This game is soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo GOOD! That's all, getting back to it.

Nintendo already built up hype for the NES Classic months in advance at conventions and online. I think this is truly because Nintendo wanted to see the demand for it and then have the proper stock out for December this Christmas. Whatever the case, this is backfiring on Nintendo because people are pissed they can't get their hands on something as simple as this little device. If you take a gander at the Amazon page, the NES Classic has almost 3,000 ratings with 89% of them being 1 Star. It has only been a day, but already people are as upset and are having flashbacks to when the first Amiibo debuted. It's another scalper's paradise right here.

There's this YouTube channel that has music box versions of the DiU OPs.

The NES Classic, much like the GCN adapter for Smash Wii U, is a scarce Nintendo product this holiday season. On one hand, you could say Nintendo is wanting to make sure they're not in over their head by sending out too many units. On the other hand, you'd think they would realize this is a gold mine. I'm doing some part time work and I had people calling us for the NES Classic. I didn't think we would have it as we only have those Genesis and Atari flashback consoles, but the store manager said we should be carrying it. He just doesn't know when we'll actually get the units... and how many.

There's a reason for it.

I just learned of Nevada's "None of these candidates" option, which seems really useless as even if it were to win, the actual candidate with the highest percentage wins. I wonder how different voting in Nevada is...

I really like Google's stat tracking, and it's showing me how sad this whole affair is. Even with all the advertisements we get about voting, I'm seeing a trend here of not many people going out to the polls. It could be the case that since people don't like either presidential candidate they just don't want to vote. That's unbelievably stupid as you're voting for so much more on the damn ballot. Hell, you don't have to vote on everything on the ballot and that includes the President. Is it ass-backwards? Yeah, but technically you can. Just don't bitch when your state governor is doing something you don't agree with because you missed the boat.

Well I've probably got my fill of Sombra tonight. I keep coming across teams that are playing Arcade 6v6 like it's Quickplay or even Competitive. Like, c'mon, the only reason most of us are in PTR is to play Sombra and learn more about her. It's sad that they've got to use PTR to stroke their ego against another team that wants to have fun, but would like the match to last more than 2 minutes. Anyway, good guide on what Sombra can hack:

Better make plans soon. We might get a wall on that border too.

She does seem rather powerful. I watched part of the Stylosa footage and got to the part where he hacked two health packages and was surprised he could do that with Sombra. One thing to consider is Quick Play will have a One Hero Limit in the future, so there shouldn't be any concern of a two-man Sombra squad screwing over the other team hard.

I'd have to look into that because I think since they buffed Mercy's Ult to be instant, there wouldn't be an opportunity to shut it down. I actually wonder what would happen if you nerfed D.Va's Ult. Like, I imagine D.Va would be in pilot form, but does the mech just... fall apart?

If Overwatch didn't exist, I would be all up on this game. Loved the first game, just I already have an online multi-player FPS I enjoy. I hear the Campaign is good, maybe when it gets cheaper.

Yep, but luckily r/StardustCrusaders has us covered. https://www.reddit.com/r/StardustCrusaders/wiki/manga Part 3 Volume 1 just released this week, which I got and love. Only goes up to

I'm keeping up with Part 8, but I do need to read through Part 6 and 7. When I was watching Super Best Friends (formerly Two Best Friends) play All-Star Battle, I was pretty much given the basics of Part 6, and while I may know what happens in Part 7, it's so large that you've got to read through it to get the full experience. And I forgot that All-Star Battle includes the protag of Part 8, so yeah, all the way up to Part 8 for that one too. I forgot how slow Part 8 comes out on it's monthly schedule.

For All-Star Battle, Part 7 For Eyes of Heaven, technically Part 8, but that Part is still ongoing and you're only introduced to two characters. Still, all I can really say is that Part 7 and Part 8 are "special" in Jojo. So point being, if you don't want to know anything about Part 5 - 8, you really can't play any of the games. I mean, just looking at the roster of characters would give you a big Part 5 spoiler and Part 6 would be confusing without context. EDIT: Actually, since you having finished Part 4 yet, looking at the roster would give you one hell of a big and confusing spoiler.

As a heads up, FLD, don't look that one up. That Stand is an important one much later on in a Part that we're probably not going to get to until, like, the Year 2021. Well, unless you want to read the manga. I do believe it's referred to as D4C now, which I quite like as an alternative.

I believe whoever does the subtitling (and in the case of the games publishes) decides on a replacement name. I don't think he has any input on what's decided as his original work and the Japanese publications and games remain untouched. It's just when it goes outside of Japan that this censorship occurs.

Going forward Users and Stands will be references to musicians/bands and songs. Most of the time there will be a different name in the subtitles, but ever now and then they can get away with the real name. Fans are use to this, especially if you played Eyes of Heaven. Sometimes the subtitled name will be hilarious, like a Stand in Part 6 is called Limp Bizkit, but is called Flaccid Pancake in the game.

Agreed on most points. Well, I am too, but given that you've already seen Episode 2 of Diamond is Unbreakable, expect the worse for them.

Honestly,

I've gone back to school after working for almost 3 years and hating where life was taking me. Things are difficult for me emotionally, but I've gone back to get a technical degree around IT and Networking. It's not glamorous and I'm not going to shine like the typical stereotype of a Millennial superstar, but it's going to help live life to a healthy degree. I want to emphasize that last sentence. The general idea around going into work in a trade or something like "general management" at a franchise or retail setting is looked down upon because there's an air of "third-rate" to it. During one's K-12 education, there will be stereotypes and impressions that fall upon you that those electricians and plumbers are doing that work because they didn't excel in their education. The kids who didn't take schooling seriously or the dimwits, those will be the kids to fill those positions! But then you become an adult and realize that human beings are the those who are filling those positions. With the turnout of all these higher education students not getting into their anticipated position, looking into a trade to them brings about a mindset of, "Shit, I failed!" I know that's what I went through and having gone through an emotional roller coaster for the last 1.5 years, I just pray and hope that in the end I can just doing well for myself in this job market. I don't enter this thread much because I don't have a solid political affiliation. If you dug deep into this thread, you'd find our posts where we did that political compass that determines how liberal, conservative, libertarian, and authoritarian one is. I ended up nearly in the middle, and no it wasn't on purpose. My social media grouping of friends and associates make up both right-wing and left-wing. I like to see both sides to politics, but this election year has made me extremely pessimistic. Based on what I see from people talking, both around me and online, I get the impression that many voters don't truly like the candidate they're voting for. Like Ethan mentioned, I've seen some Trump supporters only back him because they like Pence and assume he'll probably be president instead. I've also seen that in the Hillary camp for those who never stood by her in the first place and believe Kaine to be a safe and sustainable choice. This was my worse case scenario, which I stated months ago. I don't like any of the candidates, and that includes third party. Gary Johnson had more of a push given the circumstances of this election and my generation was looking into him. Thing is, if you do look into him, you'll find he's not some messiah of political imbalance, but another politician that has his share of crazy quirks and frightening lack of political knowledge to be considered the next president. Not like that all matters as my state is a Red State so even if I cared for anyone outside of Trump, all the electoral votes will go to him no doubt.
