When you've been collecting Switch games for a while, you realize how hit and miss and unreliable manufacturing is for these things. I can't tell you how many times I've seen games shipped out from companies like this, with the cover sticking out of the plastic, usually leading to damage on the cover art's spine

Almost all of my physical PS5 game discs arrive popped off the spindle, and I've had several Switch games with the same cover issue.

I feel your pain. I got a reprinted version of the Spyro Trilogy for PS 4 recently since it has all three games on the disc. When it arrived, the disc was popped off the spindle. Luckily though, it didn't actually move from the disc hub. Had the package gotten shaken a little more in shipping though, the disc would have likely come off and been rattling around in the case.

At least Blu Rays have a coating but yeah, I get discs rattling in the case on arrival at least 50% of the time, probably more.
Does it ever annoy you when one single game becomes the reference point for an entire genre?
Like how every time a trailer comes out for a new beat 'em up on youtube you know the first 50 comments are gonna be some variation of, "It's Streets of Rage!"
As if Streets of Rage is literally the only series to have ever existed in the genre.

Getting back to my point about manufacturing nonsense with Switch games, I watched someone unseal and open one of those new San Diego Comic Con copies of Persona IV for the Switch (with the numbered foil covers). The game was in a PEGI case despite being an ESRB release. You can tell because when you open PEGI cases there is a horizontal, plastic tab sticking out of the case above the top of the instruction manual. This is unique to PEGI plastic cases made for Switch games. You won't see it on US or Asian releases.
For fuck's sake can people get anything right these days?

Yep. And the old "I'm gonna ride your ass even though you wanna go fast like me, but the car in front of you is going slow.....and you're not riding his ass....so fuck you."
I had a dude maybe a year ago, just two of us on the road 6am and I'm heading to work. I'm doing 9 over the limit in the left lane. This mfker comes flying up so fast like it was the Audubon, I didn't even have a chance to move over for him. So he angrily swerves in the right lane and immediately back into the left, where had I not tapped on the brakes....his bumper would've hit the front of my car. I laid on the fuckin horn and he starts flailing his arms about like I'm the asshole. God I hate people.

The left lane is for passing, not parking. If you were passing someone and you stayed in that lane after, then I can see why you would be the asshole.
Let people haul ass in the right lane, it isn't your job to traffic cop speed limits.
However, if you were in the left lane and speeding at whatever your car can do and a person decided to ride your ass and NOT pass you, then yes, that person is the asshole.
TLDR; Get out of the right lane if you have already passed the slow people in the left. Otherwise, you become the slow person in the passing lane.
Well gee golly there Ocifer Westernblood, I must've missed the part where I said it was.
I don't sit in the left lane unless I'm passing cars. But if you think I'm moving over for your impatient ass while I'm passing cars, just because I'm "not going fast enough" for your dumb ass, you can suck my balls. I misspoke earlier. I had been passing cars up until that point. Then once it was open road with no more cars in front of me, dipshit comes flying up and I didn't have a chance to move over. It was so fast, I refused to move over because I was afraid he was quickly going to swerve into the right lane and nail me. Which is exactly what would've happened had I moved over. It was a 65, I was doing 74. He was doing probably 90-95.
It's the the fast/passing lane, not the fucking Audubon. I couldn't give two shits if you wanna drive reckless, but when it affects me and almost causes an accident, yeah you can go fuck yourself.

Stay out of the left lane if you don't understand what the passing lane is for. Since you invoked the Autobahn twice, this is the one of the few times where I will praise the Germans for getting both how to drive and the strict requirements of getting a license in order to drive, to be the correct way of things.
Again, stay out of the left lane if you have completed passing whomever was in front of you in the right lane. Otherwise, stay being an asshole.

Hooked on Phonics didn't work for you, huh.
Since you need things spelled out for you, I will point out your situational awareness obviously sucks if you aren't paying attention to other drivers on the road to the point that faster cars are climbing your butt in the left lane because you thought you were the faster one.
Again, I point out the thing the Germans got right is the STRICT requirements for getting a driver's license and the rules that are followed by said drivers. If we adopted that system, then I suspect 70% of those behind the wheel of a car in the United States would NOT be allowed to drive at all.

