Yup, they've tried tv at higher framerates, and it just didn't look right.

Maybe if people eventually stop watching classic movies and shows when they're young (if that's something you really want to push for), but until then kids are just going to grow up acclimated to the 24 fps standard when to comes to movies and TV.

Yeah, if your story was so bad you're having to go back in with DLC and change it, you're already fucked.

I doubt it'll get as bad as FFXV's post-release trainwreck, but KH3's story isn't suddenly going to become good because they rewrite a couple of scenes in the final world.

FFXV actually kind of weakened their story when they added the movie stuff with the dlc. Story was actually decent at release, with an ending that paid off rather well and a few emotional parts along the way.

Story-wise, FFXV is goddamned Shakespeare compared to KH III. I will give KH III the edge in combat, but it also falls short in terms of minigames and side content.

Just going by circumference is misleading. The width portion is much more important than the depth.

Length is also a factor, though it's usually in proportion to your width. If you have rather short arms, a large face is going to dig into your hand when you bend it back.

It is a remake of a movie from 2012, which got pretty glowing reviews when it was on the film festival circuit:

https://variety.com/2012/film/markets-festivals/eagles-1117948313/

And it is more like they go on a vigilante campaign than a mass shooting spree...

Kind of figured it was something like that.

Not sure what's got people's panties in a knot when this is basically just a more serious John Wick movie with a duo.

The executives wanting to make it inspirational rather than focus on the darker aspects does seem a bit off putting though.

Nah, it's straight up 16 in a majority of the states (32-ish), 17 in like 7, and 18 in the remaining 13 or so.

And then you add in the states from the 17/18 group that have Romeo and Juliet laws.

Federal law is 16 though, which covers traveling Americans.

Is this seriously a thing, or were you being funny?

Pointing a loaded gun at a minor without a legitimate reason is indeed endangering their welfare.

There's a reason why instructors tell you to never point a gun at something unless you plan to shoot it. Just the act of pointing something like that is dangerous in itself due to the chance of the gun misfiring, or the wielder fucking up.

I thought hippo meant hippo.

My go to is a coffee with Bailey's (or the cheaper Costco brand) at night. Or an Irish coffee if I want to relax a bit more. Also have a few whiskeys that I'll do a single or double of maybe 3 times a week or so.

Unless I'm off to the next day, in which case I'll usually pick up a Starbucks or Coffee Bean for a bit more caffeine.

So average 4-5 times a week I guess? Very rarely ever get beyond a bit buzzed though, unless I over pour on an empty stomach or something.

you have to remember that before this, there was zelda 1 and zelda 2

zelda 1 just started you in the middle of no where, didn't tell you what to do or where to go and you could go to any dungeon in any order, prepared or not prepared.

zelda 2 was a crazy weird mix of rpg elements and side scrolling.

so when LttP came out, it had story, it had direction, side quests, it had a dungeon order to it. it had all the things people hate about zelda now (until BotW)


I get that, but I was told vehemently that it stands up to any game today and I must play it

Do you think it feels dated? I played OoT last year for the first time and I couldn't put it down, definitely an all time great. I don't think "good for its time" is an excuse

I felt the same way about OoT that you do about LttP. Just couldn't get into it.

I mean, it's probably because I tried to play it a gen later, after playing Okami, but it really did feel dated to me.
