"Couldn't be bothered"

Ah yes, let me just get a diving cert, boating cert, several thousands of dollars of gear and go and look for something in an environment even experienced divers can have issue with.

Nobody's saying it would be a simple matter, but if someone dies with something of yours in an area that is so unobtainable to you that you end up writing it off, what gives you the right to complain when someone else for whom it isn't as unobtainable goes and obtains it? You weren't going to have it regardless.

It has the same energy of someone complaining that nobody else should be allowed to date their ex.

I tried playing the demo for MH Rise and couldn't get through what I'm guessing was supposed to be the tutorial level. No clue what it was wanting me to do, but whatever I was doing wasn't working, and I was basically getting ragdolled/killed over and over until I timed out. Up until that point, I mainly remember just a lot of information / text box overload and way too many controls.

I didn't bother wishing the gameplay was simplified; I just gave up. I'm not even so sure that just an easier difficulty option would have really helped; don't think it would have necessarily fixed the things I was struggling with.

Go for it, the dead aren't using any of it.

The only reason I see this being problematic is if you had something worth tens of thousands or millions of dollars, and you're descendants are still alive, you basically took part of their inheritance

The inheritance that you couldn't be bothered to go and get yourself so it may as well not even be yours anymore?

If it were solely up to me without any outside influence, I would go if I could confirm it was being well planned and organized and wasn't some rustbucket like a certain Titanic sub that was in the news recently.

However, I know for a fact my spouse would be deeply uncomfortable with me going, and I don't want to go badly enough to go against their wishes.

Money. I don't give a crap about their "knowledge", whatever that entails.

Having the knowledge doesn't necessarily mean everyone is automatically going to hear/believe you.

Not a genre I've ever been interested in.

Taking aside the fact I doubt this was posted seriously, I'm perfectly happy to "ick" people who honestly think like this.

Hmm, no, I feel like it's funnier as originally posted

Toad is in Smash.

As Peach's counter, but he's there.

They already aren't going to, and chances are they'd just make it worse somehow, so money plz.

Your reading comprehension is poor. I explictly said:

"It just gets some of the people who otherwise didn't care either way (about pronouns being in the game, or about there being a mod to remove them) annoyed about the obvious ideological favoritism at play."

If you are annoyed at this, you weren't as neutral as you'd like people to think.

I still wonder if there are people that perished in the ocean that they have possibly not found. A lot of people jumped into the ocean to escape the fires and on any other day it might have been fine, but the waters probably weren't particularly calm given the windy conditions that helped spread the fire to begin with.

Taking aside the fact I don't have a pet, not a chance.

I don't think I would do it for my spouse, either, unless I were to find out their life would be unexpectedly shortened. All things considered, they are already likely to outlive me.

Someone posted what seems to be a technical explanation as to why/how this happened; no idea how legit but seems to make sense enough. Basically, this sort of "burn-in" isn't permanent, so no need to worry about lasting damage.

Why would a weekend be the start of the week?

Sunday is on one end of the week, Saturday is on the other.

Sunday. It appears more balanced that way.

I wonder if MTWTFSS (as opposed to SMTWTFS) is rooted at all in religion -- what with God resting on the seventh day (Sunday) and such.

some of the evolution requirements have been a lot more esoteric, pretty sure theres one where you have to hold your device upside down in the rain or something

If anyone thinks the console-upside-down thing (Malamar) is weird, try looking up Runerigus. I have no idea how anyone was supposed to figure that one out.

and it's f zero 99 of the snes game instead of a new game or even using f zero x as the game.

TYD honestly looks the same as the GC version. like sure it's gonna be HD but the art style doesn't leave much to improve it. really should have the 64 version packaged with it.

Gotta keep them Switch Online+ numbers up, yo.

I'm OK with remasters as long as they either actually do polish up the old work to a significant enough degree, and/or are sold at less than full price. Otherwise it just falls under lazy cash grab territory for me.

Metroid Prime is a recent example of one that does these criteria right.

If this is what you're calling grade 9 math, nope.

This is basically where I started to check out of math, when up until then it was basically my favorite school subject.

Yes. The thing is, I'm only "good" with the kids I like, and they are few and far between. For the majority of other kids, I'm either secretly or openly wishing I could be as far away as possible.

Nope. There's plenty of games that can offer a good experience from start to finish; if I need to wait for that to happen, you've already failed.

Taking out the "always run" toggle in HGSS.

