  1. Not a bad start by Jimmy today all things considered. Showed some good poise after throwing that early pick-6.

    Hopefully he keeps moving forwards.

  3. I was actually pleasantly surprised at how soon Mario Odyssey dropped down to $47. I think it happened the Spring after the Holiday season when it released, so less than 6 months?

    Then again, I never did see BotW on sale...


  4. Just waiting to see if Jimmy G will improve under Shanahan. Losing basically an entire year just when starting with a new franchise is going to hinder his development; I only wonder how much. It was good that he got to face his demons by revisiting that spot he blew out his knee at Arrowhead in preseason at least.

     

    It will also be interesting to see if the defense steps it up this year. We have too much draft stock invested in our front D line to keep being mediocre.

    I’m starting to get hyped for the Links Awakening remake. Seems this style would be great for a new Earhbound/Mother too. Just saying Nintendo...

    Yeah, we're definitely due an Earthbound HD Remake.


  6. Yeah it's probably running a different ROM for each console since they're technically not backwards compatible on the same exact system even though the Switch has the hardware horsepower to handle them.

    Kinda like how your android phone still needs different emulator apps to run GBA games and N64 games.

     

    I'm actually super stoked AF for this. :jumboshiny:

     

    This means I can finally ditch the Virtual Console on the 3DS and the emulated games on my android tablet that I couldn't play any other way like the OG Star Fox (Nintendo couldn't legally re-release it until now due to strange copyright shenanigans).
     

    • Zelda ALttP
    • Super Metroid
    • Star Fox
    • Super Mario World
    • Mario Kart
    • F-Zero

    Plus I'm gonna get even more mileage out of my 8BitDo SN30 Pro bluetooth gamepad now. I've already been using it for nearly a year as a Switch Pro Controller, Android controller for emulators, and as a PC controller for Steam games (used it when I recently played Dishonored 2), but it was literally made for these SNES games. :D


  7. Astral Chain

    Nintendo Page

     

    New Nintendo IP from Platinum Games, the makers of Nier: Automata and Bayonetta. Looks like an anime "near-future" type sci-fi theme.

    Ghost in the Shell meets Evangelion meets Persona meets Xenoblade or something.

     

    E3 Trailer:

     

    Premise and gameplay looks cool, but also looks like gets pretty heavy on the shonen anime angle.

    Pretty good initial reviews. 87 on Metacritic.

  8. NES at my first neighbor friend's house. Kindergarten maybe? Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros.

    Duck Hunt also but the parents wouldn't let me use the light gun since I was only like 5 and I was always trying to take things apart. (friends were a few years older)

     

    We didn't have enough money for our own system until 1993 or so and got a Sega Genesis first, with Sonic. We tried it for a bit, didn't like it, took it back and got an SNES with Super Mario All-Stars. Came with Super Mario 2 and Super Mario 3 that I played a ton of. Only other game we actually owned was Super Mario World. Played a bunch of other games that I just borrowed from my friends like F-Zero, Star Fox, Mario Kart, Mortal Kombat, Zelda: A Link to the Past, and Super Metroid.

    Got a job at KFC as soon as I could. Officially got hired at 15 and did "training" for a few weeks until I was 16 and could actually be seen there by customers. Tons of my high school friends also worked there along with some neighbor kids since it was just a 10 min walk from my house. Whenever I wanted I could just take a ton of chicken home with me. My family was so sick of that place. :rotfl:

    There was also a Pizza Hut a block away where half of us could also unofficially work at since they're owned by the same company and run by the same GM. There were times we'd take a big bucket of chicken over there and trade them for a few large pizzas. I could also just randomly walk inside in my street clothes, walk behind the counter, make my own pizza and walk out. No one GAF, it was hilarious.

    At the time I thought I was making a ton of money. Making enough to buy an xbox every few weeks was amazing, but I soon realized it was barely over min wage.

