I dunno, my 65 inch TV and 5.1 surround sound system, along with adjustable lighting, begs to differ. Just cus your system sucks doesn’t mean everyone’s does.

Way to miss the point. Name a place where a family of 4 can get 4 tickets to a current movie for $25. It’s not happening. They’re saying that for them, $25 is a fucking steal compared to the theatre experience just on price alone, BEFORE you even consider snacks and other people.

So you’re mad that check notes pirates will have it in good quality before you rent it? Then… Be a pirate? Or don’t worry about the pirates and just worry about yourself? I’m… not seeing your particular issue. Pirates will get it regardless so how does that factor in at all?

How is saying it’s not the same game mechanics “judging it by different standards”? That right there is the problem: this idea that everything modern is better. Not everything needs all the same features tacked on.

Open world while still needing to go through the temples in a certain order. Various gadgets were required to progress, but crafty players often got around this. Pokemon would also be called “open world”, but could you just walk up to the Elite 4 from the beginning? Nope, had to get them badges first.
There’s “open to exploration” open world and “here’s a giant map, go wild”(a la Fallout/Skyrim). I prefered a Zelda with more guidance. Even Wind Waker, arguably the most open world, still had a progression the game tried to keep you on.

To me, they would be perfect games if they weren’t Zelda. That is to say, they are great games, just not what I expect from a Zelda game. Something I’d expect from Bethesda moreso(style, not gameplay lmao).
I feel like Wind Waker was the right balance between freedom and linear story.

The purpose of the cap is to BE the lid. Otherwise it’s a bottle.

Unpopular opinion: open world ruined Zelda. I thought I’d love the concept. But actually give it to me? Ughhh… Spend forever doing side quests because you don’t know if the equipment will only be good now or if youll need it down the road… No real guidance so you can end up just meandering around…
I liked the more structured narrative. Don’t get me wrong it’s cool to play Link and just do whatever you want. But for a story game, a more defined linear path is more engaging imo.

“the choice is arbitrary”.
Except it’s not as many other have pointed out. You’re just confused and trying to spread your confusion to others. Yes, advanced math gets complex, that’s advanced math. Don’t drag trig into this when you’re just confused.
Also “I don’t use bottle caps or cars”? Seriously just buzz off with that. You don’t live anywhere where you’re not using the simple machine of a screw. I hope Archimedes is rolling clockwise in his grave right now.

Fair point. Car wheels are a bit of a bad example. Probably shouldn’t have included them, but I’ll at least argue that means that 50% of wheels are clockwise and 50% are counter, so it negates itself.
- Comment on reDUcTIon iS gAIn 1 month ago:
Tighten = on/activated. You use a cap buy putting it on to seal the container. You out a screw in to join the wood. You do the thing it’s meant to do in a clockwise fashion.
What’s the purpose of a cap? To keep things in. The purpose of the spout itself is to let them in.
Clockwise wins.
- Comment on reDUcTIon iS gAIn 1 month ago:
Ummm… Have you ever used a screw? Bottle cap? “Right tighty, lefty loosey”? A car wheel when going forward? Literally 99% of things tighten clockwise.
You’re the person people have to say “no, your other left” for, aren’t ya?

That’s a wiring issue. Bulbs burning out shockingly fast means something else is wrong. Had the same issue in a ceiling light until we replaced the wiring.
- Comment on Steam Is Run By Fewer Than 80 Staff, Lawsuit Docs Reveal 4 months ago:
Exactly. It’s hard to argue that Steam has a monopoly when the other launchers exist and suck. Steam, despite its flaws, is still the best storefront we have. Gabe is the person who taught us that piracy is largely a service problem, not a price problem. People will pay when the paid option is quality.
- Comment on Steam Is Run By Fewer Than 80 Staff, Lawsuit Docs Reveal 4 months ago:
A lot of companies have been trying to sue them and are trying to tarnish their name in any way possible because their case is already shaky at best. The whole “monopoly” thing despite competition existing and Valve only being on top because they’re the best feature wise stuff.
- Comment on Steam Is Run By Fewer Than 80 Staff, Lawsuit Docs Reveal 4 months ago:
That’s just a name we give to “a share of a well-known, profitable, and established company with a history of success”. I.e. “companies that experience constant and consistent growth”. That’s literally what OP is criticizing. They do the same things. Microsoft is a blue chip. You think they don’t have layoffs to appease shareholders? Google? Apple?

- Comment on Why do many search engines seem to ignore operators (e.g. exact phrases, term exclusions, OR, etc.)? Is there a good reason for having a dumb 1997-level search logic that I'm not seeing? 4 months ago:
Bro, this is just a load of shit. Google removed them by choice, not because of some tech need. Better search engines still use them to great effect.
You just posted a very long rambling justification for injecting ads and other shit into the results instead of giving you what you asked for.

Blame the raking of the leaves. No leaves in fall means no place for the eggs to be laid and no place for the larvae to grow. It’s another casualty to grass lawns. A “clean” nature is a place where nothing has room to thrive.

Exactly. I don’t agree with the article/hate of the movie, but it absolutely is the least liked of the original trilogy. This has been a long standing trope. The Guardian didn’t make anything up.
- Comment on [Serious] Why do so many people seem to hate veganism? 6 months ago:
Some people see “to reduce animal cruelty” as judgy because that’s just how nature is. The moral superiority comes from you acting like you’re somehow above everyone and everything else. It’s entirely in your wording and the implications that if you eat meat, you enjoy animal suffering vs seeing it as a natural outcome of nature.

In those experiments, the speaking portion of Joe has no clue what the other side is experiencing. Like they show it to him on the wrong side and say “can you see this?” “No”. Then they ask him to draw it, and to his amazement he does. It’s not just being unable to vocalize certain thoughts - they’re not even there to vocalize at all to that part of the brain. But the other half is happily chugging away with that info

Fyi, “chem trails”, or “cloud seeding”, as it’s actually called, is very much real. When you search by it’s real name, you’ll find programs going back to the 60s. California, for example.
MANY conspiracy theories are based on a shred of truth. UFOs are mostly classified craft(the Blackbird was one, once known as the UFO “Aurora”).
Flat Earth was just a group that liked to jokingly entertain crazy ideas for shits and giggles that got coopted by people who took the satire seriously.
We’d do ourselves a great service if we stopped seeing every issue in broad strokes and saw the nuance and context behind it. You’re no better with your rant broadly denouncing a wide array of topics.

You mean there’s not still a team of developers working full time to make sure you’re 8 year old hardware is still getting software/security parity? Color me shocked. Shocked I say! They should support your hardware for free forever! How dare they advance in such a way that it’s not possible for my 8 year old hardware to run the exact same as modern hardware that’s been updated and iterated hundreds of times since then.
