  • Back in high school, my PE teachers liked to describe students' fitness levels with words. I was always "clinically dead", from memory.

    It was always in jest, never serious; that's why that memory's stuck with me even years later. They were cool dudes.

    Why the HELL is Twelve Minutes priced at AU$36? It's 720 seconds on repeat, with near-Moon Logic puzzles. Should be $20, I'd say.

    After reading on AO3 for a while, FF.net just doesn't look as good, harming the reading experience. Looks more cramped to me.

    @AncientBoi Such as? Chrono (and yes, I add the 'h' every time because it bugs me otherwise) has good weapons, as does Frog. Robo I could complain about due to how gimmicky his final two Arms are (damage based on last HP digit, or doing 9999 on crit but fuck-all otherwise). Magus has good scythes too.

    And as Akira pointed out, Master's Crown is an awesome male-only headgear.

    It does annoy me that I need to use Ayla (who has no magical aptitude whatsoever, and thus isn't good at high-Def enemies) to steal items, but otherwise I have no Tech-related complaints either. Just body armour.

    If something is "20,000 mAh", why not shorten it to "20 Ah"? Why include the ,000 and m, when they're redundant together?

    That too probably haha, but I think it's more akin to whether the majority understand the measurement. There's 1TB/2TB as advertised, not 1024GB or such, cause people already understand how much a TB is.

    ...So it makes sense because people don't make sense - like how $149.99 is seen as better than $150 despite only 1c difference, due to the first number being longer.
    Gotcha; thanks!

    That's called psychological pricing, and it's not actually cause it's longer, but due to the bigger units being lower to give the impression it's cheaper. Like $999 gives an immediate impression that it still only costs in the hundreds as opposed to a thousand. :)

    Why are BTD6 tower upgrade prices so ludicrously expensive? Wasn't an issue in BTD5, and could be easily fixed, but NK haven't yet.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    BTD5 also had the Village's passive effect reducing the price of towers placed or upgraded (ALL upgrades) within its radius, which was changed in BTD6 to increasing range (which used to be an upgrade in 5) and making such price reductions only available to...
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    ...primary Monkeys or just rank 1 and 2 upgrades - when those are the cheapest and don't need reducing as much as 3, 4 or 5 upgrades. Just plain idiotic, that alteration - oh, and no "Double Village Range" bonus effect in BTD6 either, despite it being in BTD5. Pathetic.
    Huh, this lockdown is making everyone in my house laze about in bed until after midday. Not...great, honestly.

    I'm also growing out a long-ass beard, because no-one's gonna see me (and because the barber I like is closed for the foreseeable future). Starting to look like a hobo, though, so also not fantastic - my own electric razor has been on the fritz for a while now.
    Does anyone remember Deltarune? No? Me neither; Ep 1 came out in 2018 and pretty much nothing since. Unfortunate; Undertale was decent.

    To be fair to Toby Fox, he never would've thought Undertale would become such a massive - and massively controversial - game; he even admitted to initially being terrified of that, even asking big-name LPers to not cover his game.
    As a result, he'd likely be wary of that unexpected success happening again. Still doesn't excuse him for not being as open with Ep updates as he could be, though.
    I love Ratchet & Clank 2, 3 and Gladiator...never did manage to finish 1 due to its severe lack of health. So glad 2 fixed this major flaw.

    Back when R&C PS4 hadn't been released, I was hoping that would give the original the port-backs it desperately needed - modern nanotech system, the same weapons except now with upgrades, modern controls. But no, they screwed it up, and I don't see them trying again soon.

    As for my fave game out of those three, it's a toss-up between 3 and Gladiator; the latter has much deeper weapon customisation, and Dual Pistols, but 3 has a far larger arsenal and planet exploration...Gladiator's mission-based structure was a nice one-time change, though.

    I have the game on my PSP [size matters], but I'm still trying to figure out how to play it.
    I miss Dashboard on Mac OS X; I used it a hell of a lot, unlike Launchpad. Calculators, conversions, stickies...it was THE BEST.
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    Sure, there are separate Calculator and Stickies apps, but since they're regular apps they clutter the screen and don't magically appear and disappear if I hover over a corner of my screen - and the Stickies app in particular is visually ugly too, not even looking like a sticky note.
    Apple should've killed off Launchpad, since the Applications folder and Cmd+Space searching exist, and kept Dashboard.
    Aussie GST is better than US's, since ours is bundled into the purchase price instead of applied afterwards. Price transparency rules!
    RichardTheKing
    RichardTheKing
    If something costs $15.99 here, there's no need to calculate anything on top of that since GST is already included. If something costs $16 in US, tax still needs to be calculated and added, meaning the listed price is incomplete and misleading.
    AU > US.
