      Today I went to SPUF proper and got redirected to SCUD.  Does anyone know anything more about what is going on?

    All this talk of Smash makes me regret passing on the Switch bundle I saw on Black Friday (wasn't actually on sale, but included Mario Kart 8). I keep holding out but with all this talk I don't think I can.
  3. My last name is pronounced and almost spelled like an actual word. Of course, it is most commonly spelled incorrectly. Those that do spell it correctly tend to get a kick out of referring to me by it. Pretty much every teacher I've ever had made a point of always calling me "Mr. Frantik" which admittedly isn't horrible. All because my immigrating Eastern European ancestors figured their name, which has since been lost to time, was too hard for America. Not sure why they settled like they did, but, thanks immigration?
  4. This site is almost as annoying to read as the reply box of SPUFooky skin. Periwinkle on gray-speckled darker gray?

    I've always held Telltale in moderate regard because, while they did get to show off the BTTF franchise in a video game, they did it in such a lackluster and forgettable way that it was... well, lackluster and forgettable. Definitely not bad enough to wish any sort of ill on the company, just ultimately bland. Been meaning to play Tales from the Borderlands and Guardians, just haven't gotten around to it. Guess maybe I should.
  7. How receptive is New Minecraft to modding? I would assume that could be done that way, but I'm not actually sure and wouldn't know where to start.

    Managed to trade a bunch of games from my forgotten renewing Humble Bundle that I'd never play for Factorio. I don't remember when, though. Time has sort of melded into itself.
  9. I always forget about auto-renewal on subscriptions.

    As I've gotten older I've realized how little I like hard-for-the-sake-of-hard games. I mean, I never really liked stuff like Super Meat Boy, but in general I would push myself into playing the hardest modes because I figured people would think I wasn't trying hard enough. But there came a point where I just said "wait, I'm playing this game to have dumb escapist fun. Why am I frustrating myself over and over just to say I did it?" and I let myself play average-level difficulty. I understand the fun derived from challenge, don't get me wrong, but there are times where I just want to be a god amongst men. Also, in games like Civilization, the computer always cheats and that's not actual challenge. I still play smash handicapped with all 9s bots though.

    Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: New Character Speculation and Hype Thread

    I still want Phoenix Wright, with palette swaps for the other attorneys/prosecutors. Alternately, make an echo for Edgeworth (or Apollo, I guess). Dream team would be Phoenix Wright/Maya (probably similar to the way Robin's final smash worked, with a cut-in), with appropriate color swaps for other combos. If we take the standard 7 swaps in Smash: Edgeworth/Faraday, Gumshoe (or Von Karma)/Franziska, Apollo/Trucy, Godot/Mia, Klavier/Ema, Blackquill/Athena, and Sahdmadhi/Rayfa (if you want to pull the latest game in). In my mind it makes sense - Ace Attorney has almost exclusively been on Nintendo handhelds and Capcom's already on board. Sure, Wright's not really a fighter, but it's not unprecedented, and he's been in a fighting game before. Honorable mention would be to Layton.

    What song are you listening to RIGHT now?

    Been playing a lot of NHL 18 Franchise so I've been listening to a lot of menu music. A lot of menu music, actually. I haven't found a single song I dislike in the entire game but this is definitely my favorite.

    Oh man, even more pumped for Smash now. They need more baddies, and K Rool's been long overdue. You know who I'd really like to see next? Wart. They'll never do it, of course. waluigi when

    My steam hasn't updated yet and it's bugging me to update it. I think I'm gonna hold off based on what I'm seeing here. Finally got around to finishing ME Andromeda. The ending was surprisingly intense, if a little... grandiose. But, if ME3 had ended similarly, with a similar boss fight, it'd have been amazing. Final verdict? MEA was okay. Honestly, the main problem I had with MEA was that when I played, it made me want to play a better Mass Effect game. The combat was solid (if easy), the story was... well, it had a story, and I quite like exploration sims so I didn't mind that aspect. I just didn't connect with the game as a whole as well as I did with the other 3 (2 especially, though 1 gets credit for the lore and worldbuilding). Also, no quarian waifu so 0/10 into the bin it goes. My current favorite theory about the game, though, is that its over-the-top-ness and same-but-different feel makes it seem like Mass Effect Andromeda isn't a canonical continuation of the series as an offshoot but instead an in-universe fiction, presented in form of video game or tv series or whatnot. It doesn't perfectly fit, especially with certain references, but it does present a more believable approach than the current "this is what happens to the universe 600 years later."
  16. This whole thread is wild. At least, uh, they were honest about their ignorance? That's pretty much all I got.

    The only way that non-clientside servers work are for F2P games, and only just barely get a passl. Having no ability to host your own server in a paid game is asinine.
  18. I really miss the flash sales on the Summer Sale.

      Refunds are for people who don't do adequate research, so yeah, I'd prefer the flash sales.

      Why can't we have both?

       

      You can't get a refund on a TV if you buy it before it goes on sale.

    I have always though this word meant "unhappy" or "displeased" because the sounds it has tend toward negative. I only found out a few years ago it means exactly the opposite. I want to be excited about Fallout Shelter 99 but the online aspect is reeeeeeeally tempering any excitement.
  22. Time to start up an old project which I never managed to finish. Again. Again. Again.

    Chess is like the Monopoly of strategy games. It's a terrible game, but everyone plays it anyway because it's been around forever.

    I was originally optimistic about Fallout 76 because I'm a sucker for Fallout, but the rumor that they're sticking with the same engine has put a big damper on that. Also, if it's multiplayer, RIP mods (and hello Content Club)
