  1. Refine yourself, my good man. Also, dear Gollum, cook your damned fish before you apply it to your precious pie.
  2. True. Also true: I will not let the past stand in the way of my cup of Joe, nor dictate my enjoyment of it. I shall dance like an epileptic Capo, justifying his Bolsonaro vote to defend my mug of black. I am all for reparations in the form of the descendants of the oppressed taking over Starbucks. They can only make it better.
  3. Exactly. But peanut butter is a homicidal cunt towards me. Really, the least racist food is fish. It crosses all cultures and ethnicities, except maybe Tibet. Even pizza. Which bring us back 'round to the fact that if you're complaining about fish on pizza, it probably was not prepped properly. Pro tip: if your pizza comes to you soggy, it is more than likely because the restaurant dumped anchovies in spring water on top on it, and you really need to start questioning your parlor choices.
  4. And at the end of the day... tea. How much blood was shed throughout history, over coffee's retarded step cousin?
  5. And Santa Claus wears red and white to help sell Coca-Cola in the winter. G. I. Joe up in this ish.
  6. As someone with a deadly peanut allergy, I agree, 100%.
  7. I honestly would rather scrape the lining out of my mouth than subject it to candy corn. Candy corn is regret you can taste just by looking at it.
  8. Even Raoh be like, "In this life, I have but a single regret!"
  9. Man, those things tasted like the person who bought them for you wanted you to know that they were willing to spend the money on them just to express how little they actually loved you.
  10. Candy corn is the predicate of meth sentences.
  11. @misterBee Tuna on pizza is delicious. Source: not really cheating on cheat day, back when seriously lifting AKA when I could leg press 1600. @Chadouken C¹andy corn does not taste like welfare. Candy corn taste like the inevitable violence manifest of abject poverty.
  12. Cyberpunk is literally going to be my last full $60 Day 1 purchase. After that, I will exclusively wait for deep sales... at least until games are 3/7 or less of next gen idiotic price gouging. Life is too short to pay full price for $70 games, in light of half a decade's worth of quality backlog. And Imma wait until at least a year out, before dipping into next gen. Those <50% of the SoCs that DID pass muster have 50/50 odds of not going the way of the RRoD.
  13. SF5 is still free on PSN for the next few hours... ...and then tomorrow Vampyr takes its place, and I finally have a reason to download a Plus game for the first time in over a year.
  14. Huh. This place looks like repurposed NeoGAF, but marginally saner, and without the 500 lb. Ephebophilia angle.
  15. Diablo 2 was a better game as a SP or local Multi experience. The only thing that made online worth bothering with were the abyssmal drop rates starting out. Those drop rates basically made D2 "online" D2: Day Trader Edition. It sucked. It was the acme of not fun. That "not fun" was so integral to getting to the actual fun, is why D2 was, in all truth, terribad game design. Path of Exile took this horriwful game design, and ratcheted it up manifold times. Path of Exile has the worst drops ever. 95% of the game is either whiling and wiling away days trading, or farming in hopes of getting crap drops your character can't use, in order be able to while and wile away days in trade. It is the exact opposite of what I find fun in a game. It is the player LARPing Skinner being chased by an anthropomorphic carrot beating him to death with its stick. That is why it is a bad game Yes opinion. Yes fact. If I wanted to spend all day trading, I'd play the stock market, or flip like a SNAAAAAKE!, because damned if those aren't more engaging activities, if also not games, qua fun.
  16. I infinitely prefer it. Solid single player, and you keep you character data on your rig, so you don't lose it, so it's as tangible as character data gets. The itemization is far superior, to me, as well. No economy of SoJs or the unbelievably worse economy of PoE. No sockets - everything has its own stats. But you can place an "augment" and a component into every piece of equipment for specifically buffing or shoring up holes, or even to get a special ability or attack that one of them might grant. It deals in +to particular skills, +to all of a particular class's skills, or + to all skills, to buff skills beyond their soft caps, but in the tradition of Titan Quest, it hard caps every skill at +10 over the soft cap. It really is a mechanics and number manipulating and crunching marvel. Prefixes and suffixes on rare, re: Rare items called MIs, or Monster Infrequents, that drop off of specific enemies, are often game changing, given a certain roll, but there are so many different potential combinations, it invites creativity to come to fore, as you farm to try put your newest build idea. But Set items and Uniques are more than sufficient, and not THAT hard to obtain, because a certain blacksmith can reroll any piece of a set (barring those need a blueprint to from first in order to craft, but I think you are golden once you get the bp, regardless... I am still waiting on the Octavius call up to drop though, grrr!). The gameplay is THE most like D2 of any of its contemporaries and successors that I have experienced. It DOES love its resistances, much like D2, but there are like... 11 of them, lol. So a lot of tweaking and customization is involved in tuning up the perfect level 100 toon. Oh, and it is a dual class system, meaning that each character chooses two classes, effectively becoming a third class. Eight classes as of now, with a ninth on its way. I run around with a high block percentage Death Knight, and let most trash mobs Retaliation Merk themselves, bouncing off of me. But my main is kind of pumped and busted, as all effective end-game builds ought to be. There are very few objectively not good class combinations (R.I.P. Saboteurs ((former gods of 1.0)). And there are challenge dungeons, too, with the top ones being roguelike, in that if you die in one, you are sent out and locked out that instance until you start a new session. They have lots of great loot at their ends. Oh, and Nemeses... each enemy faction has an all but God unique monster than randomly instances about the world... they are the holders of several awesome MIs. P.S. I can totes hook you up, if you find yourself missing something. I play 100% self-found, but I am proud, and anal retentive that way, and do not trust most other people's legitimacy. I'd trust you, I mean... just not any randoms.
  17. So... SRK-1 is in read only mode now?
  18. Next thing on my list. I platted the O.G. PS3 Ken's Rage. Best believe I'll plat an actually GOOD HNK game.
