Popeyes Chicken sandwich is not worth the hype.
Its kinda mediocre actually.

It’s good for a fast food sandwich. But yeah no food I’ve ever had would live up to the hype that sandwich had.

I think what happened is that it was better than expected and Popeyes themself just didn’t have enough, so the shortage made people think it was out of this world.

Controversial Statement:

Wendy's has the best spicy chicken sandwich.

(Better than chik fil-a and popeye's)

I never understand everyone’s love with chik fil-a. I’ve had their food a hand full of times and thought it was disgusting.

Also with fast food not all locations are created equal.

Does Chick fil A still serve milkshakes?

They aren't available on delivery apps at least in my area.

I find I'm increasingly more interested in retro and "modern retro" games than most of today's big releases.

Faltimar the Dark · May 2, 2021

I dont think that is unpopular. I'm basically the same and I know lots of other folks that are like that.

What seems popular and is showing up in just about every game is crafting. I do not like crafting in games. That shit is boring as all fuck.

P.S. I may have already posted about my dislike of crafting...

Yeah, I suppose that's more common on a site like this, given a large % of us were kids/teens in the 90's and are here due to a niche genre that's more gameplay focused. But among other friends I grew up with that still game, I'm the only one who's regularly playing that kind of stuff. The other guys either don't have the patience anymore and mostly play easy mainstream games, bro games, or mmo type games.

Probably unpopular yeah, since devs seems to be moving away from it and people are ok with that. It’s not something you see people yelling for because it’s a scrubby thing to request I think but they aren’t really pushing against either, which is telling imo.

It’s the same people who hate zoning.

Anyone who hates zoning, hates Street Fighter.

Their opinion is invalid, and needs to be chucked into a dumpster fire.

As much as I disagree with their stance there opinion is valid to the devs since that group is a large portion of the base buying your game.

Lots of gamers hate anything in PvP that slows down the pace of a game or restricts them by punishing their mistakes. You see it in everything from FGs to shooters.

Also:

The people not pushing against the elimination of chip death, whom are accepting of it, are the new fags, and don't count.

If hardly anyone is pushing against it, that is far more telling of the death of the genre, imo.

Because if that is the case, then everyone who actually liked playing 2D Fighters has moved on.

I addressed this, almost immediately, in that last reply, lol.

Same wavelength.

👍

The devs are invalid to the genre.

Basically, if the devs are going to cater to the new fags' whining, in order to chase the dollars clutched in their babyhands alongside their fish-scale pearls, which, being corporations, of course they will, then the genre is already Latin.

Strangely enough Kung Fu tea makes an Awesome Chicken Sandwich

Emptyeyes · May 7, 2021

I've generally preferred the first Marvel vs Capcom over the rest of the Capcom crossover games. It was more refined and complete for me in the late 1990s, despite that Marvel vs Capcom 2 was the only one available in my early local tournaments 20 years ago.

RSG3 · May 7, 2021

It was even more broken, busted and goofy as fuck then Marvel 2 or 3. that opinion confuses the fuck outta me hahaha.

LOL, I can accept that confusion. I tend to ignore broken mechanics/tier lists in more recent times and see where the chips fall in random select. In the earlier days though, I've always had a hilarious view of "the better the unbalance, the greater the depth" for me. Times have changed. XD

You liking it more wasnt what confused me. It was you saying its "More refined and complete."

Like enjoy busted broken shit all you want but that description of Marvel 1 barely makes sense lol.

iStu X · May 7, 2021

Marvel 1 was “Play Strider. That’s it. That’s the tech” . His worst match up was against Wolverine but it was a matter of “who can rush down who first”. And usually players had Wolverine as their second. So it didn’t particularly matter.

War-Machine and Chun-Li were aight but nothing compared to Strider and Wolverine

Maybe I'm goofy like that. It just felt better to me. More refreshing in atmosphere and the overall feel in gameplay. I can't understand it myself LOL.

The PS5 gen release was the biggest nothing burger of all gens.

Barring an exceptional Remaster posing as a Remake, there is literally nothing compelling on offer, 6 months in.

It makes the system scarcity outcry all the more farcical.

Returnal has my interest.

But yeah, with the exception of DeSo and Outriders, I'm not really playing any next gen games yet. And I wouldn't qualify Outriders as "next gen" with the buggy launch.

I do, however, REALLY enjoy Destiny at 60 fps and an expanded fov. It's a completely new experience coming from PS4 Pro. Playing Miles with 60 fps is pretty sweet, too.

A remake is a completely reworked game.

