Nah, she's in japan on a cool business thing for the near future. Ironically, that means more streams from her because she gets to just mess around early in the afternoon while it's night time in the americas.

after pat just fails over and over against the IMPOSSIBLE OBSTRUCTION of the griffon from queen knight's stage combined with the cauldrons of lava because he just cannot use special weapons, he finally does, gets past it immediately, and then the best thing happens(and then the next death is perfect too)

edit: holy poo poo he just keeps dying immediately and it's great, he even forgets where he is and tries to pogo shovel off a lava fish in the first pit and just dies immediately :allears:

I didn't get to the podcast til a day or so later. They are talking about how American restaurants never split the bill and act like it's a pain in the rear end.


I just always blamed it in people being loving stupid as poo poo. I worked retail for a while and was at Bed, Bath, and Beyond where our cash registers were 20+ year old computer systems. If 3 people wanted to pay for a purchase... each one chipping in with like... cash... debit... credit... check... etc. I could do that. Then I'd go to a place with brand new super nice registers that I would almost dream about having because they weren't awful pieces of poo poo. And I'd be like: "Oh can we split this?" And the reaction would be: "Uh our system uh can't uh do uh that." Bullshit it can't. You just have never tried. I was never told our system could but oh look, I figured out how because someone asked.

Though it also reminds me of a guy I knew paying for pizza... it was super simple, something like$19.50 with him giving the cashier a $20. The cashier grabbed out a calculator because he couldn't tell how much change he needed to give back.

The demon tower nonsense in DMC3 probably killed some people. The city in DMC3 always felt weirdly deserted to avoid addressing this subject, though.

As far as DMC5 goes, even if you consider Urizen a completely separate entity from Vergil, Urizen's creation was the explicit purpose of his whole demon/human separation business. Urizen only exists because Vergil wanted him to exist, in the exist way he exists, so I'd say Vergil is pretty culpable for everything Urizen does.

That wasn't Pat's argument--he was saying there's nothing in the work that Urizen does that demonstrably kills anyone. The Qlipoth kills a ton of people, but we don't see Urizen plant it, or use the Yamato to unseal it, or whatever, and the in game lore says it's, "naturally occurring," whatever the hell that means. All Urizen does is brood on a tree, beat up but not kill several demon hunters who attacked him, eat an apple that was harvested by morally exploitative market forces (man, who hasn't), and scream a lot about power.

Yes, if Urizen unleashed the Qlipoth into the city, then Virgil is 100% responsible for millions of deaths. But Pat's right--the writers were careful NOT to establish that, in case they want to use Virgil in another game and don't want him to be a murderer on the scale of Pol Pot.

It was really annoying that woolie tried to defend his previous "I don't need more Devil May Cry" statement by saying that he only meant he doesn't want more dante but would be fine with trish/lady spinoff or a nero game OR just 'more DMC gameplay' and acting like everyone was an idiot for misunderstanding him!!

Because if he phrased it like that in the first place pretty much everyone would have agreed with him on the spot

Same, I've live in the Midwest and every place I go to asks first if we want a split check or not, on the rare occasion a server doesn't it's not a problem. I think I've had like maybe 3 servers act like it was a hassle and they weren't very good at their jobs in general.

Yeah, he said you should just eat it. I can understand this to an extent, but if there's a loving hair in your food, gently caress that noise. It sounded like Paige had also tried sending stuff back because she merely didn't like it which, yeah, seems outlandish to me.

The not returning food thing was really bizarre to me. Like if you have a hair in your food you're an idiot if you just eat that poo poo up, what the hell, get a refund or something
Also Pat claimed that people lining up when waiting for a bus is a canadian only thing which is so super loving wrong that it annoyed me personally, like oh yeah everyone else is just a complete caveman or what?

Mel Mudkiper posted:

It was obvious if you know Woolie, but what he said and what he meant were very different things. 'I don't want more Devil May Cry' should not be what you say when you mean 'I want more Devil May Cry gameplay, but not a continuation of Dante's storyline'. It would not have been a huge deal at all but he kind of made it one with how strongly he wanted to defend himself in the last podcast. Just admit you phrased it badly!!

I think it also has a lot to do with the type of hair and the type of food. Like, solid food with a long straight hair on the side? Sure, just grab that off, it's cool. Soup with a thick pube hair in the middle? who would eat that

That's not a guarantee. There are hundreds of thousands of hairs on different employees in a kitchen, one or two showing up on a plate once in a while is really damned good. The expectation that a hair should never end up in food and that you're going to be killed by a hair touching your food or somethingis unreasonable. I can understand someone being unnerved by it and I'm okay with a discount/comp on that plate, but the idea that a hair off someone's head is enough to throw away food when there are human beings eating out of dumpsters is so offensive to me.

And I'm trying not to be combative here. These are the kinds of discussions I like because I'm always curious about peoples' thoughts on it.
