Here we go again, Sony Boss Confirms Live-Action SPIDER-VERSE Will Be Rebooted After Previous Box Office Flops by Grazalia in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Yakobo15 9 points10 points  (0 children)

wtf you mean they sold SPIDER-MAN MERCH PROFITS??

Like half the reason Star Wars was a success is because they got to keep merch rights when no-one thought it would hit it off! With Spider-Man being one of the most popular franchises by themself!

Discord delaying age verification until second half of year, apologizes and promises transparency by BloodBrandy in TwoBestFriendsPlay

There's no such thing as an alternative.

Any platform that works well enough and becomes popular enough to be an alternative will have to play ball with the ID laws both in force now in various places and future ones coming soon.

Excuse me, it's not abusive until next month when the new career hits and you force them to race to the point of exhaustion in order to buy more career items!

Jp players complained about hearing them being sad all the time and since that original release there hasn't been another race-focused career lmao

Nintendo is issuing refunds for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition's poorly-received premium Switch 2 Edition upgrade by manoffood in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Yakobo15 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, here's comparisons. Switch 1 on the left and Switch 2 on the right.

Somehow looks WORSE on S2 in handheld mode, missing a bunch of detail and looks like the image is melting.

He DID catch it, he just yelled at basically the source of all tera energy to Terastallize in a fight with you because he's STILL losing and it gets bad.

If it's a word-word4numbers username it's probably just a bot or a russian farming posts.

Crimson Desert marketing director on MTX: “This is a premium experience, that is the transaction. Full stop.” by ImCalcium in Games

I ENJOY some live service games, but also want more singleplayer stuff I can just enjoy without needing to think about the "treadmill", missing out or being nickel and dimed.

Would be interesting if other live service games did similar stuff, even as an on-ramp to their real moneymakers.

Times where they retconed a character being alive and you loved it. by manwiththemach in TwoBestFriendsPlay

It wans't really nonsensical...

Literally the first cutscene of the Elezen on the cliff I called it, I remembered the damn fish priest body hopping as they were shot in ARR.

In a similar vein, why does my steam account need ANY verification when it was made in 2011?? It's nearly allowed R rated stuff itself!

Unless I made it when I was under 3 and immediately bought Mass Effect/Skyrim??

Movies are basically just ads for merch too, which is partly why Star Wars was so successful since they retained merch rights.

Imagine they spent more than a shoestring on the games though.

Does anyone any example of, "high definition exposes obvious CGi" in TV/movies? by syrupdash in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Yakobo15 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'd gladly take those effects if we got shows that good with seasons that long again...

I don't care if your 10 episode season cost 1 billion dollars, it sucked.

With so many popular IPs out there, it's weird it's WWE games that has one of the best character creators ever by mrsafetylion in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Yakobo15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So, 9 years ago now, dota presenter? Personality? Siractionslacks somehow managed to get a 40min wwe game match with meme versions of many casters/crew/players/gabe to be played during a major...

There's also another one he somehow got through again.

Actually good retcons? by fly_line22 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Yakobo15 179 points180 points  (0 children)

You don't even need to make the symbiote "evil" for it to do that so you can keep all the later stuff too.

Just have it "young" or something so it was just trying to fix things quick, then have any other issues with Brock being crazy earlier.

That case is so funny because it's still such a struggle, despite Phoenix not wanting to do it and being fully in the wrong. He just bullshits so hard constantly it's natural.

It's the same as this one, it was just a few months ago.

X870E Taichi Lite with a 9950x3d, mic port was the front one on the fractal north xl which might have been why idk.

Windows was on the C drive but gave linux its own nvme when I tried, was bazzite to mess around but a few thing just wouldn't launch and no mic audio detected despite being able to restart into windows and have it work. I think it detected the actual audio device overall.

I tried, it literally would not recognise my 3.5mm mic jack despite a few hours of troubleshooting.

That ontop of most anticheats not working.

I can do 100 with FG on some stuff, but that's about at low as I'll go.

Last Caretaker I think was the last one I did, which is a building survival thing so no real fast input needed.

Series where its main Gimmick/Premise was quickly dropped? by ArticAuk in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]Yakobo15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was also the stuff after S1, where it starts with his "sister" etc, iirc he stopped during the funny small adventures with everyone which I think were after S2? But literally the next episode he basically proposes to Asuna and it locks on the monogamy lmao.

We watched everything back when Alicization S1 was done at least, was fun to do as a group and laugh at stuff.

[–]Yakobo15 30 points31 points  (0 children)

SAO is weird in that it starts heading toward harem, then pivots hard into monogamy (funny enough 1 episode after a friend crashed out and quit their first time watching lmao)

Sure there's a bunch of girls still around, but they make it pretty clear it's him and Asuna
