  1. I've been playing Shantae all wrong till the second dungeon...

  2. Why isn't there more VR games like that with traditional movement? It seems viable. Probably not marathon-a-whole-game viable but viable. Anyhow, I really do like what I'm seeing from above and from the limited streams I've seen (late-game with some monsters somewhere dark and rocky). The restrictiveness of first-person view and commitment to movement works well together (think Alien Isolation). It kind of mimics the tank controllers with fixed third-person angles of RE1-3. RE7 also seems to have some jankiness to the enemies as well (in the above, monster guy misses twice with a shovel when it really seemed like it should've found its mark). Perhaps shenanigans like the video I posted is possible.
  3. I don't think I can be bothered if Mercy lost her place in the every evolving meta to Ana (I can't snipe for shit). I feel that Ana at her theoretical worst is like Widow at her worst. A healer that can dish out the best healing at range? It feels icky. And Dva nerf? I swore they gave her much needed buffs around the time of Ana... god damn meta. I agree Crow, we need a PVE mode so I can still enjoy my purchase.
  4. Imagine that they axe the Department of the Interior and all related nature-y agencies for being hippie liberal terrorists (I'm Alt-Right Mal and I says KILL THEM ALL) that uses facts about the world to enlighten fellow Americans about the Lovecraftian horror that is climate change from scientific insight. FRENZIED. I'm sober and sane. I think? It's just odd to see science-y folks (even those I know) being a bit riled up.
  5. I've been saying that everyday since Friday.
  6. SWAT 4 illustrates the totally true fact on why police usually go in guns blazing. A pepper ball in the face won't compel an armed suspect to drop their gun but maybe a bullet to the gut will. Shooting to disable is a thing! And if I'm fighting against literal terrorists, I think I can shoot first.
  7. And freeze all grants and hiring for the EPA. That's going to screw with any upcoming and perhaps ongoing EPA-related work. The hiring freeze also seems to extend to other federal agencies like the IRS of all things (hard to confirm a mobile screenshot of an email stating such). Neat. This and all the other things this administration has done in 4-5 days is neat.
  8. Good citizen, you are being zip-tied for your own good while we pepper spray and bean bag all armed suspects. You may or may not get shot in the cross fire. Thank you for your cooperation and have a good evening.
  9. Give it enough time you'll be like this: Except Nemesis, William and Mr. X scared the shit out of little me. Luckily, we're adults and we can laugh at zombies and the like (Thanks RE4-6).
  10. TIL more about M.2 and related SSDs.

      Interesting stuff. M.2 can just cruise.

      The PCIe version blows away traditional and M.2 SATA III SSD. I can't believe the jump in speed ... And my mobo supports it.

  11. Considering the events in the last twelve months, really the last few, let's see if we get out of the UN before the midterm elections.
  12. I'm not entirely sure if it is true but there might be more marchers/protesters today at the National Mall than there were people at Trump's inauguration yesterday. Then there are the other related marches/protests around the country and really, the world. I know Los Angeles is around 750k people. Heh.
  13. Flip Flappers This is pretty hard to talk about without spoiling stuff so I'll go over it generally. Flip Flapper is neat anime that caught my eye like Rolling Girls did with its great visual design while managing to remain good (I really did wanted Rolling Girls to be good). Like what is currently out there is airing quality and it blows the socks off most other anime in their DVD/BD form and it really didn't give way until the final few episodes (of 13). The characters and setting are pretty imaginative while remaining mostly consistent. Though, going hand-to-hand with declining visual quality, it get rushed towards the second half with what I believe to be half explored side-characters. The whole story is kind of confusing at times as well but within its whole overarching theme with the two main characters, it makes sense. This also got a good bit of ecchi fan service in the modern sense and in the Sailor Moon sense. I'm not a fan (I'm getting too old for this shit) but the whole package makes it worth it. If you are interested, the OP and ED really gives a good impression of what you'll find (there are more comparisons but they're spoilers). Do it for the ED (yes, Hansel and Gretel) and witness the wild ride through Pure Illusion! Edit: Holy crap, it does calls out a bunch of stuff...
  14. I believe it to be true that the devs at The Pokemon Company/Nintendo screw around in HD, ultra crisp Pokemon on their free time. Everyone else got to wallow in emulators to get as close as perfect visuals and performance as possible.
  15. Don't forget about Joe Biden, Obama's other half (in the White House). I am too young to know how well Clinton and Gore got along but I do remember Bush and Cheney. Biden and Obama's relationship kind of changed how I view the VP. Now with Trump and Pence, it's more of a Bush and Cheney kind of thing. But worse.
  16. With improved power efficiency, my computer is sorely lacking in doubling as a space heater.

      An excuse to get a second 1080GTX.

      I had the same problem after I upgraded my computer, now my room is so cold.

  17. She got the bright idea of spraying water on carpet to keep the dust down. It does but now the dust get caked on inside the tube and everything in addition to any moisture getting to the motor. With the last upright vacuum, I made it a point to clean and take it apart in front of her (funny how things never come back together as they use to...). I don't think she did it again but with how the current Dyson vacuum is handling, I'm not too sure. It might be a battery issue though. We do have a wet/dry shop vacuum but it's far from ideal to dealing with household cleaning.
  18. I moved back home and while the place is small but it means that it is literally more efficient for me to use a dustpan with a stiff brush than to use the handheld Dyson vacuum that cuts out every ten seconds then you have to fiddle with the trigger to get it going again. Fuck that. My roommates' has this vacuum that I quite liked. It can handle a cat so it can handle people just fine. I just have to tell my grandma to NOT USE WATER to keep the dust down. That kills vacuums. One thing that I like about this is that you can just have the canister and motor so it'll be like a canister vacuum instead of a upright so it's good for tight spaces like my parents' place. Now I'm wondering if I can oil the motor when that times comes but for $140, whatever if it lasts a few years...
  19. There's also this: I highly recommend the Umbara arc. It's a good idea to build up a relationship with the Clonestroopers first but it should be able to stand on its own. And now that I look at it, add in Cad Bane to the Han Solo movie along with Hondo Ohnaka. Season 2 finale of Rebels addressed this sore point quite nicely. It was a nice send off for the idea.
  20. I'm surprised that you guys are, years later, putting even this minuscule amount of effort into this thread. Guess he really lived up to his name.
  21. Oh hey, Splatoon 2! As for the motion games, I'm approaching it like I did with the Wii. And what the hell, GTA Mario? Really looking at it, the Switch will really struggle until it's lineup is more robust. But that lag time might kill it. Hard to say. I want one though...