You sure love assuming things. Admittedly, I left out details in the original post but I have since corrected it. If I just got done passing cars and dude is going 20-25mph faster up my ass in the left lane, I barely would've had time to move over and get out of his way unless I instantly floored it which I'm not gonna do just to appease some jackass behind me who can't wait a few seconds. He was going that fast. So instead, to avoid a collision which would've happened had I moved over (because as anticipated he moved over immediately to just blow past me), I decided fuck this guy I'm staying put. He then, in his butthurtedess because God forbid the entire roadway not yield to him, decides to maneuver back into my lane to stick it to me and would've rammed my car had I not hit the breaks.
So...you can try to justify that situation on his end all you want to win the debate here, but know that he is 100% the asshole and so are you for supporting him. Just sayin.
I go 9 over the speed limit every day because I know I can get away with it. Haven't been pulled over in 10+ years. I stick to the left lane normally as I am always passing people. I check my mirrors constantly. If someone is creeping up on me in the left lane obviously going faster, I move to the right when I can and back to the left when I need to start passing again. That's a far cry from the situation I described above because of some shitbag psycho who shouldn't even have a license. You're disregarding the most important detail that he would've crashed into me if I didn't have the SITUATIONAL AWARENESS and reaction to recognize he was 100% about to hit my ass.

You need to have patience. If you would have just stayed in the right lane until it was safe to pass, then you would not have had to spend all this time typing up why you are blocking the left lane of traffic.
Two wrongs don't make a right, you know.
I'm not sure where the disconnect here is.....
Allow me to give very specific details from the situation. From what I recall, there were 4 cars in the right lane at the time. I was going faster than them. I moved to the left lane and began passing all 4. As soon as I'm clearing the last guy, which I then would've moved over to the right lane again as it became open road with no cars ahead, I notice speed demon flying up my asshole 20-25 over. I'm maybe 20-30 feet up on the last car I passed. So it was stay there and make him brake to see what he's going to do, or chance it and try to quickly move to the right and take the risk he does the same and rams into me....which is what would've happened. I chose wisely. And that piece of shit can drive right off a cliff, kthx.
You have sufficiently raised my blood pressure 20 points in the past hour @WesternBlood . I shall require an extra adult beverage tonight because of you and not the inmates. Impressive.

I need more details, did this happen on a curved road with hilly dips and the like? Was the day overcast, rainy or visibility constrained to limited distances? Were you driving on an Oval Race Track where speeds in excess of 200 mph could occur making judgement calls in error regarding what is in your rear view mirror? Did you have a rear view mirror?
Look, I don't doubt there are assholes driving fast on the road, I've driven from San Diego to Los Angeles, arguably the fastest and most congested freeways on the planet at all times in during the day and night, so I understand what it is like to be honked at when I block the left lane of travel as well.
Don't get mad, reflect, decompress and consider that if you don't have the fastest car, then change lanes with care.

@WesternBlood @JohnnyFlawless
I feel like every region has its own car rules sort of. Like in Ontario people use the left lane to basically go 20 - 30 km (12 mph - 19mph) over the posted speed limit. I mean with our highways there is almost NEVER not somebody going slow in the right lane so the left passing lane has sort of become the defacto speeding lane. Generally when in Ontario you won't get pulled over going 20km (12 mph) over the posted limit.
Outside of the major urban areas like Toronto with less traffic, most people will use the left lane while speeding unless somebody comes roaring faster (say 40km over / 25 mph over) in which case you switch back to right lane to let them pass then move back to left. It gets more complicated though if lots of much slower people in the right but in general the unspoken rule here is if somebody is flying up the left lane then you have to move to the right.
My experience in some US states though is that people get pissed if you use the left lane as a defacto speed lane. Whereas in other states (and in Ontario) it's expected if driving over the limit most people will stay in the left lane UNLESS somebody driving even faster clearly wants to pass.
Not saying that's the situation for you guys but unspoken road rules are definitely different region to region.

