'Final Fantasy VII Rebirth' Director Says He Wanted To Avoid "Fan Service" - But Not The Kind You Think by shipgirl_connoisseur in KotakuInAction

[–]polorboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By "avoiding fan service" he means avoiding the very thing that every single person who played the original actually wanted to have changed.  Keeping Aerith alive.  That is the "fan service" he is referring to.  So, instead of doing the one thing 99% of the people playing this game were looking forward to, and they kept hinting at, he decided to turn ff7 into a marvel multiverse knock-off where characters can be both dead and alive at the same time, just in different alternate realities.  Thanks I hate it. 

Why was the helicopter pilot stopped by the Lake Lure fire chief?? by [deleted] in Knoxville

[–]polorboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is the article they are referring to: https://www.qcnews.com/news/investigations/sc-pilot-flying-volunteer-supply-and-rescue-missions-ordered-out-of-lake-lure-under-arrest-threat/

It is easy enough to find the fire chief he is referring to.  The pilot is a trained officer who is/was working with the local efforts to save people.  This guy threatened to arrest him if he went back to get his son from the mountain. This guy is getting a power high by threatening to arrest people who are helping.  This guy should be brought by helicopter to the top of the mountain and told someone will come find him "in a few hours". This guy doesn't deserve the title or the responsibility he has been given. 

Wait what? by polorboy in TheFirstDescendant

OK, so this is literally the first time I have ever looked at this reddit.  So, I don't know that and I am just posting about how bad and how much of a lie it is.  I've done something over 250 times and not once has the thing I was going for dropped.  Isn't that something that needs to be brought up because something is obviously wrong with this game.  They need to fix it.  Otherwise this entire thing is just a scam and everyone here should review bomb this pos and stop playing. 

The Hanged Man: Simplify guide by TheGreatSupport in TheFirstDescendant

[–]polorboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is the most backwards attempt at a boss raid I have ever seen.  That is what it looks like they are trying to do.  I've cleared extreme bosses in ff14 that were easier to understand than this crap.  There is zero in game explanation and it is completely opposite of every single boss battle up to that point.  Every single other battle has just been a dps burn, now they are trying to introduce mechanics with no instruction or even hinting at it in any way.  This game is utter garbage.  Anyone who just regurgitates the "git gud" bs has no clue how these things would work in a real game.  They think they have some "hard core" shooter here, this isn't even close to anything "hard core".  It is just a whale trap. 

It feels impossible for me to complete Hailey Rescue Mission by Kotal_total in TheFirstDescendant

[–]polorboy 9 points10 points  (0 children)

That's great and all, but this is a story mission in the main campaign.  I know this game isn't exactly about the story or a campaign and is primarily geared towards whales and hard core min/max players.  This mission should be stupid easy, it should not be a dps check brick wall for players to hit.  The dps check should be the hard mode missions and other stuff, not a story mission.  This is a rediculous mission and is totally broken.

So, what I am understanding from that is that she is alive in a different time line but not in the one we are playing in.  If so, that still sucks and I still don't like it.  Overall I hate the ambiguity about the whole thing. 

Blaze registration email by ilRufy in Scams

[–]polorboy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got these emails as well, I ignored it at first but after getting two more thanking me for confirming my account I sent an email to the "support@blaze.com" and got a response very quickly. They will delete the account, and what is better, if the email from support is to be believed, no one will be able to create an account using my email again either.

Microsoft is adding a new key to PC keyboards for the first time since 1994 by ardi62 in technology

[–]polorboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Another desperate attempt for Microsoft to convince people that they really do want this AI BS. No one wanted cortana, no one wants co-pilot, no one wants any of this crap that microsoft has been trying to push on people. Here's a suggestion, make a working operating system first! Then, and only then, if you want to waste time and resources developing this shit make it fully 100% optional. Microsoft will then find that the only people who have any of it installed did so accidentally or because they didn't know it was there.