    Worked there until just after my 18th birthday. Saved nearly every penny I made, bought a car, and then quit.

    My neighbor's dad got me a job at the warehouse in Phoenix where he worked. Stored and shipped everything related to HVAC imaginable, from every conceivable tiny screw and spacer, to huge entire corporate condensers larger than an SUV. Was easy and chill, and I made about double what I did at KFC. The entire main goal was to unload/load the semi's and UPS trucks that came, the first wave of which arrived at 7am. Then we'd do the whole thing all over again for the next wave that came around noon. It was actually pretty amazing how efficient and well organize that place was. While the forklifts and more senior workers were unloading all the pallets and stuff, the rest of us would grab everything, organize it, label it and then go store them away in their specific places. We had to keep pace with how fast they were unloading stuff also, because once we were done we then had to go find, package and ready the afternoon's load because all that crap was going out by 4pm sharp. We worked non-stop after the first wave arrived, but once we were done we had a lunch and then usually another hour of downtime once we got everything on deck before the noon trucks arrived. Then if we got those loaded before 4pm, we had even more downtime until EOD. Most days I only worked 3 or 4 hours in any 8 hour day.

    After not too long I trained to drive the forklift and was doing that for awhile which was awesome. This was also when I made it my mission to learn to back in cars because I realized that steering "in the back" gives you optimal precision control for things like parking in tight spaces, etc. Eventually I got to work up in the main office with my neighbor's dad, doing stuff like helping with the inventory and scheduling, as well as the design and optimal layout for the warehouse item locations. That was a decent raise, but also booooring AF.

     

    Wanted even more money to spend on my car, and save up to move out, so I got a part time job at a clothing department store. Nights and weekends, though I really only worked like one day a week, usually just for 4 hours. After the warehouse, this was the job I had while going HAM full time in college.

    The other advantage of low, flexible hours was that I not only got like 30% off everything in the store with my employee discount, I also knew the exact dates of all the sales, which sales could stack with other sales, and how to also get gift card discounts on top of that. Usually ended up getting 80% off on everything I bought there on average. You didn't have to work any min number of hours to qualify for these benefits. This was also the most chill job I've ever had. Most of the time it's dead in there, unlike most other retail stores. There is no long array of registers and cashiers, just one kiosk in each dept with one person manning each dept. I worked in Men's and Shoes, just wandering around straightening shoe boxes or refolding jeans. Had maybe two customers an hour actually buy stuff, but when they did they were huge $500 sales. Kept this job for like 3 years I think. I still have quite a bit of apparel from there.

    Spoiler

    Got a callback on my birthday from the manager of the local Nissan dealership who offered me a job. I had a friend there in Parts, one in Service and another who was Lot Attendant like I applied for. My job was simple: have access to the keys and alarm code of every single car on the lot, and keep the lot looking nice and organized. This meant driving new arrivals off the delivery trucks to the back lot, and replacing sold cars on the show lot or showroom. Basically any time they needed a car moved for any reason, they radio'd us. This also included the Used Car lot, which meant during the whole time I was there, I got to drive everything from a Mustang Cobra, to a huge lifted Dodge Ram turbodiesel. BMWs, large vehicles like Excursions and Avalanches, and all the Nissan 350Z's I wanted. Other than the pay, this was my dream job. :P

    The best part was when we had to "trade" cars with other dealerships. Customers are picky and would want a certain model, in a certain trim, only in a certain color. Often that exact car wasn't on our lot, but another Nissan dealer had it and were willing to trade it to use for another car of the same MSRP. Then it was our job to drive the cars and swap them. This happened usually once a day, and I got to drive some awesome, expensive new cars even as far as SoCal one day. (10 hours, round drip, OT paid in full).

