Unpopular opinions V8 Flat IS NOTHING - General

[quote]I post shit because I enjoy fighting over stupid things[/quote] Unpopular opinion: I will always consider this more 'childish' than playing and being a fan of Pokemon when you're 24.

I actually have grown to dislike pokemon but not really because it's weird that adults like it. Mostly it's because of how repetitive the games are, and how horrible the multiplayer side is. 1. Balance is terrible, even with the community such as smogon trying SO HARD to rescue it. 2. Pray to RNGjesus 3. You pretty much have to cheat because of EV* and IV** values. At the very least you need online calculators to figure that shit out because the games hide that information, it took years for fans to even figure out they existed. But a lot of people just generate their Pokemon instead of wasting weeks breeding them. * EV means [URL="https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Effort_values"]effort values[/URL]. They're numbers that alter your pokemons stats depending on what enemies they fight. ** IV means [URL="https://bulbapedia.bulbagarden.net/wiki/Individual_values"]individual values[/URL]. They're basically genes that alter your pokemon's stats, and you have to breed for them.

[QUOTE=RoboChimp;52768999]The US Super Nintendo looks like shit.[/QUOTE] As far as I can tell that's the [I]popular[/I] opinion. You ask me, the US Super Nintendo is way way better than the European/Japanese one.

I mean a lot of people like pokemon as adults because they liked it as a kid. Same with a lot of 'childish' things. Personally I kinda like it but hate the games because of how bland they are.

[QUOTE=RoboChimp;52768999]The US Super Nintendo looks like shit.[/QUOTE] I never understood why they decided to redesign a perfectly normal looking console into a drab pile of crud

It actually took me years to find out that there was more to FMJ besides the boot camp. That part of the movie is all anyone ever talks about. v:v:v

I'm really not a fan of Codex's in games. In some games they're pretty good, like for example Life is Strange has a codex of a sort that just keeps track of important characters and describes who they are which is important for someone like me who is so bad with names that they regularly watch movies without being able to name most of the characters beyond "Police Chief" and "That one android that's a total cunt". But it's ones like the one in Dragon Age or Mass Effect that bug the shit out of me. The ones that function as in game wikis with 8 textbooks worth of flavor text about the world. What bugs me is that I reckon it's the worst way to give me the information. You could have someone talk about it in the game world, or show it to me in some visual manner, or do like Bioshock and give me audio logs and journals. But just reading shit in a codex is like barely a step above just checking the wiki. I try to ignore them but they always have to have a fucking flashing icon that drives me insane the whole game just go away I don't need to know the lore of Shepard's SHOES

[QUOTE=Skerion;52769603]Somehow, I'm more nostalgic of the Super Famicon Controller. Probably because its buttons are red, blue, green and yellow, I guess[/QUOTE]In Australia, the coloured button logo is pretty nostalgic, the guy who altered your SNES design should have at least kept the coloured buttons. It made sense to alter the NES design from the Famicon so people didn't associate with the 1983 games market crash, but the Super Famicon didn't need to be changed, it really confused me when I saw it for the first time on AVGN's show.

To be more precise, I think pokemon is a bad thing to like because The games are imbalanced, and the handheld games have a fuckton of unneccessary shit to sway through (like every attack requires you to press buttons fifty times to get through "it's super effective") The latter really takes the fun out of it. If you think about it, trading cards are a diabolical business practice. Very comparable to loot crates for kids. It's sad to see someone hooked on something almost maliciously capitalistic from their childhood. And my view doesn't improve when you can see rare cards on ebay selling for silly-money[I]I'm sure any kind of glorious communist game of pokemon would provide decks with consistent cards[/I] The Peta shit doesn't bother me so much. I dislike the art style, that'd normally be something fine, but I guess seeing a grown man pleased over something marketed excessively towards children. I think it's more the merchandise and the fact that a lot of pokemon fans will let you know they're pokemon fans, and often act like that makes them a cool nerd. Bar one on-the-fence guy, everyone I know who's shown overt interest in pokemon was overtly a neckbeard or the female equivalent (mustache face?) It's up there with bronies.

Bathroom signs, not just any, but the ultramodern advant garde signs [IMG]https://shop.signbox.co.uk/uploads/products/w/h600/deco%20male%20&%20female.jpg[/IMG] Shit like this, I get wanting to fit in with the decor or design, but fucked, there are plenty, choose one that's obvious, I need to piss, I'm not going to look and go, 'wow nice design'

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;52772923]Handicap toilets basically fill the gap. Especially with the gender neutral discussion. Plus you feel like a king shitting in those[/QUOTE] Always get anxious that while I'm shitting someone who's handicapped will come knocking and get pissed off when I walk out all able bodied and whatnot. I've had it happen before at my last job (both staff toilets and public ones were full) and my colitis was flaring so I went for it. And when I got out some angry old couple called me a fucking asshole. Better than shitting blood all over the floor.

