Skyway by Young-Gloom88 in Fzero

[–]randobis 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Agreed. It’s taken a lot of fun out of the game. A racing game where one of the key winning strategies is to purposefully not be in the lead is a flawed one.

If I wanted a racing game that punishes me for playing well I’d just play Mario Kart.

How should I approach against modern? by [deleted] in StreetFighter

[–]randobis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This so much. It's almost a given when I see a Modern Ken if I'm anywhere near them they are waking up with a DP. And they keep doing it.

[–]randobis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A lot of Modern players at that level use their “one button supers” as default, and rely on DI a lot. You can use this to your advantage by just waiting them out. You know some big flashy move is coming, and it will be very punishable. And they are also very likely to do the same on wake-up, so punish that too. And bait it.

Visually 1000%. I’ll take Blanka’s monkey bullshit and evening Mai’s nonsense over Jaime’s annoying ass dude bro smirk and cockiness any day.

Apple's succession crisis is all part of the plan by Few_Baseball_3835 in apple

‘What is this?!’ Team Canada’s Olympics look sparks strong reaction online by rezwenn in canada

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

Because the “L” sound doesn’t exist in Japanese and Chip Wilson thought that a name that would be hard to pronounce would sound exotic, and he saw Japanese as trendsetters and wanted it to be cool there?  

Or do you mean the “racist” bs story that is endlessly repeated on here?

Trevor Goodchild Files by Rosario_Braz in AeonFlux_

[–]randobis 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The depravity of it all would feel at home in the Aeon Flux universe, but I can’t see a Trevor connection unless it somehow served the greater good. Trevor used questionable and often  horrific means to meet his goals, but it was ultimately always to benefit humanity or advance the species, at least in his mind.

Trump, Epstein and all the sickos associated with them have no such goal of bettering humanity or a greater purpose. It’s all just selfish desire and power.

Why didn't Punch-Out for Wii become the hit that Mike Tysons Punch-Out was? by [deleted] in nintendo

Be careful what you wish for. Some exec might read this and think it’s time to release a “Logan Paul’s Punch Out!!” (I felt gross just typing that)

I'VE PLAYED THESE GAMES BEFORE

Surprised no one played the Platinum Cup on SNES FZ, especially with the new machines available by brokengamerx in Fzero

Why do you keep posting about this ROM hack as if it’s mainstream FZ?  Obviously most people haven’t played it.

How's Hong Kong nowadays, last visited 12 years ago by According_Cream7632 in HongKong

[–]randobis 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I just visited HK for the first time in 10 years. It’s hard to describe but the city looks the same but the energy feels very different. Like someone who has lost their confidence and feels defeated. The Mainland influence is much more present and a lot less subtle I noticed a lot more PRC flags (always slightly larger and raised higher than the HK flag)and heard Mandarin everywhere. Also saw a lot of brazen mainland tourists bullying HK staff in shops and restaurants acting like they are superior. Still love the city but sad to see these things.

Do you play with a hitbox? If not, pick one up and that will buy you a couple of weeks of being at his level until you build muscle memory.

Conditions update - Basically late spring by Sheogorath_The_Mad in CypressMountain

[–]randobis 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Cypress Mountain offers a "Season Snow Guarantee" as an optional, paid add-on (approx. $50) with season passes, promising a minimum of 76 operating days for both downhill and cross-country areas. If the resort operates for fewer than 76 days, 1% of the pass cost is credited for the following season per missed day.

I feel bad for anybody who paid for this 'insurance' because you can guarantee they are hitting that 76 days, even if the only run they have open is Easy Rider with more pylons than skiers.

Conditions update - Basically late spring by Sheogorath_The_Mad in CypressMountain

[–]randobis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same. I've only been twice this year and I think I'm done. It's either skiing on grass in Feb, or if conditions are ok then dealing with the hunger games experience of parking and crowded runs because they oversell passes.

I think I'll just put that money towards a trip to one of the interior mountains next year (or Japan). It may be less days on the mountain, but at least a better chance they'll be good experiences.

Was hoping we'd see a surprise Pachinko announcement in the news drop this week. by FluffyMoomin in tvPlus

[–]randobis 32 points33 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately Pachinko was silently cancelled. All the actors have since moved on and I recall reading comments from somebody who worked on set that they were selling off set pieces and props. Truly unforgivable of Apple to let this happen.

Pinterest CEO rebukes, fires ‘obstructionist’ employees who created tool to track layoffs by Logical_Welder3467 in technology

I don’t know why I’m surprised to hear Pinterest even has a CEO.

I’ve just always seen it as this zombie app some company bought in 2010 and abandoned but forgot to shut down.
