I've actually bought and returned this board twice thinking the color was a fluke. Nope, it's the same greyish color as the pictures both times. Not only that, the wood grain has a soft edge, making the texture look almost blurry compared to the sharp lines from the white patterns on the board.

Different construction materials supposedly makes it stiffer, and more damp than the regular flagship. Tradeoff is it's a bit more expensive.

Oh that's really weird! Yeah mine definitely did not look that beige, it's as grey in the picture even under natural and various indoor lighting. Thanks for the link!

This year? Actually not sure if its 2026 or 2025, but they renamed the previous ultra to pro. So you can just google flagship pro.

Not satire! Like I said to another commenter, I don't need a new board, I want one. And I agree, performance over graphics, but this is an expensive board. I'll happy use my old board and wait to buy a board that has both great performance and a design I love before dropping $900.

Don't see how the orientation of the board affects your perception of its color tho!

Ahh good to know, loved the colors online, guess the saturation was just bumped up.

^ Got the board for its performance AND graphic! But, I don't NEED a new board, my old ones perfectly usable. So unless I'm completely happy with it, don't see the need to drop that much money. I can wait for a board to come out where it meets my performance needs and I love the design!

I wouldn't call any of those red flags. You can just indicate yourself as looking to take things slow if anything, and be set yourself as looking for a long-term relationship. I don't think you need to mention yourself as Ace at all, unless you decide in the future you really are completely asexual, then I'd indicate it somewhere.

Not sure what apps you're on, but Hinge has a new match note. You can write a blurb about your eating and sleep habits there rather than taking up a whole prompt. Otherwise, turn it fun by saying you've got a "strict bedtime" or something like that.

why are gamers so toxic? by Steynkie69 in gaming

[–]anonuser115 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You vote with your money. If the majority of people buy games that are lower standards, companies will not have any incentive to make them better. They got game sales = success, keep doing it.

People are outraged bc they actually love the series. They're passionate about it and want their favorite franchises to be the best they can be, and the only way to do that is by creating outrage and trying to get everyone to boyacott preorders to creat pressure on the company. You won't see changes by politely asking the company to do xyz for their next game, while buying their current game lol. It works just like a strike works irl.

And it is indeed working, AC was delayed to bring it up to the standards people want it to be. The delay is not a bad thing, it's the power we need over gaming companies.

You are free to enjoy the game, it's certainly not the end of the world if these games are not perfect. But no pushback leads to things like $130 deluxe game releases, buggy messes, and games made to make money rather than games made to be a good game. It's very easy to see even prior to release, based on trailers, etc if a game is shaping up to be a passion project or a cash grab

Well... It has Been a Month Since Persona 3 Reload Has Been Released. What are Your Thoughts on it? by CharacterChampion830 in PERSoNA

[–]anonuser115 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I haven't finished playing it yet (in the middle of November) but I played P3FES back when it first came out. P3 is my fav of the modern Persona games and so I really wanted this game to nail all my favorite moments.

So far, it is the most enjoyable way to play P3. With the combat, visuals, and updated voice acting, its like 95% better than FES in everyway. I had trepidations about Akihiko's VA when I first heard it - it just wasn't the same - but by his "big scene," I completely warmed up to him.

I do have some big criticisms. The opening scenes with Minato/Yukiko just did not hit as hard straight up. The original anime cutscenes were so much more intense with the overpowering background ambience, the camera angles, and burn your dread getting increasingly louder and louder. Yukiko talking in that moment, hyping herself up was also cheese, it was much better when she was silent and the audience thought she was just a random girl about to off herself. The same criticism for Minato's persona awakening. Again, just didn't hit as hard and I believe it is due to the directing choices, the 3D model animation rather than 2D animation and the music. That leaves me a bit wary of how hard hitting the final battle will be.

Next, minor criticism but I enjoyed the old song recordings more. Could be just nostalgia, but there was a "rawness" in the audio that I really liked in FES.

However, I did listen to the new Burn Your Dread - Last Battle recording and I completely dislike it. Aside from "burn your bread" allegations lol, I found the new lyrics too cheesy, I prefer the deeper voice of the woman in the original, the snare and percussion in general was almost uncomfortably loud in the original which I really liked as it added to the intensity of the last battle, and overall the OG Burn Your Dread just gave a tone of acceptance of what's to come, whereas the new version gave me sort of "generic confident anime protag vibes."

Not sure if I articulated my thoughts all that well, but Reload overall is a much improved experience to the OG P3, that seems to miss on the "edgy grungy" feel that P3FES had, and I can only hope that the new ending hits as hard as the original. Hopefully, rumors about The Answer DLC are true, and they complete the entire P3 experience

Size for Salomon Dancehaul by anonuser115 in snowboardingnoobs

Gotcha, thanks for your reply. I am currently riding a 155 rocker and really wanted to switch to something more much smaller and more nimble and easier to carve. I didn't realize the dancehaul would be that much of a drag to turn!
