Random Thoughts From Out of Nowhere

[Haywire]

My son and I can watch them, but my wife can't. The earlier Supercar and Fireball XL5 are borderline uncanny-weird, which is a shame, because Fireball has some good stories. New Captain Scarlet is quite good, and is CGI animated without trying to look like the marionettes, last I checked it could be watched on Tubi and select episodes on YouTube, at least.

As long lying down doesn't trigger a trap or a magic card, your ok!

Plays hand destruction magic card!!

Well, I just finished building the latest two Lego Sonic kits I got, just done with the Super Shadow vs the BioLizard, a fairly desent build, earlier on finished off the Cyclone Vs Metal Sonic AKA Tails v Metal Sonic, overall, they are desent builds, the legs on both models are just the mirror of one another, I do like Tails's face, he looks like he means business compared to the previous ones! Metal Sonic, he looks pretty good, the head isn't just a repaint of the Sonic head but a new mold completely as there is a hole in the back of his head, so you can make him look like he flying and looking a head at the same time using the flame effects that come with the kit and not shown upon the box or the instructions pictures!

Note: I played the Yugioh TCG w/ TMM a little bit way back when but don't recall it much. Mostly familiar with some of the anime and the abridged series.

Marvel makes Warhammer comics. Disney owns Marvel. Therefore, Slaanesh is a Disney princess.

Yesterday (Feb 14th) my co worker solved a year long mystery, he got given a Vday card, left upon our staff room table but it was a mystery who gave him the card and the one who did it, denied they given him the card, then this year, she did it again but one difference, she put it in the main office and after he saw the card, he looked at the CCTV footage and found out who was the one who left the card for him, thou she tired to deny it but in the end, she admited it, thou she only done it for a laugh and she not truly serious about him, YET but you never know as the other male supervisor, he dating one of the other girls from the same department!

So just a general question. Tomb Raider IV is specifically why I'm bringing it up, but it could be asked of any game...

So you just accidentally solved a puzzle that you've been working for hours on. You do this by: doing something you've already tried dozens of times before to no avail, a solution you'd already dismissed because "no way in hell is that the solution" or you simply idly stumbled onto it by complete and total accident because there was no way that anyone with any logical thinking brain would even think in that direction. Heck, the game wasn't giving you any indication about that it nothing indicated that that was even possible. It wasn't even a thought in your mind.

Mind here's the question. How do you react.

A: Giant breath of relief because after hours of banging your head against the wall, you can finally put this whole thing behind you.

B: Bemused looked of anger combined with either a middle finger to the game and/or a lot of swearing.

Gotta admit, more often than not, its B for me.

Mostly A, until I replay the game later and piss myself off a second time because I know I solved this damn puzzle before but how the goddamn hell did I do that.

A number of Zelda dungeons come to mind, most explicitly the Great Bay Temple from Majora's Mask.

Sometimes I solve the puzzles for TMM

 

[The Mighty Mollusk]

And sometimes I solve puzzles for you too, dear.

Action or platforming parts aren't puzzles.

 

[unluckiness]

I don’t have time for dumb puzzles so if i don’t get it in 5 or so tries I get a guide. My time’s not worth somedeveloper’s attempt to pad their gametime out.

Also screw RE Code Veronica.

Hey, sometimes you just need to unwind.

DON'T I LOOK RELAXED TO YOU!!!!!!!

It is the year of Our Lord 2025, more than a decade after DBZ: Battle of Gods and people still call Beerus "Bills".

 

[MEDdMI]

I'm more willing to sink time into a puzzle since I can think about it, vs a git-good type game where you die if you miss the timing on a button by half a second.

 

[unluckiness]

Eh, puzzles are really only good once. Something like DMC5 is forever entertaining.

 

[Caldwin]

I dunno. Maybe if it's been a while since you've played.
