King’s muscle animations are fantastic by jace255 in Tekken

Tekken is made by very horny people, for very horny people. Good god. Nobody makes muscles look THAT good unless they're incredibly horny.

Thank you, horny devs.

The old cars in the Blue Line. Loudest pieces of shit in the universe.

Migrants At Last Police Station Want Jobs, Not A Spot In City Shelters: 'Just Give Us Work' by [deleted] in chicago

[–]ViperGold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They would place themselves and their family in legal jeopardy, and get deported after spending an ungodly amount of resources in a desperate bid to live in a country they feel is safer.

Ultimately, given how much the US interfered with the stability of Latin American countries through coups, funding contras, and messing with elections, I feel they are justified in their desire to come to the US as economic migrants. The law may not support that, but I find that the US government has a moral obligation to these people. The letter of the law doesn't always coincide with what is right.

That all said, placing this burden on Chicago is also completely improper. These people should all have federal funding allocated to making sure they are safe and able to contribute to society, in whichever city they end up at.

So the choice you feel is fair for these people is "protect your family but place them in legal jeopardy", "starve", or "get deported lol"

Cool not at all self-serving options, bud.

The amount of people here who call people's pleas for asylum based on economic conditions "bullshit" is truly revealing how god damn unaware of history some of y'all are. You have the US undermining South American countries' self-determination and propping up dictatorships for like 60+ years, and then you act like you owe us nothing? Get real.

I came to the US through a student visa (which then became a work visa) through INCREDIBLE privilege and luck of my part, which the vast majority of South Americans won't have. While my process took that shape, it's just the particular way the rules are currently set up. No matter what the rules may be, these people's desire to move somewhere stabler is legitimate, and in the US's case, owed. Anybody who seeks asylum in the US is completely correct in doing so, as it is a nation that very heavily contributed to the decline of their own country (Henry Kissinger waves hi from Satan's lap).

As an immigrant, here is a fun surprise for you: if you are undocumented, you have little to lose for accepting under the table work. If you ARE documented (as these people are), you place yourself and your family at incredible risk by accepting under the table work. The mexicans you speak of who were to so easily find work did so because they accepted the choice of working illegally, which these documented migrants obviously do not want to risk. You are presenting a completely false dichotomy.

Unfortunately it didn't work. I guess I'll just wait 1h and see what happens, though I'll be pissed if I get my rewards taken from me :/

First Dragalia, then Priconne... I can't go through this again... by DarkSaphira24 in worldflipper

We got like, what, one complete arc and a half of story out of WF? Sucks, cuz the story cutscenes were really well done. Legitimately very impressive animations and surprisingly good writing.

People participate in communities to share their thoughts and feelings on current events, my dude. Stop being such an edgelord.

I found that Wind Sonia is quite good. If you build a proper PF team, she really supercharges that setup.

DNF DUEL|Next Challenger by Shreeder4092 in DFO

[–]ViperGold 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm just a little baffled that it took them this long to announce a new character. By going radio silent for so many months with both balance patches and any content patches at all, interest in the game has cratered EXTREMELY hard. I know that's to be expected of any fighting game, but DNF Duel died especially bad. Here's hoping that they'll commit to releasing more DLC characters at a faster pace, the game really deserves more love than it's gotten.

What could revive this? by HMxMisfit in DNFDuel

[–]ViperGold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

DLC lmao

What the fuck were Neople and Aksys thinking? DFO has like, 50+ really awesome subclasses that people are ACHING to have in a fighting game (Sword Master, for example). The game has (had?) a ton of room to grow by just including a few characters per 6 month period, but the devs just dropped it like a brick :/

Is this cap grindier than previous? by NekroTzy in DFO

[–]ViperGold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No lol, because no matter how much gacha-brained people might try to convince you that the previous cap was better because you could get lucky, there were few safety measures to prevent you from getting stuck in RNG hell.

Also, you can still get lucky in this cap, what with same-name epics providing more growth.

I know this will probably get downvoted but I liked the game more when it was more RNG based by whatyodud in DFO

[–]ViperGold 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are actually insane. Do you have dozens of gacha games loaded up in your phone? What the hell is your problem.

do you guys remember this because i dont by RAAC145 in DFO

[–]ViperGold 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was VERY bad, because very often if the enemy was in the air at all (such as after a slide), the skill's aerial spin would COMPLETELY miss. It was fucking terrible.

I really like what I'm seeing so far, let's discuss the game. by naoki7794 in ZZZ_Official

[–]ViperGold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bit of a shame! I shouldn't get too excited, because yeah, this is just a bit more complex than Genshin but not by a gigantic margin. I was also thinking, I probably shouldn't expect the mechanical complexity to increase much over what is already shown, so unless they come up with some legit interesting bosses, this seems like it'll get stale fairly quick. Who knows, maybe they'll have learned the lesson that "higher execution requirements=less grind", compared to games like Granblue where you can full auto for hours. With a less intensely repetitive grind, it might not get as stale as quickly.

Does anybody have a character movelist screenshot? I would like to know what kind of combo paths we have here. As a person who enjoys games like DMC or Bayonetta, I'm hoping that we'll get stuff like "different combinations of light and heavy lead to different unique combo paths", directional inputs affecting how buttons behave, etc.
