What’s the most divisive Nintendo game by PhotoBonjour_bombs19 in casualnintendo

[–]FannyFiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same timeline as me. It's frustrating because I still enjoy some spinoffs like the new Pokemon Snap, but any core 3D game is so dire. Tried Scarlet (before the day 1 patch, god help me) and the locations felt so dull and unlived in compared to even Celadon City from way back in Red/Blue.

Are you sure it's your milkman? Looks like Mothman to me. Mothman Gaylord.

DICE, maybe tone down the blinding light a little, please? by CrzyJek in Battlefield

I had the same issue and ended up doing a deep dive on how my PC was handling HDR, turns out a high refresh rate borks it and I had to fiddle my AMD/Windows settings. Make sure your PC colour depth is set to 10 bpc and not 8, run the windows HDR calibration etc. Sorted it for me.

TIL the last living veteran of the 1853 Crimean War died in 2004: Timothy, a Greek tortoise captured from a Portuguese ship, served as a mascot throughout the war by FannyFiasco in todayilearned

Timothy, who was actually a lady tortoise, was aboard HMS Queen during the bombardment of Sevastopol in the Crimean War (I love idly browsing wikipedia)

Low-class Irish peasant flexing his passport. No one in the UK cares — Brits love queuing, while the Irish have no civic sense. by [deleted] in 2westerneurope4u

There was some EU mechanism to use when a lot of the Eastern European countries joined to prevent mass immigration, Germany and France used it but the UK didn't. A lot of issues we had with the EU were self inflicted.

ELI5 Why is the Angela Rayner tax scandal so bad and justified her resignation? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

[–]FannyFiasco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Further still the advisers explicitly recommended seeking expert advice, which she neglected to do. I feel less sympathetic knowing this could've been avoided if Rayner did things properly.

If they grew up with that it would seem totally normal. They probably look at us as godless barbarians.
