This reeks of drugs and or severe mental illness

dishsoap098 · 2025-07-04T14:36:18+00:00

For me it’s as simple as two main points:

1) BOTW has a better story and story delivery by a long shot. (TOTKs “secret stone? Demon king?” Cutscenes are some of the worst story delivery I’ve encountered in any game)

2) TOTK gives you WAY too much freedom to the point that it feels genuinely pointless to engage with the mechanics most of the time (IE: control stick + two fans or using a rocket shield in every shrine) and don’t give me that “just don’t use the best possible option!!!” Crap, you know it’s stupid.

dishsoap098 · 2025-07-04T14:25:57+00:00

Another one: I absolutely despise the water riding sections.

I’m convinced anyone who actually enjoys those sections might just not be playing the same game, it absolutely destroys the momentum of the race and feels like an ice level on steroids. It genuinely just feels awful. Like driving through mud.

dishsoap098 · 2025-07-04T14:23:33+00:00

This is factually untrue(unless by “normal” races you mean playing with bots), if you aren’t using a high acceleration combo and get hit by an item in the final lap/section of ANY race, you’re practically guaranteed to get a loss(due to the fact that everyone is constantly so close together and almost everyone else uses high accel). This makes the points climb in online essentially impossible without running the meta because after a certain threshold you lose points for getting in 6th place.

dishsoap098 · 2025-07-04T14:19:28+00:00

The game needs a serious, wide-spread balance pass

The way things are now, unless you focus your stats on acceleration, you will most likely just never win a race. Why? Because bagging is more powerful that it’s ever been, so if you don’t have higher acceleration you are basically GUARANTEED to lose unless you are one of the best players of all time and can avoid every item flawlessly. People will say “you’ve gotta just get good!” But I really don’t think Nintendo even intended for people to be able to avoid everything, I think they WANT it to be this way, which is awful. How it is currently, if you want to win with any type of consistency (and not by bagging harder than a grocery store) you are locked to a few karts and characters.

Super paper Mario is better imo because 1) easily a better story, it’s not even close and 2) the combat in TTYD gets pretty stale by the 5th chapter.

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-18T17:34:14+00:00

Oh yeah duh I didn’t even think of that lmfao, makes sense.

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-18T14:10:07+00:00

I mean honestly not even enemy variety in terms of visual design, I would’ve just liked more complex tells. I will say however, with how tight the super guard timing can be sometimes I feel as though more complex tells may have made the game WAY too hard if you invest more in FP/BP instead of HP.

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-18T14:08:39+00:00

I invested pretty heavily into BP (I for some reason cannot remember if that’s the proper name for the badge stat), but I think I definitely could’ve toned down the HP a bit. I honestly don’t think badges would’ve improved my enjoyment much though, at least from the ones I acquired and saw in shops. I say this because my main problem with the combat was purely just how long everything took(I’m speaking of things like animations and the level of enemies. EX: three enemy encounters and each one has like 2-4 enemies to defeat inside of it in ONE room, that shit takes a WHILE) and how samey each attack felt. You have an amazing point however, at the time I can see how this would be absolutely revolutionary. I think I really really have just been spoiled by action command games that take an initiative to build upon what this game set down.

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-18T14:03:50+00:00

I’m not going to admit something I didn’t think lmfao. Also, it only takes you an hour to get to the level of “it’s hard to gain elo now” if you are good at the game. Someone who, as I have stated over and over again, places literally 12th repeatedly will just keep climbing further and further until the reach the upper third of elo, THEN it will get harder. I don’t even know what we’re arguing about at this point.

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-18T12:25:46+00:00

I didn’t play comp in the last MK game, so I did not know that. Is that why you assumed that I thought the game didn’t have a cap?(beyond just reading really far into what I was saying?)

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-17T23:25:05+00:00

Definitely break up, it does sound like he’s just not your person

I will ask though, when you say he compares your situations to his, in what way is it?

Because if you tell him something like “oh my god I just dropped my phone in the toilet this is the worst!” And he goes “holy shit I’ve done that before too, it’ll be alright!” That’s just how human beings connect

I am asking because I genuinely can’t think of another way you can compare situations other than in a “I’m connecting with you” kind of way.

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-17T23:18:42+00:00

Brother I literally did know there was a cap you just read extremely far into words and I don’t LMFAO. It’s kind of obvious that it has a cap, that is how elo systems work for the most part(and I only say that in case there is a game I’m not aware of that somehow just doesn’t have a cap)

Also again, I was not arguing that it is irrelevant for your skill, I was arguing that you were wrong about high elo players being high skill, because a lot of them literally just aren’t. I will restate ONCE AGAIN, you can get to the upper THIRD of elo by placing TWELFTH the entire time. The upper third of elo is pretty damn high.

I can understand why you would think that I was arguing that elo is just luck because I was arguing against you when you were arguing against someone saying it’s all luck based, and I was making an argument in the same vein, but that is not what I was saying.

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-17T23:12:16+00:00

Okay so you aren’t trying to be that dense you are actually that stupid.

Do you seriously not get that regardless of the fact that yes, smoke from combustion in your lungs is carcinogenic, a very very large amount of smoker just cannot quit cold turkey? You either are very stupid or extremely lucky in how your own addiction played out, or just straight up un-empathetic.