    Honestly, I'd be lying if I said we didn't do a bunch a dumb shit like take joyrides in new used cars before they'd been marked for sale, do donuts in the back lot with sports cars, whatever we wanted. We also had this game where we'd point a car with an automatic transmission at the big refueling gas tank in the back lot from the opposite end of the lot, put it in drive, release the brake and then get out and watch it roll towards the tank. Then we'd play chicken seeing who would wait there the longest before dashing off to catch it, open the driver door and hit he brakes just before it crashed into a 50,000 gallon tank of gas. How am I still alive? :rotfl:

     

    Finally moved out and got a higher paying job at Move.com, specifically Realtor.com's website support. I made enough money to afford rent after splitting it with a roommate, but I worked super early and it was a good hour long drive each way. It was also super busy every second of the day, so much so that I pretty much never knew any of my coworkers, even after being there over a year. We worked with all the "my time is worth more than your life" Realtors and their pathetic attempts to establish an online presence. My dept was listing support, everything from the details on the MLS listing like HOA fee amounts to the year built, etc. Moved up to photos and virtual tours dept after a bit, and later turned down an offer to join the "retention" team, which were just the poor souls whose job it was to listen to people yell and bitch because we won't let them cancel their contracts with us. Lol, nope.

    This was also when I first started my 401K and retirement stuff.

     

    A friend knew I hated it here and helped get me a job at a Bank/Payment Company much closer to home.

     

     

    -college ends-

    Spoiler

    Started at Bank/Payment Company in Feb of this year. Yes this was the same place Web still works at, but I don't even think I crossed paths with him until over a year later. We were in different departments that didn't really ever interact. I had quite a few different positions there like Web did.

    First level helpdesk was exactly like Web described. My version of it was quite a bit more expansive though. We had the opportunities to train for more advanced products to support, and got decent raises each time we became proficient on each one. This was actually how I met Web; he was hired a bit before me and was already 2nd level support. I was trying to self-train on one of the products and I saw one of them on his desk. He was just playing Gameboy or something at the time so I didn't think I was interrupting when I asked to play with it and pick his brain on how it worked, etc.

    Eventually I had exhausted all the raises I could obtain in my dept and so I asked to transition over to the other dept so I could learn even more stuff. This was in like, 2009? Cool thing was that I kept all my raises that his dept didn't get, so I made more than everyone else there. Got to the point that my boss said they couldn't give me another annual raise because then I'd be making more than the Team Leads. :lol:

    Eventually I got into the 2nd level support in that dept also, did that for over a year until I... basically had a falling out with the managers that were actually in a different country for giving me shit and grief over FMLA and stuff. Started to affect life outside of work, and since they wouldn't work with me, I bounced in 2014. Was there for over 7 years.

    (Frustratingly, The Gathering was only a few months before I quit. I keep wishing I'd quit just a bit earlier so I could have had more time with the Centerians that came here)

    Didn't work for a few months, dealing with the personal stuff, but then I took a corporate sales job a while later. I had a salary of over $100K/yr, but was working almost 60 hours a week and doing just lots of morally questionable stuff, so Wifeshift and I just decided it wasn't worth selling my soul. I think I was only there for 6 months; shortest tenured job ever.

     

    Immediately afterwards, both Wifeshift and I started working for a very small SEO and web hosting company focusing on residential and commercial real estate rental property managers. This was mostly Wifeshift's gig; her first official job since finishing her training to be a web developer, effectively switching careers from CPA accounting. She made like no money, but couldn't have asked for better experience. I was a project manager for the IT/SEO departments and made more than enough to make up for her pay cut. The problem here was that the owner of this company was a moron and drove it into the ground. Company only had like 30 employees and wasn't growing much because the owner hated sales people and wouldn't hire enough of them, but also wanted everyone at the company to make roughly the same amount, regardless of their position or rank. This resulted in the two main executives leaving after their pay was severely cut in order to give their subordinates raises and hire on more people. The execs that he hired at low salaries after that had no clue how two run anything and the company started hemorrhaging clients and profits. Owner basically got what he paid for. We jumped ship after it was apparent nothing was going to improve and the company went under a while later.

