When Dread dropped, people were so gung-ho about it that I thought I was the only person that didn't really like it. The EMMI sections sucked, the final boss took me like 15 tries, and all the lategame bosses would take off like two energy tanks every time they bumped you. Basically it became...

That was Hironobu Sakaguchi, I thought? And he isn't involved with this. Well, I'm somewhat optimistic. The endings of the first two were ridiculously bad though. If they're going to make a big thing out of reviving Aerith, then they should have made her death clearer in Part 2 instead of the...

Too bad I'm not around Dallas, would love to meet the one who says men don't approach her at all. It's hard for me to tell who is available or not in this age group and I assume most of the women I meet this age are taken/married. So I only ask out the 27-30 crowd and it's a narrow band that...

Things I'd like to see in upcoming Metroid games: -Almost no dialogue. Dialogue with a navigation computer in hub rooms (ala Fusion or Dread) is fine, but there should be absolutely no fucking pop-up dialogue while you're out exploring like what Prime 4 did. -Crocomire's Skeleton should be a...

We don't have a generalized Metroid series thread, and it's necessary at this point with all of the likely upcoming games the series will get. Things that are all but confirmed: 2D -Super Metroid Remake -Metroid Fusion Remake -Metroid Dread 2 3D -Metroid Prime 5 Also extremely likely is...

Has there ever actually been a game whose protagonist was a black woman in a wheelchair? Or like a trans in general? Or a lesbian black woman? I always hear one of those three brought up when people are talking about something being changed for modern audiences but I don't think any of those...

I really liked FF7 Rebirth at first - it's everything I wanted Remake to be, from an actual re-creation of FF7's world perspective - and a pretty solid game on its own too. But, man, they just killed it with the whole Aerith thing at the end. It was so ungodly stupid. Not sure why both FF7...

No thread for this yet so here's one. New Fromsoft game, likely release date October (not June like most people expect). Similar aesthetic to Bloodborne, may be a spiritual successor of sorts. Switch 2 only which will upset everybody. Looks good otherwise, is a system seller like it or not...

This has a PS5 port, I think it might be remastered/HD. Edit: Just went and got it (it's quite cheap). It isn't a remaster. Well, it might be some sort of slight-remaster. The character models are in this sort of half-HD, everything else is in 2000 PS1 pre render. The "half-HD" effect might...

I had a nice little supermarket encounter earlier with a very pretty Latina (she looked like Nina Drama, if you know who that is). She accidentally ran into me in an aisle, apologized, and gave me a beautiful smile that we lingered on for a second. A few minutes later I saw her again and went...

I guess you took me off ignore, that's cool. I'm 5'10'' or so, taller with shoes on, and taller than the majority of the guys that I know. Also, it's less about comparison, because I'm usually the "girl magic" friend who other guys look at and and go "how do you do it". Aside from one...

I don't even go out on dates anymore, because quite frankly almost every woman I even spend any real time talking with proceeds to find a way to completely turn me off. Like I started to really hit it off with a woman in my complex last year, a cute one, only to quickly discover she's batshit...

The whole thing seems like a controlled demolition, like they're screwing people over as much as humanly possible with bad policies and out of control capitalism, just to get as much money and power as possible before it all collapses and ushers in the new thing where they have even more power...

So I found that mixing these two things together results in a ridiculously amazing coating for a steak. I added some onto a dry, well-done steak that I bungled, and it full-on saved the steak and turned it into something very tasty. Safe to say this Truff stuff is even better than olive oil for...

Yeah, look, I'm not a body cam connoisseur. I don't know what's old or new or what if something pops up and I haven't seen it before. The Asmon / Dentist lady one is old but I noted that. It's just worth revisiting because it's so good. Just an increasing series of insane whack-a-doodle...

My computer is basically out of hard drive space and I'm not sure why. I've been consolidating a lot of old files from previous computers, which took up a lot of my hard drive space, but a lot more space disappeared than what I'm using. Once I got below 30 GB I stopped putting anything on this...

As in, just calling the game Zelda? Or having Zelda be the protagonist? Or both? I'd be down for a game with Zelda as the protag. Echoes of Wisdom doesn't really count and CD-I Zelda's Adventure or whatever sure as hell doesn't count. Zelda was pretty hot in her last 3 iterations (Twilight...

I'm barely ever in the position to meet new people. Very few opportunities. Most of my longtime friends moved away in the past five years, nobody wants to live in this state I guess. I've got like two people left I hang out with, both dudes. Though in the past month I started grilling outside in...

This is why I have never had a place with any sort of detachable shower head. I don't need more competition.

If I needed another reason to not like Nintendo, the Switch 2 power plug is this big stupid box. All my other modern devices have normal plugs, but not them! Here it is taking up two spaces, just barely, just enough to fucking piss me off! Luckily, I don't need any more spaces there, because I...

