zoomers are dumb and need quick tiktok like content because their attention span sucks I don't even think it's necessarily just that, really. Games come out at a much quicker pace, today, than they did when most of us were kids, and so today's generation is used to getting through games quickly and moving on to the next. Likewise, there ARE plenty of more strategic mobile games out there, so it's not just a "mobile is dumbing down society" thing, either. Hell, there are mobile games out there I'd love to play, but I don't, because I don't want to commit the time, since I primarily play mobile games during work in my down time, and so I want very quick pick up and play style games. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

| Topic | Gamers Are Becoming Less Interested in Games With Deep Strategy, Study Finds. |
| StealThisSheen 05/24/24 9:09:18 PM #15 | This is likely very true. Older gamers are getting tired/busy/whatever, and don't really have as much time for deeper games... Or, if they do, they commit to less of them, overall. And then younger games are the iPhone generation who grew up on mindless time killer games, so they mostly don't even get into them, to begin with.

| StealThisSheen 05/24/24 9:05:29 PM #17 | Not to defend Activision too much, but Call of Duty even kinda blatantly makes sure you know the difference between shooting bad guys and innocents. There's literally a mission in... Modern Warfare 2? 3? Where you play as an undercover agent trying to infiltrate a terrorist group, and the first mission is literally the terrorists shooting up an airport... And it flat out gives you the option to not actually shoot any of the random civilians, at all. It basically goes out of its way to make you feel guilty, if you do. And then you can even skip that mission all together, since they knew it was a touchy subject.
Say what you want about Activision, but they handle things fairly well, with Call of Duty. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

great idea picking your kid-friendly iconic laser sword weapon that can slice through anything and kill anyone in one swing, lop off limbs effortlessly, like the scene in the cantina, blood and all. and then Han shoots and kills Greedo like 5 minutes later. you know, for kids! To be fair, death happens all the time in kids movies. Whether a movie is "for kids" or not depends entirely on how graphic something is. Even dismemberment can and has happened in kids movies, as long as it's not especially bloody or gory. There should be no debate Star Wars was always meant for kids. The problem with his statement is that being for kids doesn't excuse overall poor writing. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |
| Topic | George Lucas defends the prequels, says Star Wars was always meant for kids |
| StealThisSheen 05/24/24 8:57:20 PM #20 | Also, not to defend George Lucas, but I think I get his point a bit more since, as somebody born in '87, the first Star Wars movie I actually saw was Episode 1. And, yes, it has politics and junk, but... The story was simple enough and I enjoyed the action so much that it made me want to see not just episode 2 and 3, but 4/5/6, as well.
As an adult, I now see how bad Episode 1 actually is. But as a kid, whose first Star Wars experience WAS Episode 1... It actually did make me buy into Star Wars as a whole. I didn't see the bad writing, as a kid. I just saw cool space scenes and lightsaber fights and pod racing which, at the time, seemed so fucking cool, and so on. And it made me watch everything else Star Wars. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

The movies weren't bad because they were geared towards kids lol, such a lame excuse I feel like both can be true. Star Wars is definitely aimed toward kids. But also, yeah, the movies weren't bad only because they were aimed at kids. EDIT: That said, since I saw Episode 1 as a kid... Yeah, I enjoyed the hell out of it. I glossed over the politics crap, since it was just background noise that basically told me "This is why they're fighting. Okay now here they are fighting" and I was like "Fuck yeah" at the action scenes. And even the politics crap was simple enough that I atleast sorta understood it, even if I didn't care about it. I think the main point is that Star Wars has never been deep. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

I use Valvoline and I've never been disappointed. Forgot to reset the maintenance light but that's just as much me as them. This. I honestly go to Valvoline for anything small-ish like that that I just don't really want to do myself. Hell, my old car used to have an issue with taillights burning out faster than they should due to an issue with the brackets, and it was a pain to replace them because Mitsubishis used to basically lock those things up like a bank vault. One day I bought some replacements for cheap at an auto part store, and when I was getting my oil done at Valvoline, I just asked them if they'd put the bulb in, and not only did they do it, they didn't even charge me for it, since I supplied the bulb. Even said I could come back just for that and it'd be free, as long as I had the bulb. And I took advantage of that several times. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

Pointing out how people are flat out wrong is being mad now?

The people arguing Vivian was meant to only be a femboy and not be trans are mostly just grasping at straws.

I watched that scene from the link posted earlier. There isn't any dialogue that matches the original screenshot in the Japanese version. I have only ever played the Japanese version (back on the GCN), but the character has always dressed as and behaved as though they are a girl, so I think the trans identity is a fine localization. The character is commonly considered an in Japan, but that's not official and I don't think that's a thing in American fandoms. I'm referring to the remake, specifically. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

The question of the topic is literally, "How do I get twitter.com to stop redirecting to x.com" You can't. The entire reason people on here complain, as you referenced, is because GameFAQs embeds links with twitter.com, but not x.com. Otherwise, you're stuck being redirected to X on mobile, if you actually go to the site in question. Basically, the entire point is people don't want to have to go to the site, and thus they want people to post the Twitter links that embed, so they don't have to. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR!

Maybe someone can correct me if I'm outdated on some of these things, but many of the restrictions seem to make trying to live your life after prison very very restrictive. Housing requirements for example. It's a level of post prison punishment that hinders a successful attempt at reintegration into the community. With all due respect, crimes that get you on the sex offender list aren't victimless crimes. If you commit said crimes, then, yes, you should expect to have atleast a bit of a more restrictive time to reintegrating into society. If the idea of "People know when you committed crimes that netted you on the sex offender list" harms your own quality of life, well... Don't commit those crimes. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |

The only way you get on the sex offender list is if you were rather deliberately exposing yourself for a lengthy amount of time, and the excuse of "I was just peeing" happened to be right there. Obvious judgment tends to be used in such instances, since there's clearly a difference between, say... A drunk person peeing on the side of a building, mostly out of sight, versus... Somebody with their junk out for all to see. Your average person, even drunk, doesn't just pee out in the open, they do so facing a wall/away from people. --- Seplito Nash, Smelling Like the Vault since 1996 Step FOUR! Get Paid! |
