The unfortunate thing is I need to be singing along to it to be able to do it

[Neonivek]

Is there a term for a Parody that isn't really parodying anything... it is more structured like a parody?

Or is that Shallow Parody?

snark

if its subtle its tounge in check

There's a process used in Dell computers called Toaster.exe

What a silly name.

Also, my Nvidia Gforce or whatever refuses to work. I need to update my driver, but trying to use Nvidia's own damn service won't work.

[Shadowlord]

GeForce experience? Uninstall it and get the drivers from the website. :V

Or uninstall it and the drivers and reboot a couple times on win 10 or 8.1, because Windows will try to install the drivers itself, silently, if they disappear.

Some developers put cheats in their game.   Some of them hide them and make you trawl the internets for them(or in the old days give you reason to buy gamer rags), some of them include them in a 'debug' console allowing them to be more than just cheats.  Say like spawning a dozen dragons in whiterun, so you can say "Yes, yes I have been to the cloud district.  And I am spawning a dragon on your head to eat you."

Some make it fairly obvious with a "It's here if you need it, but you don't have to use it"  Which is ok as well.  If baby needs cheats on a game that never originally had them, they can have cheats.  I don't care, but I'm still gunna call it baby mode.

Why the hell would a game company include cheats, and then make them so amazingly accessible that you can turn them on and off by accident during normal gameplay?  Were they afraid that FF9 would be too hard for modern gamers and that they needed the "I win the fight" button to be able to turned on with a single button press?   

I just had a boss fight ruined by accidentally turning on god mode during the boss fight and then not knowing how to turn it off.  Even afterwards after I learned how to turn it off.  I still turned it on by accident again later down the line.  I turned it back off before unpausing the game and it still filled everyone's trance and atb gauges even if it didn't grant invulnerability.

Seriously to turn on god mode in FF9 PC?  Pause the game and then hit L1 then unpause.  All you need to do.  And again, even if you turn it off immediately after, everyone is still super buffed by trance and sets free turns.  Something that can be done accidentally by just putting down or picking up a controller after pausing a game.

Why did they mess up an otherwise amazing port with this 'feature'?  Everything else is great!

[Shadowlord]

Maybe it was a cheat for the dev team and testers which they forgot to remove before shipping, and... I have no explanation for why it wouldn't have been removed in a patch unless literally nobody complained our they weren't paid to make any patches.

[Putnam]

No, they included a cheatmode in FF7 and FF8 too. Not sure why it's so easy to accidentally use in this one, though.

God, Belgian cinema. Thought that they were taking the place of the French, what with Two Days, One Night. Saw The Brand New Testament. Not terrible, but unfunny, not really the black humour advertised, and kinda lazy. Also a bit of sneaky product placement in a scene that was meant to be emotionally charged, possibly. And, in true French style, the men all married women 5-15 years older than them.

Aaaaand, while watching a Dark Souls 3 LP, saw Aldritch, and he's pretty meh.

So a surprisingly disappointing set of experiences that should have been rather fine.

Arthouse films are basically the same everywhere, though. Being in a foreign language just makes them arthousier.

And really Belgium just exports good cabaret. Except that's sort of untranslatable. Also good music I guess? :v a lot of the music on our radio is from Belgian artists.

[NJW2000]

It wasn't really like most arthouse though. Just... overly saccharin, with no real message or particular thought.

It certainly showed belgian society in an interesting if unlikable way though.

I keep wondering how could DBZ be more interesting if it was made JoJo-like style. So instead of "my power level is bigger than your power level and that's the only thing that matters" there would be all sorts of weird abilities with creative usage and stuff.

For some reason, this idea has plagued me since yesterday. It is not going away. halp

One Piece

Also, Dragon Ball Super's been going in that direction since Super started on its own arc

One Piece doesn't have Vegeta shooting a literal garlic, that later splits into separate parts and explosively showers the area, cluster bomb style, with added garlic taste for extra chemical warfare kick, when he uses Garlic Gun. I'm pretty sure about that, at least.

[Putnam]

It has some damn similar stuff lol

[Sergarr]

Besides, the real "WTF" I've had is not just that, it's that it feels like this JoJo-style DBZ writes itself in my head. Like, I don't remember ever wanting to write that kind of fanfiction before, but now I apparently want to? IDK, it's weird.
