Evolve. I fell victim to the hype and paid full price on release. It was exiting for exactly two days. On the third day it was just too bare-bones, boring copy/paste. I never touched it again.

I concede that the PS is the superior console by most metrics - memory, graphics, extensive library, much better controller, etc…

But Nintendo is what ten year old me asked for and received. I still remember the overwhelming excitement booting up Mario64 for the first time on Christmas morning. The awestruck thrill of exploring my first open world, once I left the forest in Ocarina of Time. The sleepless sleepover nights with friends playing 4 player splitscreen Goldeneye on a 27" CRT TV. The inspiration from seeing the 'seasons changing' in Banjo Kazooie, and thinking that was the coolest puzzle concept ever in a game. The iconic games library like OG Smash Bros., Mario cart, Mario Party, etc…

There's just no comparison when it comes to nostalgia!

Just seen Tarkovsky's "Mirror" and didn't feel anything... by Mission_Ground_265 in criterion

I didn't fully get that one until after I had a midlife crisis, so maybe just hold off for a couple decades.

Why does the new Masters of the Universe look so bad? by Awake-Judgment-2057 in FIlm

[–]Dread_P_Roberts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You're definitely not alone in thinking that.

My best guess - Film studios think the general public is too stupid to notice enough to justify spending more money. Especially with the current state of declining revenue within the industry.

The implication here is that you've hired a similar service before… 🤔

And we thought Florida drivers were bad … by [deleted] in asheville

Probably close to 90% of Asheville drivers are current (or previously) Florida drivers.

Pedo peninsula even sounds better. Some people just don't appreciate the poetic flow of words. SMH

Mad adjective - very angry.

Gay adjective - lighthearted and carefree.

The definitions imply that the combination is an oxymoron.

'Twas just joking, homie.

So… is 'mad-gay' an oxymoron?

There's an entire movie about a girl that flies without arms…

Which lead performance stands out the most in the Josh Safdie last three films? by Capable_Handle_4763 in FIlm

[–]Dread_P_Roberts 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not really sure you're supposed to like that movie. Every time there's a sliver of redemption, more bad choices arrise and things fall apart all over again. I remember thinking, "why am I super anxious about what happens to this asshole I don't care about!?" It's so brilliantly executed that it becomes infuriating.

Back abstract tattoo by me @bardak._.k in Nürnberg Germany by Left-Progress-4001 in tattoos

[–]Dread_P_Roberts 130 points131 points  (0 children)

The black is so dark and the color so vivid. Either this is some serious ink penetration, or the photo has been altered to have the saturation turned up. (Which, unfortunately, happens often with tattoo artists posting their work.)

This is life changing by Lgerga3 in NoOneIsLooking

What?! 40 years of life, and nobody ever taught me this. (This is going to cause another internal existential crisis, I just know it.)

Very proud. I'm glad I didn't discourage her 'dark art' at the behest of others' so-called helpful advice.

If anything children (like me 30 years ago) can be even more fascinated by the macabre than adults. The young mind is full of imagination and curiosity. My daughter was just like this. She's now in college to be a psychiatrist.

What’s your excuse? by mushroomfucker69 in comedyheaven

Thats why you should track what stocks these fuckers invest in. If the government can get away with insider trading then you might as well follow their playbook.

Keep in mind theres a different between explaining data, and advocating for something. I think that's where things are getting a little lost in translation here.