LED lights are terrific. I got a bunch of these strips that light up in various colors a while back, still figuring out how to apply them. Maybe one behind the TV that glows faint blue, a couple up high on the bedroom walls that turn the room reddish. I saw a fellow Tesla owner who had an LED...

The Ocarina remake really needs to be a full-scope, Demon Souls style remake where the budget and effort exude out of its pores. Not a remaster or a cash-grab. Then the system will have its system-seller. Also, I really hope they give it the actual Ocarina visual style (only now with HDR and...

The woman I lost my virginity to did hula hooping. She also did fire-spinning (two fireballs at the end of a rope, swung in arcs). I think she also did fire hooping, which is ridiculous. I took some pictures of her doing this, but most of them were quite blurry (2000's digital cameras weren't...

And now this new one divides the good guys and bad guys up into a blue side and red side respectively on the poster. The fuck. Well, I'm hearing this movie is awesome, probably gonna go see it today. About time they did an actual tournament in an MK movie. Very few of the actual games had a...

I need to stop watching bodycam videos. ...or watch more of them

Wouldn't that control both outlets though? There is a switch nearby that doesn't go with any ceiling lights. I'll give it a try. Yep, that works, Big Lanx got it. Weird that only half the outlet is connected to that switch and not the other half.

I have what might be a particularly dumb question. Got a new wall-mount surge protector for my new TV, but only one of the two outlets behind the TV actually works (the lower one). I called in a maintenance request to replace the outlet, but in the meantime, is it alright for the surge protector...

Switch 2 is just the "remake N64 games and make a really big deal about it each time" console at the moment. It's kinda pathetic.

Rewatched John Wick 4 on a 4K Ultra Blu-Ray. Those are really growing on me now that I have a G5 TV. Suffice to say, the movie is still insanely good, and the one thing in the 2020s that made me think theaters aren't obsolete. Seeing it in IMAX was something else, wish I could again. The G5 is...

What's DON? I have 3 relic slots in two sets. Yeah I found that it does get a lot easier with 2. Had someone linkdead and not return midway through, and I stuck around since the other guy did, and lo, the bosses had significantly less HP and we won. I've seen people with Hoarfrost just...

Long, but good video. Rebirth is one of my favorite RPGs of the past 15 years or so (right behind Dragon Quest 11, really) which makes it piss me off even more how much they dropped the ball with all of the emotional moments from the original game. They totally bungled the final act, just like...

Taking another swing at Nightreign today since it's been coming up again recently. Nope, it still sucks. What kills it is A) The lack of gaining any real cumulative power from each run and B) If one person ragequits, IT DOESN'T EVER REPLACE THEM. Managed to beat the Cerberus, at least. Have...

Fast forward a few years and I finally got my G series TV. Probably a good thing I got the G5 instead of G1. It's a lot more advanced now and since it's the last TV I'm getting for a long time, I ended up with a better one. The C1 was really good for a while but it wasn't a "forever TV". I'm...

Service entrance? Yeah, that's what I figured, the protection got tripped on it and it's usable but needs to be replaced. The other one I'm using still has protection on it, also mad old though. Getting something newer/better for that wall. It's only for the five TV-related cords. I can't get...

Using a different one right now. Turns out one of the two outlets in the wall behind the TV is dead. I'll need to get that fixed. Going to order a giant wall-based surge protector and plug everything TV-related into that. I reorganized the TV setup for the first time in many years, and bundled...

Unearthed this surge protector in my box of old cords. When I turn it on, Grounded lights up but not Protected. What does that mean? Should I replace it? Need a cord hub for my TV and systems, to put behind the entertainment center, and the main surge protector is otherwise occupied (and can't...

I'm also sorry you feel that way. The right woman makes everything easier, not harder. If adding someone ends up being subtraction, then walk away from it. Adding someone might be a lot better than you think though. Lots of women don't mind giving a guy space. It's pretty much a requirement with...

Huh, yeah, I guess I'm trusting this thermometer to be correct. The temps always seem spot-on. I think the bloodiness the other day was just a lack of resting. I'll test the thermometer though. Is meat temp not that important? I'm not trying to get a brain worm (then again I almost never have...

No, after 30 minutes of playing I just took this guy's advice: I was going to play it a lot on vacation but nah I'm good. Teaching myself to grill and catching up on some books instead, and I have 80 hours left over

Yeah actually, I kinda did My favorite thing was farming Obsidian Warrior (Yasuke) for chunks of EXP mid game. Went from level 70 to 110 real quick and then flew through the rest of the game. I probably killed his ass about 50 times. Start the level (it's a boss fight only), cast Sloth, unleash...
