Time for another romp on here...

How are y'all?

Nothing much. I'm good I suppose.

 

[RamOne]

And how's @Drive doing?

 

[Substitution]

And how's @Drive doing?

What about Sail? I haven't seen him in forever.

 

[aldelaro5]

Virtualisation ftw!

So, the thing you have to know is this VM wasn't made from scratch. I plugged it my physical hard drive partition that contains Windows stuff. The bountifulness of this thing is it has only access to Windows, not linux which is safe to run

YAY!!!!, no more rebooting

 

[_Magus_]

I typically get done replying to/checking all my alerts, and then I think "I wonder what's happening on the social thread right about now...Imma go say wassup." And there goes my evening

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

@Thor and @Nick Fury are going down

 

[Cobalsh]

What about Sail? I haven't seen him in forever.

Don't forget about @Casually Walking.

Everyone forgets @Casually Walking.

 

[Rocket Raccoon]

We can't forget @Shrek_is_love

 

[Substitution]

Don't forget about @Casually Walking.

Everyone forgets @Casually Walking.

We don't talk about him after his flame war with @Steer.

Lol, I like virtualizing operating systems too. I'd rather do that than use the dual boot function. I usually virtualize old operating systems such as Windows 95 and 3.1, but in some cases I do that with modern OS like Windows 10 and 8 / 8.1. Too bad Windows 7 ended its mainstream support but that means nothing.

Welcome to my life. I often am here still at 4AM, but you know what they say: 'You're here forever.'

the dual boot began to be seriously annoying as I just wanted to use a very simple program (it's for ripping 3ds stuff....only worked fine on Windows).

But the cool thing about vm is the features with the host. stuff like copy paste being bidirectional

And btw, this is the same copy I purchased when I got my pc so it's still legal

Part of me actually wants to watch the DK show just to see how bad it is.

Yeah, you would have to restart your PC every single time if you wanted to use a different OS. I've never done that but it looks like it's confusing to do. About the features, yeah, they're pretty cool. One of them is drag and drop files or applications between host and guest systems.

Why would someone have a pirated Windows 7 copy anyway?
Windows Genuine Advantage goes full blown super saiyan mode if that happens.

 

[Space Stranger]

I'm very sure they'll bring that back judging by how popular Awakening was.

no actually, dual booting was so easy on my linux.

I had an option upon installation "install linux mint alongside Windows 7".

Then you can set the partition space, but I used the default....except that since this was when I truly started to use linux, I began to love it so much that I reduced the space Windows takes and gave the rest to my linux.

So, Windows has now 125GB on a 500GB hard drive and I can enjoy the rest (minus some crap like recovery partition and swap stuff....I would never use the recovery partiition, but swap is usefull...).

Don't know whether to hype, or to start ranting about FE13's many flaws again. Either way I'm still skeptical given how they're keeping the same bland artist as FE13.

Party pooper
Really hope SMT x FE isn't dropped, I think it might make a surprise appearance at E3.

 

[Kikkipoptart12]

Don't know whether to hype, or to start ranting about FE13's many flaws again.

You can do both?

What is FE13 again....Awakening? I don't even know.

It's called being a fanboy.

Can I guess some?

• Bland/underdeveloped villains
• Pair Up/Galeforce breaking strategy
• Valm arc was unnecessary
• Story was weaker than previous entries
• Some lackluster supports
• Unbalanced 2nd Gen system that renders the 1st Gen usless by post game
• Chrom, Say'ri, and were more bland than stale bread

 

[CatRaccoonBL]

Say'ri,

I disagree, Say-ri was actually pretty cool and had an interesting plot point. Lucina is half and half (Though time travel is always Whhhhhhhy.) Chrom is yeah.

 

[Cobalsh]

.....well I'll be damned.

So I guess we know they aren't accurate now.

Feel free to rant and let go of the steam.

I'm not sure what to make of the game myself. The sad part is that even if it does turn out to be an improvement, the relentless fanbase from Awakening will bog it down.

I sometimes think Marvel is overrated. Meh. Good for them I guess..

 

[MunchyMunch]

Can Disney fully buy all of Marvel's properties please? The new Spiderman movies suck, even though they're the only thing maing Sony money.

I just looked up some of these things, and my personality doesn't match my favorite pokemon.
This would be more accurate.

[Saikyoshi]

Oh ****, they gave Boomerang a makeover to match Cartoon Network. It's just like when Nicktoons Network/Nick Jr. lost their identities to match Nickelodeon.

- Bland Main Characters, Hero and Villain
- Story sucks for countless reasons (Valm was unnecessary, but I'm more bummed about how they missed the chance to have character development given Alm (Walhart) and Marth (Chrom)).
- Doesn't know whether to appeal to newcomers/veterans
- The Avatar is poorly handled compared to FE12
- Graphics lack charm, characters could use more color...and feet (lol)
- Fan Service/Lots of stereotypical anime character types
- No online mode

I actually don't have an issue with the balance. Personally I think it's funny to see people who say the game's hard. I think it's more of the fact that you can grind EXP/Items that's the problem, but that's the trade off for more time with the game/having an expansive world.

Oh, I see. That's cool. In late 2013, I tested Linux Mint and it was alright to be honest. I'm just more used to Windows lol. I don't think it's bad, as there's lots of freedom you can have when using it. I haven't done much though.
