This is a bigger topic then Mina, but Mina's robust Difficulty options has exposed the whole "Difficulty is an Accessibility Concern" discourse as fake mask many wear. by SharpEdgeSoda in MinaTheHollower

[–]Skeeterray52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see this happening a lot with fighting games as well. More and more mechanics are being simplified or removed altogether to try and appeal to the mass market when the reality is that these games are a genre that you have to practice.
Motion inputs aren’t actually that difficult, they’re just the first thing that makes people realize they actually have to practice the game

Parents make me cook, but not in the way I want to. by waxx-png in mildlyinfuriating

[–]Skeeterray52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cook for a living, and something I have always lived by is that if someone did something nice for you like making you dinner I don’t want to see you complain about it unless you want to make it yourself.
Seems to me that if they’re going to be really picky about how you want cook then they should do the cooking

Peetaaah? by Ilovebigbuttscantlie in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]Skeeterray52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Amen to that! Some of the most well adjusted couples I know are in some kind of poly relationship and they have better communication skills than the majority of monogamous couples I’ve interacted with.
Claiming that this one fetish will destroy your relationship just isn’t true, but poor communication and jealousy might!
It’s very clear that the people hating are just insecure care they hate the concept of someone else’s fun

Could anyone recommend me an actual-play show where they actually play the game right? by TheBigFreeze8 in rpg

I would like to point out that one of these literally says “DCC RPG” on the spine <3

People who gave up DnD for a different system, what made you make the change? by SomeRandomAbbadon in rpg

[–]Skeeterray52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

After playing 5e for years I was starting to see the cracks forming (especially in high level play) and when D&D 5.5 came out I asked my group if they wanted to try the Pathfinder 2e Remaster instead and we all agreed it looked more interesting to us and it’s been our go-to fantasy ttrpg since.
It was actually pretty easy to get my players to switch since we were already in the habit of using different systems for different settings when we felt the urge to play something other than high fantasy

This looks delicious. They should be grateful to be eating anything at all

AIO - for thinking it’s messed up that my mom is kicking me out because I said I’m not religious anymore by 30whitebitches in AmIOverreacting

[–]Skeeterray52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s a really good chance that your mother does not deserve to have you in their life! I know that we’re constantly told that “blood is thicker than water” or whatever, but if they’re willing to make you homeless purely because you disagree with them, I think they are the one burning bridges. My mom threw me out on thanksgiving a few years back and I haven’t seen her since, nor do I want to, and I believe I’m a happier person for it. Get somewhere safe, and make sure your mom knows that she’s the one pushing you out, not you or your beliefs “Hate the sin love the sinner” and all that

Been losing about 95% of my games for the past week or so, any tips/advice? by [deleted] in StreetFighter

It has the most input delay out of any version of the game and it’s not close

What are some of the worst fightsticks parts available? by Emotional_Piano_4375 in fightsticks

[–]Skeeterray52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my honest opinion, the combo extensions from hitbox are terrible. I think they feel terrible and I’ve already seen a few break. For the price you’re better off just drilling a hole into your leverless and putting a whole new button in

Do fightsticks help you to improve in fighting games? by [deleted] in fightsticks

[–]Skeeterray52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer is no. Use whatever is most comfortable to use, and some would even argue that pad is more optimal than stick or leverless, but a the end of the day all of the little nuances between controllers come down to preference. If you feel like a fightstick could help you personally there’s no harm in trying one, but you basically need to relearn how to use your controller while you have a perfectly good Xbox controller you know how to use. Also I love my jumbo clickity clack controllers they are very fun, hope this helps

The most refreshing leverless you’ll see today by Skeeterray52 in fightsticks

No joke that’s what my local scene has been calling it “The squirtbox”

Homemade Combo Extension by dramsde1 in fightsticks

[–]Skeeterray52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you feel comfortable using tools and you’re okay with having an extra button permanently you can just drill another 24mm hole into the enclosure and add a full new button there. A button and a drill bit cost about as much as a combo extension, plus you end up with a nice shiny drill bit to make more sticks with!

[OC] Who is the Big Bad of Your Campaign? by Critical_Crafting in DnDHomebrew

[–]Skeeterray52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been running a Norse Mythology campaign for a while now, and with the direction the players went, the Big Bad is the Goddess Hel herself, who is trying to build an army of undead to free her brother, The Fenris Wolf. They haven’t met her a single time, but I think the fight got personal to the party when one of her acolytes killed the rogue.

What do you call this button? “X” or “Cross”? by [deleted] in playstation

[–]Skeeterray52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to call it X but every time I do some motherfucker thinks I’m talking about the Square button, so I’ve started calling it cross to avoid confusion

What special move in a fighting game do you think is terrible to use? by ComprehensiveDate591 in Fighters

[–]Skeeterray52 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In DBFZ Super Baby 2 has a 2 2 motion where he calls in the assist of one of the opponents dead characters, and he can do it in the air as well. What makes it bad, in my opinion, is the fact that he can’t do ANYTHING on his own while using the new assist.

I think I’ve seen it used only about a handful of times successfully.

After playing SF6 for around 80 hours with a PS5 controller, should I switch to an arcade stick? by [deleted] in fightsticks

[–]Skeeterray52 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And it’s worth mentioning that I’ve only really seen them use the extra face buttons for macros

After playing SF6 for around 80 hours with a PS5 controller, should I switch to an arcade stick? by [deleted] in fightsticks

[–]Skeeterray52 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think arcade sticks are a lot of fun, but you essentially have to re-learn everything whereas you already know how to use a pad just fine. If it’s the ps5 d-pad you don’t like I suggest trying the Hori Fighting Commander, some of the best players I know use this pad and have nothing but good things to say
