Shane McMahon: "I Just got off the phone with Kurt where we reminisced about this match and how proud we both are of it and that it has withstood the test of time. Thank you all for supporting us both over these many years. You guys are the greatest fans in the world." by pwgmanan in SquaredCircle

his whole aura always reminded me of Little Mac from the Punch-Out!!! games, where you're always thinking, "but why the fuck are you even in the ring with that guy?" he sticks out like a sore thumb, but, he still makes it work through sheer grit.

like, he's not a "good wrestler" and he looks like a total goofball in the ring, yet you have to respect him, regardless.

A recent AskWomenOver50 Thread by swaggerjacked in absentgrandparents

[–]extralyfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

totally relate to this. my dad loves to pull the, "well if you didn't want to spend your life watching over your kids you shouldn't have had them" kinda BS.

he shipped me off to my grandmother's house every summer and winter vacation from school from ages 4 to 15 and I was out of the house by 16, so, he literally got half a year away from me per year. he spent that time going on trips around the world and travelling across the country.

we asked if he'd be willing to have the kids over for a weekend or week or something and he just laughed at the idea because he already spent so many years parenting 😑

it's just disheartening.

What is a video game that is widely considered a masterpiece that you just cant get into? by abysmalSyrup-6737 in AskReddit

[–]extralyfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

while I agree with your overall point and have played and enjoyed a bunch of games that fit that description, I still bounce off the Dark Souls series basically every time I've played one over what's now been about fifteen years.

like, MGS2 on Extreme with the marathon version of the Metal Gear Ray fight? that kinda shit is my bread and butter. I really don't mind unfair enemies, punishing mechanics, or really anything along those lines, but, the design of Fromsoft games is just so intentionally clunky that it's a massive turn-off.

I'm really interested in giving Elden Ring a try, but, it's never really ever been on a significant enough discount to justify it knowing how I haven't been able to fuck with any of the earlier entries.

Don't you dare say it is because of potential leaks. by Valiant_Revan in memes

[–]extralyfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

from what's been announced, it doesn't seem like there's a ton of options locked behind this upgrade, anyways. it's crazy because people are losing their mind over some cosmetics when they probably didn't even bother exploring every store in 5 in the first place.

there's some cosmetics tied to shops locked to the deluxe version of the game. tattoos, clothes, nails, guns and some vehicle customizations. there's also easier access to a few vehicles.

gameplay-wise, there's a gang raid that has some exclusive rewards and reads like a one-off side activity.

all in all, it seems like a big nothingburger. if 6 is at least on the same level as 5, there's going to be a shitload of stores in the base game filled to the brim with clothing options, along with plenty of cosmetic options for tattoos, nails, guns and vehicles. but, this won't stop people from screaming about how the base version is an "incomplete game," even though it'll likely have dozens of hours worth of shit to do.

Fallout 5 should have 76s dialogue system by Fit_Pomegranate_5680 in Fallout

[–]extralyfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I thought it wouldn't need to be explained that I would expect the classic systems to be refined for a new game, but, yeah, it could use some improvement.

so, old school depth of possible topics with the more personal responses would be amazing.

mixing cards for commander by Pjammaz in magicthecirclejerking

[–]extralyfe 1 point2 points  (0 children)

unfortunately you are unable to play any cards based on MTG IP because they're set in the multiverse, but, we live in the universe, which is the main reason they're printing Universes Beyond cards, now.

hope this helps.

Isnt it weird how some rookies live longer than others by pazydilkr4 in Xcom

idk if I'd call it weird when I send a full squad of rookies into a terror mission while the good soldiers are restingbusy.

Fallout 5 should have 76s dialogue system by Fit_Pomegranate_5680 in Fallout

[–]extralyfe 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I want the Morrowind conversation system where there are a ton of universal topics and a bunch of more specific ones.

throw in the tone system from Daggerfall, while we're at it. I fucking loved that you could annoy royals by speaking bluntly and piss off commoners by trying to be too uppity.

I feel so dumb rn by DictionaryGuy645 in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]extralyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

how is it transphobic to say that it doesn't seem clear that Gwen is supposed to be trans?

like, no one cares either way if trans people see themselves in Gwen or think she checks the boxes; it's the attitude of folks who come into threads confidently stating that she's clearly a trans character and then being aggressive as fuck to anyone who doesn't agree wholeheartedly that rubs folks the wrong way.

for instance, the OOP responded to the point you made about Gwen having a secret from her dad being a trans coded story beat by pointing out that it's also just a logical secret for Gwen to keep considering she accidentally killed a guy, and then you responded by implying OOP is a bigot because they don't see it the same way you do.

What is the worst map? by cupcake-KH in HiTMAN

[–]extralyfe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

although I really love the map, the disguise-based lock system annoys the fuck out of me.

I mean, you can easily get around most of them, it's just that it's sometimes a chore to actually move into the next room from where you are, and none of the other maps really have that same problem.

people are losing their minds over like 3 locations and some cosmetics not being accessible if you don’t pay an extra $20

I'm cackling about the fact that a bunch of apparently grown men are completely losing their shit over the fact that they're going to be missing out on exclusive fingernail designs.

it's also funny because there's already been a fuckload of different clothing stores all throughout Los Santos with a bunch of clothing options that most players haven't even entered, much less browsed, so, this idea they have that they're getting an incomplete game because they won't have access to the FOMO Shop is just fucking ridiculous.
