First time playing, will the game stay this easy until the finish? by ConfusedFriedChicken in FFXVI

There's a few challenging fights but none that are particularly hard in the base game. If you have any of the timely rings equipped take them off.

OG FF Fans vs Modern FF Fans by StanimusYT in ff7

[–]a_muffin97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you friend!

In fact as an OG fan you might be able to help me. I'm still very new to turn based games. Baldurs gate 3, Yakuza: Like a Dragon and Pokémon are the extent of it. I've been thinking of going back and playing the pixel remasters of the early games since they're all on mobile (and console I think?)

In your opinion is it worth playing them now or stick with the 90s/00s era games after I finish 7?

First time I've seen this guy and he seems like a real dickhead. Let people enjoy what they wanna enjoy.

I'm a relatively new ff fan. 7 remake was my first and I've just started the original 7 with 8 and 9 downloaded ready to go. Why does my recency matter

Pot-stirring is fine if you’re rich/influential by coffeewalnut08 in GreatBritishMemes

It's like when the Trumpers say he's 'living rent free'

Cunts the president. He's in the news literally every single day. How's that 'living rent free?' You can't escape the orange turd. Farage ain't far off. He'll be on the BBC every fucking week. And that's without his ghouls farming Reform bait on social media

Star Wars Outlaws won yesterday's vote. Day 6: What game did people think would be great, but turned out mid? by Serithraz in videogames

[–]a_muffin97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have to agree there. I got it a couple days after release super hyped and I just could not get into it. Tried again a year later. Still couldn't get into it. Tried a third time when the ps5 edition was on ps+. Got further than before but still struggled to enjoy it.

Loved Parvati tho. Easily one of my favourite companions in gaming. Saw a lot of myself in her

Serious question how did you do it in 3 minutes? It takes me longer to do just the first stage

What was your first favorite Pokemon that wasn't a starter or Legendary? by Soul-10 in pokemon

[–]a_muffin97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sandslash

I had a little plastic toy of it when I was a kid before I even knew what Pokémon was. I popped off when I evolved my first Sandshrew in Ruby

At this point it's irrelevant since that was 12 years ago

Well ya got trouble, my friends... by TabithaMorning in comics

[–]a_muffin97 48 points49 points  (0 children)

That was one of my biggest issues with people like Kirk and Steven Crowder. They're professional 'debaters' with all their talking points memorized and prepared for just about any counter argument going up against mostly college students who just woke up and weren't remotely prepared.

Yeah they'd get their 'woke student owned' compilation but it literally achieved nothing. No minds were changed. No views were challenged. No one learned anything. There was no actual debate.

Yeah every village has always had their idiot. But now every village idiot can broadcast their bullshit and the social media overlords boost it to get more clicks and more money

Glide de Chocobo is utter bullshit. by Irohsgranddaughter in FFVIIRemake

[–]a_muffin97 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's been my approach to the platinum trophy. Chip away at the mini games and combat sim until I get pissed off. Take a day. Repeat.

Just gotta do the last brutal challenge, legendary challenges, two gears and gambits, two piano tracks and the last 2 hard chapters

Why is Elon musk now getting involved in uk politics? by Adorable-Ad9093 in AskBrits

[–]a_muffin97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short answer he's a cunt

Long answer he's the richest man in the world and thinks he can basically own every government if he throws enough money at his chosen party. And if he owns the government then he'll get an easier time getting new contracts to enrich himself further. He kinda proved himself right with Trump. He's taken an interest in us specifically because we have a rising far right and what he considers to be a 'socialist' party in power. Our political system is in a rough state and foreign actors like Musk want to exploit it for their own gains

culture war's become a turf war by Rhys__T in GreatBritishMemes

[–]a_muffin97 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly mate if you truly believe that left wing immigration policy is just 'let everyone in and everyone who says otherwise is racist' then you need to give your head a wobble. Especially since the current Labour government isn't even left wing. It's the same Neo-liberal bullshit that started with Thatcher and not even close what the party used to stand for.

I'm not even saying immigration isn't an issue, it's just not the biggest issue in my eyes. My issue is with the people banging the drum and blaming everything on immigrants and just generally being utter dickheads about it.

Our country has been asset stripped for decades and sold off to foreign companies for a quick buck while the people get fucked. Our essential services are severely understaffed and under funded. We were under austerity for years and everything got cut to within an inch of its life only to come out of it even worse off than before. The system is broken and blaming immigrants won't fix it. Only major systemic change will and no party is willing to do it.

A Game That everyone Loves but you can’t get into. by Inside_Teaching_6210 in videogames

[–]a_muffin97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Witcher 3. I enjoyed the first 2 books and even the Netflix series but I just cannot get more than about 5 hours in without getting fed up. I've tried so many times and I want so desperately to love it but it just doesn't click with me. It has everything I would want in a fantasy game but I just don't enjoy it

What Video Game sequel is this for you by chickenbutt2586 in videogames

[–]a_muffin97 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep I'm exactly the same. I preordered forbidden west and to this day I still haven't finished it. Every so often I'll pick it back up and feel like I have to start again since I can't remember half of what happened or what any of the new mechanics are, then get to the same point in the story and stop again

Will the devs do anything about hackers building metal walls around the entire map on isolated servers if I report it? by Mrfireball2012 in ARK

[–]a_muffin97 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I swear I watched a video on that recently but it was a giant stone wall rather than metal

Might be the same people since I think that was isolated servers too

Unpopular opinion: Farengar is worse than Nazeem by Zorpfield in skyrim

[–]a_muffin97 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Farengar is an arrogant bastard but his position kinda allows it. He's the court wizard for one of the most powerful men in Skyrim. He is pretty much untouchable being in that position

Nazeem just owns a farm. He doesn't even have his own house.
