Also, a lot of games hide it in load screens and don’t explicitly tell you. If you’ve ever updated a game and first run seems to be slower to load, that’s the game compiling shaders for you.

Well you are insufferable.

Not wrong, just insufferable.

The third sub-heading is simply “Bullshit”. The fact that they describe how a “Bullshitter” differs from “Liar” is a TIL for me… I never really thought about it before, but the description here is spot on.

Watching the credits for Super Metroid for the first time.

That end card probably stayed on my tv for for like an hour while I just sat there.

implying people read nutritional labels closely.

There is nothing more fucking annoying to me than some of the portion size bullshit on packages. Like, when I have a bowl of fruit loops, I’m going to have a bowl, not a tablespoon*. Either give me the whole fucking package worth of calories (which… seriously some people need) or at least be realistic with portion sizes. I know it’s an estimate, but I’m pretty sure companies love to make their crap sound better than it is by giving the minimum.

Edit: * - I call out fruit loops but I haven’t actually looked them in a long time now, so my example is not real world. As someone paying attention to this across a lot of different products though, it’s been really grinding my gears and I needed to rant. XD

Remember, remember, who YOU voted for in November.

Or they made their seasonal change from their summers to winters, and if, like me, you have separate rims so you can easily do it at home, you now get to drive around with the car whining about no tpms. Because fucking cars can’t have this as built in diagnostic functionality in these giant computers on wheels.

When I have time I’ll pop over to a shop that can reprogram them to the second set, but it’s not exactly priority numero uno.

Is this a real book? It looks delightful, and possibly needs to be on my daughters bookshelf!

I suspect more than a few of us are feeling called out with this comment.

I can’t recall another game with a free roam camera that gave lore to their camera. You control two characters at the same time!

My head canon is that Lakitu is the camera operator in all Nintendo games to this day.

Might be something you can do on Switch 2 pro controller with GL/GR at least?

I can’t speak for BOTW but the remap capability in the NSO Classics is such a massive improvement that I’m finally playing N64 games on it.

I kind of hold out hope that maybe maybe it’s a sign Nintendo is finally pulling it’s head from its ass when it comes to letting us change controls.

Not wanting a firehose of shit being thrown at you every time you go online = voter apathy?

Like, fuck dude. The world sucks. When I’m not busy voting 99.999999999% of the year I just want to look at funny pictures of cats.

Sure… but like… PICK ONE.

You get to be one of todays lucky 10 thousand!

It’s one of those holdover things a good number internet old webcomics do, including the linked XKCD. It’s one of those things that’s effortless with your traditional mouse-keyboard desktop setup, because you hover your mouse and magically the alt-text appears without having to really find it. But for new users in the touch screen era? As you say, yeah, definitely obtuse. :)

I mean, I’m not left handed but… I still have a left hand and like to use it some times. :/

Some accessibility wins benefit everyone and it could be so easy.

To keep that metaphor going, if you are online, you are in Detroit.

My first fucking thought was was “yeah, how about no, I’m in fucking zoom calls all fucking day at work.” I give them credit, interesting idea as a high concept thing, but like no chance I’m even giving this 10 minutes even if the reviews weren’t utter shit.

Make button that fit big toe perfectly, get button pressed by big toe.

Logic.

I was about to say, I recognize that name… Then I saw forum name and the year…

I was there Gandalf, 3000 years ago…

Nobody:

Me:  "This meme format makes no fucking sense!"
