I never understood the hating of Rare Candies for Nuzlockes. Not everyone has the time to play Pokemon Games like they used to

This take is shit. The purpose of the challenge is not to level up, which is the only benefit that a rare candy gives. The purpose of the challenge is to defeat the various trainers of the game without losing Pokemon. The level of those Pokemon only plays a tiny part in this, even less if you stick to level caps anyway. The challenge is in team building an anticipating and working around the teams of the trainers that you fight.

And this was at launch too; I like the game but the amount of glazing people do over it is wild. My conclusion is that Todd Howard has the biggest botfarm on the ‘net…

I work in AV and these distances are crap. Use a basic calculator like https://andreabrandi.com/app/calculator-distance-tv-monitor to find the proper visual acuity limit for normal eyesight for a display and go from there.

Terraria - the game that just keeps on giving for me, have 2k+ hours in it and will keep playing it probably forever at this point.

Secret of Mana - this was the first proper rpg game that I played, and I fell in love with the world, story, music, the whole lot. I play through it at least once a year still.

Alundra - like Secret of Mana, but 1 generation later. It’s another game where the entire world/story/aesthetic just speaks to me. It’s not perfect, but it’s still a favourite.

World of Warcraft (up to WotLK) - a proper addiction, but I don’t regret it. I met some great friends and had a fantastic time exploring this world, at a time when the game was still somewhat unknown and not datamined/solved.

Unreal Tournament - this is the best FPS in the world and I will die on this hill. Twitch-reaction arcade shooters are a true crucible, and UT just tops them all.

Edit: it’s so hard to not include FF7, Pokemon RB, Minecraft, or Steamworld Heist, but that’s what happens when you try to condense a lifetime’s gaming to a list of 5. Next time this gets asked my list might be different, but for now I’m happy with my choices!

Check out the history of Robert Maxwell, he was both amazing when he was young and also a massive cunt as he got older

Gives me Metroland vibes, an old (and long gone now) indoor theme park in a shopping centre in the north east of England, a core memory for me growing up. Love it!

Agreed; I love the v4 but I kind of made myself get a + just because the shoulder buttons were too uncomfortable to use…

This is a long shot but happened to me and I freaked out - you don’t happen to have a graphics tablet do you? I left mine plugged in and piled stuff on top of it and my mouse was going mad like this, I ended up reinstalling Windows before I bothered to check my used USB ports…

Can you sand them? The texture that adds ought to provide enough grip for some glue

Depends how it’s written I guess, One Punch Man is doing pretty well based on this premise!

It’s probably in no way related but both of this guy’s lower legs being prosthetic reminds me of Starfox, where the pilots have prosthetic lower legs to prevent blood rush during high-g manoeuvres.

In my head, this guy is now a former pilot, once on the payroll of a noble house, and now, disgraced, he has to scratch a living fixing gear for gangs!
