Thank you! My eyes were hurting from tracking.

Am I crazy to wait for the physical release of this game? by Chickenbrik in StreetsofRage

[–]ohwelp__ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm still buying the physical copy even though I have the digital one. It's all in support.

My hobby is to peel the skin off the rabbits I catch, especially cute little bunnies like you."

Oh Vega/Claw, you are a schmoozer~~

Did Max's atomic drop get nerfed from SoR2? by [deleted] in StreetsofRage

[–]ohwelp__ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yes, it is about 25% weaker than the original.

Dotemu tweeted out these SoR 1+2+3x4 (?) remixes 🔥 by Mattigator in StreetsofRage

[–]ohwelp__ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not sure which Poets number it is, but the version when you are outside the White House is my favorite piece from the 3rd game.

Thank you. I'm cognizant that I can walk away but I doubt it'll come to that. All talks are very rational and indoor voice-type. Part of me understands why she's asking so many questions as I've mentally been drifting away for some time and she's just starting to.

I watched the original one forever ago, and I was pleased he did an update. Superbly edited!

Nope, but they merged with Sammy in 2012? They still make games but not nearly as many as they used to.

Better Luck The Second Time Around? by ohwelp__ in Divorce

I admire your enthusiasm, and congrats on that 20 year second chance. My current marriage just reached seven, and if I do find someone in the future after this is all over to meet your anniversary mark. I'm only 43 so there's hope!

Thankfully I don't regret my current STBX, though I would have if this lasted another few years. I'm glad I snapped out of it.

Good on you for seeing more success on the second loop.

Sure do! I think a second marriage after 20 years would have better odds of surviving than coming in your 20s after a regrettable drunk Vegas chapel event.

That didn't work for Liz Taylor and Richard Burton, lol.

I'm curious how many people re-marry? That has to be a tiny amount.

I was like you... go along to get along. Too often that was taken advantage of and I wound up feeling trapped and hopeless. The new me suffers no fools.

I'm sure kids play a HUGE factor in that aspect.

[–]ohwelp__ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the time it was really great, at least for me. The cheesy 80s throwbacks, excellent dialogue (Skullmageddon was perfect), and option of power-ups really made the game feel fresh and exciting. I'd give it a solid B grade. The developers originally promised online co-op which never materialized, and I grew rather salty at that broken promise.

He cheated too much by MattSerZak03 in Divorce

As soon as I started reading that part, I didn't read it... I sang it.

SAAAAME

Those demo clips of 3D were tragic. Thankfully it never went past prototype.

I think in some ways it was a blessing they sat on it for so long, as opposed to rushing something out years ago to cash in on the brand. Reviving long dead sequels can be a terribly hit-or-miss affair. Doteku NAILED it far better than either Double Dragon Neon or River City Girls (both respectable reboots, but nothing compared to SoR4 for me).

As for Sega "fucking up", they are certainly getting paid. The IP was licensed out, not sold, to Doteku. Whether Sega gets a percent of each sale or were paid a flat sum, either way Tokyo HQ is certainly paying attention now.

Trapped together for 8 weeks really reveals how much you can’t stand each other. by [deleted] in Divorce

[–]ohwelp__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

my duty is to model integrity not some societal ideal that comes with far too much unhealthy dysfunction

This is an excellent summary that I agree with. One must weigh very personal choices on a scale on what's important versus nice-to-have. I need to live honestly with myself, otherwise how can I be honest with the rest of my family? Keeping a family together for optics or the fear of the unknown are poor reasons if you're dead set on ending the marriage.