    At this point I was working on some more IT certifications to bolster my experience, and took a few temp jobs to expand my scope of work experience on my resume. Notable jobs here were Dish Network, doing support for the satellite networks. First position there was just general support where some old person would call the wrong number and complain to us about our service being out because their TV was on a blue screen that said "No HDMI 1 Signal" utterly convinced it meant "no satellite signal". :suicide:  But after about 3 months I moved to technical support, which is the dept the onsite techs call when they can't get an install or repair working. I actually love working with other professionals who know what the fuck they're doing, and working to tackle actual issues.

    Left Dish to work at Verizon, which was a 100% work-from-home gig that came a with a big pay bump also. At the same time I was considering taking a job at Apple instead, same thing where it'd be 100% work-from-home, only I knew more people at Verizon that were local and the pay was better.

    I was at Verizon for nearly 2 years I think. I would literally set my alarm for 10 min before my shift started, walk like a zombie into the home office and jump on the morning team meeting while my coffee was brewing in the kitchen. Seemed like the greatest thing in the world until I got off work on a Saturday and realized I hadn't actually left the house since this time the Saturday before. An entire week. :sick: The isolation was suffocating. Sure Verizon would take us all out to events like Diamondback games or Dave & Buster's, but that was once every 6 months, and only if our team performed in the top 10th percentile or something. I realized that although I'm technically an introvert, I can't just be socially isolated for days or weeks at a time. I really missed going into an office, seeing and talking to actual co workers rather than just over chat or webcam.

    Went looking last summer and found a job I was not fully qualified for working in VoIP networking. I knew enough to pass all the application assessments and interview questions, but after meeting everyone else in my hiring orientation group, I quickly realized I was the least experienced there by far. Pretty intimidating. It was pretty heavy on network architecture, provisioning, configuration and custom coding. Job was also a "temp to hire" position with no set end date, but limited benefits while we were temp. Pay was amazing, most I'd ever made, save for that soulless corp sales job, lol. After about 9 months, my hiring group was down to about half the people due to people just quitting, and I was the #4 out of 11 people left. Thing was, little birdies I knew there said the company could only afford to hire 3 techs on permanently this year and the rest would have to wait until next year "and then they'd see". Last red flag was when everyone in the hiring group from 6 months after us were all got let go randomly. Put feelers out again and found an even more in-depth IT networking/security job, but this one was a permanent, direct hire.

     

    I started this new job in March... but unfortunately I can't talk about it here or I'd have to kill all of you. :lurk:

    HDTV Antenna: Mohu MH-ANT1000 Leaf Hdtv Antenna

    Headset: SteelSeries Siberia 840 (RF + Bluetooth + 3.5mm audio + 2x removable batteries)

     

     

    This is my only desktop and is an HTPC / Gaming PC that runs primarily in the living room with two HDTVs as dual monitors, driven by a wireless keyboard/mouse/controller setup, complete with a full-powered home stereo system via optical audio. It also has that HDTV antenna and tuner if I want to record free aired TV right to my HDDs.

    However, the tower itself resides on the other side of the wall behind the TVs; in my office behind my desk. All the cables run through an outlet-sized hole in the drywall that feed through Cable Pass Through Brush Wall Plates. The TV/stereo setup is close enough that none of the HDMI, optical or ethernet cables need to be longer than 10ft, including a USB 3.0 expansion hub so I can plug things into the PC from inside the entertainment center the TVs are on. Having the tower on the other side of the wall also makes it 100% silent in the living room when watching TV or movies.

