Hot takes

[reiwamale]

I might be too low IQ but, although I quite like RetroArch, it constantly breaks in ways I can't seem to understand. Most recently I've been playing a lot of Panel de Pon, and although RA ostensibly uses a bsnes core, the audio is all scrambled, gameplay hiccups, etc. As others have pointed out, because the settings are shared across cores by default, it's really difficult to get in there and figure out what's breaking it without undoing my whole delicate, beautiful FBNeo setup. As such, I end up just running bsnes in isolation for this particular game... it's a work in progress, but without having any particular insight into the project, its halo of ill-intent is so pervasive that it seems to account for some of the more esoteric interface decisions. It's as if the politics (and by extension aesthetics) of RA lag years behind its technics.

No, OpenEmu is the better example for what I'm referring to.

OpenEmu has really great UI but sadly seems mostly abandoned, and has some real technical limitations. If only they could just rip out OpenEmu's frontend and slap it on RA... could it all be so simple

the whole thing is set up as a premium, console like experience. Rretroarch could be like that, and still include all the detailed settings and options OpenEmu doesn't have (mainly just graphical enhancements, since OpenEmu is committed to the authentic limits of real hardware.), but the developers are not concerned or skilled with good UX design.

It's precisely why I use RetroArch. I dont want a console-like experience. I want total user control, tweakability and proper documentation.

I think the Libretro guys are doing the smart thing. They filter the users who wouldnt give them proper feedback, so they can focus on development and relegate the endless support task to the frontends.

PC-98 is great if you like very specific genres of games like Visual Novels, JRPGS and really clunky action games, or clunky space shooters.

bought mine at 大黒屋 a while ago and only ever used them for Rance and Touhou lolol

I'm gonna say it guys i don't care if it gets me shot..... Sex is overrated really humanity been reproducing all these thousands of years and you just obsessing over the most natural and basic act ever like bro if you wanna obsess over something have it actually be complicated not something humanity been doing since day 1.

I completly forgot what its like actually..
Usually it get something with hazlenuts and chocolate or peanuts or pistachio or kinder..

All those things taste great, especially kinder; one of my favorites. Mint ice cream tastes like toothpaste. Although I still like mint on its own, especially mint tea.

Estathè sucks
Its not good enough to justify how many calories and sugar it has

Sounds like you've been having some pretty dull sex

Well, i'll try to get this thread in track

Fishticks are bland, tried one after not having one...ever, i followed the instructions, yet it tasted like dried watered paper, good thing i got ketchup, but it was the midest food i had

I think I drank something similar to that and yeah, that’s true.

 

[Lee__Kanker]

Similarly mountain dew is fine, but its 300 fucking calories
At this point drink beer

That's pretty based tbh. I'm not sex repulsed but it's really annoying to see it just crammed into every possible piece of media.

Oh you see, you want breaded fish fillets, not fish sticks. Fish sticks are mostly bread.

Not sure it's a "hot take" cause I'm sure many people agree with me, but I gonna say it anyway. Pineapple on pizza is a culinary crime.

I never have sodas on their own, only when I’m eating something savory.
I usually judge by taste. “Zero” drinks tend to taste great.

Kinda agree with this. Sex is nice and all, but a lot of people treat it like a massive life-goal or make life ruining decisions in the pursuit of it. I just never saw it as that big of a deal.

Everybody has their opinions and tastes, so i am not going to debate...

Take her to the Hawaiian pizza factory

Coke zero > Coke

Pepsi zero sucks though

Now THAT is a hot take.

Smart phones suck, cell phones were fine but now my phone can tell me everything from how many indians work in a specific call center in new delhi to what trump had for dinner last night, makes people dumber.

And the internet was much better before everyone had it in their pocket 24/7

It tastes more like Cola, I like sodas that taste medicinal. Also why Jarritos Cola > Coke

Pepsi zero idk what it is, its got this aggressive sweetness it kills the pepsi flavor

I dont really know if its a hot take but if you're a chick with no social media you're automatically 100 times hotter

I dont care for the nolan batman movies, I dont get why ppl like em

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

Yo guys dropped in to say Pepsi and coke sucks mountain dew better

Also isn't coca zero or Pepsi zero ones with no sugar? Yeah if you were doing a diet you won't be drinking coke or pepsi really....

Coke zero just tastes better I tell you! I drink it regardless, I go for regular when I wanna switch it up

Lemon sodas are eeeh

I dont like sprite at all, or fanta
They just make me wish I was drinking fresh fruit juice

Agreed on sprite and fanta they suck i still prefer mountain dew it's just GOATED man

 

[UnDubious]

I hate people who say having no social media is a "red flag". They're like drug addicts who think it's weird you won't do heroine. Of course if you say you have none and you do then it is suspect.

Hot take, in terms of long-term resource use vs short term and in terms of owning what you buy.

Optical media is superior to cloud storage, and is more environmentally friendly, as you do not need to waste electricity at the levels cloud storage (data center power) does. Especially related to the data mining involved in such cloud storage.

Connivance vs abuse and cost of ownership.

7-11 brand gummy bears + Fireball + Monster Energy go well together.
