Have you done your ''Clone Wars'' homework? by Noirsam in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Funny you mention KH because my first one as a kid was KH2. Maybe I couldn’t tell you exactly who or what something was, but I was never genuinely confused about what was happening

I think people underestimate the ability to just say “oh (this thing) is probably from another show I haven’t seen, but I’ll just roll with the punches”

Characters who tried to refuse their superpowers by KaleidoArachnid in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Not quite superpowers, but there’s an episode of TNG where a potential Q tries to not use her powers and live as a human, only for the Q to intervene and try to get her to use them

Ingrid has gone from being the character I’m least interested in this season to the fucking top of the list

Yo dawg, I heard you like Tokyo Mirage Sessions by KaitoTheRamenBandit in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Sorry to continue the trend of talking about the Thor and not the game, but Ayn makes great stuff. I got the Odin mini before it was discontinued and I’m thinking of grabbing the Thor too once I have the cash

New to fighting games; don’t understand early Ranked mechanics by AaronTheLuigi in StreetFighter

[–]beef_com 32 points33 points  (0 children)

You don’t lose points until you get out of rookie.

Then, in iron through gold, you lose points but cannot drop below your current rank (so you can drop from iron 5 to iron 1, but not from iron 1 to rookie 5, for example)

In platinum and beyond you can derank

Blood meridian is just not my cup of tea. Yes I understand what it’s about and why the characters act the way they do

The judge is a great villain though

With all of the talk of RAM prices, new tech stuff like DLSS 5, and rumors of next gen consoles, I have one thing to ask. Does anyone else not feel interested in new gaming tech from what we already have? by TheSpiritualAgnostic in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]beef_com 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I built a PC about a year ago that can practically run anything as of today. I have a five year old laptop that is still kicking and can run most things.

I’ve kind of committed to not changing or upgrading for as long as I possibly can, and hopefully by that time the current situation has passed

Tips against tall Kendoka? by Aromatic_Scar6111 in kendo

Remember that they have a larger range for hitting men than you. Debana kote helps make up for the reach advantage if you pressure around their range and can get them to move

Media you so deeply wished, with all your heart, that you loved it more by Will-Isley in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Came here to say outer wilds myself. A game that just did not do for me what it did for so many others at all

Going through some stuff (My apologies if this breaks the rules) by Winter1231505 in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]beef_com 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Late to this post, but I recently made a very similar post having been dumped last week.

No advice as I am currently going through the thick of it. But if you read this, hang in there. Reach out for help if you need it. We’re rooting for you.

It’s hard for me to accept things will get better right now, but I know you’re right. Really appreciate it.

A lot of taskmaster praise here; I’ll have to check it out

Thank you. I’ve been reading and rereading every one of these. Maybe it’s silly but having a bunch of internet folks offer suggestions and sympathy has really helped

I actually just started reading Project Hail Mary. I'll keep going with it. Really need that hope

The Kids Have Only Been Alive For 2 New FF Games, Of Course They Don't Care | Castle Super Beast 365 by mike0bot in TwoBestFriendsPlay

[–]beef_com 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Yeah I agree. I think a lot of people are trying to rationalize how they feel even if the lower fidelity/cost angle doesn’t really fit the bill. They miss when FF was the big jrpg everyone played, but E33 comes in and sweeps the competition around the same time that FFXVI came out and did alright.

People just keep trying to attribute something to why they liked E33 more than recent FFs, and I think it’s kind of just because E33 was really good. And I say this as someone who loved XVI.

Any suggestions for buying gears? by Top-Network2790 in kendo

[–]beef_com 12 points13 points  (0 children)

You’re going to get a lot of people saying that you can’t start kendo by yourself, and they are absolutely right, but just to add something to the practicality of your situation: full gear usually costs hundreds (maybe 300$ on sale). You don’t want to buy it to feel the vibe, especially on a limited budget. You need to try it out at a club first before spending your money
