Hot takes

Regardless of both, even if NV is closer to the original I think that the original (and 2 to a certain extent) had the best art style.

Big agree.
I haven't played 1 or 2 more than like an hour each, but I love the graphics.
Fallout in general is just plain ugly to me, and the grunginess comes off the best with these pre-rendered gnarly assets. Love the super hard blacks on the shadows on the minigun for example.

It's almost as if nuking stuff makes the world look all fucked up. Who knew?

we are reaching into the most unknown corners of pretentiousness discussing the art of post apocalypse scenarios. (I'm joking)

You gotta play 1 all up to the end, it is your destiny.

I'm not a big "games age" guy, but MAN has the convenience of modern input buffering (which I love) spoiled me for being able to enjoy many older action games as easily as way back when.

I've never been a masher, but going back to trying to attack methodically in many action games from the 5th and 6th console gens feels like I'm getting dementia with each button press.
Replayed Jak & Daxter a few weeks back and double-jumping in that game was pure torture, and I could fly around that game at light speed when I was a youngin. Same when trying to go back to Melee.

yeah, it is weird to go back to older games many years later. i tried playing brawl after about a decade of playing other games and smash ultimate and it was weird and sluggish. i never remembered it being like that.

Brawl is actually one of the games I remember loving how "fluid" the input buffering was (like being able to pick up items while running over them etc, but yeah the game in general was slow as hell). Brawl and Demon's Souls.
I'm sure there are some great character action games from that time that did this but I was never too huge into those kinds of games.

i had the most fun with brawl with playing with others using the brawl- mod. it was hilarious to pick ganondorf, broly shows up and one shots every one with max damage with the warlock punch and everyone starts freaking out.
i tried demon souls but i didn't like the mechanic of losing everything every time that you died. didn't get very far before going over to a different game.

While Linux has it's usefulness, people shouldn't be forced to move onto it everytime their other OS (no pun intended) has problems that Linux doesn't have.

Talented is an extremely overused word that is often used in the place of ‘skilled’, ‘practiced’ or other words. I believe the exorbitant use of the word turns some people away from pursuing skills, and it’s insulting to those who are proficient in them.

It pushes the narrative (even if subconsciously) that people that are good at things like music, illustration, writing, etc didn’t work that hard to be where they are, and to get on their level you need to be born into it.

Linux is good in many ways but it's not "the ultimate privacy friendly Operating Software" because there's no perfect system, not even MacOS/OSX is perfect.

Talent isn't inherent, just that some people learn things faster than others. In fact there's also an inherent issue about the way things are being taught to people (at school and outside of school).

Although I'd still agree that there are incapable people that cannot be good at anything because of various factors (genetic, environmental among others) and that the narrative that "everyone has a chance to be great if not the best" or that "if you persevere you'll end up making it" is just a bit naive if not giving false hopes to many. Not everyone is equal in front of a specific skill or knowledge.

My exact issue with talent, it insinuates skills are inherent.

It’s beneficial for anyone to take up an art. For individuals who suffer from physical disability I’d argue even more so, things like drawing can assist them with developing motor skills.

Although I do agree some skills, such as athletic ones, are dependent on those factors you mentioned. Not everything has to become professional though , it’s important to just have a hobby sometimes.

Yep, for animals natural selection is there to dispose of defects for the sake of evolution (as cold and cruel nature can be but at the same time it's for the good of the species).

Humans thankfully went past that but we can't ignore our animal roots and it's obvious that some people are more fit for a task (like leading) than others thanks to probabilities.

At least for art anyone can try and even make something good because it's a hobby without competition.

One example is that competitive video gaming is a small niche of the gamerbase.

Its good to be negative all the time, since being negative and being realistic are the same thing and its good to be realistic

Negative is not always realistic. That’s all imma say about this, just know I heavily disagree.

CAAAAP GODDAMN CAAAAP

You know when i brightened up a bit i became more handsome? That is when I started thinking more positively i noticed and people around me noted my facial changes , idk if it's just coincidence or mindset and being less stressed out effects human body like that but if i look at a picture of myself in 2022 or 23 and then i look at a picture from 24 or 25 there are some noticeable changes , 22/23 was where you are RN full of negativity and negative energy.

So no thinking negatively can make situations worse , there are no optimal one way solution or mindset to everything sometimes you need to be more positive other times less positive

If you're purposely pissing someone off and then act like you're not the problem, news flash: you are. There's something to be said for listening to what people tell you and how they're telling you, and acting accordingly. If you don't, don't act like a victim when you're cut off. There isn't enough time in life for that nonsense.

Indoor sofas are not outdoor furniture. Not only is it tacky, it's gross. They aren't meant to be kept outside and will just end up full of mold and bugs and deteriorate from the elements. Why do so many people around here toss their old sofa out on the porch? At least the community cats enjoy it.

Yeah! Sofas go out on the curb where you can take a nap and watch the traffic go by

No. This turns you into an empty, miserable wreck of a person. Don't ever take that pill.

All this nonsense about "I'm not prejudiced, but"
It's just an excuse to be a fucking homophobe without admitting who you are

In a debate and a trial this is a bit needed.

Starbucks isn't even coffee, is basically a cup of coffee with milkshake ingredients mixed in a cup


Correction: Starbucs isn't even coffee with milk at this point, its just a milkshake with a small dash of coffee

Starbucks isn't even coffee, is basically a cup of coffee with milkshake ingredients mixed in a cup.

I like coffee with milk, it's still a legitimate form of coffee.

On the other hand the price of Starbuck is nothing near the quality of said coffee, you're basically paying for the space you're spending time in when you write your essay or read a book.
