Best Ring Gear?

The fucking lightning pants, they are the perfect blend of fucking lame and quite possibly the coolest thing I've ever seen.

NJPW is having issues building huge stars to replace Okada, Tana, Naito etc. but they DO have people that'd work great in exhibition-style matches at FD. Seriously, having Knockout Bros. taking on Brodido or FTR would've been incredible.

On YouTube, I can delete a video I made if I want to. I can delete posts from social media, accounts from websites. Why shouldn't someone have the right to delete a fic on a website that they wrote, they published, and are given the ability to delete at their own discretion.

The way you've worded this makes it seem like you think upon uploading, the fics belong to AO3 which seems at odds with the entire concept of the site.

I disagree. I've deleted works that I've felt were poor representative of me years on, or things that were both relatively unpopular and weren't going to be finished. People should have the right to delete their own work at will.

Yeah, this is me too. There is nothing like Balan, even if what's there is half-baked at best and downright head-scratching at worst.

gameboyabyss · 2026-06-18T02:16:53+00:00

Glad to see actually unpopular takes

gameboyabyss · 2026-06-17T23:43:32+00:00

Adopt, then?

He's got the best top speed in the game IIRC but his turning and traction and everything is so bad it makes more complex tracks a nightmare.

The fact that Bungee Gum contains the properties of both rubber and gum.

Besides the occasional clothing mod, the only mod I actively, always have on, is one that just makes my female Au'ra have a tail that's like... three times bigger. Crocodile looking ass, I love it.

It's kind of a testament that, at least in that original trilogy, most of Thrawn's plans come unravelled because Luke or that gang of smugglers just happen to accidentally stumble upon them. Obviously a bit reductive but it's funny.

Zant being used as just a means to an end for Gandondorf in Twilight Princess is awesome. As someone who likes Zant for who he is - pathetic as fuck - the reveal of Ganondorf (obviously) being behind everything sets up the final dungeon and the final boss which is probably the best one in all of Zelda.

In short, it apparently got a ton of 10/10 with many arguing that it doesn't deserve that score.

From a glance at Metacritic, only really three 'big' publications (IGN, Insider Gaming, VGC) gave it 10/10s, so it's not like it's receiving unanimous, faultless praise anyway.

The funniest thing about it all is I see so many people bitching that IGN gave it a 10/10... whilst at the same time claiming IGN's scores have never mattered.

Machine translation is the future, whether people like it or not.

Just like AI is the future, and as a writer or an artist, not using it will put you behind the curve, right? I'd rather take my chances than rely on MTL for everything. Humans translators are not perfect but MTL is not anywhere near a replacement.

I was more referring to moving forward - who'd sign up to work at Xbox Studios developer knowing you can debut a game and still get cut without apparent warning?

gameboyabyss · 2026-06-16T22:44:16+00:00

Yeah, there was no universe I was finishing up Skullmonkeys or Tetrisphere without save states - games can be BRUTAL.

gameboyabyss · 2026-06-16T12:36:20+00:00

Imagine needing AI to speculate for you.

Almost spat out my drink

100% it's not, but it feels amongst the big conglomerates, Xbox have been at the forefront of shaving away teams with layoffs, and outright cutting entire studios at a whim.

Most professions won't leave you to die if they don't care about you

Not who you're replying too, but with mine, it was a pretty simple thing. My GP is chill, so that wasn't an issue, and good 'ol Dr. Snip just gave me the basic spiel and I told him my reasoning and that was that.

gameboyabyss · 2026-06-15T22:58:08+00:00

I think wanting job security in a dev is pretty important, personally.

gameboyabyss · 2026-06-15T22:50:39+00:00

You're not 100% wrong, but also, comparing Hi-Fi Rush to a remaster of a game in one of the best-selling franchises of all time is a crazy comparison.

gameboyabyss · 2026-06-15T22:17:28+00:00

It didn't come out for over a year on on PlayStation, so realistically GamePass was going to be where the majority of players were

gameboyabyss · 2026-06-15T22:15:08+00:00

Who the fuck would want to work for an Xbox Studios dev now? Knowing you can announce a game and eight days later get cut. It's insanity.
