- Comment on Is the Ocarina of Time remake going to have Master Quest? 7 hours ago:
In terms of difficulty it goes:
Master Quest (N64)>Master Quest (3DS)>Original (N64)>Original (3DS)
Master Quest is mechanically more difficult with additions to some fights and changes to the items. The 3DS versions are easier than N64 primarily because they modernize the controls in a way that involves less fucking around with menus but also some quality of life improvements (namely the iron boots)
As to how much of the Original vs Master Quest will be in the new game? Hard to say. I would expect that the new game keeps the core dungeons and temples but within them expands the scope while also adding more mini games and probably a few new areas and side quests. Assuming it follows a normal Nintendo remake pattern

I like it but I have a lot of nostalgia attached to it. I imagine given the average demographic of this website you’d find it relatable, but the humor might be a little 2010s internet dated for current tastes

There is nothing crazy about this. Plenty of movies rerun the previous ones to hype up the new one and make more money. Avatar, Mission: Impossible, Dune, Mean Girls (which had actually been brought back to theaters multiple times) and Beetlejuice all did it too. It’s also in the same year they had a movie make 2 billion dollars, of course they want to continue the momentum. Finally, people want this, there’s a lot of hype for this

- Comment on Is the Switch 2 a waste of money? 2 months ago:
I have both an OLED Switch and a Switch 2. If you don’t have any other consoles then I’d say a Switch 2 is worth it. It’s getting a lot of games the Switch 1 couldn’t play and combined with the Switch 1 library there’s a lot of really great games. If you have a Switch already then I’d say it’s probably not worth it. Likewise if you have a PS4/5 I’d recommend playing games on that over getting a Switch 2. However having a portable “home” console is a really nice feature. Something to consider is unlike the past it looks like Switches will get more expensive in the short term rather than cheaper
In terms of games: DK Bonanza is a slightly worse Mario Odyssey, which is still a really good game! Kirby Air Ride is just ok. Mario Kart world is worse than 8 and Sonic Racing Crossworlds. Pokopia and Tamodachi are supposed to be excellent for people who like those games. Outside of that basically everything else is available on other systems
- Comment on Femality is stored in the nipples 2 months ago:
There was a protest in front of the Scottish supreme court when the UK had a ruling that declared trans women were men because of their “biological sex”. So a bunch of trans women stood with their tits out and arms painted red since apparently they’re men and that’s OK
Ironically almost all media coverage of the event censored their breasts

There are ads in game and a quest dedicated to the Mr Studd penis implant so it’d be canon too

Like most answers about the US, it depends on a lot, we’re a big place. As someone who is at the movies 3-4 times a month I’ll say the biggest factors that contribute are
- When you’re seeing the movie
- How new/popular the screening is
- What movie you’re seeing
- The chain you’re at
I typically go during the week after work and generally wait a bit to see new releases and I usually have a couple other people with me in the theater and they’re usually chill. If you go opening weekend to a new movie in a crowded theater then I’d say you can pretty reliably count on a few people making quietish comments and a few people checking their/phones a few times. I also find if you tell people to shut up or put their phones away they usually listen. I’ll also say if you’re going to see the new prestige A24 drama expect less interruptions than say The Super Mario Galaxy movie or The Minecraft Movie
- Comment on In a state that offers legal aid is it worth it? Or is it pretty much the bottom of the barrel for defense and compensation? 2 months ago:
Yes it’s worth it. Even the worst, most overworked public defender has spent years of their life in school, deals with a system you’ve likely never interacted with on a daily basis, and usually has some level of altruism. The reason you hear about people who win by representing themselves is because it’s very rare for them to not get trampled by the system
- Comment on Yum 3 months ago:
Yeah, you can’t check when they get it because they haven’t eaten, if you wait 20 minutes it’s too late. You’re at a restaurant presumably because you’re hungry so what are you mostly doing right when the food gets there? Eating. It’s just the nature of things
- Comment on Name one 3 months ago:
Terry in the show probably has some body dysmorphia/eating disorders. He’s been shown to have difficulty controlling his food intake with the nibs, the weird dieting with Gina and Amy and he’s also used the gym to avoid his problems. Plus he had some PTSD in the early seasons (I think from shooting an innocent person? I don’t remember exactly why) which is why he wasn’t in the field for the first few seasons. Also I think technically his rank is lieutenant so I’m not sure he’s technically a detective

- Comment on Couldn't ships just go elsewhere than the Strait of Hormuz? 4 months ago:
Airplanes are very time efficient but not very fuel efficient. A modern 737 cargo plane holds about 52,000 lbs of cargo. To transport 3 million barrels of oil by plane would take about 20,000 flights daily and there are only about 13,000 737s on the planet. So ignoring the astronomical cost it would take making the process impossible to profit from, you’d have to commandeer the world’s supply of planes to do so. Also I’m almost certain that the entire middle east couldn’t handle 20,000 fully loaded cargo flights every day. It’s simply too much for their airports to handle, even if humans stopped flying
- Comment on Couldn't ships just go elsewhere than the Strait of Hormuz? 4 months ago:
So the important thing to remember is the sheer quantity of oil that needs to be moved and where it needs to be moved to. The Strait of Hormuz in 2024 had 20 million barrels of oil passing through it daily. That’s 840,000,000 gallons or 3,160,000 cubic meters, or ~1300 Olympic swimming pools each day that need to be moved. It also mostly is going to end up getting moved across oceans to be delivered to the people who need it
Moving that much liquid by means other than boats is very difficult. Building pipelines that can move that much liquid is difficult and prone to problems. Especially considering the very harsh climate surrounding the area and even if you do have a pipeline it’s likely still going to end up in a ship because it has to cross an ocean anyway. Moving it by truck is almost logistically impossible, and trains have more problems than pipelines
In order to have the ships big enough to move that liquid you need ports that are deep enough AND already have the infrastructure to handle ships of that size, of which all are already in the Strait. It also made sense because a lot of oil producing countries were in this area so having lots of ships in the area built efficiency
So a whole bunch of confounding factors led to the Strait being the optimal place to move a lot of oil by ship (which the oil needed to go into anyway), however a natural choke point makes this a strategic position for countries in the area. Oil ships are slow, easy targets, and most countries could pretty cheaply take them out. Which adds to the tension in the region
This Wendover Productions video does a good job explaining why so much oil had to go through the Strait

I haven’t watched Phineas and Ferb but am generally familiar with the concept. There’s probably multiple narrative things happening here
- Writers are people too. Writing crazy over the top stories gets boring after a while. Sometimes you want to write something more grounded to practice nuance
- Lower stakes content is generally more relatable and relatable is a high priority in kids media
- Contrast makes stories more interesting. If you’re always dealing with world destroying calamities then eventually they become route
- When a show goes on long enough sometimes you try breaking the format as an experiment to see what the reaction is, maybe people like it better and you can pivot
- Subverting expectations is the basis of comedy. You’ve been led to believe that by their antics Phineas and Ferb would legitimately try to paint an entire continent, the fact that it’s just a regular painting subverts your expectation for a joke
Those are just my thoughts as someone who is relatively familiar with what TV and Movie writing is like

- Comment on Paging SpaceCowboy 5 months ago:
The Yautja have no concept of “loved ones”. It is specifically brought up that Dek’s older brother is a failure because he is protecting his weaker brother instead of culling him for the strength of the clan. You’re using human emotional logic to justify your opinions instead of following Predator logic. The vast majority of Yautja would be champing at the bit to fight to prove they can beat the warlord. I still contend these humans have been given an incredible honor in Yautja society