    The 3rd monitor is on the desk in the office where the PC tower actually is. I'm not in there as often so all that's setup in there is the single monitor, keyboard and mouse. There are no speakers in there but my wireless Steelseries headphones work perfectly there since I'm technically closer to the receiver than when on the couch on the opposite side of the living room. Thinking of possibly expending that setup to have two monitors in there so I can actually get shit done, but that'll mean I actually have FOUR monitors which gets kind of strange when trying to move the mouse around without it getting lost on screens that I can't see because they're "in the other room". I'd still rather do that than buy and build a whole additional PC just for that office given how much I've invested in the main PC.

    I am really souring on this game type now.  Games as a service is like a cancer on gaming.  Everything seems broken and half assed in this category and everyone wants to put their own version out.

    You sound like me in 2015.


  12. I will grant you that the way Thor dealt with his lashing from the Russo Bros was far more realistic than anything Cap did.

     

    Even with all my gripes about Thor getting the short end of the plot stick, his arc still >>>>>>>> Cap's arc.


  13. Consistency is going out the window again here.

     

    Is Cap perfect in every possible way or not? KK's saying he's not, but that he has more life experience than a 1000+ year old Asgardian God of Thunder. Kyle's saying not only was he worthy and able to lift Mjolnir, he was also such a better person than Thor even then that he pretended to not be able to lift it just to save everyone else's feelings since he didn't want them to know just how inferior they were to him.

    What a guy.

     

    100% perfect AND 100% humble.

    He's like Marvel Jesus! ?

    I am looking at the timeline for the movie and I was right. Dark world was right before winter soldier where explicitly stated he was busy saving other worlds after the fallout of dark world, he showed again during Ultron where he was just finishing up cleaning up that mess when he finds out about ragnorak and goes out to stop that, missing everything after until ragnorak where they show him finally finishing THAT up, and we know where it goes from there. 

    Unless you have a daily calendar showing he saved 600+ worlds over those 2 years or some shit, this is pointless. He clearly stated in Ragnarok that he took time to mourn Loki's death. You really think he lied about that? Or was only sad for 20 min and pretended to be over it? Or that he's so heartless that he forgot to also mourn for his mother? He was also doing most of this alone and therefore likely had more alone time than anyone other than Hulk during that period for reflection. I mean shit, you see him sitting by himself for how knows long long in a cage at the opening of Ragnarok, specifically reflecting on past events and how he ended up where he was. He was constantly processing everything.

    Besides, that sounds an awful lot like how Black Widow dealt with her grief after Infinity War, as well as Rocket, Rhodes, Nebula and Okoye; all delving into their work and just keeping busy as much as possible.

    Rocket especially mentions in Infinity War that he still has a lot to lose after talking to Thor... and then does proceed to lose it all after the Snap. Then he laments to Thor about how he lost the only family he ever had. Did you not believe him? Did you not really buy his grief? He didn't spend 5 years in a drunken stupor and become completely useless in the Time Heist mission did he?

    Having someone spiral out as fantastically as Thor did is not required to sell that they're dealing with grief and loss.

     

    What about Tony? He went up against Thanos and lost fantastically also. Had to watch Spider-Man disintegrate in his arms, which was his fault because he told Peter to follow the wizard (and gave him that suit). But after the battle he just passes off the blame to Cap saying it's all his fault for not listening to him before, then goes off, fathers Morgan with Pepper and lives guilt-free in the woods not planning on helping what's left of the world he couldn't save?

     

    What you don't seem to realize is that this was a work of fiction. Just like with Rocket and Stark, the Russo's could have gone in any direction with Thor's arc once they were handed the end of Ragnarok and what did they do? Shit all over him. Nothing forced their hand, this was a creative choice.

     

     

    So again,

    After Ragnarok though, what else did he still need to lose? What facet of his character was still lacking to the point of him still being in need of emotional growth through pain and loss? What argument for, "He hasn't experienced hardship yet" could be made after Asgard is destroyed in their literal end of the world?

    This is what I don't get.

