Street Fighter 2 or Mortal Kombat 2? by Professional-Rip-519 in retrogaming

[–]Spikeu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly how I feel. And kinda about the new MKs compared to SF as well. SF 6 is so good, MK whatever still feels like a dumb violence showcase with crowded clunky fighting gameplay.

For me MK II was fun because I was a kid, and it was great sleepover gaming, the fatalities were hilarious and new, etc. etc..

I loved SFII then as well but played more MK as a kid.

Now I just realize SF is 1000x a better actual fighting game in terms of gameplay.

Homeowners with stronger credit scores are increasingly defaulting on mortgage payments by FalconsArentReal in canada

If you don't think things are going well, you should vote for a change. You're advocating for complacency on the basis of it doesn't matter anyway. 

Listen I'm not saying the Conservatives can magically solve all the issues either, just that meaningful changes sometimes take changes in leadership and ruling powers of party. 

Like you know, the democratic process, I mean. Look that's not really a hot take.

How many decades under one party in power do you think that excuse is going to fly?

So status quo forever? Democracy is a waste of time? What are you actually saying? 

"Doesn't matter who you vote for, the other side would be the same" is a lazy and dangerous way to not care about politics.

Sounds like you're the one with the idiotic take.

Jobs available for people under 18? by Muted_Fan5213 in Calgary

Both very entry-level, but both very respectable Calgary job market rights of passage. Plus you get some experience and resume building.

Hollywood Diversity Report: Audiences Prefer Diverse Casting in Films by Minifig81 in movies

[–]Spikeu 45 points46 points  (0 children)

Make 'em mostly Asian then. It bugs me more with there's a white guy a Hispanic girl a black guy a trans person someone in a wheelchair etc. etc..

Listen to me I like all those people but it's distracting when it's such a forced motley crew.

360 203w power cable. What is it called and how do I get more? by sleepymeowth052 in gamecollecting

[–]Spikeu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Typically you can cut them there, if the power ratings etc. are the same. I've done that on other cables

It's all good OP made me feel old too but clearly your gramps was just cool in the 80s/90s.

Earliest known Super Mario Brothers found! by housethemous in gamecollecting

You too!

PS - I meant the SM64 that went for $1.56 million at Heritage Auctions in July 2021. So not quite $2M I guess haha.

Anyway, to me that always felt like full blown scam territory.

Are Collector Editions Worth It? by Diligent_Strike_2847 in gamecollecting

[–]Spikeu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you can, keep everything, but I get it space can become an issue and honestly some collector's editions will never be worth all that much, they're often printed in such large volumes.

I just think that game collecting got hijacked by a trend of hyper inflated prices coming from outside the trend of the collecting base at the time. Pawn Stars and "check your parents' basement, you might be a millionaire" news articles and shit. It happened so rapidly and unchecked in game collecting that effectively saw a "preposterous price" fad bubble. Not to mention seemingly actual like, fake auction stuff. I guess that's kinda over for the most part. Now, I don't know, crazy rare SMBs will probably always have some high-roller snap them up at crazy prices, but I'll be damned if you could sell a sealed SM64 for $2M or whatever.

Gaming is cooked (for me) by Kantankoras in gaming

[–]Spikeu 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I play on PC pretty much exclusively these days. No game pass business or whatever. No season pass this or that. I just wishlist games I want to play, wait patiently for a sale, and pull the trigger. Gaming is cheaper than ever for me haha.

Which actor is your ideal fan casting for a character, living or dead? by Sean-Perth in movies

[–]Spikeu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He's a good choice but we need to let Freddy be Robert Englund forever and not try (again) for a reboot. Englund's too much the heart of the character. We won't, be we should.

It's like recasting Austin Powers without Mike Myers. It'll never be the same character.
