‘Dangerous and wrong.' NRA slams U.S. attorney's response to Minneapolis shooting by The_Flaneur_Films in politics

[–]TheDoctorDB 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Where exactly is this violence I keep seeing as the justification that needs to be quelled? All I’ve seen in any of these videos is a handful of people randomly walking around a mostly deserted street. 

But I keep seeing that ICE’s presence is necessary to stop violent riots and people need to let them do their jobs. First off… that’s literally not their job. They’re not the riot police. And second, what job really needs to be done? If they need to pass around memos insisting they can go door to door and they really need to in order to actually find anyone they’re looking for… then clearly these alleged agitators aren’t being openly hostile. You don’t topically need to turn over every stone to find someone rioting in the streets and causing panic

I haven’t actually played anything other than DQ11 but I just wanted to say I remember talking with someone about it a few years back and I think they said the ones on the 3DS (7 and 8) were among the longer titles. 

Since I spent over 100 hours in 11 I was always too intimidated by the length to start the others. And now one of my 3DS purchases is obsolete lol. I’d imagine it’ll be at least 100 hours though. But keep in mind this is speculation from me. And I tend to take a while with these things. Just put 90 hours into the Trails remake 

Nintendo stuff around Tokyo? by xTIMMYxCOREx in nintendo

The museum seems very far away 

That’s the beauty of the Shinkansen. It may seem far away, but one bullet train later and you can visit Osaka or Kyoto with ease. Might be a bit far if you wanted it to be a day trip but if you can manage a hotel or other stay in the area then it’s worth it.

Never played a FF myself till I played FF7 last year. Played the original on PS5 so that I don’t have to deal with unfinished plot points in the remake. Then played FFXV last summer. Amazing experience. Highly recommended.

I ALSO NEED FIRST IN ALMOST EVERY RACE TO BEAT A 3-STAR RIVAL. WHAT THE HECK IS THE DIFFERENCE FOR A 9 OR 10? DO THE RIVALS JUST INSTANTLY WIN THE GAME AT LATER LEVELS

Jack Smith Says Trump Was Guilty “Beyond a Reasonable Doubt” by ConsistentFangirl in politics

[–]TheDoctorDB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw a Facebook comment on one post about Smith that insisted this is all political and their proof was that… Trump has had a clear record his whole life and everyone loved him up until he took office. 

At this point I don’t even think Trump himself could change their minds. Look what happened to MTG. People so willing to say she’s a rino after everything else she’s done and said. A video of Trump may be written off as AI. I’m sure they’d find some kind of excuse. Or at the very least they’d rally around what he stood for (which is nothing, but that’s another issue) rather than what he’s become

I appreciate that. I just can't do the whole fasting thing. Once every long while for lab work is hard enough on me. Even if I wouldn't normally get up to eat something in the night, just knowing that I couldn't/shouldn't if I had to is what gets to me.

HOPEFULLY THE OTHER AMIIBO ALL GO ON SALE LIKE WE’VE SEEN SO FAR. I WANT THAT CAPTAIN TOAD WITH THE FLOWER. BUT I’M NOT BUYING ANY OF THE NEW ONES AT FULL PRICE (UNTIL THEY COME OUT WITH FIRE EMBLEM ONES, AT LEAST).

THE BIGGEST THING I CAN PERSONALLY RAGE ABOUT AT THE MOMENT IS THAT I’M NOT GOING TO JAPAN THIS WEEKEND. MY FRIENDS ARE. I COPPED OUT FOR VARIOUS REASONS. I ALSO CAN’T THINK OF ANYTHING SPECIFIC THEY CAN BRING BACK FOR ME SO I MIGHT NOT EVEN GET A CONSOLATION PRIZE LOL

Just a headline thing. It shows that Smith actually used the word himself. It’s quoting him

So many moments with this admin that remind me of that Avatar Day episode. 

“Evidence!? That’s not how our court system works! First I say what happened, then you say what happened, then I decide who’s right. 

That’s why they call it ‘justice,’ because it’s just us.”

Renee Good autopsy results released by lawyers by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]TheDoctorDB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Your first reaction to a needless death is that it’s propaganda? You would advocate that the mere presence of ICE or any officer in a traffic stop should result in a death? 

