Hot takes

Indycar and Nascar is better than Forumal 1.

I don't get the appeal of romantic relationships anymore tbh. Why would you want someone constantly bothering you and demanding your attention at all times?
I don't think I'm asexual or anything since I'm still attracted to the female form but since i became an adult i have lost any interest in relationships with girls that go beyond friendship or sex.

My issue is that most relationships nowadays are either just for a short fling or from desperate people getting together before realising they barely know each others...

Also with how "open relationships", polyamory among other type of couple where you don't stay with only one partner it's seen as antiquated to only want to be with the one you marry (although some are being married because of some social pressure from parents or for administrative interests).

Also I feel that many don't want to engage in something further than just having someone to sleep with (or just being "friends with benefit") but I don't think it's good on the long run.

Self introspection can make you feel worse

Being asked to have self introspections from people is a bit annoying.

When making an antropomorphic car character, always make sure their eyes are in the windshield and not on the headlights

gen 1 is the worst Pokémon gen

 

[hazys]

In terms of gameplay, sure. In terms of Pokémon designs, I dunno... Gens 8 and 9 are worse imo

Gameplay-wise ofc

gen 1 is the worst Pokémon gen

It's important to note that good visual design goes a long way. Gen 1 had some of the most iconic designs to the point that a lot of later ones felt like copies by comparison. And people are going to remain loyal to the more likeable designs from more orginal games if the gameplay stagnates with later ones (as the common complaint goes).

It kind of reminds me of how the player base for Cube 2: Sauerbraten never really got that big despite the game being a totally free CS/Unreal Tourny clone. Sure, it was a fun game, but it was just downright ugly, and the devs never made any effort to make likeable characters, leaving players with 4 ugly generic ones to choose from.

Superstar Saga sucks

Superstar Saga sucks

Yeah i agree, the REMAKE of superstar saga for the switch sucks and is not nearly as good as the original beloved masterpiece for the GBA.

The Tales of... gameplay is one of the worst ever.

Don't you mean the 3ds remake? And I mean the original

 

[Pandaprewmaster325]

They have been influenced by modern tastes, compare old japanese animation with the new ones that come nowadays.

Yes they seem to want to appeal where the money is and that's the west and western audiences.

Yeah, the 3ds remake, and about the original, what happened? i mean i know bowser inside story(OG for the DS) is the best one but still, what didn´t you like about Superstar Saga?

I mean it worked but the cost was great to say the least, man i will miss the old artstyle in both japanese games and animation, manga maybe not be so affected by this because every artists has his stuff going own and still, some mangas coming out today are so similar with each other that you can barely tell the difference (yeah i know i became a boomer but my point stands).

I just feel it's more outdated compared to its successors

I mean that happens, games get old but do they become obsolete? look let me give you an example:
I wanna play RE1, i could go for the Remake, which is absolutely good, but i want to remember the good times, yeah it has tank controls but did that stop me with OG RE4 or Dino Crisis?, hell nah, i play OG RE1 in my PC thanks to the Rebirth games or that new PC port on GOG, yeah it´s old and archaic by this point but has it ceased to be fun?, no, of course not, Doom, Half Life 1, Heretic 2, Runescape, Anachronox are games that have become as old as my grandpa, but i still enjoy them, being 24 years old and everything, and i still have to play more on my to do list of old games.

It's fine to pirate indie games too

OG Xbox wasn't that hot by itself, only some Legacy Exclusives, Halo and Ninja Gaiden kept it from being overshadowerd by the PS2 or even the GCN

A lot of Sega franchises moving there also gave it a cool edge tye competition mostly lacked, I guess.

 

[NatalieZaki]

I think RetroArch has it's place and is very useful for just being the centre of your emulation, but I've always disliked how it's annoying it is to change settings per emulator, and I've always preferred using standalone emulators to be able to tweak everything to my liking. But that's just me, I wanna hear your opinions about how I'm wrong and stupid

Those, personally i only have Panzer Dragoon Orta and Jet Set Radio in my Xemu (Halo is in PC so i don't have to worry)

In my mind, 360 is where Microsoft got revved with their Shump ports and even better exclusives

 

[NatalieZaki]

I did not love Hollow Knight. I think as a Metroidvania, it falters in its level design, and I find it more frustrating to navigate the world more than any other Metroidvania.

I agree. It has strong visuals but navigation and moment to moment gameplay are weak.

 

[Strategist Strategist]

I don't think it is that hot of a take. I find I have better luck with Saturn and PS2 emulation with other sources. Mednafen and PCSX2

 

[Evaccaneer Doom]

Incredibly cold take, plenty of people hate Retroarch and tend to use it when they have no choice as it emulates console blind spots like arcades and PC-98

Sloppy Joes suck. I don't know why people like Sloppy Joes.