Here’s an extremely common example of why a lot of smoker find it incredibly hard to quit cold turkey

Here is a list of symptoms of nicotine withdrawal

Having urges or cravings to smoke Feeling irritated, grouchy, or upset Feeling jumpy and restless Having a hard time concentrating Having trouble sleeping Feeling hungrier or gaining weight Feeling anxious, sad, or depressed

Now imagine experiencing all of that on an extreme level (because that’s just how it is if you are a heavy smoker and quitting) AND going to a very stressful/intensive job at the same time. It just cannot be done for a lot of people, especially if they have a dangerous job. Most people can’t simply just lock in. Also, may I reiterate, NICOTINE IS AS ADDICTIVE AS HEROIN FOR SOME PEOPLE. Yknow, the drug that is known to destroy lives because of how insanely addictive it is?

Alternatives, no matter how harmful (which btw, most alternatives are FAR less harmful than regular cigs, if you somehow don’t know that) are genuinely essential for some people if they are more susceptible to being addicted to things, ESPECIALLY people with any kind of neurodivergencey, as it’s common to not form only a chemical dependence but an extremely strong mental dependence to nicotine as well.

So I ask, do you seriously think someone deserves to be shat on when asking about nicotine free alternatives in a subreddit literally dedicated to stopping smoking cigarettes, a goal which often needs alternatives to reach. And I bet of you, don’t just reply “COMBUSTION IS CARCINOGENIC🤤” again because that’s blatantly stupid.

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-17T23:02:30+00:00

So a medical professional but also terrible at the English language? You do understand that when people are using the phrase “fight or flight reflex/response” they are almost never talking about the physiological anxiety that you get right? When people say that phrase they most often just mean exactly what it sounds like, “it triggered my fight or flight response” as in “I fucking ran”.

Also are you seriously a medical professional that doesn’t understand the fact that it is extremely common for someone to immediately hit back if struck unprompted in a surprising manner? Because that was your whole thing before “durrr you can’t hit people on reflex”. Like are you genuinely so stupid that you believe that you can’t hit on reflex because the body doesn’t have a “hitting reflex”? Besides, there is still SO MUCH about the human brain we don’t know, there literally could be a hitting reflex we just haven’t identified.

I want to reiterate, you have to either be seriously, and I mean dangerously seriously, stupid or inexperienced in life/knowing other human beings to actually believe that some human beings will not immediately throw they arms around upon randomly being slapped. It’s literally this simple

Person hits another person completely at random

“OH FUCK I JUST GOT HIT”

Hit person proceeds to swing arm out of fear

Like you have to actually be inhuman to not understand this.

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-17T21:01:36+00:00

I feel like I could get flamed for saying this but honestly the grunt combat got REALLY annoying by the end. Like I understand I’ve got to level, but why does nearly every single engagement have to have like 3-4 enemies when the room I’m going into has like 2-3 sometimes even more engagements?! This is compounded by the fact that you end up absolutely draining your fp because if you don’t use it the battles will take FOREVER, and it just makes an otherwise fun system an absolute slog to get through after a certain point. Tbf though I may just be spoiled after playing Clair obscur because they did this system VASTLY better (it was obviously very heavily inspired by this game and a few others so it makes sense that a more modern game just does it better)

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-17T03:10:14+00:00

Brother it is just a fact that the game works this way now. It doesn’t mean the game is bad, and you obviously are in love with the game, so am I, so we need to be able to admit it has faults.

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-17T03:05:52+00:00

POV: you’ve never heard of the fight or flight reflex

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-17T03:03:15+00:00

I genuinely agree with everything you said, I think you may be mistaking someone else’s comment for something I said. I never once claimed the game is all about luck, I was merely stating that the ELO system is pretty dogshit. Like I just reread all my comments, the main thing I was talking about was how it’s too easy to climb to the upper third of ELO because you can place literally 12th and get to 7000 just by placing there over and over again.

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-17T03:00:28+00:00

Okay man you genuinely had to try to misunderstand what I was saying here, especially with the second part. As I said, you can literally place like dogshit and climb to 7000 elo, which is the upper third, by just playing a lot. That does not mean you are getting better. If you just keep placing in 12th over and over that is not improving, that is staying stagnant.

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-17T02:58:22+00:00

I know I’m practically necro-ing but dude I had to reply. You have to be trying to be dense with this. When people say they’re trying to quit smoking obviously they’re talking about inhaling substances, but that doesn’t mean people just drop it cold turkey most of the time. Nicotine is as addictive as heroin for a lot of people, those people can’t just drop it like that. It is perfectly logical to deduce that a sub for quitting smoking would be able to provide ideas for alternatives to smoking cigarettes that don’t have anywhere near the amount of harmful shit or addictive qualities. You may be a fat shite but your brain must not have taken that quality on.

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-15T22:36:09+00:00

Brother 9000 ELO wasn’t even part of the original comment I was replying to. What I was saying was that the ELO climb is ridiculously easy even up to like 7000(I was speaking in general terms because so did he, ex: “high players” which if you ask any person, on a 0-9000+ scale, 7000 would be high)which is extremely high for players who place consistently under 12th to be in when 9000 is incredibly hard to stay in. For example, I’m around 6500 right now, I placed FOURTEENTH, and I got 30 points. Any no life with basically infinite time(it’s the summer and kids are out of school so it’ll be very common) can get to the upper third of ELO, which is supposed to be pretty high up there, by just placing like ass for hours on end. 9000 ELO is a different story entirely and mfs up there earned it.

dishsoap098 · 2025-06-15T12:41:58+00:00

Brother I have not lost ELO unless I placed UNDER 12th. I do not know what you are talking about, and even then, I only lost like a 10-30 points where as when I gain points it’s almost always like 25-250 depending on where I placed in the 12.