There's honestly plenty of other things that qualify (taking out the Vs Seeker from FRLG and DPP is another contender for me), but this one I think is the most egregious for most players. It's really like we can't have anything nice, no matter how simple, for more than a single game or generation.

No. If you can communicate/behave on a sufficiently mature level I won't care what your age is.

When I was younger this usually meant the people I was interacting/relating to were mostly older than me. Now that I am one of those older people though, I've been noticing that the proportion of people I interact with that are younger than I am has gradually increased.

Yeah, I'm sure that's the reason. People just don't want to work. (For you.)

Immediate satisfaction, i.e. the motive behind everything in life.

I don't get satisfaction out of eating. It's something I do because I'd die without it. A moot point if I know I'm going to die afterward anyway.

What's the point of eating if I know I will die immediately afterward?

Not most of it, no. A lot of it feels ridiculous on some level, such as the "speedrunning" of games that clearly aren't designed for it, or using exploits to skip basically 99% of the game (what's even the point, then?)

I try to avoid public restrooms in general unless I absolutely have to use one.

It ruins sales if you can just read a YouTube play of a VN. It's just as bad as piracy.

If your video game is so devoid of actual gameplay that you're gonna call it "piracy" when someone LPs it (when you wouldn't do that for any other kind of video game), maybe that's a sign what you're making shouldn't be, or be considered, a video game.

So yeah, clown take.

I'm gonna be honest. Confirmation on Waluigi's pronunciation was the biggest thing I got from the video. Also, I didn't watch the whole video yet lol.

Doesn't Waluigi audibly say his own name in like every game he appears in? How was this ever up for debate?

choosing a dog over a literal human is really telling.

seek help, all of you

A "literal" human? What's that supposed to mean, in this context? The dog doesn't get to be "literal" too?

I'm guessing you're regarding a human life as inherently more valuable than another animal's life, and that's likewise very telling. I'm not even saying that nobody should have that opinion, but you definitely do not get to enforce it upon everyone else.

I think you might be a psychopath.

Okay.

There's no "contradiction" to address, because as I said, the situations are not analogous. However much you may want to believe it so, my take on what I would save from the building does not have to correspond with my take on "socialized benefits" as you put it, and it most certainly doesn't fall in line with whatever you seem to think my take must be.

It's unfortunate for you that you can't seem to recognize the difference in situations, but much like with Rando Baby, I am similarly under no obligation to ELI5 it for you.

You being unable to comprehend something is not the same thing as it making no sense.

Keep flailing.

You're still looking deeper into it than you should, and are still drawing the wrong conclusions.

Taxes are not at all an analogous situation to making a choice of what to save from a burning building by the way, but it's always funny watching people try to make comparisons like this, so I guess keep trying if you want to.

No, you're probably thinking of Link to the Past. I can say with 100% certainty that Link's Awakening did not do this.

So presumably you are also against universal healthcare, state education, welfare, and taxation?

If no one has any obligation to anyone else, then why should they make contributions for the general well-being of society?

This is rugged individualism/libertarianism via the route of sentimental attachments to pets and possessions.

No, I just value my own shit more than I value someone else's shit.

You probably shouldn't look into it any deeper than that. It's going to cause you to draw some wrong conclusions, much like how you did here.

ai123 posted...

To those who would save the dog:

Would you make the same choice if you knew your actions were being witnessed?

If you had to account for them in a TV interview or an inquest (if your country has those)?

Would you be prepared to go through life as 'that person who let a kid die to save their dog'? (The alternative being 'the hero who saved a baby's life').

Let's assume there is no point in lying. There are multiple credible witnesses, unambiguous CCTV footage, whatever.

(Thou, of course, if you felt the need to lie, that would be highly indicative).

None of that changes my response.

Hell, I'd take it a step further and say I would save my personal effects before I would save some random baby. Again, the baby has no significance to me, and I have no obligation toward it.

I am not a pet person and I would never have one. But if I did have one, of course I'd save my dog. The baby has no significance to me.

>"Is there any good argument?"
>"you know, aside from that one"

Sounds about right for reddit mods.

Yes. I would usually joke about how they would meet in the hospital.

The chance to literally be the elephant in the room far outweighs whatever satisfaction 500 bucks will get me.

you didn't know much about this stuff at all before you were 14?

I didn't know anything at all about it. Prior to then, people could easily have me believing that babies were delivered by a stork.
