Off Topic Discussion Megathread

It's nice being back after being banned from the forums for 2 weeks.

Banned for what? Your guess is as good as mine.

They should show you exactly what you were banned for, and even the post that got you the ban.

If you check your email it should tell you which comment and also the reason behind it.

Last time I got banned it was because of something like '' hate speech '' and what I had said was the tamest shit ever.
Someone had made an account just to start ranting about the last US president and the US election in a thread where it was completely off topic.
And I pointed it out that it was his first post and basically said how tiresome it is that hmm, am I allowed to say it?
People from that country keep bringing that countries politics into literally everything all the time ( especially during ongoing elections ).

Apparently that was '' hate speech ''.
That was my second ban, first one was when someone was actually being racist and I called them out on it but threw in a '' f is wrong with you '' and that one insult got me my first ban.
The racist comments weren't removed and they didn't seem to get banned tho.

Yeah, I got banned for hate speech for using the censored n-word and n-word with the a in a post tl;dr'd into "Hey if you're not black, do not use the n-word"

I got a two-week vacation once for posting a "die mad about it" meme in a troll thread. I regret nothing.

Got contacted by the store again, apparently I am not crazy it was actually an issue with their system and they've disabled ordering to pickup point until they can solve it.
They had no clue until after I contacted them.
Unlucky me, lucky someone else who won't have perhaps an even worse time because of it since it's now being resolved :P.

Tried out the demo for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes. They really have learned since the first Fire Emblem Warriors and Fire Emblem: Three Houses. Every class has its own playstyle, every student has their own unique ability, the protagonist is voiced and has actual personality, and the students are locked to their routes with some special units unlocking only in their route. Not to mention this game is appearing to do the butterfly effect properly, and the start of the game thus far, even to the Time Skip, does not change depending on route. You do the one for Golden Deer, it tells you in summary form what happened in the other two routes at the same time. Same if you do Black Eagles or Blue Lions. Sadly the demo is locked after the Time Skip (only allowing you to do the extra missions there but not the chapter quest), but I have to admit I'm impressed, they fixed all my complaints with the first FEW and managed to even throw enough curve balls and Author Saving Throws to make me love where the story is going. Some spoilers below because I have to gush.

I mean, you save Monica from Kronya, who then JOINS YOU IN BLACK EAGLES. You get to see Holst in Golden Deer run. The Slithers are exposed early so the story starts flowing quicker and easier. A shame this entire thing is a What If? scenario, since Shez was originally supposed to die in the first battle as that's what led to the normal Three Houses timeline.

LOL XD.

Don't worry guys, thanks to me all may live in a world free of embarrassment.

Wish these games would be released on PC too, there's quite a lot of Switch games I want to play but only really play on PC.

Edit: On another note, been watching Better Call Saul and I am on the last season.
Is it just me or is it actually better than Breaking Bad?
I did like Breaking Bad but I honestly didn't feel it was THAT good and I never liked Walt, I honestly felt like his acting came across as really forced and a bit cringe at times.
And I definitely don't think that was intended.
Jessie tho was great and his acting and development was incredible.

Saul is just a more compelling character imo than Walt tho and his acting feels more like a real person.
I like the other characters and storylines better too I didn't expect it at all I expected it to be kinda meh but I've really enjoyed it.
I went into it thinking it was gonna just be a total cash grab on Breaking Bad but it's legit good.

I'm starting to think my old Keurig machine may be on its last leg. Every time I try to brew coffee in it the darn thing makes the strangest of extended groans before giving me the wrong fill of coffee.

Like the machine will not give me a full mug when I press a full mug, but it'll give me an expresso's worth of coffee if I hit the teeny-weeny cup button. I've only had the thing for 5 years and my uncle brought it to us after he repaired it himself. It's probably only a matter of time until it decides to give up the ghost entirely.

Maybe it's time I went looking for a new one.

Question, are you using the cleaner on it? Residue can build up on the inside and can cause issues.
