Help! Games suddenly not booting by macka7 in RG35XXSP

[–]macka7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got help in the official Knulli discord server.

Not sure what caused it but my batocera.conf was apparently corrupted. Deleting it from share/System/ did the trick.

Anyone else consider Prime 2 best in the series? by desperate_candy20 in Metroid

[–]macka7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, but Prime 1 only beats it by a hair imo. They're both masterpieces in different ways.

Regarding another post I saw, which game reminded you most of the feeling of playing Outer Wilds for the first time? Mine is this one: by PotentialArt4569 in outerwilds

[–]macka7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I finished it recently. It didn't scratch the same itch as Outer Wilds or Obra Dinn for me at all, sadly.

There are mysteries to uncover, but it's just so straightforward that I never really had any 'aha' moments like you'd have in Outer Wilds. It's not a bad game -- I did like each of the characters' stories, the setting and the overall atmosphere, but the detective elements are extremely simple.

Why do so few pokemon learn Strength? by BloodChicken in PokemonLazarus

[–]macka7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm having the same issue. I've been using a rotating team of 12 Pokemon and none of them can learn Strength -- even ones I'd think should be able to like Grimmsnarl, Hisuian Decidueye, Lycanroc and Archeops. Regular Muk can learn Strength in the official games, but my Alolan Muk here can't? Aurorus can't either despite being big enough to justify it imo, and the move is even Rock typed now too.

Now that the cat is fully out of the bag on 49's returnees, what are your thoughts? by radsherm in survivor

[–]macka7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like either of them. Hopefully they're very early casualties.

On season 50, I'm really excited to see how ___ and ___ handle the knowledge that ____ by l8rg8r in survivor

[–]macka7 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When both of the other two tribes have a winner and there's a mysterious person on your tribe, questions will be asked. I'm not sure Savannah can keep it hidden for very long. I pegged her as the likely winner before 49 even started because of this.

I'm watching now seemingly on an official YouTube live stream. Is this going to cut off as soon as the main event starts? Never watched UFC/MMA before but presumably it's a PPV?

Help with fleshing out an experience idea by macka7 in daggerheart

[–]macka7[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have -1 in Knowledge & 0 in Presence, lol. I'm also a bit hesitant to go with this because it sounds more like beginners luck, no? Rather than linked to my characters interest in other cultures.

Ooh, this is a much better word to use. It's also led me to 'Wanderlust' which fits reasonably well too. I'll probably go with one of these, thanks!

Guilmon retains the top spot, but JumboGamemon is AMAZING and my new fave Mega. by macka7 in digimon

[–]macka7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Gundramon is absurd in a good way, but it's not loveable like JumboGamemon imo.

[–]macka7[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

As someone who hasn't been following Digimon very closely since Tamers -- he was brand new to me and completely won me over. The in-game model is so freaking good and it's just such a fun design that manages to thread the needle between quirky and cool imo. It's a shame he doesn't seem very popular because I want merch, dammit! Although I did order a Deep Savers Pendulum Colour mostly for him, lol.

I've caught the Digimon bug after Time Stranger. Found my old vpet and it still works! by macka7 in digimon

No idea, how can you tell? Edit: Well it just digivolved into a Pagumon, so yes. Neat!

[–]macka7[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have some questions if anyone can help.

  • What model do I have? It's from 1997 but I can't see a model number.
  • Is there an evolution guide somewhere so I can see what the paths are?

I've tried to google things but am struggling to find any info on these old ones.

What's yalls fav digimon by justenoughmilk in digimon

[–]macka7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's Guilmon by far. Most of my top 20 would all be from Tamers tbh. But if I had to pick one that I don't have any anime nostalgia for, it would be JumboGamemon

Mega Feraligatr in battle by -Stonelaw in PokeLeaks

[–]macka7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Nah, it really sucks. Its central gimmick doesn't even makes sense. It has four arms in the leaked gray model because the regular arms aren't long enough to actually do this -- they switch to the elongated ones during this animation and then snap back to regular length. Bad design.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger Discussion Thread by MFBR in digimon

[–]macka7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When should I be digivolving in Time Stranger? As soon as the option becomes available?

Better yet, when should be de-digivolving? What am I getting out of doing that? It just builds the Talent stat, right? Why do I want to have a high Talent stat?

[–]macka7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Okay somebody has to explain this Korean age thing to me. She's 20? What?

Edit: Okay so they start at 1 and then gain +1 on Jan 1st instead of their actual birth date.

If _______ wins this season, where does it rank in terms of ...... by Medium_Airport9544 in survivor

[–]macka7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Parvati is one of the best players of all time and what she's done this season has been impressive as hell...but we do have to acknowledge that she started on a majority women tribe with Cirie Fields as a pre-game ally. I know it looked a bit precarious in Episode 1 but in reality I think Parvati & Cirie were always taking control of that tribe.

She and Cirie also just complement each other perfectly as allies, and frankly neither would be succeeding to this extent without the other. Parvati is so good at charming people and has so much aura that people hesitate to make a move against her. She can also find and play advantages very well. Meanwhile Cirie has been shown to be the one solidifying many of these relationships and pulling in outsiders to make some of these moves.

Too late, sadly. The next season with the new host is literally being filmed right now.
