If we're recommending Matt McMuscles, we should also recommend another SuperBestFriendsPlay alumni: WoolieVs. He carries on the spirit of the old channel the best by doing rotating Let's Plays, hosts the Castle Superbeast podcast (formerly the Super Best Friendscast), and the occasional weapons-grade shitpost.

The Basics series has basically become "recipes not from some piece of media I want to do" and hasn't been basic cooking advice for a while. Plus Babish in general has fallen into the Food TV trap of "everything has to be made meticulously from scratch or it's not Real Cooking".

lol yeah did we forget that like a month ago Shuan tweeted about how people only liked Vtubers because they had mysogynistic and racist ideas about Asian women, and didn't clarify he was only talking about alt-right Vtube fans? Then when called out on it went all "Trap Sprung :smug:"?

Yeah that is BS,even the most over the top actually not "putting my money on fire" PC maxes out at like 15K. If you want a max workstation it's like 50K. And having 4 of those just means you hate money.

The highest I've ever seen is $20k and that's from this fridge sized semi-professional rendering PC. Even then the guy included $1000 of high end audio equipment, and a $2000 laptop as part of the build to inflate the cost.

The entire movie is about exactly this. Borat has become too famous to do his schtick, so he's in several disguises through out the movie. Sacha Baron Cohen is disguised as Borat who is disguised as other people.

40k in its various flavours always had a problem with this too. The lore, and books, were full of cool mutants, demons, and weird monster men and you're like "Wow cool I can't wait to be a psyker!" and then three sessions in you kill your whole team by accident and the DM's just like "Yeah I guess you're a crazy monster now, everyone gets to roll up new sheets."

Deathwatch was pretty good at making you feel like the Space Marines in the illustrations, including having in-built protections for Psykers so there far less chance for your head to be suddenly replaced with a Daemon Prince.

Downside was that it was really easy to become wildly overpowered, and really hard to balance on the GM side of things.

You've got one Fire Emblem to put as your favorite and you pick Fire Emblem Awakening. :doh:

If you picked FE4/5 I'd understand it because you're old school. If you picked 7 I'd understand it because it was the first one released in the west. If you picked 9 or even 10 I'd get it because PoR slaps and RD while flawed has tons of interesting ideas going for it. If you picked Three Houses I'd get it. I'd even take Fates over it, because at least Conquest was funny.

loving Awakening though? :lol::lol::lol:

Awakening is a good game, pretty well-liked by the FE fanbase, and a lot of people got introduced to the series over it. Sorry if that rankles your Correct Fire Emblem Opinions.

I loved how in Platinum some wild Pokemon only came out depending on what time of day it was IRL. I remember trying to catch one Pokemon who only came out after my bedtime and hiding under my sheets playing my DS hoping my mom wouldn't catch me :allears:

Day/Night cycles were added in Gen 2, but then taken out in Gen 3 for some reason.

It made me so disappointed as a kid, that and Gen 3 not allowing you transfer your old Pokemon made me hate Ruby and Sapphire a lot before FR/LG and the Gamecube games mitigated much of that.

Avengers 1 was setting up "I wanna gently caress Death" Thanos too, so it was veto'd by management probably sometime around GotG if I had to guess.

They also never bothered to set up Death as specific personification of a concept either. So it would still be confusing if Thanos was horny for the idea of the cessation of life.

I always play on Normal because I have no idea what the baseline difficulty of a game is or what Easy or Hard modes actually mean. Hard modes vary wildly between "actually the real Normal to super bullshit" and Easy modes can vary from "mindlessly boring to fun and what Normal mode should be". At least by picking Normal I can assume this was the intended difficulty.

Also, dynamic difficulty should be in more games. I don't want to restart my game if I find out any of the above.

This is why I try to steer people towards resources for building your own PC, even if they're not technically inclined. Pre-builts are more expensive, and with bigger OEMs you have to deal with weird proprietary bullshit, cost-cutting, and awful customer service. It's often easier to bite the bullet and put it together yourself.

Newegg and another site or two have started doing like raffles to be allowed to buy next stock of new GPUs at least, so there's at least attempts being made to stop the bots and scalpers some.

It's not perfect, but an effort's being made to stop people instantly buying twenty at a time the milisecond stock comes in to farm funni munni.

No, it still sucks because you have to enter a raffle for the privilege of spending your own money to buy computer parts. Even worse, Newegg is force bundling extra parts along with those GPUs, including no-name low quality power supplies that might cause an electrical fire.

The latter sucks, but this is just kind of how it has to be right now to stop again, the multitude of bots and poo poo that people have set on every single restock of new GPUs, at least that gives people a chance to get in on buying one, as opposed to literally no chance for anyone not running a bot themself or getting that one in a million refresh and mashing through to buy one before another saudi prince or something buys the whole stock second 1 to have further infinite wealth again.

No it isn't how it has to be right now. There are other anti-bot measures Newegg can take without this weird raffle bullshit, but they won't do it because it's really just a ploy to make people spend more money and off-load low quality-to-actually-dangerous parts that would have never sold otherwise.

With Cinema Sins especially there’s an air of “This movie is bad and here’s why”, so people will often latch onto that reasoning despite half the time it’s either an incorrect thing or something a character does that isn’t the most logical or perfect choice to deal with the situation, even if there’s no way the character has information the audience does.

And if you call this out, fans and CS themselves immediately retreat to "it's just a JOKE guys, not a serious review".
