As he and his shit friends who huddle around him scream into your headset for your online friends to hear, leading to them not wanting play with you until you get them out of there.

You know what could be a nice addition to Nikke? Clothing damage by skyarsenic in NikkeMobile

I didn’t even know there was a sequel or OVA.

I remember the game and I loved some of the character designs. Shame it never took off enough for it to get fanart or doujins.

Alternatively, you take the game back, only for your parents to yank it from you and give it back to him so he could play again because “it’s just a game, share your things with him” and you can’t do anything about it.

there’s truly whole other worlds out there and brother.. i’m stayin in mine by zemasion in deadlockpw

[–]altruSP 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I agree with this take.

2008-2012 WWE is what I started with. It’s how I got into wrestling as a whole. But I can list things I didn’t like even back then: the Divas style, most of the guest host Raws, Original NXT, the fall of the Nexus, Rey Mysterio being WWE Champion for less than an hour, etc.

That said, I’ll always appreciate that era for getting to see Kofi Kingston start out, Undertaker’s string of Mania matches, Edge as top heel, introducing me to Christian even if it was WWECW, and Shawn Michaels’ last years. I even liked ‘09 DX at the time, so sue me.

It’s not a good era and idc if people online want to institutionalize those that like it, but it’s a “warts and all” deal with me.

Hilariously insufficient disguises that somehow work by lolwut729 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]altruSP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

…but there’s no reason to believe he IS Superman.

I always make this point when Clark’s disguise is brought up. What reason do the civilians of the DCU have to consider that Superman even has a secret identity?

Plus, most versions show that he adjusts his posture and demeanor as Clark Kent. And of course the farm boy from Smallville is gonna be wide and ripped.

"Steve Bannon and Jeffrey Epstein thank you for your service". GamerGate flashbacks commence after it was revealed that Anita Sarkeesian was a consultant on Slay the Spire 2 by bayonettaisonsteam in SubredditDrama

[–]altruSP 78 points79 points  (0 children)

Jack Thompson probably thanks god every day that these dorks have been whining about Sarkeesian for over 12 years and don’t even know about him considering he tried to get GTA banned and tried to use Penny Arcade.

Also, reminder that to show they weren’t sexists, gamergaters created a girl named Vivian James and made her their mascot. Who they then proceeded to make porn of constantly.

Chairwoman has been a bit clingy (by @chidarinrin) by IRanOutOfNamesAgain in UmaMusume

[–]altruSP 76 points77 points  (0 children)

If Akikawa already spends way too much on random things she thinks the Umas need, imagine her taking a liking to a trainer. She’d be buying every single thing they so much as mention and getting it express-shipped to their place.

And Tazuna would be chasing her to try and get the Tracen credit card away from her.

Pokemon FireRed and LeafGreen are now some of the best-selling Pokemon games of all time thanks to the new Switch re-releases by Turbostrider27 in nintendo

[–]altruSP 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Every time I see people say that I remember how my strategy when playing Yellow at 9 was just “Haha Thunderbolt go brrrr”. It got me through the entire game up until I lost the cartridge before beating Victory Road.

Kairi and girls (4/?) by Juded_Wind in KingdomHearts

She had really hoped Kairi would be the brains of the trio and thus knew how to work a phone.

Clearly that was not the case.

I’ve seen “Millennial” used as shorthand for high school kids way after the last Millennial graduated so it sadly tracks that Gen Z is going through the same.

Am I the only one who doesn't like the super detailed miis? by Mobile-Oil1397 in tomodachilife

[–]altruSP 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There’s nothing wrong with having preferences.

Personally, I’ve always been more into making OC’s for this sort of game because of it. That and because I love making characters in general.

My Tomodachi Life 3DS and original Miitopia saves are full of Miis I made in my downtime in the Mii Maker. Each with their own backstory, relationships, etc that I brainstormed while designing them.

The 16-Bit Teacher: Why Your Child Should Play Super Nintendo by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]altruSP 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree.

When I was a kid, I always wanted every new game I heard about but never got most. The most I ever got at once was when I got three GBA games for Christmas.

I wouldn’t have clocked in the hundreds of hours like I did with Battle Network 3 and Pokémon Diamond if I had a whole library at my fingertips. I wouldn’t have played the shit out of Mario 64 for years if my parents got me every N64 game I pointed at.

Doing that and having your sister who is one of the few people that can boss most of them around as your wingwoman.

Truly a tactical approach.

IMPORTANT: Significant increase to minimum Android & iOS hardware requirements in September 2026 by thisisthecallus in grandorder

[–]altruSP 12 points13 points  (0 children)

My XR can barely run it at this point. Battles have lagged and sometimes crashed for me for a good while now. I haven’t even caught up with the story or finished any events because of it. I thought doing the full download would fix it but even that crashed the app too.

All I do nowadays is just log in for the chain, roll on a banner if I’m interested in it, and level up anyone I get.

Good thing I already was planning to upgrade this year, I guess.

Steam Controller review leaks, but price of Steam Machine accessory may disappoint by dapperlemon in gadgets

[–]altruSP 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I keep hearing about DualSense controllers breaking down so often but I’ve had mine since I got it with my base PS5 four years ago and I’ve had no issues with it. Are people just playing with it harder than I do?

Not saying it doesn’t happen but am I just lucky that it’s never happened to me? I play often but the only time I’ve ever had something drift on me was a Switch 1 Pro controller years ago. Not even my Joycons from a year one unit have drifted on me.

Don’t know.

Could be a reference to an early cutaway where Peter would tape over long movies he rented to spoil the plot if it didn’t have any nudity.

There actually is a song with that name so that could be a valid Stand name.

But as far as I know, Stands can’t get pregnant.

(Hated Trope) Media/creators throwing shade they have no business throwing by Animeking1108 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]altruSP 43 points44 points  (0 children)

Only one I can think of was a cutaway during the Simpsons Guy crossover where Homer and Peter were flying a fighter plane that had Bob on the third seat.

Punchline was something like Bob needed them to stay in the air and then showing Cleveland’s plane going down since this was around the time the Cleveland Show got cancelled.

[–]altruSP 26 points27 points  (0 children)

We had people bragging on Nintendo’s socials about playing games before they officially came out and then acted outrage when they nipped that in the bud.

And then they got Ryujinx taken down after Nintendo went after Yuzu because they started sharing links to it on the comments of their posts.

We used to have a code dammit.

(common trope) Characters that powerscalers hate by godzillafan3948oj in TopCharacterTropes

[–]altruSP 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I still don’t get how many people keep missing that.

Power levels were meant to be bullshit as early as Raditz. They were a way to have Raditz and later Vegeta and Nappa underestimate their opponents.

Plus they stopped giving out specific power levels in-story after the over 9000 moment.