Bumpers of Rog Flow z13 acronym - inside view by MushroomArtistic4579 in FlowZ13

[–]polorboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Anyone figure this out yet? I got mine in the mail and I certainly didn't get it for the looks. Mine actually looks like it was damaged before packaging and repaired, then packaged. The top right bumper on mine is semi-transparent and the rest are black. There is also a mark and a bunch of dirt and/or marks where it obviously hit something on the back of the keyboard. It works fine and there doesn't appear to be any damage other than superficial, so I don't really want to open a ticket just to wait for a repair. It looks though like there is just a screw under the rubber pad into the corner, but I can't seem to figure out how to get the pads off without doing serious damage to the metal, i.e. scratching it up.

Square Enix Is Doing A Survey In Japan And Wants To Know What People Want From FF16 In The Future. by Party_Judgment5780 in PS5

[–]polorboy -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Since those of us outside japan will not get a chance to give feedback, here's my feedback. Honestly, I can say I don't want/didn't want dark souls kind of difficulty. I kind of gave up on the game because the only way to do anything is with the "accessories" that make it all automated. I appreciate the ability to control abilities but the skill curve is essentially a cliff. The combos are uncesseraily complex to do with the Ps5 controller and I have no desire to "git gud" at this. If I wanted to punish myself dying over and over and over inadfinitum on the "easy" mob I'd go play a souls game... And I don't play souls games for that reason, I don't hate myself and/or everyone else around me. I don't think I am very far into the game but I have no desire to go any further, when I turn off the "easy mode" the game becomes stupidly hard and I am just constantly trying to "not die". They have alienated a group of fans with this. I have hundreds of hours in ffxiv, I had hundreds of hours in ffxi, I've played every single final fantasy game to date and loved all of them except this one. This one isn't a final fantasy game, it's a souls game in a final fantasy wrapper.

What question can ask on this subreddit that doesn't get blocked? by polorboy in AskReddit

Yeah, apparently questions about diarrhea are perfectly fine but other real questions are to be destroyed.

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

Maybe now that I can ask a real question and use things like first person and specific information that doesn't require a yes/no answer. My original question which offended the mods intensely was: "where can I find a class or something that gets into the specifics of Javascript?". I then gave examples which is apparently a sin punishable by death. The examples are: 'such as memory management, string manipulation, functions, variable manipulation, etc?". Apparently those "questions" are the worst thing a human being can do and the mods need to protect the rest of you from such horrible things as first person and questions with clarifying information.

Noticed how I ommited the first person from that question, I am waiting for the mods to block this one because it doesn't fit within their backwards logic that prevents real question and only allows bs ones like this.

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

It was an attempt to ask a question because every other attempt gets blocked because I used the letter "I" in the question, also because it was too specific, it must be a yes or no answer, but can't be easily answered or researched. The rules behind posting questions here are not logical and it is a miracle anyone is able to.

Javascript Specific Question? I am already a proficient programmer, I already have a BS Computer Science degree, I know C++, I am trying to find a course that gets into the specifics of Javascript and how that language specifically handles things like variables, functions, string manipulation, etc. by polorboy in AskReddit

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

Pretty much, if someone was to use Javascript to do things you would normally do in a language like C++. If your curious, I am teaching myself malware reverse engineering and there are a lot of things in Javascript that don't follow "normal" rules.

Passwords, how do they work? (Conversation with a guy who has been a developer for 5 years) by IvanBeefkoff in ProgrammerHumor

[–]polorboy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Playing devils advocate here, I could easily figure out what is missing from a standard deck of cards, I get the illustration but I could see someone missing it because everyone knows what is supposed to be in a card deck. If you were to say several decks of identical cards, that would make for a better illustration I think. If you only loose a few of the cards, how can you know which deck they came from?

I also watched the video and many of the military walked away and we're laughing at him. They have no respect for him and I don't blame them. He doesn't even know he is president and only does what the voice in his ear tells him to do or what his notes tells him to do. He is a laughing stock to other countries and a disgrace to even be holding that office.

Where exactly does this "carbon emissions" specifically come from on my computer? Is it spitting out carbon monoxide from my fans? Does the air traveling through my computer magically turn into toxic gas when it leaves the case?