     

    I'm criticizing their creative choice and you're trying to argue back on the false premise that there was an objectively correct and incorrect way to depict Thor's reaction to adversity. As if it'd somehow be scientifically or psychologically inaccurate to have him react differently, even though it's been said multiple times already that everyone deals with grief differently because there's no right or wrong way to do that.


  14. Thor never dealt with loss or defeat? By what point? Before he lost his mother and brother in the same day? Before his girlfriend dumped him? Before his sister destroyed his hammer and then just effortlessly kicked his ass twice? (He never defeated Hela, BTW. He's still holding that L)

     

    What you're talking about is Ragnarok. Before Ragnarok you could probably make the argument that he'd lived a perfect enchanted life thus far, free from all notions of loss and defeat. (if you pretend his mom's and Loki's deaths had no effect on him)

     

    After Ragnarok though, what else did he still need to lose? What facet of his character was still lacking to the point of him still being in need of emotional growth through pain and loss? What argument for, "He hasn't experienced hardship yet" could be made after Asgard is destroyed in their literal end of the world?

    This is what I don't get.

    His final scene with Quill showed a bit of the old him hinting that, while not 100%, he is getting back on his feet now. 

    And this proves what exactly? That during the five years between when he first ran into the Quill and the Guardians, to after Endgame and all his "emotional growth", he's still exactly how he was then?

    He's objectively being an ass to Quill, purposefully pushing his insecurity buttons and being generally disrespectful.

    Guess Korg really is gonna have to die in Guardians 4 as Thor continues to flounder around getting his shit together. :sigh2:

    Also I read that the writers said Cap could actually move the hammer and when he realized this, decided to not pick it up out of respect.

    https://www.screengeek.net/2019/05/08/captain-america-thor-hammer/

    This is why I specifically mentioned Cap and Tony trying to rationalize why they couldn't lift the hammer at the end of Ultron.

    You read a quote from Anthony Russo who was not a writer for Whedon's Age of Ultron and had nothing to do with that Mjolnir scene.

    The only salty ass hater is you and Cap. :P  I don't know why.  Probably too much of a goody goody for you I guess.  I always liked the characters that inspired hope and tried to make the people around them better (like Superman and Cap).

    I've always hated Cap.

    I just can't be inspired by an avatar that embodies impossibly perfect standards. You could argue that Cap lost more than everyone due to being plucked out of his time... but you'd never know it based on how he just put his head down and did what Fury told him right out of the ice. How is that an example to people going through something similar and looking for inspiration?

     

    It's like asking someone for advice and hearing "Just make all the right choices and do everything perfectly."

    It rings hollow when you can't relate. Then it gets nauseating after 5+ movies.


  15. Just checking the consistency here.

     

    Age of Ultron: Cap couldn't lift the Hammer (and was trying to rationalize it away with Stark at the end), while Thor and Vision could lift it.

    You're dismissing that as meaning absolutely nothing since Cap was more worthy and perfect than everyone else in that room?

     

     

    I still straight up reject the implication that Thor was such a huge steaming pile of shit of a character after Ultron/Civil War that he still needed to lose everything over the course of four entire movies to redeem himself.

     

    This is why you're haters.

    "He lost his mom, his brother, his girlfriend, his father, his sister, his best friends, his eye, his iconic weapon... his entire planet? .... "

    ".... Nah that fucking douche still hasn't learned his lesson! Kill off half of his entire race, then make him the main failure at ground zero of the universe's greatest tragedy and then watch him writhe around in guilt and emotional agony for a few more years. Then we'll see if Valkyrie and Korg need to die too..."

    As for the Cap comparisons. Just stop. Steve lived a life of constant failure, rejection, and loss before he was transformed. He learned how to deal with and process it all a long time before he even entered the super soldier program. So flipping hos arc with Thor would be a MASSIVE breach of character for him. There is a reason his favorite saying is "I can do this all day"

    Just to be consistent, you're saying that Odin's enchantment on Mjolnir, "Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor", was always meant to be completely arbitrary meaningless?
