How old is too old for leftover pizza for some of you?  day old? 2 days? 

Usually about 3 days imo. After that, it just gets too dried out and the flavor is more cardboard than pizza. I find putting it in foil or a ziplock bag helps it retain flavor and consistency for longer in the fridge, but even then, 3 days is about all you'll get before it's not worth the calories anymore.

What do you guys think about mechanics that puts situation in a rock,paper and scissors?

 

Team Aerial Counter in UMvC3

 

And Counter Breaker  in KI

 

Are mechanics that put situation on a rock, paper and scissors okay or had negative?

Depends on how seriously I take the game. If I'm just playing for fun, I don't care, but if I'm trying to git gud, fuck all that. Then you can outplay someone but get rekt by the RnGesus and that's no fun.

DOA had a pretty good system of RPS going IMO.  punch beats throw, throw beats, counter, counter beats punch.

 

.......Then the jiggling starts and all that goes flying out the ring.

With this Huracan situation i have been getting calls and emails from ex girlfriends from when lived on El Salvador, checking how i am doing.

I have to say i am surprised, since i didnt hear from most of them in years, and while i ended in good terms with all of them, this was kind of unexpected 🤔

Hot take, DoA should have just gone all female cast. It would have made it...stand out...more from the crowd. 👀

Well, the 1st game kinda did that, since the 3 original female chars (Kasumi, Lei Fang and Tina) premise was that they were fighting in a men's world.

And with subsequent games the female to male ratio has always been F>M, even replacing a char like Ein with Hitomi.

 

The you have the fact that an all female cast was already done, (not sure if in 3d fgs though), and no matter what people say, an all female cast makes your game kind of a niche one, some people get insecure if they dont have buff half naked guys to play with 👀

 

I think that DOA has only until recently have fallen of grace, even if didnt have a strong presence in tournaments all the time, is a series that consistently has sold very well, and even had pro tours on the OG Xbox and 360 era while other games didnt.

 

Is just until DOA6 that the series has re3ally struggled

I can't fap to that! 😭 

 

Seriously though, it shouldn't surprise me it came to that as well...the characters/aesthetics of the series always appealed to that demographic. It was only a matter of time.

Plus, is only on the free version of Extreme Venus Vacation.

And iirc, is only really available on japan and part of asia (you can still get it on steam via some fuckery)

If you just want to fuck with the classic formula, you have the Vita and PS4 versions, but they dont have the newer waifus and the newer swimsuits :/

 

But i think you can hack them into the old Xtreme3 and DOA5 and DOA6 for PC

 

I know some even hacked the whole pol dance mode into those games and even added waifus of other series.

Those aren't strict rock/paper/scissors though as the options are not equal (gain meter, take meter, or gain height in MvC3; more or less damage in KI).  That creates a level of yomi, and that's kind of the game.

 

What I don't like is when you basically get one chance or you die, which is a big problem with TAC infinites in MvC3.  I don't keep up with KI, but I think they largely got rid of combos with only one or two opportunities to break, which is a direction I endorse.

When you consider how most of the blender/sfm/xnalara porn is DOA followed by OW, is kind of funny that people still will play the gacha games.

 

Like, common niggas, DOA porn is so ubiqutuous that is basically the whole 3d/video game porn genre. 😂

 

My take is, I'm not saying you're not allowed to pay for this stuff, I'm just saying I'm allowed to laugh at you for choosing to do so. 🤣

I think DoA6 only struggled because it didn't learn from the mistakes of DoA5 and somehow made it worse. Having content that was DLC in the previous game also be DLC in the new game is a horrible look. Trying to monetarize basic features was it's death nail. 

 

I didn't spend a lot of time with DoA6 but it's gameplay didn't feel much different than 5.

Cold pizza -- the best I can say about this is that it is *tolerable*.  If for some strange reason there's no other convenient options I'm ok with it....but really, it should be re-heated...preferably in the oven instead of the microwave....maybe some people are just that damn impatient (edit--or they are in a break room at work and thus have no access to an oven at the moment), but I can wait.  The oven can make it pretty much like "new" again....if we're talking about day #2 of course.

 

I vaguely recall a show on one of the sports networks called Cold Pizza... it was on every morning...there was a former Road Rules girl, Kit Hoover on there....girl was SMOKIN hot/adorable, imo... along with another gorgeous one named Thea Andrews.

Will the discord and comment section gonna be all they have? Good lord. 

Sounds like it.  Honestly I don't think I've ever even visited their forums.

 

But if anyone over there is worthwhile, someone might want to tell them about Megashock.

 

Comments section kind of makes me doubtful about that though.

I paid a visit to Dustloop because it's been years since I been over there. What happened to the place? The last new post was in March. 

Discord.

 

It's part of why I had an irrational hate for it until it saved SRK.

Gonna try something new for the new year as long as I have this new client contract. Gonna give myself $100/mo in spending money (mostly for games), with one catch. I'll have to stick within the budget, and if I go over; the overage is deducted from the next month's budget. I'm currently undecided as if I want to keep months where I underspend and be able to roll those over to the next month. I should be able to figure something out.
