Antivehicular posted:The first piece of honest-to-God Internet drama I witnessed firsthand was when an extremely cringey acquaintance was getting dragged on Portal of Evil and tried to sell out someone else in that friend group to get PoE clout, except the guy he was trying to sell out was much less awkward and also a young teen, so dude nuked his social life just to have PoE say "lol who cares" It's amazing how the Helldump dynamic plays out absolutely everywhere before and since.

I don't remember much about helldump itself except the goon they harassed like crazy for having a yoshi fursona. Yoshisona? I don't know if there was anything deeper than that, but boy they hunted down every scrap of information about him they could find.

lol my first introduction to forums as a kid was the yoshi art forums, which was also a very boring feature on weekend web. djynn flyssa was a member, as was shmorky for a hot second until the mods got pissy at the art of yoshi drinking cartoon bottles of moonshine. after shmorky got banned/left willingly with a mod warning they made this comic for their yoshi side series that is maybe lesser known? weird history.  will say that it was both surprising and not surprising when I saw the djynn flyssa helldump on SA later on. was very weird to be a kid on a forum dedicated to T. Yoshisaur Munchakoopas. lmfao Mock Turtle fucked around with this message at 09:38 on Apr 3, 2023 |

Valko posted:I've read interviews of MMA fighters and they say the smelly jockstrap you trained in for the last few months can be used as an effective weapon. I never tried it myself but I've made many people pass out by squeezing them unconscious, with their face somewhere near my armpit. That was when I worked in a bar, a long time ago. It's not something I do regularly. weird. there are a lot of mythoi around smelling like total poo poo when you walk into your match but it's basically impossible to smell anything except the cleaning fluid they use between fights and the smell of the mats/crowd. e2: if you're entering the ring/cage smelling bad enough that it might debilitate your opponent, your training partners probably want to kill you also how were you choking people unconscious in a position where their face is near your armpit?? the only way I can think of some kind of darce or modified guillotine but i also can't imagine some random guy at a bar doing those well enough to cut off blood to a person's brain over a long enough period that they pass out edit: whoops missed the probe NeatHeteroDude fucked around with this message at 09:05 on Apr 3, 2023 |

weaponizing gross body parts can also be seen in the world of wrestling, with the Stinkface move popularised by Rikishi in which the victim is subjected to a facial assault using the attackers buttocks. Most recently this move has been employed in the IZWF by fan favourite Dongicus of the Obese Brotherhood. Be sure to tune in!!!

The Saddest Rhino posted:one of the stranger things i saw on POE was a guy being mad at k thor jensen for being in a dating reality show because apparently that loses him his clout or some dumb nerd poo poo It was Blind Date. Dang I missed the guy being mad about it, I think, I just remember everyone laughing. That show owned they should bring it back. It was pop up video but reality dating. It was stupid as poo poo. thank god someone else mentioned the PoE thing, because yeah that just reads as portal of evil to me. I wonder if Ben Schumin is still super boring, I really do not understand why he had such a long ongoing thread about him.

Up until recently, you could still read the Helldump goldmine(?) if you had archives. Not sure if that’s still the case.

There are some cool experimental attempts at a Diablo style game but one that I found on a demo disc as a teen and thought was really striking was Throne of Darkness, which was apparently made by ex-Diablo 1 devs for Vivendi It gave you a small party to micromanage that each had their own inventory and skill trees and there were four factions for them

Taeke posted:gently caress optimising poo poo, I'll just reload a save if I fail a couple of times and turn down the difficulty if I need to. Haven't had to do that yet on hard difficulty, it seems pretty forgiving for my generalist playstyle right now. I did have to so that couple of times with Assassins Creed Odyssey though and I feel 0 zero shame about it. Days of caring about that are way behind me. if a game has a difficulty setting I will always choose the easiest one, and ill always crank the brightness as high as I can without the screen becoming solid white. gently caress your “ambiance” and “until pattern is barely visible”, I want to be able to see poo poo and I play to unwind and have some fun, not for a badge of pride or to prove my worth, I don’t have time for that

Most video games let you adjust difficulty on the fly, which rules because that means I get to try the hard difficulty and let the game challenge me, and just go "nah I don't feel like it" at any time. Lock me out of trophies or whatever, I don't care, just give me buttons to play the game on my terms and we're cool. The best is when games have modular difficulty options. Hell yeah let me keep the challenging combat but also give me extra loot so I can skip fights I don't feel like doing, and if there's even a "gently caress this particular boss encounter" that doesn't change the rest of the game, I will absolutely recommend this to anyone.

I hate when games have modular difficulty but also add an arbitrary "if you change from the hardest one you're not allowed to change it back" restriction. Even some very good games do this. I'm consistently a "too good for Hard, too poo poo for Hellfuck Mode" player so this always gets me

I just pick normal difficulty no matter what because a.) I'm aggressively mediocre at everything. b.) Like 90% of games nowadays don't really change anything from skill setting to skill setting except health and damage values. It's not like Goldeneye where different skill settings have extra objectives or whatever anymore.

Modular difficulty’s the best setup, reduce enemy hp values but up their damage intensely so I’m not dealing with damage sponges but they’re still dangerous Arbitrarily high enemy hp is one of the greatest difficulty sins

I play on normal because it's the normal way to play when you're a normal guy. Apart from turn-based RPGs where I always pick the difficulty right above normal because I'm slightly better than average at those. E: Oh, and deckbuilding games. I've just beaten Aces and Adventures on the highest difficulty with all classes. Paladinus fucked around with this message at 16:59 on Apr 3, 2023 |
