I was friends with a hispanic youth in my younger years, and somehow he learned to play the NES with the controller upside down (evidently due to his cultural/linguistic difference). What the gently caress, thought eight-year-old-me. What the gently caress indeed. When I made him use it the regular way he would get too excited, laugh, and pee his pants. Ahhh, friendship. e: Mario would just go straight into the first pit in SMB3, World-1 Stage-1. Totally useless unless the controller cord was pointing toward his body.

matrix ripoff posted:civ games are good if you're a kid and all you have is a computer, but it's not really YOUR computer it's the family's computer, and your dad BEGRUDGINGLY bought a game for it, but he bought what he thought was the most boring, uninteresting game he could find for it, and it's all you have to entertain yourself during the summer when you can't get a ride to the library or the pool, so you knuckle down and try to learn this poo poo, which looks nothing like Doom or Duke 3D which is what all your friends are playing, but you start to get good at it, you start learning it, and then you fast forward 15 years later and now its Civilization 72 or whatever and you try to play it and right off the bat you realize it's dogshit and go back to shooting space orcs or whatever in Halo 23 extremely incorrect.

Ciaphas posted:tell me how to be not utter poo poo at strategy games like civ so I can play beyond earth when it comes out without going mad with frustration civ 5 is all about food- food = people = science and science is what wins you the game. farm everything (flatlands and hills next to rivers), send trade routes to the capital with food, pick tradition, and grab anything else that contributes to growth. build settlers where possible early on, no more than 4 cities, preferably at least 3. build the national college in the capital asap. dont grab wonders unless youre sure you can get them. watch happiness carefully, never go negative if you can help it. build up a decent military- at least enough not to get attacked by your neighbors. see if you can find a diplomatic pariah somewhere (usually genghis) and denounce him to make everyone else like you (assuming you're not next on his list). if someones building up for an attack on you, either bribe him to attack someone else or bribe someone to attack him. ranged units are the best- armies are generally a handful of screening infantry, a cavalry/paratrooper or two, and then shitloads of archers or artillery. airplanes also rule easy civs: poland is the best generalist, korea and babylon rule for science. social policies should be tradition-rationalism-freedom with either patronage or commerce filling out the blind spots. freedoms half food from specialists rules, make sure any buildings with specialists are staffed also beyond earth may or may not change all of this.

Yes but if you are an adult and you aren't good at video games, you misused your childhood which is the only time in your life where you can get away with being bad at video games. You either practice and get good in your childhood or accept your fate as an eternal failure.

Much like the sinner whom was not exposed to the light of the Lord and so had no chance to redeem themselves in His eyes in life may still be Judged favorably, there is no strict time limit on becoming a gamer without deserving scorn and death... IMO.

My brother throws the controller on the floor when he gets angry at losing. I bought that controller and those things are fragile. Please advise.

Practice makes perfect. The secret to being a pro gamer is just to devote countless hours of your life to gaming instead of something more productive, and having the wisdom to realize that being productive is hella gay anyway.

I'm really bad at TF2 and shmups. I suck at landing headshots and can't keep track of where my spaceship, the enemies, and the bullets are at the same time. I'm pretty good at metal slug and god hand though so I don't even know what the gently caress.

i can get through the fight with misery and the doctor and then the mutant doctor okay, but the next bit where you have to fight the core and misery and the bunny girl simultaneously is what's wrecking me. i know there's still the secret boss after this too

Take out Misery and the girl as quickly as possible using stuff like the fully charged Spur, Nemesis, Sword, or Rocket Launcher. Then it's a matter of using the platforms on the left of the stage to dodge all the poo poo being thrown at you. Otherwise sleep on it, try again, and if you still can't do it watch some videos of people doing it.

Halloween Jack posted:My brother throws the controller on the floor when he gets angry at losing. I bought that controller and those things are fragile. Please advise. I dropped a 360 controller out a fourth-story window onto gravel (don't ask) and have also thrown it many times in the past. During the one-year period where my bed was just a mattress on the floor I frequently set my controller on the floor and forgot it (usually before I passed out from exhaustion) and thus I accidentally stepped on my 360 and PS2 controllers numerous times. Aside from a cracked battery case on the former which happened recently, ironically from a much more minor fall, neither controller has any damage besides scratches. "Fragile"
