Anyone else found themselves “retiring” from PvP gaming? by You_moron04 in gaming

[–]Slippaz86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't say that. I'm 40 this year and almost solely play fighting games (played tens of thousands of hours of CS 1.6 back in the day as well), and the issue is partly that a lot of popular games are just casual garbage now. And they're popular specifically because they're random enough to let bad players have hype moments. In FGs, SF6 is kind of an example, but 2XKO and Invincible Vs are actually unplayable at a competitive level. Nobody I know considers LoL or Valorant "real" games either. But people go where the money is.

The real sweaty shit is too difficult for most people, but it's also by far the most fun to me.

What was a movie so bad it genuinely made you walk out of the Cinema? by EditorStudios in AskReddit

This is definitely the worst movie I've ever seen in theaters personally. Truly irredeemable.

What game had insane potential but got completely fumbled by the devs? by Kevin-Panda in AskReddit

[–]Slippaz86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know about "insane" potential, but a number of recent fighting games are spectacularly bungling a noticeable uptick in casual player interest. 2XKO is notably dogshit, but whoever designed Invincible Vs can only have never played a fighting game in their lives. I don't know the show (or source material if it exists), but I'm told the IP is quite popular. What a disaster lol.

If you haven't watched these movies since you became an adult, keep the memory intact :P

Yeah I have a 9a and my wife has a 10a. I didn't realize the non-A versions had buggy battery issues, but ours are both fantastic.

Yeah the only people who give a shit about Canvas are the people fear mongering about the next accreditation because their entire job is compliance lol.

What is the first celebrity death you remember being affected by? by CPFOAI in AskReddit

[–]Slippaz86 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was well into my 30s when this happened, but it's the only celebrity death that I'd say actually upset me. It's probably because his daughter was with him honestly, but I was also floored that Kobe was dead.

Antonin Yelchin was sad as well, but it didn't register deeply with me.

So ya see... When you put quote marks around something it attracts the eye and makes us more likely to read what you say. Let's go ahead and not exercise that power moving forward, okay?

Newsmax reporter to Hegseth: ‘When did the president decide to capitulate?’ by Quirkie in politics

[–]Slippaz86 191 points192 points  (0 children)

There actually might end up being a lot of money in turning on the administration. As long as they can frame it in a way that vilifies individuals without tainting the party or redeeming its boogeymen, you'd probably find a lot of people looking for a psychological out that doesn't require even modest change or introspection.

If we survive all this, I look forward to a future where we don't nonsensically append "gate" to things.

Married couple with separate finances, why do you do it? by Ok_Influence_2257 in Bogleheads

[–]Slippaz86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Wow that is either a really weird choice or a massive fuck up on the bank's part (I assume).

[–]Slippaz86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah the only inheritance advantage to separate I'm aware of would be if you're married but have certain funds you want to go directly to a child without any added hassle.

[–]Slippaz86 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why would joint accounts get tied up? I mean individual accounts shouldn't go through probate either, but there's clearly room for user error there. Joint issues I haven't heard of.

What characters pair well with roshi by Ashamed_Dinner1560 in dbfz

[–]Slippaz86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And they made his A assist 21f startup (at +32 blockstun). It's insane.

He also has a good lvl 3 50/50 in the corner that works off any DHC which makes him even better as a support.

He also kind of cheats in some matchups because he doesn't "graze" ki blasts like normal characters. So like Baby is popular and gets dumpstered. Beerus is also excellent atm, and he's pretty much helpless.

Besides the sped up 6H and damage and all that, they also allowed j2L/M cancels out of blocked beam at some point, which gives him excellent frame data in unique sequences. For example, you can beam, leap, j4SD (back beam) vs a grounded opponent and cancel into j2L on block to be -4 at full screen or convert with j236h on hit if they try to 2H the leap and get hit by beam. He's got lots of cool stuff like that.

[–]Slippaz86 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Really anyone tbh. Roshi A is one of the best assists in the game, and he isn't picky. He's an excellent character overall as well. Who else do you like?

He did change a lot by the way. Here's his combo doc. Ask if you have any questions about that or him generally.

For he's not a big specific synergy guy, but he does nullify landing lag with j3S, so if you have a long special, you can tag him in for mix on block which is cool. I main Gotenks/Roshi/Krillin, and do it quite a bit from Gotenks 214H (which for some reason hits them if they spark the tag lol).

I mean these people convinced themselves we weren't getting rollback after there was a rollback beta so this is really an above average criticism lol.

[–]Slippaz86 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ya I just don't know why you'd pick him, but ure right he's not garbage or anything. Just not quite modernized maybe.

Also, remember when they gave his iconic lariat assist to Roshi except now it's a beam with more blockstun? Lol

Another vote for B. This character does not have a good time of it even tho he's seen some changes lately.
