I take an alternative to caffeine called ADHD whenever I need extra energy. Very addictive though, as I have taken it for almost 12,000 straight days.
 
I'll be honest. That Rare thread rubs me the wrong way. On the internet, people love to talk about Rare in such a hyperbolic manner.

According to the internet, either they were Nintendo's version of Pixar, or they were a horrible developer who made bad games.

Here's the thing: Rare made critically acclaimed games during an era when companies were STILL LEARNING how to make 3D games! Most companies didn't even know how to make a good 3D game during the PS1/N64 games!

Is that not worthy of some admiration or respect? Just making a 3D game in the mid-1990s was not an easy task for ANY studio.

And just an observation: I noticed that people who really love Japanese-developed games (e.g. Square Enix), are the ones who seemingly have the most issues with Rare's output.

I think people take the opinions of folks who disagree with them about video games too seriously. I mean, I think Rare kind of made a lot of games that weren't great. They also made some of my favorites. I can respect them and still think that a lot of the games they made were kind of awful.

Same. Before I had a disposable income, I finished almost every game I bought. As the years went by, the games just kept stacking up more and more and now I have a 200+ backlog of games. Ironic that it started with the Wii U of all things.

Hurrah consumerism. I have fell into the depths of even more brick hell, having managed to get my hands on one of the Sonic Lego sets at a cheaper price. I can now vaguely recreate a potential scene from Smash.

Why are Lego Mario's eyes black? He looks demonic......
 
You know what would be fun if what if's are back in Sparking Zero? What if Tien wasn't available for the TOP but Buu was! And we still end up with Frieza on the team so we get Buu Vs Golden Frieza for whatever reason XD

Working on this kit today, the separation is wild

No stickers!

My friends and I used to go to Starbucks a bunch in high school as a hangout place and I remember one night where we all got the same mocha, and the two of them were so amped that they literally went out into the parking lot and sparred taekwon do and I sat in one of the patio chairs and fell asleep.

fuck my FACTION bullshit, coffee v. tea v. neither is back on!!

I'm arguably even higher on team Tea than I was when I made my vote. I liked it well enough but used to just make it for my partner when they weren't feeling well. I finally tried my concoction (green tea, lemon, and a nice spoonful of honey) and lemme tell ya, after having tea with not enough honey, I'm never going back and I genuinely like the stuff. I gotta go pick up more tea...

all of impossibility with none of the energy! mediocre!

Oh goodness. Hope you rest up, to say the least...
 
okay I'm going to go ahead and officially drop out of doing ST30

I wanted it because the number appealed to me and because I was born in March, but A) I don't want to try to follow up this thread and B) the Switch 2 rumors are bumming me out and I don't want to be be a downer as general thread OP if I hate the thing as much as it sounds like I will

I'd like to request that someone who hasn't done one yet take my place though. I hope you're all able to honor that but I know there aren't too many interested parties left

Bingle is just gonna end up nibbling on the BOOKS


It's been an exhilarating ride so far! As I expected, ABYSS reigns on top, so...

I PLAY DRAW 4 AGAINST ABYSS
Click to expand...
ABYSS draws four cards!

Wow, what a draw. We've got:
  • Wild
  • Phone
  • Red F
  • Pocketchumouseman
Here's what they do!

CARD: Wild
If there's a STRIKE on the ABYSS, PLAY this card to change which FACTION is hit!

CARD: Phone
PLAY this card to force someone to post fake selfies for their next three posts, unable to STRIKE or GAMBIT!

CARD: Red F
Hmm. It's an F. This is weirder without UNO rules. Let's say you can PLAY it – as a REPLY to a GAMBIT – to make someone automatically FAIL (if I haven't replied to it yet)

CARD: Pocketchumouseman
PLAY this for an instant -40 DIGNITY to the house of your choice.

ANYONE from ABYSS can play these cards!

If you play a card that was already played, though... you suffer -20 DIGNITY.


Hmm... looks like we had a printing error on the Pocketchumouseman.

And we certainly didn't order any holographics... what the fuck??

If anyone can figure out what that's about, let me know.


All cards from UNO BUT WORSE (2018) by @Suswave. These cards are so not licensed. They're practically illegal. You could CALL the authorities on the ABYSS for having them, but I will literally think less of you.

Pocketchumouseman simultaneously remastered and fucked up badly. Phone card updated from notch to nub.
