Re: Charles Martinet, Voice Of Mario, Clears Up A Decades-Long Debate

MrVariant

@daveh30 yeah Nintendo life avoided that completely. Power of lgbt lobby lol I remember when street fighter had Ryu and chunli taunt poison, one of which calling her a trap and the game was then edited because of their backlash. Goddamn criminal but just like gta vice city needing to edit Diaz Haitian d*ckhead line people need political correctness with or against criminals, which makes no sense. I'm glad bang!tango was vulgar for this reason, even with everyone so closeted in protecting the transgender who wanted to rob the gang boss for gender reassignment surgery.

Re: Nintendo Labo Variety Kit Surpasses One Million Sales

MrVariant

@Rhaoulos it isn't just cardboard honestly. I never really understood it until I learned it was VR and different games, especially the shooter variety (I liked police 911 though this won't give me that level of workout). PC and PS4/XBOne cannot emulate this. Thanks for mentioning there are different kits to look at. It can easily appeal to non-gamers as the wii did with sports/fit.

Re: Capcom Home Arcade Is A Plug-And-Play Arcade Stick Packed With Classic Games

MrVariant

@ilikeike did they very put that Disney afternoon game collection on the switch?
I do feel this collection is lacking honestly.
I get the beat 'em up one not having dungeons and dragons Chronicles/shadows over mystara nor Cadillacs and dinosaurs by possible licensing issues, but not having Cannon Spike nor that hd remix of street fighter 2 turbo is just a sin.

Re: Random: Prince Harry Thinks Fortnite Should Be Banned

MrVariant

@Aozz101x lol because they didn't become parents intentionally not check for bad signs concerning children in a mate.
All the game or system needs is parental controls to limit access in a day.

Surprised Harry never heard of those; that's dangerously irresponsible too, but why we blame others for profit. I think of the woman who burned herself with coffee and sued McDonalds because it shouldn't be super-heated to such a degree.

Common sense is a superpower and aging without getting senile is immortality.

Re: Cuphead Won't Be Any Easier On Nintendo Switch

MrVariant

@Heavyarms55 lol wild guns reloaded is git guud will easy/normal/hard and even easy is damn near impossible. 4 lives or 2 normal? Multiplayer has no continues (you resume at beginning of level so it's not even real checkpoints in single player), there's also no saving. I'll avoid this too. That avgn game is similar lol easy sometimes means frustrating and rhe other stuff is impossible.

Struggled enough with xeodrifter and getting lost with annoying checkpoints and frustrating enemies.

At least I did see noticable improvement as I learned to dodge frames and use that lasso to stun bosses while the bomb goes off. Only got halfway through in wild guns reloaded but I loved the characters, especially Doris and Bullet as they changed gameplay a bit. But yeah git guud is a funny response sometimes. I would just say try on a sale if bored.

Re: Random: Lovely Couple Gets Wedding Photos Taken In Video Game Store

MrVariant

@Heavyarms55 it's fine. In simple terms I mean until debt do we part. If you're in an arrangement with a freeloader, he/she has to shoulder the blame if something goes bad from their actions/neglect. Salvaging only to risk losing half my stuff isn't an option. In short, imagine if Mario went after someone who didn't get kidnapped to keep things fresh.

Re: Talking Point: Could Nintendo Ditch Physical Media With A 'Switch Lite?'

MrVariant

@Nutella lol Nintendo wants that subscription money. I do feel digital is pretty much where things are nowadays unless you get a collector's edition. Surprised no mention of how big 3ds digital library was in the article. I liked carrying all my games there rather than a ton of cartridges even without homebrewing for the ds. They'll never rent nor set old games to $1, though I love owning the digital icons if it's worth it

Re: Random: Lovely Couple Gets Wedding Photos Taken In Video Game Store

MrVariant

@Heavyarms55 marriage is the ultimate game of tolerance. That's why stuff fizzles, plus as I learned to adopt fall girls so to speak, I find it hard to really treat 1 lady i love that much different from any other. And by fall girl, I mean if something bad happens she will take the fall rather than me pay to win and suffer before I get a real choice. I'll try to make amends of course but I learned from that fall guy video with Cris Carter/Warren Sapp.

I'm also being rewarded more than when i used to salvage a relationship at all costs and tank debts/damage. World is complicated and so should our relationships imo.

Re: Nintendo Reveals Average Salary, Age And More Of Its Employees In Japan

MrVariant

@impurekind beginning April 2020 for big business and a year later for small is not the past. At least be honest if you want to support your case with links. I'm not Japanese nor do I know the insides/narratives of company payscales/politics, but I can see it must be an issue if it's to be reformed in a year or 2. I do know that it doesn't pay to be Frank Grimes of the Simpsons and take that rage/envy of someone else's free passes for bumbling home with you.

I also don't know if the cost of living in Japan is as bad as the rent spikes in NYC with the $15 minimum wage basically eroding experienced people who previously made around that amount.

There's also the whole sexual harassment bias that assumes men are always guilty and doesn't protect anyone from lying women (US perspective for me btw).

Best is to get new info and accept lucky (or favored by cliques) workers get the best treatment over assume fair management and merits will always reward you.

Re: Game Freak Thanks Pokémon Fans For Continued Support Over The Past 23 Years

MrVariant

@NotTelevision yeah probably Pokemon red was one of the few games I 100% as a kid. Loved the spinoffs (Pokemon rangers guardian signs should help kids read) and this made me happy to see game freak thankful.

I also got an eevee in a Pokemon bath bomb. It was fun seeing the Eevee in the capsule come from the pokeball after it dissolved and made bathing fun. Also a fun way to invest in a relationship too.

Re: Bandai Namco Reveals Super Dragon Ball Heroes: World Mission Pre-Order Goodies

MrVariant

@LuciferOnReddit Dragon Ball NES was basically a card game too and there's an official db card game so this makes sense. Do love the heroes anime as it's so fast paced at 8 useful mins/episode, good animation without ridiculously bright flashes (damn you Broly), and the multiverse characters were interesting. Hope to see ssj4 xeno gogeta vs ssb gogeta in this game too.

Re: Talking Point: Is The Remake Of Zelda: Link’s Awakening Worth $60?

MrVariant

@Heavyarms55 I'll stick with blaster master zero and wild guns reloaded thank you. You act like remakes are uncommon, and this is somehow the mother of them all despite knowing nothing but graphics. If you got $60 to easily throw in the trash go for it. Meanwhile I'll play those games I said and dungeons and dragons Chronicles of mystara which I got for half that in total.

Re: Brand New Sega Dreamcast Controller Hits Kickstarter And Smashes Target

MrVariant

@kepsux but it wasn't both portable and connect to another system to help make play calling with privacy as your opponent couldn't look at your screen in football games to decide what you were doing. Though I get your point.

Didn't know there was a market for old console controllers. Felt I was better off with steam retro games honestly.
