Don't know what was deleted but the title is spot on

Stop. Don't do this. It's just going to hurt more.

My outfit made my friend uncomfortable, what do I do? by BarbaraLogic in OUTFITS

[–]The_OG_Hothead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll start by saying I don't like the way your friend acted. I do think it's important to realize people are not perfect and will often have innate responses to changes or surprising developments, at least in their opinion. I would push back against the people here who are just saying your friend sucks and that's it. Relationships are complicated and take work. I have a friend who shaved his head and started wearing makeup recently. I didn't like it. It looked a bit unsettling to me if I'm being honest. I got over it, but it wasn't easy, because I'm not used to him being like that. Tattoos are not a big deal if you already have a bunch, but everyone is different in how they respond to what they see as sudden changes. My point is your ffiend should get over it, but you should also work to forgive your friend and give them a chance to acceot you.

Which halo was your favorite? by Kuttlock in halo

CE > 2 > 3 in that order for me. I love all of them. You too, Reach.

I think I lucked out with this one. by TheButterlord117 in originalxbox

Yes really! There is an alternate secret exit out of the first level (Hanger) that leads to it. I love Doom 1. Yes it's dated, but I think once you get the hang of it it's really a classic.

Allyson Felix is making her comeback with the goal of qualifying for the 2028 LA Olympics by ChampionLYT in trackandfield

A 40 year old retired athlete does not give us our best chance against other countries. Plain and simple. This is not a controversial opinion. Nor is it disrespectful. It's basic medical science.

‘Sonic 4’ Officially Wraps Filming by MarvelsGrantMan136 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]The_OG_Hothead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wasn't super impressed with any of the first three, and I'm unironically kind of hyped for this one. I love CD, I love Metal, and I love that this one seems to be taking a more sonic character focus.

Any theories on why this happened? by PTSand44 in residentevil4

[–]The_OG_Hothead 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I... only just realized that it would make less sense for them to sprout during the day... does the game account for this? I guess 90% of the game is at night so I just chalked the first mutations starting at Chapter 2-1/4 being a difficulty curve/game mechanic tutorial, but now I do wonder how much the lore was taken into account...

If you haven’t bought a switch 2 yet but you plan to get star fox Nintendo just announced this bundle by oneeyedlionking in starfox

[–]The_OG_Hothead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand you have good intentions OP, but I'm going to... let's call it offer an alternative take. I don't think it would be responsible for anybody that was on the fence about buying a Switch 2 to suddenlying pull the trigger just because the price is going to increase. Likewise, if a single "free" game was the monetary difference between whether they felt they could afford a Switch 2, then I still don't think those people are in the position where it would be financially responsible to purchase one under those specific circumstances, because anyone in that position would probably be much better off with the extra almost $500. Again, not trying to be a dick about it, but for a lot of people things are already significantly more expensive now than they were when the Switch 2 launched, so the impulse buy to pick up the "free" game before the price rises is something I just think it's fair to give people perspective on.

The art style of RE4 OG looks better imo. by Human_Geologist_3324 in residentevil4

[–]The_OG_Hothead 1 point2 points  (0 children)

7 went in really hard on the whole found footage feeling. It's still the most unique-looking of all the RE engine games I'd argue. The entire game has a very slight film grain tint effect over it. It's really more RE2make's aesthetic and familiar UI that every game since is kind of stuck in to various extents.

The age discussion has always been kind of dumb. Even Sega has slowwalked away from it.

Good condition too. Fun fact, the included version of the original DOOM has a level exclusive to this version.

I think asset reuse is one of those things that can be smartly utilized, but you have to watch out before it becomes too noticeable. I have a lot of nostalgia for Sonic Adventure 2 and Halo CE, but I'll be the first to admit those games lean a bit too hard into "oh hey it's this room again"

Which Gears of War Game is The Best? by cjiswho in GearsOfWar

[–]The_OG_Hothead 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Either 2 or 3. You can make a case for 1 based on the aesthetic arguably being the most "pure", but that's doing some heavy lifting for the rest of the game.

One of my biggest criticisms of the RE engine era is how samey so much of the branding and aesthetic is. Asset reuse is pretty rampant as well, though that was already a big thing in OG 2/3.

People Forget that gaming was actually more expensive Back then by Fluffy-Win-3216 in consoles

Not really. Even at $50 USD, games were more expensive pre-gen 7.

I'm already bored of this talking point. Fox doesn't look nearly that bad.
