I wanted one a few years ago, but couldn’t find anything that wasn’t from the 90s and/or beat to shit…

Enshittification intensifies!

Both bad is not the same as both the same. They’re differently bad. That’s the part you seem to be missing.

You know what else spammers and criminals often do? Breathe. We need to make that more difficult.

IV was the one I spent the most time on, so that makes sense. But with V it’s not a lack of depth, more a lack of continuity. Of course it’s been so long since I played it I can’t remember any specific examples, I just remember being disappointed, and thinking they spent so much time/money on the physics, they had nothing left for the story …

In other words… differently.

Newton’s theory of gravity … severely inaccurate.

Except it’s not - it’s accurate enough within certain limits to still be useful today. It’s only inaccurate in extreme cases. Relativity is more accurate, sure, but outside of the extremes, it’s more complex than Newton’s and not worth the extra trouble.

GPS wouldn’t work if you were correct.

Common misconception. It would work fine, just differently.

I’m super picky, but I like Hawaiian pizza, so I don’t think it’s that…

Base 16 is great when you’re interacting with a computer, but aside from that, not much. Only being divisible by 2 is kind of a pain in the real world.

Rape is never funny.

Unless it’s a clown.

And he squeaks with every thrust.

I was disappointed by GTAV - yeah graphics were great, huge world and all, but they skimped on the writing.

Didn’t trey parker & matt stone already do that?

I guess that was Jesus vs Santa Claus…

Church lady has entered the chat…

I had a crazy Catholic prepper neighbor way back in '99 (she was the hipster of preppers, one of the things she railed about was all the people prepping just for y2k when she had already been doing it for years, but that’s another story) and one of her things was how evil bill gates was- so I told her Linux was evil-er because of the daemons. Gave her a lot to think about.

Then how is it an improvement?

Weird I was just having a similar conversation with my daughter yesterday - not about pedophiles specifically, but the more general topic of adults hurting children- she had heard about the case several years ago of a guy randomly grabbing and throwing a 5 year old off a 3rd story walkway at a mall, and was trying to understand why someone would do such a thing…

Sometimes it’s religious. My daughter was due to start kindergarten at the tail end of COVID lockdowns, so my wife and I were looking at options that didn’t involve her sitting in a room with 20+ kids… There are people that will homeschool small groups of kids, like 5 or so, and the public school system will pay them per kid so there’s no out of pocket cost to the parents. We interviewed with one family, and it was looking like it might be worth doing, they were obviously religious, but not obviously nutjobs, and I’m ok with my kids seeing that religion is out there as long as it’s not being forced on them… But then the mom said those magic words, evolution is “just one theory” and I couldn’t get past that. We ended up enrolling her in an online kindergarten.

Not to say there aren’t companies that do that, because there are plenty…

Some of us never left …