[QUOTE=gokiyono;52772890]All bathrooms needs to be unisex[/QUOTE] Won't happen for a long time, people like to whine about how uncomfortable they are knowing that on the other side of three walls and a locked door is ~someone of the other sex~ [editline]13th October 2017[/editline] [QUOTE=Ignhelper;52772882]Bathroom signs, not just any, but the ultramodern advant garde signs [IMG]https://shop.signbox.co.uk/uploads/products/w/h600/deco%20male%20&%20female.jpg[/IMG] Shit like this, I get wanting to fit in with the decor or design, but fucked, there are plenty, choose one that's obvious, I need to piss, I'm not going to look and go, 'wow nice design'[/QUOTE] I mean to be fair it's pretty obvious, the one on the top/left is for doorstops and the one on the bottom/right is for buttplugs

[QUOTE=Clovis;52775428]i think all toilets being unisex is not a good idea, however there definitely should be more unisex stalls as an option [editline]13th October 2017[/editline] i think its nice to have unisex toilets but theres only ever room for 1 cause usually its the room for people who are disabled so theres a large space to accomodate people who use wheelchairs in a room that only has one toilet and is lockable, so if someones using it youre screwed :v[/QUOTE] Its actually cost beneficial also. Like instead of making 2 sections its just 1, but then how you gonna divide urinals? Or remove urinals are have only cubicles?

How would removing genders from bathrooms remove disabled toilets?

I sometimes use disabled toilets tbh. I mean I am legally considered disabled anyway, and while I can use regular toilets no problem disabled toilets are much cleaner pretty much 100% of the time.

From my experience, disabled toilets are used more often by regular people than actual disabled people. Or, maybe they were gonna shit blood everywhere, you can't really tell till you see that.

[QUOTE=Ignhelper;52776074]Its actually cost beneficial also. Like instead of making 2 sections its just 1, but then how you gonna divide urinals? Or remove urinals are have only cubicles?[/QUOTE] Urinals will always have their place, I feel. It's quicker than using a stall, and it'd still be open in the event that the line backs up because generally speaking the restroom with a line is the one for women. That said, imo they should be more of an afterthought rather than a replacement for stalls. I've been in a restroom with only one stall and two urinals while the women's restroom had 3 stalls, and for the first time ever, the men's restroom had a huge line because nobody wanted to use the urinal. The women's restroom was totally clear, and people were in and out in no time.

[QUOTE=The Jack;52776427]From my experience, disabled toilets are used more often by regular people than actual disabled people. Or, maybe they were gonna shit blood everywhere, you can't really tell till you see that.[/QUOTE] There aren't all that many disabled people in all honesty (compared to non-disabled people), so there's never any line or a real risk of a disabled person needing the toilet when it is in use already. Kind of same with buses, there's a seat behind the driver reserved for blind people and their service dogs, but I have [I]never[/I] seen a blind person take a bus here.

Far Cry 2 was a great game, and most of its annoyances merely served a nice challange.

Far cry 2 was terrible and so was Just cause, it looks pretty, but fuck after a while the game was stale, storywise go there do that come back games are fucking terrible, no matter how amazing the graphics or unique environments DayZ and Playerunknown are just Arma 3 modded on diff engines

Samsung stores look more Modern than Apple stores.

people who hear of CRISPR and immediately think of curing genetic diseases and creating cat girls are doing more of a disservice to science than people who don't know about CRISPR at all

obviously very unpopular but I love radiant quests when done right. Shit like skyrim bounty mods where you travel around looking for dudes, even fallout 4 when I use mods that up the difficulty and make it so enemy spawning is different (so it isnt just the same ghouls in the same area) I love it.

Like the writing's garbage if they try so might as well not write anything and let the game generate everything you do. Tes II was mostly procedurally generated quests, and TES II was quite the sensation in the tiny gaming market of the day. Like, I fucking loved some of oblivion's quests, so if they could do that again, that'd be swell, but I think huge open world RPGs like TES and F4 should go for making everything as dynamic as possible.

For basic loot box regulation I think this would be a good start: 1. All companies have to disclose drop rates for paid loot boxes. Unironically China has this right. 2. If the loot from said boxes is able to be traded/exchanged for real money, it really needs to be counted as and regulated like normal gambling. As in, 18+ age requirement, mandatory warnings/links to helplines, etc.. I'm not really on board with slamming overwatch-style lootboxes as some seem to be.
