Re: Student Sells $80k Pokémon Card Collection To Pay For University

@AndyC_MK84 Well it still seems like everyone needs a four-year degree or something, because dealing with average people is murder. Just cram the first 2-4 years of college into tax-paid primary education by cutting out the bloat, still allowing people to choose a career path through their risk/reward dollar, and let's start with that small step towards advancing our collective intelligence.

@AndyC_MK84 And yet we fund primary education with tax dollars, which is either clearly going to waste or is working and all the more reason we need to reform it and enforce higher learning.

On the flip side, I cannot even begin to trust either government to not waste or mishandle the funds (and are notoriously easy to pull off scams) or private enterprise to not make it the absolute price-gouge that it currently is.

Re: Random: Finally, Someone Made Ramen For Gamers

@JasmineDragon I think the Doritos noodles might be okay, actually. Cheese and spices have found their way to ramen. Cheese, not so often, but it has precedence.

I'm more concerned about the Mountain Dew. That won't work no matter how that's done. A limp hint, adding carbonation to the broth, failing to substitute the lime — none of those would work well. And that's not even what they did. They soaked the egg and the seaweed (barf) in Mountain Dew.

Re: Random: Sakurai Won't Be Sharing As Many Smash Ultimate Photos Next Year

@Sabrewing I still don't know what the 2 clocks were for, considering the rest of the photos are character-driven. Sure we had a reveal on 12/10, but that doesn't explain the 14 or the 30. And, hey, they probably mean nothing in re: reveals, but that's the only reasonable instance since it's that out-of-whack, whereas speculation on his normal photos makes absolutely no sense whatsoever.

@CollieGirl In Texas, we get all of the climates lol

But yeah, that's interesting, static frying the components, that's why the U.S. has the wonky design. Although, that didn't really stop the SNES and N64 even with their "flaps."
Interesting to hear of controller breakage challenges — that's how we got the workhorse of an NES controller that we know today.

Re: Random: Smash Bros. Fans React To Geno's Return As A Mii Fighter Costume

@Specters Looks, style, personality, attack. Depth, intelligence, and such take a backseat in the Circus of the Lowest Common Denominator. Though Geno Boost and the Blast/Flash are no slouches.
Same general reason Tails gets picked on and ignored, despite being the barometer for whether or not a Sonic game fits the franchise's own theming and story tone.

Re: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Version 10.0.0 Is Now Live, Here Are The Full Patch Notes

@sanderev Interesting. I'm very curious to see if Falco's aerial game and Reflector absolutely murder him. Can't imagine how salty a Sephiroth player would get from a reflected fully-charged B.
EDIT: It did in fact make the Lv. 8 AI sweat profusely. Falco's aerial chaining is a fantastic matchup against his angles, slow startup, and slow endlag. Reflector was HILARIOUS. But don't approach Sephiroth from above. 😬

@AnnoyingFrenzy I similarly thought about Cloud's Up+B to really cheese it, but my principles wouldn't let me. 🤣
