The MEGASHOCK Saloon Thread 3: Chinder Chagger Edition
Darc_Requiem replied to Disciple0fAnrky's topic in General Discussion
If I don't feel comfortable referring to someone by a term, I consider it a slur. Every Latino, I know finds it deeply offensive. As everyone one of them has told me you can't even pronounce it in Spanish. They find it insulting and view it as Americans trying to insert some nonsense into their language and culture. It's something @Hecatomhas mentioned for some time now. I don't know if I should type that shit out anymore. This isn't a delayed response either, the push back has been immediate. Edit: For clarification, if I can't refer to a "stranger" as something, it's a slur. Friends may let you slide with saying something that a stranger will throw hands over. -

Nemo's hate for grapplers shows in his tier list. Which speaks to Manon's strength as character, Nemo think she's low tier. And he has her lower than Lily. Weird tier list but I've been a bit out of the loop as of late. -

Not Latino but I view Latin* as a slur. I still remember when first heard of it and asked my coworker about it. Cool dude he got instantly pissed. That's all I needed to know. But that reaction has been the norm in my experience. Last year I was on Destiny 2 chatting via Discord and another chill dude went on like a 45 minute rant about it. It amazes me that the type of people that get offended over everything keep trying to make it a thing. -
The Dating Thread: The FGC is not the place to get laid
Darc_Requiem replied to Vhozite's topic in General Discussion
What are you talking about man? We were running sets when she got hit by that truck. It was probably one those dudes she drugged getting pay back 👀 -
He was also the Dominant of Wind in FF16 👀

@Hecatomseeing Bungie get roasted on Twitter/X for using Latinx For context.... -
I'm just going to settle for the old Ryu FGC pronunciation situation 😂

The PC Gaming Thread, no console peasants allowed
Darc_Requiem replied to DarkSakul's topic in Tech Talk
@HawkingbirdI dont think I'm getting the extra Starfield code. I ordered my CPU on 9/26 but it didn't ship until 10/3. Promotion expired 9/30. I got it today but I haven't gotten a redemption code from Amazon. I thought they'd go by order date. Wish I could just give you my copy that came with GPU. I haven't even played it an hour. Wish Steam would let you gift games you've played less than 2 hours too. Side note: I got home from work and have spent the entire evening installing my motherboard, cpu, and working out all the kinks. Should have did this weekend but I was impatient. Hopefully this BIOS update lets me run my DDR5 6000 instead 4800 or I'm going to be salty. I checked the what RAM speed and the specific brand RAM ahead of time. Everything should work.....PCs....the gift and the curse of upgradibility. Edit: Everything is up and running fine. DDR5 6000 is running at that. I'm set for a while now. 7800X3D, 32GB DDR5 6000, and 7900XTX. Only complaint I have is my 6900XT was whisper quiet and my 7900XT is audible. It's bad or anything. It's noticeable. When I'm not wearing my headphones or when I don't have my desk fan on. -
This Cait Sith situation describes the absurdity of our times perfectly. Final Fantasy VII is 26 years old. The internet has been a thing for two decades. Extreme, soft serve, internet butt hurt has been a thing for like 7 or 8 years. I literally heard about this like a month ago. All the clickbait nonsense that Kraptaku, Puritygon, and The Lamer shits out, and this hasn't been click farmed before now? Granted I don't frequent Rejectera, so I may have missed it.

I'll just be blunt. People are dumb. They dispute easily verifiable facts and only accept evidence that confirms their stupidity. -
There is no competition for best girl. It's Karlach, anyone else is a distant second. (Sorry Shadowheart and La'zel). There is a reason I have yet get Minthara. You have to give up three squadmates for her. They really should have balanced that out better. Let you gain at least one additional party member down the line for what you lose. Karlach's VA some how manages to convey wholesomeness and badassery at the same time. It's an odd but endearing quality. I'm really in awe of the overall quality of voice acting in BG3. Everyone does such a good job. Conversations are so much better than Static Field. Bethesda REALLY needs to update their conversation system. It's like two decades out of date. It's bad enough it gets stomped in that regard by games like BG3 and CP2077. What's worse is that, you can go back to Mass Effect 1 or Jade Empire and they both do a better job. Those games are from 2007 and 2005. Edit: Characters in Star Field are stiffer than Jay-Z in the "I'll be" Foxy Brown video in conversations.

The Star Wars Thread: Where we discuss ALL of Star Wars
Darc_Requiem replied to Darc_Requiem's topic in General Discussion
Ahsoka had all the ingredients of a great Star Wars show. Unfortunately, it was cooked by a chef Gordon Ramsay kicked out of Hell's Kitchen. If you would have told after Mando season 2 that we'd get a live action Star Wars show that featured Ahsoka, Thrawn, Night Sisters, two interesting Dark Jedi, and it would be meh. I would have thought you were crazy. This show was pockets of awesomeness surrounded by utter mediocrity. It unfortunately ended up where I thought it'd be after the first three episodes. I thought they wasted a lot of run time that would be needed near the seasons conclusion. And that's exactly what happened. Instead having more time to flesh out the events of Peridea, the took entirely too long on the setup. They squandered too much time on the appetizer and didn't spend enough on the main course. -

You left out the part of the video where he goes into VR and creates a digital Pumba that loves his attention 👀 -
I haven't done that yet. Maybe in the future. I didn't like losing three companions in exchange for one. I'll tag this... EDITL: That reminds me when it comes to a certain windmill...

The Castlevania/Bloodstained Thread: Whip It Good
Darc_Requiem replied to DoctaMario's topic in General Discussion
While I enjoyed it overall, I'm not as familiar with the back story. The Turbo CD was one of the few platforms I didn't have access to growing up and when I found out Dracula X wasn't really a port of Rondo of Blood, I lost interest. The source material comes from the era of video game that didn't have the extensive story telling of modern games. So that leaves a creator plenty of room to adapt the story with some creative license. They can fill in the the missing details with their own spin while leaving the hard points of the story alone. I can see @Camacho's point. If I were knowledgeable on the lore of this era of Castlevania, I doubt I'd have the same view of Nocturne. -
