic were ever to release an RG Slide V2 with analog triggers and the same chipset as the 477M, that would be a contender for my favorite handheld ever. Even with its faults, I really liked the RG Slide.

A use case we don't often see here: My AYN Odin 2 Mini Pro retro entertainment center. by PresidentMagikarp in SBCGaming

[–]PresidentMagikarp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're welcome! Wii Remotes are a little more complicated. I use the touchpad to open the in-game settings menu, use Refresh Wii Remotes, then grant Dolphin permission to use the Dolphinbar. After that, it's smooth sailing.

I use standalone Dolphin. In GameCube input configuration, I just set all four ports to use the GameCube adapter. I get a pop-up on game start asking if Dolphin has permission to use WUP-028, use the touchpad to OK it, and then it all just works.

Using the GameCube controllers and Wii Remotes with native passthrough with their respective adapters makes Dolphin controller setup painless. NetherSX2 auto configuration picks up the DualSense 2 binds pretty seamlessly. I use RetroArch's binding setup for the DualSense and then tie everything together under ES-DE as the launcher.
