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.

People need to understand that therapy doesn't solve all their problems.

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.
