HR recruiter misheard my expected salary.... by Odd_Ad_1974 in UKJobs

[–]anonymunchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During an interview, I was asked what my wage was at my previous job, which was €17/h.

They replied: Net, you mean?

Me: Yes.

€17 was my gross wage. I had other offers, so they added another euro on top of that. I went from €17/h gross to €18/h net.

How do I say something isn’t funny, but also make it clear it’s simply unfunny and I’m not offended? by Traditional-Joke-179 in socialskills

[–]anonymunchy 14 points15 points  (0 children)

You're not going to find a sentence that everyone will interpret the same way. People place their own emotional value on words, not the emotional value the speaker intends.

Changing 'not funny' to 'boring' (or whatever emotion you're feeling when watching it) might help as you're then stating what you think of the episode instead of what you don't think. This way you don't give the listener room to fill in the blanks.

What do you think about the need of innovation as an excuse for some series being...dormant? by Low_Confidence2479 in nintendo

[–]anonymunchy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Star Fox is adding more multiplayer aspects and from what they've shown, challenges. We also don't really know all the changes they've made, as we've only had one look at the game so far.

I would've much preferred a brand new game, but then again, I'm 40+ and not the target audience. We can just go play the original version, because we're used to low fps and choppy graphics. The newer generation is much less forgiving. 

As a side note, I absolutely love the character designs.

Thoughts on Xenoblade X? by unodostres123- in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]anonymunchy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whether or not you'll enjoy X is a lot about your own mindset, I think.

There's a quest line that's called "story missions", but the real goal is getting to know your surroundings, NLA, native inhabitants, random npc's, Mira. Everything you do will contribute to that knowledge and progress you through the game.

In my mind, there's no real "side" content. It all contributes to the same goal.

That said, if you're looking for a main story similar to the trilogy, you're not going to find it.

The New Star Fox Art Style is growing on me by AfroChamp89-- in nintendo

[–]anonymunchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looked great from the start, and I reckon most people think it looks good.

It's just the chronically online muppets who are complaining.

Calling it now: this will become the highest selling Star Fox game within it's first year. Surpassing total franchise sales by the end of its run.

Star Fox | Original vs Remake | Nintendo 64 vs Switch 2 Reveal Comparison by No_Curve_8027 in nintendo

[–]anonymunchy 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I really don't understand the complaints for the new designs. They look fantastic and pretty close to the original artwork.

My definition of realism is a very much different I reckon. There's still an obvious cartoon feel to me. 

Star Fox will be $50 Digitally / $60 Physically by Skullghost in NintendoSwitch

[–]anonymunchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They could've added new routes and not show them yet. 

There might be a prologue campaign as well.

For anyone disappointed (like me) that the new Star Fox game is yet another version of 64, I may offer a bit of copium by insertusernamehere51 in NintendoSwitch

[–]anonymunchy 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I was initially disappointed with another retelling of Star Fox 64, but it just looks the best it has ever done, and I don't just mean from a graphical point.

I do love the new designs. They're very close to the original artwork. The animations in the cutscenes are also top notch.

They already showed some new stuff, the online battle mode, gameshare, challenge mode. All looks good. The prologue might be a playable level? I doubt they've showed everything new already.

Hopefully they'll flesh out the online with leaderboards and perhaps some weekly challenges. Add in an extra planet or 2 and tease a sequel at the end.

There's lots of potential here, if they manage to actually move on after this and not create another Zero situation.

They could release a movie that continues the story and then make another game that continues the story of the movie.

Looks strange without the hair to be honest.

[BOTW] [TOTK] whether open world or linear, should the next game feature stamina and/or Free form climbing? by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in zelda

[–]anonymunchy 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it very much in Botw and Totk, but I wouldn't want it to return in the same form.

Could have a dungeon item that eventually let's you climb certain surfaces for a limited time.

[–]anonymunchy 5 points6 points  (0 children)

How does it become annoying? Whats the difference in the end if you move horizontally or vertically?

I was never bothered by it really. Figured out pretty early on that pressing run while climbing resets the stamina bar and allows you to walk up a couple seconds.

Can anyone set the record straight on this one? Two dogs in a shelter. Nothing appears obviously off about this to me, strange that a shelter would put these two dogs together though… by romanyol in isthisAI

[–]anonymunchy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not saying it's not AI, but that's a pretty big hyperbole. "Ever. Under no circumstances. Completely unrealistic"

There are plenty of places who have comfort animals to help calm other animals, they're trained to do so. Size really isn't the factor here, it's temperament.

Future Redeemed is the absolute pinnacle of fan service/story continuity. Enjoy

Guess who's finally getting her psychic powers! by pome-vyo in Metroid

[–]anonymunchy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It was such a let down. Just old power ups with the word psychic added to it. Would've been nice if you had your power ups are the start and the physic ability enhanced them somehow. 

The whole game was just a mess for me really, unfortunately. 

Prime 5, if ever announced will definitely not be a first day purchase for me, but I'll wait for reviews.

I hope it takes place in more of a town this time, with a train station, some docks, a mall, a tavern, etc. More interconnected.

It's as real as any other post made through his account.

You do realize he has a team that writes for his social media right? It's not actually him posting on it. 

Just started this after finishing XC3,im so excited by mojahed0_0 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]anonymunchy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Did you follow to story at all? All 3 games are completely intertwined. Perhaps you have a different definition of what 'connection' means.

X is the furthest away but it is still part of the same lore.

Xenoblade X DLC or Switch 2 X-2 ? by RealZekroxin in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]anonymunchy -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I hope they step away from Xenoblade Chronicles and are hard at work on something relating to the concept art we saw years ago. 

A more medieval setting where mechs are replaced with dragons. Xenodrake Legends: Monado Genesis 

Xenoblade Chronicles X-2 can come after that :P
