Commies gotta pump those numbers up if they want to come even close to capitalism’s death toll.

How often can your supposed rights be violated until they’re no longer rights and just words on a piece of paper?

To this day I think Luigi’s Mansion 3 might be the game I’ve finished that I enjoyed the least. I loved the first one (and liked the second one well enough, even though it was a bit watered down for the 3DS), just so we’re clear.
The simplified ghost catching mechanics made most of the game’s fights pretty boring, the Gooigi puzzles almost always boiled down to “I need the strength of two vacuums” or “I wish I could fit through this grate”. Also, the last boss was godawful.
Most egregiously, I think LM3 might be the most filler-stuffed game I’ve ever played. The number of times you get an elevator button only for the game to go “Haha, no” really started to piss me off. The second time fucking Poulterkitty showed up, I actually looked up a walkthrough to gauge whether I’d completed enough of the game to warrant finishing it - I wanted to stop right then and there. I think Nintendo took the criticism that LM1 was too short to heart. The thing is, without all the padding, LM3 would still have been a perfectly reasonable length.

I agree. I was never a fan of them removing the fantasy elements either - it made the game feel so much more generic than the first (though this might be hindsight since I first played Quake 2 many years after it came out).
- Comment on Drop your unpopular opinions here because c/unpopularopinions is filled with popular opinions 1 week ago:
There’s a sweet spot. Unpopular opinions that get upvoted need to be trivial enough to not make anybody uncomfortable or angry.
Something like “Toilet paper orientation doesn’t matter” is far more likely to be upvoted by somebody who disagrees with it than “Everything bad that happens to your children is your fault because you knew it was a possibility and had them anyway”.

Exactly.

The moral of every Hollywood Racism Movie^TM ends up boiling down to “We could eliminate racism if only every racist met a person of [RACE] that they actually liked.”

Practically everything people say about imaginary numbers you could also say about negative numbers.
Also… wrong about what?
- Comment on How no-techy/"common" people know if a Open Source code is secure? 2 weeks ago:
I guess the main thing is that it’s not just one person saying “I looked at the code and didn’t find any malware” - depending on the size of the project it could be millions of people saying that. Also, changes to programs generally have to be approved by the maintainer, so it can be pretty difficult to slip malicious changes in unnoticed.
The arrangement isn’t perfect, but keep in mind that closed-source software also requires trust on the part of the users - It’s just that in that case nobody can vet the code.

I mean, at least two billion people are Christian, so presumably they care. And that doesn’t even include the rest of us who get screwed over by Christian-conservative doublethink bullshit.
It absolutely matters.

Ignorance is not knowing things.
Stupidity is refusing to learn things.
- Comment on Nintendo says users voluntarily paid higher prices, have no right to tariff refunds | Nintendo says Switch buyers got what they paid for, urges court to dismiss lawsuit. 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I’m never giving Nintendo another cent.
I didn’t buy a Switch 2, but the people who did are Nintendo’s biggest fans, and Nintendo have just told them in no uncertain terms “Haha, get fucked, loser”.

I hope they had an adjudicator watching them go up there. Since they changed the recipe, you wouldn’t be able to tell just from watching them come out.
- Comment on If you need a portable reader, is there any reason to choose an e-reader over your phone? 5 weeks ago:
For me:
Better aspect ratio for large amounts of text. I just can’t imagine reading an entire novel on my phone.
No distractions. No notifications, no other apps I could be using instead.
Related to the previous point - e-readers are for reading. I’m much more likely to read a lot if I can compartmentalise “other stuff” to my phone. Not to mention other features like the ability to look up word meanings and change text size - all stuff in service of e-readers being “for reading”.
Page-turn buttons instead of a touch screen (depends on the e-reader).

I agree, but we can’t really expect every person to have the space to store all of their favourite media. Especially now that AI has ruined the price of hard drives.
Given modern internet speeds, the ability to delete and redownload games is actually a handy feature of digital. Though given Sony’s track record of deleting “purchased” media from customers’ accounts, I sure as shit wouldn’t trust them. Hell, I barely trust Steam.
