    M$ going to M$, they are talking getting rid of the control panel in windows soon.

     

    Bout to have alot of people switch over to Linux soon

     

    People should have done that already. I've been stuck on w7 for years now, since I don't constantly get bullshit updates and bad UI (and creepy Cortana).

    I just use w7 for games, Linux for literally everything else.

    Game update: I'm still stuck in Cuphead, so I decided to just play DQ3 for a while. lol

    snip about flags

    You know an actually cool flag that isn't used due to sensitivity/the fact that it's only a wartime flag?

    Edit: naw

    AFAIK only far right (read: ultra nationalist) groups in Japan still use it. Mostly because other countries complain a lot if they see it, but also because Japan isn't at war and actually legally can't declare war (I think).

    Just want to remind everyone that this game's combo structure is not like SF4 or Marvel 3:

     

    You want to get as many heavy-er normals into the beginning of the combo, and save boost chains for late (if at all), otherwise your damage will really suffer.

     

    The difference between starting a combo with lights > boost chain vs mediums > chained launcher can be massive. Also, Tekken chains affect scaling way less than normal boost chains, and are special cancellable (giving Tekken characters a pretty big advantage, IMO).

    So for Claw, doing cr.mk, cr. mp > (optional cr. hp) launcher (or scarlet terror xx tag) is going to do probably 30% more than cr.lp (optional cr.lp) > cr.mp> cr.hp > launcher, regardless of what the incoming tag partner does.

    A lot of characters can link their s.lp into s.hp/cr.hp as well, which is a big damage boost from a light confirm. For example, Lili can do st.lp, cr.hp (plinkable 1 frame link) into launcher or any of her special moves. These combos hit like a truck, even from a jab starter.

    One of the main reasons SFxT has more timeouts than most games is that people still, even in 2020, don't do optimal combos.

     

    Not sure anyone's said that so far in the thread.

    anybody know of a good video downloader?  Apowersoft has gone to shit.

    I use Ant.com's video downloader. Just an easy to use chrome extension.

    And from your previous post, yes, probably a lot of betting sites do illegal stuff. But if they've been around a while, they're probably -pretty- good about paying out.

    I still can't register though so it might be  a moot point. Btw Betfair is giving 2.88-1 payouts for Trump, so I could potentially 3x my money (minus whatever commission they take).

    Yes I'm betting on Trump because the polls are wack and he's doing well in swing states (which are all that really matter). And Texas is not a swing state like CNN says.

    Yo can we do Sunday Bunday here? Or no?

    I'm guessing that falls under the hot girl thread.

    My job is doing something similar to what we did on SRK the last election cycle. People who pick the right candidate get a 50% raise for the next month. Losers get unpaid vacation for the next week.

    That's pretty funny, at least.

    I found a website called Betfair, but I'm not sure I can make an account as an American. Trying to bet some money on Trump. Too bad I didn't do it in 2016 when I also predicted he'd win. I would have made serious bank back then, damn.

    Oh is that just too much quality for you to handle?

    The main actress looks like a man.

    Also the shit was not explained even after season 2.

     

    Spoiler

    The old dude hired the husband to spy on Elizabeth? somehow she's Russian? And when does this shit end- when the whole blacklist is captured? when she finds out who her father is?

    Like, the Mentalist has the Red John mystery, you don't know who the killer is. But at least I understood the character's motivations and stuff.

    Just wasn't worth watching anymore. Way too long, way too much other stuff on Netflix to watch.

    I bought Uniclr  (a month or 2 ago) specifically because the director said he wanted rollback.

     

    I've wasted so much money on throwaway fighters I figure I should at least support games that express the desire for Rollback.

     

    Gosh, I'm still angry about Granblue. god dammit.

     

    So.... Gordeau is a cool character. I'll play him.

    TL;DR: if more players play online then offline & offline events are cancelled, does that mean the online version is more important than the offline version? 

     

    I think one point would be that "offline strats" would still work correctly online (if you're in rollback). EG Alpha 2:

     

    Sakura's crossup into uppercut loop works offline or online.

     

    Doing Adon's jaguar kick (which is unsafe even on hit, unless you hit an extended limb) and then activating CC or super to try to catch their punish will probably only work online.

     

    Same with ST: Claw's walldive loop always works. Ken spamming Jab shoryu does not (probably).

    So it's important to know all the online gimmicks, and also know that they prolly won't work against a tournament player offline.

     you on that Blacklist trip too. Wife and I havent had a chance to watch season 6 yet. We're still stuck on the shimmies involving his identity and the bones.

     

    😭

    I stopped after season 3 because there are 26 (ish) 1-hour episodes in every season. That is absurdly long for a series with 7 seasons.

     

    It was interesting for the first 2 seasons though.

    I liked the Mentalist way more than Blacklist.

    @ScanmanPuerto Ricans are American Citizens. Have been since 1917 IIRC

    I did not know that. I just know about the financial stuff. Peter Schiff said they vote against PR becoming a state so that they won't have to pay US taxes, but I kind of didn't believe it.

    But if they're US citizens who don't pay US income tax, that's interesting.

    In a book full of terrible things, it somehow manages to end in a terrible way too.

     

    I dont know that I can deal with Puerto Rican politics anymore. Its a castle of lies built ona foundation of abuse.

    Being an American territory is not such a good thing. They have to use USD so their monetary policy cannot be independent, but they're allowed to go as deep into debt as they want. So the country territory doesn't get fixed.

    I believe the same is true of Guam and Samoa.

    Only good thing is they have a (I think) slightly easier time getting into America and becoming American.

    Strange thing is that they're offered the chance to become a US state somewhat regularly and they always reject the idea.

    The US having more than 50 states would really destroy the rhymes of a lot of songs, lol.

    Edit: Sonero already knows all this. I was just talking for everyone else.