A remaster is a fresh coat of paint with minimal changes.

Yea and Demons on PS4 has a number of changes from the orignial including 8 way rolling (this is fucking huge from a gameplay standpoint) as well as new gear and a blue coin fetch quest for said gear. It matches up with your definition of a remake more or less.

I'd posit FF4 on the 3DS as more of a Remake than that, and probably as my bare minimum for said standard.

Diablo 2 Resurrected is a Remaster, to me.

So is Diablo 3 on PS4, despite the control changes.

DeSo always had rather forgiving rolls anyway.

It makes it a lot less awkward, to be sure.

But so does not having to use the Wii U as a remote to effectively run certain SM3DW stages.

Korean Autie-Collect is a cunt.

RSG3 · May 7, 2021

I mean FF4 on 3DS is also deffinitly a remake lol. But i hear you. While DeS is a remake (imo i guess) I also dont think it had enough new content to justify a console purchase.

For clarities sake, my deffinition of a remake is new code. Its brand new code from ground up so remake.

A remake is new code, someone went in and redo the game. Like Super Mario All Stars is a remake of the NES Super Mario library.

A Remaster isn't just a fresh coat of paint, it's a overhaul of a existing work.

Smash Ultimate is a pretty damn fun fighting game if you play it like one.

Stamina Battle

2 stocks

10 min timer

Flat stage

No Items

Ultimate Smash meter

My bro and I were having a blast with it earlier today.

I do too, but it's not really like a fighting game then. I'm just saying, if you play it with fighting game style settings, it's actually pretty fun and holds up. It's just that the smash community doesn't play it that way, although I think it would be interesting to see people hosting tournaments where it was played fighting game style.

This might be fun but at that point why not just play an actual FG?

Because it's fun. Also I can't think of another game where I could play as Simon Belmont and fight people 1v1 other than Castlevania Judgement but that's a different type of game too.

Chadouken · May 9, 2021

I remember playing Melee with the giant modifier on, mushrooms as the only item with max frequency, and the Fourside skyscraper level. We could only play as Bowser or DK.

Did I mention mushrooms?

MillionX · May 9, 2021

haha, yeah other games in the fighting genre aren't giving us things like Mewtwo, and Sephiroth beating up Pikachu...or Luigi beating up Princess Peach... or Link fighting Kirby! 😆 This has always been the main appeal of the game for me...the craziness of that roster....and in Ultimate, the # of characters involved is insane.

More from being a picky eater--- horseradish. olives.... sprinkles on ice cream....also---souerkraut = nah, that's trash, imo.

Also-- there's some foods I like, but I don't want them "infecting" other foods... like spinach. I prefer to keep that separate from almost everything else. It goes well with pasta stuff so that's ok...but that's it, imo.

What does EVO do for Smash? They got any rules and shit?

DarkSakul · May 9, 2021

43 minutes ago, Chadouken said:

Not sure 100% if Evo follows this, but this is the typical Smash Bros rule for tourneys.

Ruleset: 3 Stock
Time Limit: 6-8 minutes
All items are turned off.
Stage Hazard Toggle: Off
Final Smash Meter: Off
Mii Fighters and their respective custom moves are allowed. If they do use custom moves, it will be shown in their name with what number move it is.
Similar to previous Smash titles, if time runs out, the winner is first determined by how many stocks remain, and then by the percentage after time is up.
If both stock and percentage are the same, or a game ends in both players losing their last stock at the same time, then a tiebreaker is played, which consists of a 1 stock and 3 minute match with the same characters and the same stage.

Pretty lame if you ask me, but it looks like they only want players to knock out players.
The whole "it's not fair, it's a stage hazard that knocked me out not the other player" BS.

Most "pro" Smash players have that Scrub mindset.

Sauerkraut is good (healthy), but the taste is a little strong. Good thing there's apple sauerkraut!

Camacho · May 9, 2021

The intensity of it varies dramatically by brand. I'll have to grab that apple kraut the next time I see it at Aldi (hail Aldi, by the way). A co-worker turned me on to Frank's sweet kraut recently, it's damn good- doesn't have that strong taste. But I'm also guessing the strong stuff has more of the health benefits.

MillionX · May 10, 2021

I'm intrigued....I'd be inclined to try it at least...to see if the apple taste is enough to redeem it. My grandfather ate sauerkraut quite often...I vaguely remember even the smell was disgusting to me. Now that I'm thinking of it... there was quite a lot he liked that I found repulsive... like sardines. Grandfather ate those on a regular basis too...it was yet another food that would cause me to leave the room whenever he was eating that.