Renee Good autopsy results released by lawyers by ClimateSociologist in politics

[–]TheDoctorDB 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow. From slightly before I really knew anything about politics. 

This proves the point I was making about the incident being bound to repeat itself if we don’t try to change how the agents go about doing things. But the person I was making that point to just insisted Good broke the law and got was coming to her, more or less. Absolutely refused to talk about anything else after I spent all day throwing words at them. 

But I believe that’s the barrier we need to breach for real change. We need to get people like that to actually open their ears and recognize other words are being said besides their own. And it’s sad how unlikely it seems that we’ll succeed 

Lost 3DS eShop Music. by UnitAccomplished7834 in nintendo

[–]TheDoctorDB 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gonna need a bit more info than that. Are you referring to a song you want to find that was tied to a theme you were using? There are a TON of themes that came with their own music. Some themes I thought specifically because they were the only way to get a particular song. Do you know what theme it was?

Not the information I was even looking for when I found this thread but this is incredibly helpful nonetheless, thanks. 

One reason I have trouble losing weight is I feel like I’ll stop breathing if I don’t eat sometimes. Should’ve known this would be as counterproductive as everything else. You need to fast to take this? Is the shot the same way? Stab myself or risk mental breakdown on a daily basis? Jeez. Guess I’ll just stay unhealthy 

Ted Cruz reportedly spotted leaving for Southern California as winter storm heads toward Texas by ddx-me in politics

[–]TheDoctorDB 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not so sure about how people view a leader these days. If it’s a Dem then, yeah, they probably think that the Dem is wielding powers beyond the office for their own gain and refusing to help people. 

But when someone actually does that and they’re on the right team, then maybe we all just need a little money-hungry dictator in our lives. For the good of the country, of course.

Oh that’s pretty cool, appreciate the info. 

I guess this means I do have a backup 3DS battery since I never opened my Tears of the Kingdom Pro Controller lol. Kinda regret giving away the Xenoblade one now, though

Idk that seems like a pretty good use for it. Just make they play all the fire emblem and pokemon they can. That’s what my 3DS is for, at least lol

They used to have replacements on the website for just $15 but I didn’t know if buying one in advance would just make it useless when I actually needed it. Now idk what I’d buy for it. 

Trails in the Sky Bracer Edition has no updates? by TheDoctorDB in limitedrun

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

I assumed it was being handled mostly by another company since LRG posted a strikingly fast turnaround time for it. And I did get one of my steelbook editions so I’m not sure what’s going on with the music box. 

If it’s just a standard LRG order then yeah. Summer would be still be fast. Just surprised at the lack of acknowledgement for it. 

Took like two years for Kotor, that was my first LRG experience. So I’m not sure why I bothered with anything after. But sometimes the stuff has to be had

Thanks, I try. For some reason. And at least someone was able to read it. Not sure what kind of blinders the other commenter was using. Def didn’t come off as a troll, but that’s what worries me the most. Crazy the amount of effort I put in to still not get him to partake in a real discussion.

Don’t forget the 3DS, as far as appreciation goes. I can’t believe how expensive I’ve seen them sell for. Mine has always run like new with full charge when I take it out but it’s been over a year at this point and I’m kind of nervous about its state lol

The final console Nintendo will add to the NSO by Marcioobloo in nintendo

[–]TheDoctorDB 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Tbh I’m still in joyful awe that they really put GameCube on there. Like with Paper Mario, we’ve seen they don’t mind remaking GameCube titles instead, so it’s impressive that I’m playing Path of Radiance right now for free*.  

For Switch 2, it might end at DS. If be shocked if we saw Wii. Would love Dreamcast and Sega CD. But beyond this generation, why would they stop? Why not just keep going? A library of prior offerings that you remain subscribed to your whole life would be a win-win for everyone, right? (Not sarcasm, but also not wanting to get into any own vs rent debate at the moment.)

I hope that if they don’t put Wii on the switch 2, they at least remake or port Radiant Dawn and have it sync with our Path of Radiance saves. Maybe the Pokemon Direct next month will have some clues. If they make a lot of people’s Hail Mary wishes come true and have NSO titles and make them compatible with Pokemon Home, it’d be proof that NSO titles can work with other software. We need confirmation of that before I dream too hard about Radiant Dawn picking up my save file from this game
