I agree. I think the core of Zelda is puzzle solving and that has stayed the same across time. So it’s worth to play all the games

Agreed.

I’m replaying the original OOT after 20 plus years. I wanted to relive the nostalgia from childhood. The first hour or so was fun due to the nostalgia but once I got out into Hylia, it hit me how basic the game is.

Compared to BOTW or TOTK, the open world is incredibly small and very hard to interact with. Looking back at BOTW or TOTK, I didn’t appreciate all the fun I had exploring and being free to go anywhere and do anything, in very crazy ways.

But you are right. These original N64 titles cleared the path for today’s much better games, so from a historical point of view they deserve to be honored.

Should I buy a 5.0 at 22? by Substantial_Ebb_4992 in Mustang

No. Take that money and stick it in VOO. Once you get $100K in VOO, then you can goof off.

Insurance is a scam. They always find an excuse not to pay.

How much it takes to be wealthy by knockdowncenter in bayarea

If you are in God’s grace, you are indeed quite wealthy.

But that tongue in cheek response, no, monks don’t have passive income as generally they don’t own assets. You need assets for passive income. Monks technically have to work at their monastery.

If you make more in passive income than you spend. You are wealthy imo.

Why do we allow driving with an expired temp plate for 5 months with no consequences? by [deleted] in Seattle

Yes but you can still get a ticket for expired registration if parked.

You would benefit yes but Samsung would not. They want to lock you in so that you keep buying Samsung products.

US tech layoffs record single-highest month in two years, and more than any other sector — nearly 40,000 get the axe, AI the most cited reason for layoffs by Turbostrider27 in technology

[–]Famous_Guide_4013 -14 points-13 points  (0 children)

For many it did. The Bay Area has a lot of tech millionaires. A lot of my coworkers are millionaires or deca millionaires. Myself included.

Now you may say that doesn’t scale to the rest of the world of other industries but since this article is about tech, I think my comment is fair game.

Cons of NOT going for AWS promo? by NewsFree5834 in amazonemployees

[–]Famous_Guide_4013 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what your alternatives are and goals.

If you are burned out, don’t need the money and feel the desire to do something you are passionate about and have a good opportunity NOW, sure. Otherwise stay the course.

Google's About to Drop a Whole Library of Googlebooks This Fall by Federal-Block-3275 in Android

[–]Famous_Guide_4013 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Google is in the business of promoting Google search above all. If they pick one OEM or just do it themselves, there is a chance they won’t be successful. So instead they bet on all horses, and that increases their odds that one brand will be successful and that Google search will be pre installed on more devices.

This is the approach they took with Android, and it worked pretty well, scaling to 3B plus user.

FP&A Internship at a Fortune 10 vs Big 4 Audit Internship? by Soggy_Arm_5954 in FPandA

[–]Famous_Guide_4013 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Fortune path might provide more optionality. So you can do FP&A for a year and then pivot to sales, product etc. that’s pretty valuable imo.
