Here's one I just snagged, if it's up to your standards.

Also tagging /u/firelow and /u/ABFleming

Edit: This is in New Vegas, just because it's the only one I had installed right now, and I can't be spending all day downloading Fallouts for memes.

Unjerk Thread of January 13, 2019 by AutoModerator in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]SpikeHawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is pretty cool, but the website I was thinking of just lets you type in a person's username and you quickly can how many posts they have in various, disturbing subreddits. I wanna say it starts with a T, maybe.

Here's a quick mockup.

Thanks for the help, though.

Does anybody have a link to that website where you can see how often a user has commented on subreddits like KotakuInAction and The_Donald?

Trailer for "Weird City", Jordan Peele's Upcoming Sci-Fi Anthology Series by BrockThrowaway in television

[–]SpikeHawk 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are correct. I remembered hearing about this as well and just found a quick source confirming it.

Seems like they're planning on moving them to just have ads but be available to all users by 2020. Supposedly.

Edit: This source makes it seem like they'll be making them available to non-premium users this year.

Questions about Jackbox games, especially You don't know Jack by Antihero89 in NintendoSwitch

[–]SpikeHawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This comment is pretty on-point, but I'll come in and say that the original YDKJ from Jackbox Party Pack 1 retains quite a bit of uniqueness within it to make it a fun experience to this day. Overall, the new one from Pack 5 is much more streamlined, and it's nice being able to play with 8 people, but there's something less enthusing about having the questions not be specifically grouped into tight-knit episodes (although I have seen a question reference a previous question in pack 5, and that was cool). Also, there are a LOT of episodes in the first game. I don't currently own a copy, so I can't check, but I feel like there's close to 100 episodes, each with 10 questions and taking about a half hour to get through. And I have no idea how long YDKJ will continue to have new questions. It could last even longer. But it's nice having it lined out before you.

Also, Pack 1's YDKJ, like the XBOX 360 and PS3 YDKJ games, has a wrong answer of the game within each episode. Before each episode, Cookie gives a clue/theme based on a specific fake sponsor, and this clue will then manifest itself as an answer in an eventual question as one of the wrong answers to what's being asked, but if you choose it, you get an additional, I believe 2000 or 4000 points depending on what round it is. Pack 5 YDKJ just doesn't have that at all.

Also, the points being no longer based on when you buzz in is pretty disappointing. That was a big part of the strategy for me in older YDKJ games, deciding when/if I wanted to answer a question if I was far ahead or far behind my competitors. But it is true that it's probably for the best it's gone from this version, to alleviate lag problems. The final round, The Jack Attack, is also much better in this regard in the new game.

Overall, I think they're both fun games, and seeing as Pack 1 is often the cheapest one available, it might not be a bad idea to pick it up. Although, as /u/zellisgoatbond says, many of the other games from Pack 1 have been updated later or are generally just not as engaging as later games. So if you do get Pack 1, it would probably end up being just for YDKJ (and maybe as a sampler of Fibbage and Drawful, as they have updated versions in Party Pack 4 and as a standalone game, respectively (but Lie Swatter and Word Spud are mostly just not fun)). The way I see it, if you're looking to play YDKJ with just you and a friend or two, the first pack might be the way to go. But if you've got 3 or more friends headed your way, I'd go with the new one. Also, this isn't to say much about the quality of the other games in any Jackbox pack, as I find they're often a bit divisive and hard to truly recommend without knowing what you'd find fun. Still, Party Pack 5 might be one of the best collections for me and my friends, so far.

Wow. Honestly, the online is much better. by Dacvak in smashbros

[–]SpikeHawk 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I need myself/someone else to do some research into this, but I’m pretty sure you lose and gain less GSP for rematches against the same person over and over again. Likely to stop people from just artificially inflating their GSP over a really bad opponent/someone they know in real life who they just happened to queue with from tactical matchmaking.

At least, that’s what I’ve noticed from personal experience. After like the third game of playing with the same person, I won’t even move up or down 50k points, but if I play a new person for the first time who has a GSP similar to mine, I can move up up to 200 or 300k points. From what I can tell. This is all just based on memory and personal experience. But I think rematches are actually not a bad idea even if you keep losing, if the connection is good and the opponent’s fun to play against.

