    Next Spider-Man game: control both Miles and Peter? Venom, Goblin, and Lizard as villains? Just finished SM:MM on PS4, and am excited!

    I haven't said a single spoiler, though - except for maybe that Screwball and Taskmaster existed in PP, but not in MM, and Petey's hologram challenges are literally unlocked very soon after starting the game.

    Yeah sure, just that I usually want to know as little as possible about the game like Venom being there which I didn't know, it probably is common knowledge but I consider even details like that a spoiler. Not saying it's your fault at all though, it's just my weird preference. :)

    Getting punched in the face > eating ice cream. Now imagine you actually saw someone say that - you would know they were too far gone to be worth the effort.

    I venture to guess even lactose intolerant people would rather have a bit of the runs than be punched in the face. Perhaps I am wrong tho :P

    Is the plural of "consensus" "consensi"? Like "octopi"?

    @BORTZ That's even lamer! I'd much rather go with "consensoos" (pronunciation) than that monstrosity!

    apparatus is 4th declension also IIRC, and so also spelled the same way for singular and plural. Now if you wanna talk real shit let's get into the Greek dual :^)

    ProctorU is an asshole extension - logically I get why it's so invasive, but WHY SO INVASIVE

    Got a multiple-choice exam on the 11th, closed-book and ProctorU-required. I just feel dirty having that shit installed, since it's a massive security hole - Dashlane tells me a whopping EIGHT logins were compromised last year because of that stupid extension!

    Fun fact: I used to watch The Save-Ums as a kid, since transforming machines are cool. Cause of my Thunderbirds love? Maybe.

    Though not sure why it sprinkled in some Spanish words...was that just a norm for kids show at the time? Dora the bloody Explorer did it too.
    Wasn't too annoying for me, since my Mum speaks Spanish.

    In my opinion, Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and XC: Definitive Edition are by far THE most beautiful Switch games. Nothing comes close to them.
    RichardTheKing

    BotW has a truly hideous art style that just fails to copy The Wind Waker's cel-shaded charm, and thus falls far behind Xenoblade. Luigi's Mansion 3 is quite attractive, but it doesn't provide huge sweeping vistas. Link's Awakening is also very pretty, but in a simpler, toy-like way. Pokemon...don't make me vomit, please. Pikmin 3 is, well, basically a Wii U port, and thus doesn't exactly count.

    Honestly I think Octopath is the standout for me. The Xeno games look fine, but you can see they're clearly held back by being on the Switch. Octopath doesn't really feel like that. It's just a fresh take on JRPG designs.

    Octopath, huh...it tries to mesh flat sprites with lavish backgrounds, and the result doesn't exactly work for me. Xenoblade just works; there's no clashing design philosophies there, artistically.

    In my opinion, English NEEDS a singular form of "they"/"them"; since those can also refer to a group, it gets confusing in text.

    "My friend Sam had to get their car fixed. I hope they can pay for it."
    The thing is, it IS already singular.It may not seem like it because the pronouns are mostly used for groups in a lot of media, but still Even if you see someone and don't know what their gender is, you would subconsciously refer to them as they. e.g. "Wow, they have such a cool car."

    It's Latin that needs a singular they, not English.

    Hm I don't think it ever got DMCA'd, but if you haven't played it you have to - it's BRAWL at its very best

    It did get DMCA'd, which is why development ceased at 3.6; but many mods based upon it have been made, the community even patched out 3.6's memory leaks just a couple years ago. Project + is considered to be the truest successor to Project M.

    Hilarious...and, for sure, problematic. Accidentally sending one of those to your boss or when submitting a resume, angering the recipient AND permanently, silently, muting the email chain? Yeah, makes sense why it wasn't kept.
    Still sounds bloody hilarious, though.

    I hate my 3-hour uni tutorial (1-4pm Mondays)...it's so BORING. It's practically a lecture, since there's no student participation.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    Kill me now, before the brain death this bloody tutorial causes gets me. It's for a Python/Mininet subject - and, like most of my university subjects thus far, it doesn't give out solutions for incorrect quiz questions or weekly Lab exercises. How are you supposed to learn?
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    And, since this tutorial is the *entirety* of the uni's classes for this subject, and it combines both pre-grad and post-grad students into one (despite the two having different subject IDs), it bloody well skipped Lab 7 (whatever that was meant to be) and gives us two Labs to do this week. Ugh.
    Please murder me.

    Is it just me, or is Espeon one of the best Eeveelutions? Decently-wide movepool, high relevant stats, good Hidden Ability.

    Flareon needs Speed and an actual physical movepool, both of which it lacks. Lastly, Umbreon - why no Magic Guard? All about stall, but that's slow and he just loses any momentum gained; what's he supposed to do against a Poison-type or Steel-type special attacker? Toxic's worthless, and Foul Play does minimal damage. All he can do is Roar 'em out; yay. Sigh...so many Eeveelutions need urgent buffs.

    I do share those opinions - and overall movepool coverage for all Pokémon has decreased since Sword/Shield removed Hidden Power and Signal Beam, for some stupid reason.
    Flareon desperately needs something like Rock Slide, Stone Edge, Wild Charge, Crunch, or something, since right now he's limited to Flare Blitz (recoil), Superpower (lowers Atk and Def after use), and Facade (only powerful if statused).

    Sylveon needs a Ground-type move (Earth Power?) for near-perfect coverage, and Glaceon would like it too, along with Power Gem (ice is sparkly, and Power Gem is an attack that uses sparkly rays of light; why not?). As you said, Energy Ball would be a sweet choice for the five special attackers here, but sadly they don't get it. Imagine if Espeon could get Aura Sphere...that'd be awesome.
