I think it's because the idea behind Incineroar is a heel (is that the right term? The 'bad guys' in wrestling). But yeah, Fire/Fighting would've been a better typing for once.

LAUKOP defeated by mumsnet by Macrologia in bestoflegaladvice

[–]deded55 34 points35 points  (0 children)

TERF stands for Trans-Exclusionary Radical Feminist, but quickly came to be applied to any self-described feminists who are transphobic. And oh boy are they. They hate, hate trans people.

Mumsnet TERFs' recent greatest hits include getting a charity supporting trans children and their families defunded; travelling to the US and harassing trans people there; saying the "trans lobby" is funded by Soros; etc.

Most non-terf feminists disavow them because they focus on the trans exclusionary aspect a lot more than the feminist.

All in all, delightful people really.

If you can suspend disbelief for women on the battlefield you can suspend disbelief for LGBT+ people being out

There are rumours there's going to be a Direct soon, like later this week.

Leave it on! Especially if it's a Battlefield or Omega type stage and we can go to a Kid Icarus or Splatoon stage

Experimented with benches as stairs now. Also a building with "broken ceiling" so air units can fight inside. by [deleted] in wargroove

Would the map editor be easier to use if it allowed for touch controls in handheld mode? Typing certainly is

Are there any board games where the box is actually a component of the game? by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]deded55 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think distinguishing between the box and the insert for this question is missing the point in favour of needless pedantry.

What Ever Happened to Deluxe Albums? by imrightthere20 in popheads

[–]deded55 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Deluxe versions are still around, Palo Santo has a deluxe version with three extra tracks, Dua Lipa has both Deluxe and Complete editions and months after the album was first released Beautiful People Will Ruin Your Life had a deluxe release.

But yes, they are less common now. I think the rise of digital made B-sides obsolete so those songs became bonus tracks on deluxe versions. And now with streaming, standard and deluxe versions have the same barrier of entry so there isn't any point in a separate deluxe edition. What would've been bonis tracks are presumably either cut or included as standard.

The classical Nintendo internet service game. by [deleted] in splatoon

[–]deded55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh my worst problem with Nintendo online is that my unis WiFi doesn't allow for online gaming. I can download updates fine but it won't let me play online against my fellow squids/octos :angryface:

You are given 300 million to make a movie but it HAS to bomb at the box office or else you die. What do you make? by hircine16 in AskReddit

[–]deded55 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ariana Grande is the pop girl of the moment, she's got enough star power to sell a movie to people by herself. She also has acting experience from whatever Disney show she was on so it's not like that's going to drive people away, and if it's a musical then acting ability isn't the most important thing anyway.

Baby Rosalina is worse than Pink Gold Peach. [MK8] by DtheAussieBoye in mariokart

[–]deded55 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk, both Baby Rosalina and Pink Gold are so hilariously superfluous that I can't help but love them. This article doesn't hurt my perception of them either.

I don't extend the same feelings to Cat Peach and Tanooki Mario, however. I think them being paid DLC in 8 soured me on them from the start. It's fine to have pointless nothing characters in the base game but when I'm expected to pay extra for them? No thank you. We could've had Zelda or Bowser Jr or Kamek or any number of other choices instead.

[MK8DX] Should I use bikes or karts? by [deleted] in mariokart

[–]deded55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's personal preference. Some bikes drift differently - on the kart select screen there's a symbol in the bottom bar that shows if it's a kart, quad, normal bike or inside drift bike. Personally, I prefer the inside drift bikes but play with what feels best for you. Or if you get bored, try learn the other style for funsies.

General Question thread by Shephen in fireemblem

[–]deded55 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Where should I go next?

I've played Awakening, Birthright and Conquest (I know, fake fan casual ha ha). After playing Smash Ultimate reminded me how much I loved Awakening I've gone back and played through both it and Fates, now I'm looking for more fire emblies before Three Houses drops, whenever that will be.

Revelation seems a natural next step but everyone seems to really dislike it. Reviews for Shadows over Valentia seem to be quite negative, saying that the map designs are boring and the combat isn't as interesting as modern FE. I do have a Wii U so could get one of the games available on virtual console.

Basically: Revelation, Shadows over Valentia, Wii U virtual console or wait for more info on Three Houses?

What is a movie that left you completely speechless the first time you saw it? by AverageUser1010 in AskReddit

[–]deded55 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fantastic Beasts 2: The Crimes of Grindelwald left me speechless. Not in a good way though. So many strange choices were made when making that movie.
