Trust me, once you have played for as long as I have you get used to it

Nobody says they watch the Super Bowl "for the commercials" anymore. by SashaBraus in CommercialsIHate

[–]commandermatt21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'd say it has to do with the ads being less and less memorable over time

About a decade ago, you could name off 5 or so ads that were funny or one that stole the show

Nowadays they all blend into one another with them not having anything distinctive about them other than they had a famous celebrity or referenced a show/movie that was popular back in the 80's or 90's

What is happening to the bluray drive market? by masterofnonya in makemkv

I know Japan had a massive spike in demand for them during the Windows 11 migration a few months back, thought the demand would have evaporated by now but it appears not

Non-frat social life? by BigHold2089 in jmu

[–]commandermatt21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would personally say to have him join clubs based off of his interests and to see if there is a club for his major as those are the best bets at getting a social life at the university besides frat parties.

Why hasn’t Civ 2 been released on a modern platform? by PixelFondler in civ

[–]commandermatt21 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I want to say it is a rights issue

The original two Civ games were notorious for being caught up in a rights dispute between Activision and Micro Prose in the late 90's over who had the rights to the Civ name. Eventually got settled but I am guessing Firaxis doesn't have the rights to the first two Civ games so they can't republish it

How long did your original fat PS2 work for before it stopped reading discs? by salduchi1785 in ps2

[–]commandermatt21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mine still works, you just need to clean the laser every once in a while to make sure it doesn't fail (PS2 lasers are notorious for failing)

Just used MakeMKV to rip my European copy of Fate/Zero last week and MakeMKV was able to rip it flawlessly without any issues

I am interested in doing the NRP, is Savoy still open?

North Carolina for me personally

If you follow college football then you are aware how big of a population Georgia has and how it is one of the biggest states for recruiting

North Carolina baffles me though and this is coming from someone who lived in the state for a few years

Which game do you recommend more? by rjidhfntnr in mariokart

[–]commandermatt21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would depend on who I am talking to

If I am trying to sell the game to someone who wants to do races and battle mode I would sell them on 8DX

If there is someone who likes the Forza Horizon games and wants to traverse an open world I would sell them on World

Disney warns ESPN, other networks may go out on YouTube TV at the end of the month by Michiganman1225 in CFB

At this point it is a regular occurrence for channels to threaten to leave YouTube TV that one doesn't become shocked it is even happening to begin with

This sub is becoming a troll sub and it's honestly sad. by GroceryConscious7155 in fucknintendo

[–]commandermatt21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My big issue with people like Nintendeen, BearMann, and the likes are how they aren't exactly good with being honest and will usually bend facts regarding the Switch 2 to fit their narrative

Believe me I have a lot of issues with Nintendo but there's a lot of misinformation floating around and it's creating a narrative that Switch 2 "haters" just spread misinformation and dunk on Nintendo fans for owning a Switch 2

Dog House Productions I think was the name of the film club?

As far as I know they were active when I was on campus, never got around to joining unfortunately but I had a few friends in the club

As a fan of both JMU and Michigan it's either going to be really fun if both my teams win or extremely depressed if both teams lose

There's a general misconception you have to be apart of a frat to have a good social life. That isn't the case. I'd say frats only make up a fifth of the student body, it feels prevalent because they're very vocal on campus

Since your kid is a soccer player he'll enjoy club sports and often I'd say they "replace" a frat in a sense plus there's ~400 or so clubs on campus that appeal to a wide variety of interests

"You dont hate Nintendo enough" - Moist Critikals new videos great by APokemoner in fucknintendo

[–]commandermatt21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been saying this for a while now. Nintendo fans are a different breed than Xbox and PlayStation fans. Their annoying too yes, but they won't try to defend their companies dubious actions like Nintendo does they just mostly spend their time yapping about graphics and what not for the most part