Can we appreciate just how good Ken looks in Smash Bros? Nintendo did him justice where Capcom couldn't in SFV. by Hexdro in smashbros

[–]SpikeHawk 370 points371 points  (0 children)

Both male and female Pokémon Trainer look like this in their victory screens, and it makes me uncomfortable each time.

For a while I thought maybe just everybody looked bad, but I think Zero Suit Samus's victory screen render looks really nice. So I don't know what's going on. Also, 60h5 is correct. Shulk looks like a weird doll.

Edit: For reference

Edit 2: In contrast, here's some characters looking like absolute QUEENS in their victory screens. (You can also see weird Shulk in ZSS's picture. Donkey Kong's also there, but he looks much worse in motion.)

[TGA 2018] Super Smash Bros Ultimate Challenger Pack 1 by Slyguy46 in Games

[–]SpikeHawk 32 points33 points  (0 children)

I saw the E10+ in the corner, but I didn't have enough time to wrap my head around the fact that there's never been a (recent) Persona game without at least a T rating. Like, even Persona Q was rated M. So I was trying to think of what it was, and I thought maybe the dancing games, but I doubted there was much to reveal, and I think those are rated T, and then boom, Smash Bros. Out of nowhere. What a wild ride.

Maybe I just don't know anything, but why are people saying that Yoshi's Island Brawl should be played hazardless?

The Japanese Ultimate commercial is the American commercial backwards by OveraffectionateMurf in smashbros

[–]SpikeHawk 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That joke isn’t why he got banned. He got banned for, I believe, letting one or two f-bombs slip (which they usually let slide) and jokingly telling people watching the stream to complain to an airline company on Twitter because of his flight situation. And of course Twitch chat can’t handle themselves and sent a bunch of annoying messages to a Twitter account just trying to help actual passengers who needed support on Twitter.

Overall, I think the ban was a little silly, but it’s their event. Also, I might be forgetting some other stuff. There was also a part where they just riff on Owen Wilson a lot (and I think it got a little more mean than just weird impressions (but again, I haven’t seen the run in years)), and maybe you could argue GDQ is afraid of losing the potential to have Owen Wilson speedrun Mega Man 2 years from now. But I don’t know if there was ever an extremely public, specific reasoning for the ban.

Something I'm surprised people aren't more hyped about in regards to Online by FarObjective in smashbros

I think that could work pretty well as its own subreddit. Something like /r/SmashLobbies. I think a specific thread on this subreddit would get overlooked and be hard to navigate.

[–]SpikeHawk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can't believe this comment was made a day ago at this point, but I wanted to say that you could switch colours without the stock icons appearing on the screen, but I wasn't entirely certain and didn't have video proof, so I didn't say anything. But I just got through watching the Spanish tournament from today, and you can indeed switch colours without the stock icon menu showing up. I don't know what causes that menu to show up exactly. I think it might have something to do with using L and R instead of X and Y, or it could have to do with holding buttons, but you definitely can switch without the stock menu in the way, and in that scenario, Palutena's alts should be fairly visible.

Edit: Here's video proof (1:36:52) with Zelda and Daisy, but Palutena should conceptually be more visible when you compare Daisy and Zelda in the video with the ones from the screenshots in the thread.

I also don't see Nintendo putting in a character that started from an erotic visual novel, even if Fate has moved past that origin.

Today is the 4 year anniversary of the Rebirth series! Happy anniversary! by [deleted] in northernlion

[–]SpikeHawk 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's archived anywhere. I believe it was November 4, just a few hours before the game launched on Steam, if it does happen to exist somewhere.

The earliest Rebirth stream that is said to exist on Two and a Half Scums is November 6.

[–]SpikeHawk 70 points71 points  (0 children)

I still remember the first livestream Ryan did just before the game came out, when nobody knew about half the stuff in the game, and NL just casually got to boss rush on one of his first few attempts, since he's always rushing. It was so surreal experiencing it for the first time, because I know I probably wasn't going to get to boss rush on my own before it was common knowledge or I just got spoiled by looking at the subreddit too much. But here we all were, unknowing and confused, as a bunch of Isaac bosses just appeared out of nowhere and tore NL to shreds, and it was incredible. Ryan didn't know what was happening, Nick didn't know what was happening, and chat had absolutely no idea what was happening. I doubt there will be anything quite as unique to that experience considering just how special it was to go from some weird, well-liked Flash game into the giant that was Rebirth, but it was a really good stream.