Stay in your lane, Canuckian... I was shit posting towards @JohnnyFlawless. If he paid attention to my reply to the meme earlier in the thread he will see I identify with the meme as well.

Wha? What does car speed have to do with it lol?
Alright bruh you want wayyyyy to many details to not have concluded in my favor which makes me think you are that very asshole that acts like this dickbag
. Look I hate slow drivers in the left lane, but as long as you're at least passing people and move over, I'm fine with it. I do the same. But you got the dude doin 10 over raging at the guy doing 5 over, then you got the dude doing 15 over raging at the dude doing 10 over, and the equation goes on sadness x infinity because everyone is a selfish prick on the road and everyone else is wrong but them.
One of the worst possible things you can do and I might hate these people the most.... Are two cars parallel to each other going the same speed and cock blocking everyone behind. First of all, the logistics of it are mind blowing to me. Someone had to speed up and then start going the same speed as the other car once they got next to them. What the fuck how does that even happen?! Second, you don't sit on the sides of vehicles. Like ever. Move up or slow down. Don't fucking sit side by side. That is absolutely retarded and I don't recall if that was ever ingrained in drivers Ed....I'd like to think it was, but it sure is hell is one of the most common sense things to me. If not just to not be an asshole but in case you have to emergency switch lanes to avoid an accident. I know don't ever sit on the sides of tractor trailers was set into me by my dad. That's just a deathwish if you do that shit.
I also hate assholes who don't use their signal and those who turn to the outside lane. You're all pieces of shit and I hope you die a horrible horrible death. I had a dude one time, in a two lane turn, actually come from the outside turn lane and cut me off into the inner turn lane like my car didn't exist. I had several people in the car and was like... Okay I'm not insane, everyone else just saw that right....
I used to get road rage BAD when I was younger. I've since calmed down a lot and mostly just shake my head and call people retarded. I'm thankful. In 2024, it's a 50/50 shot you screaming at someone on the road gets you a 9mm pointed in your face. Not worth.
Tldr you're all a bunch of assholes and you suck at driving and I'm right
All your posts are troll shitposts you son of a bitch..... But I just couldn't help take the bait anyway. That is fair though, I paid no mind to the replies as it was 10 pages back and I was rifling through to catch up. Lesson learned. You have successfully wasted about two hours of my life. Troll success

Clicked on a youtube video about a game today, and promptly stopped watching it after the youtuber spent five minutes talking about the game's alternate costumes
Like seriously? Is this what gamers care about now? Playing dress up?
This is why we can't get REAL rewards in video games anymore, because of retards who jump for joy when a game gives them some stupid alternate costume after completing a difficult challenge. Yeah, that's what I wanted. Not a cool new weapon or powerful new ability...but a new t-shirt for my character. Yeah, that's what I REALLY wanted

Check the fantasy football thread. It happened right after I posted that. G
The fantasy gods are putting me in check.
Well I just threatened steam with seeking legal counsel. I'm sure this will go well. Some Russian fuck accessed my account back on sep 2. They had access almost two full weeks to my account. Never got flagged and somehow steam guard failed. How in 2024 does that not obviously get flagged.... I can't go out of country and use my card without my bank calling and saying hey this you bro?
I fucking hate chat rooms when I'm watching someone stream online. It's fucking distracting, and seeing the streamer constantly stop what he's doing to talk to them is annoying, and have you ever noticed that if it's someone streaming a video game 90% of the worthless comments have NOTHING to do with the game? Everybody is just in their own little self centered mind talking about whatever random thing THEY want to talk about.
I think those chat boxes are only useful for smaller communities/streamers with around 300 or less people. Once it gets more than that, you can't keep up with the messages anyway, so there isn't really a point to the chat box on stream.

It's like mainlining autism. That they created a problem for "super chat" to solve is a sick kind of genius though.
