Gen IV Pokémon designs are worse than those of gen V, mostly due to Magnezone, Lickilicky, Rhyperior, Tangrowth, Electivire, Magmortar, Togekiss and Mamoswine looking as if someone had just inflated their pre-evolutions. And then we got Yanmega, Gliscor and Porygon Z, which look like nightmare fuel rather than Pokémon.

Also, Palkias shoulder and head straight up form a genital and you can't convince me otherwise.

I think that more videogames should make so that enemies run away from you after beating the dungeon's boss OR disabling random encounters when you beat the dungeon's boss. the only game that I know does this is earthbound and maybe chrono trigger

Ocarina of Time looks best with a locked 20 fps

When I was a kid, Zelda 64 seemed so cinematic. It helped that the game had a great presentation. The first time you open a large treasure chest was definitely a highlight of the generation. To be honest, I think any framerate would suit that game, provided it doesn't dip below the original 20fps.

I need to really critically look at Ship of Harkinian and the official 3DS port and see how those two change the essence of the game. Whatever the case, playing OoT is better than not playing it at all.

New Metroid sucks, such a let down for a 18 year wait. Its like a watered down Halo with a Metroid theme.

Just, have set enemy spawns/escape rope from the boss room, and perhaps only allow enemy respawn if you don't beat the boss if you're gonna be inclined to grind(but its always a better game design to AVOID having a mindless grind).

Its good to be negative all the time, since being negative and being realistic are the same thing and its good to be realistic

Respectfully, I disagree. I liked that line from Chris Redfield in Resident Evil 5- I think it's at the very beginning of the game- where he merely admits to being a realist. Since life is full of variables, the probability of events turning out exactly as hoped (every time) is unreasonable. Unfortunately, the probability of events having a negative result increases, if we're surrounded by negative (ill-willing) people.

In Chris Redfield's case, going deeper into Umbrella-run communities increased the probability that he'd run into zombies.

I'm inclined to link my previous post about positivity. Can you name three unique things/events that made you happy today? I'd recommend doing that every day for a while and seeing if you can "accumulate happiness." (What can I say, I get all my mental wellness advice from My Name is Mahtob.)

Developing a positive mindset takes time, patience, and perseverance. Setting goals is a good option. Can you do 20 minutes of beginner yoga as exercise? Can you take a walk for some Vitamin D? Do you have a healthy diet? There are small changes you can make that slowly, methodically make a difference.

Without actually bothering to check the definition, I'm gonna say it's not a double negative because one isn't negating the other, only reinforcing it.

Absolutely not a double negative. It would need to be something like "they're not nothing" or similar for it to be a double negative. The phrase would actually mean they're something not nothing as they're both negative words. Much like how in the US people use the phrase "I could care less", ok so care less then. When the actual gramatically correct sentence would be, I couldn't care less.

However I would say that being negative and a realist are not the same thing. Realist means you take everything for what it is, with the information available. However being negative would be only seeing a negative outcome in any situation with the information available.

In today's world of smartphones, Amazon, etc., do you still run into the infamous Christmas songs as frequently? If not, do they still deserve the same disdain as 30 years ago?
Click to expand...
Yes. It doesn't matter where it is, from malls to the radio to practically anywhere, I still can hear Christmas songs more and more frequently as mid-November passes up to January. I honestly feel bad for the people who can't stand listening to the same thing over-and-over, we need to have regular tunes more frequently regardless of what time it is.

RGB LEDs shouldn't exist on modern computer cases or any accessory for that matter. I like my case plain, non-flashy, and simple-it's both distracting and more of a novelty to impress. Companies who advertise them "for gaming" are out of the trends. I don't think those who enjoy gaming appreciate it unlike those years ago.

I remember working retail in 2012 and grew to loath Christmas music. Listening to that shite should be seen as a cruel and unusual punishment.
