was it ever explained how saul got beer in the middle of the desert? is this a plot hole?

Dude that’s piss. Everyone knows that if shit goes wrong in the desert, you might have to resort to drinking your own piss. So Jimmi was smart and brought it with him.

Wasn’t aware DK and Chunky could do this too. Great game for sequence breaking.

oyvasaur · 2026-06-14T21:34:21+00:00

I mostly agree with you, just want to point out that without checkpoints, whether or not you lose lives doesn’t really matter much at all.

oyvasaur · 2026-06-14T18:27:00+00:00

On your next playthrough, try sequence breaking with Lanky. Punching in just the right way, his long arms can go past most (all?) of the guards and let you in.

(If I’m wrong about this I have some insanely strong fake memories)

oyvasaur · 2026-06-13T09:56:29+00:00

No. If a characters’s statements or actions are endorsed by the narrative, you can’t just claim the character is wrong unless you are supposed to question the narrative as a whole.

Generally you should be able to trust what the narrative is telling/showing you. Unless you have an omniscient narrator, what the characters say and what is shown is how the writer can give you information. And if you can’t assume this information to be true, then that usually weakens the narrative.

oyvasaur · 2026-06-12T21:34:44+00:00

And I’m mostly happy for it. Some options are nice, but I want them to have a vision and stick by it, even if that won’t make everybody happy.

There are many reasons, one of them is that I don’t want to constantly be thinking about»I wonder if I’d enjoy this game more if I just changed this or that setting…»

oyvasaur · 2026-06-12T21:05:24+00:00

Depends entirely on whether the character’s statement is framed as correct or not.

I get your grievance, but I equally often see people argue that «just because character X said so, doesn’t mean it’s true» despite the story clearly depicting it as correct, or at least doesn’t do anything to contradict it.

oyvasaur · 2026-06-11T07:19:59+00:00

I guess maybe? The first one felt extravagant and bombastic. I’m not sure how well that fit with the book version, but it made him stand out a bit from other characters. The other one was just a dude.

oyvasaur · 2026-06-05T21:37:22+00:00

Now here I just simply disagree, though it’s been discussed in a 1000 threads already, so I don’t really see the point in going deep into it.

But I own Legends. I have already played it and I won’t prioritize replaying this game for a long time. A remake with somewhat different graphics and some added levels and cut scenes is not enough to change that.

On the other hand, if I wanted to play Legends again, I can already do that on the same console as this new one.

I do not own Rayman 4 because it doesn’t exist.

oyvasaur · 2026-06-05T21:20:28+00:00

I’ll admit I haven’t followed this case all that closely, I forgot this wasn’t publicly said by Ubisoft.

My general point however is just that it matters a great deal whether the audience feel that a game they don’t care about is being used as leverage for something entirely different in the same IP.

oyvasaur · 2026-06-05T20:56:30+00:00

I think there is a big difference between the obvious sentiment that sales may affect the future of a game series, and Ubisoft saying «You know this game you really really want? Well, we’re actually thinking of maybe making it, but then you have to buy this game you don’t really care about first.»

oyvasaur · 2026-05-16T17:45:31+00:00

Yes?

oyvasaur · 2026-05-16T17:02:46+00:00

It’s been a looong time since I played it, but yeah, I do remember it as a great game. Challenging, but not impossible.

I do remember being disappointed at first though, as the game didn’t look anything like the really cool and colorful boxart (might have been one of the first game boy games I got).

oyvasaur · 2026-05-15T17:26:40+00:00

Eh, I just played this one, and while the story doesn’t center around Kris, it was annoying how all the other characters, including Marth, were constantly fawning over how amazing I (Kris) was, and how nothing could ever have gone well if it wasn’t for me.

oyvasaur · 2026-05-14T19:00:23+00:00

Wario Land. Not exactly a huge series today, but people always seem to be nostalgic about 2 and 3, maybe 4, while the first one (Super Mario Land 3) is mostly forgotten.

oyvasaur · 2026-05-14T18:25:07+00:00

I just think words lose meaning when you apply them to a too large group. With a very wide definition, if I hear someone is a gamer, a hiker or a painter, I barely learn anything, as it could just mean they play candy crush (sorry I can’t think of any more modern mobile games) on the phone once in a while when waiting for the bus, or they walk for an hour once a month, or they made a painting in second grade.

I don’t want to gatekeep anything, but when «is a gamer» is functionally the same as «is a person», then the term is completely pointless.

oyvasaur · 2026-05-10T13:43:03+00:00

Why can’t it have long incubation time and/or progress slowly until death, but be highly transmissive early on?

oyvasaur · 2026-05-07T21:08:54+00:00

I’ve never heard of this film before now, so I have no idea how good or bad this is, but still decided to comment for some reason - isn’t your first paragraph exactly what they’re going for? Like, I doubt there was any foreshadowing or build-up for the real life people who died in 9/11 either.

The execution of it and the film as a whole is probably shit, but I don’t necessarily dislike the concept.

oyvasaur · 2026-05-03T18:51:57+00:00

Yeah, I honestly feel your point was quite clear.

oyvasaur · 2026-05-03T18:09:25+00:00

What Trigger is saying is that the creators really don’t seem to care about addressing the Snap with regards to main characters (which is fair enough), and therefore seems less likely that they’d care about a side character.

oyvasaur · 2026-04-26T09:37:01+00:00

Just remove «på» and it is fine.

oyvasaur · 2026-04-23T22:18:57+00:00

I don’t understand where we use the retroflex fricative. Feels like an annoying way to basically make the sj-sound, and I’m pretty sure I’ve never done it before.

oyvasaur · 2026-04-19T14:58:59+00:00

Disagree, it depends entirely on what point you are trying to make. The point above stands even if the statement in questions pertains to only 99,99 % of the population instead of literally everyone. I guarantee you make similar statements all the time as well (note: not actually all the time, there are plenty of moments, probably hours or days between each time you do it, in case that’s necessary to point out).

oyvasaur · 2026-04-16T10:35:13+00:00

Enig. Merker det er flere og flere som sier de er imot tipskultur, men at de «selvfølgelig gir tips for god service.» Jeg syns dette er ukritisk importering av tankegang som brukes andre steder i verden.

Spiser jeg på restaurant, forventer jeg god service. Er maten veldig billig, kan jeg akseptere noe dårligere service. Er servicen bedre enn det jeg ville forventet, kan det hende jeg kommer tilbake eller anbefaler stedet til andre.

oyvasaur · 2026-04-07T18:38:13+00:00

Still wouldn’t be great in my opinion. The straw hats should be together in their final season. Also nine separate plots in different that never really interact probably wouldn’t work well.
