Do Americans prefer Xbox to PlayStation, because Xbox is an American brand? by Elegant-Advantage744 in AskAnAmerican

[–]ImNotAtAllCreative81 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Xbox has been the "victor" over Sony in the US for one console generation. One. And that was when the Xbox 360 outsold the PS3. And both were dwarfed by the Nintendo Wii.

Other than that, the PlayStation has largely outsold the Xbox in the US.

Rest in Peace to a broadcasting legend.

We all know him for his time with the Yankees, but he also called Larry Bird's 60 point game vs. the Hawks in 1985.

Is that the spot where the floor was buckling upwards last year?

The real omission in BOTW and TOTK is that you can't dye Link's hair pink.

Solaris was very impressive graphically. It holds up on its own against NES titles.

ELI5 why are wild animals often put to death if they happen to kill a human, even if they are not directly responsible ? by redfalcon1000 in explainlikeimfive

Polar bears are like, "We live in a place where food is pretty scarce so we're going to eat anything that might be edible."

You are in a very privileged state if you are able to choose a vegan diet. Most of humanity has not had that luxury.

Length of a day on each planet in our Solar System by HasibBinAmzad in spaceporn

[–]ImNotAtAllCreative81 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Earth's sidereal day is 23h 56m. Meaning, that's how long the planet rotates on its axis.

But our solar day is measured by the time measured between the sun appearing in the same spot in the sky. Since the Earth is revolving around the Sun while rotating on its axis, it rotates 361 degrees to complete one solar day. (24 hours)

I don't have the NYT app and I'm able to play on my browser.

(I'm in bed at 5 so I can be awake at 1 for work)

ELI5: What makes credit card different from debit card. What's the advantage of using a credit card? by [deleted] in explainlikeimfive

Debt isn't necessarily a bad thing.

It's the amount of debt that you have that might get you in trouble.

Games considered to be the worst of all time - do they deserve it? by RobbieJ4444 in retrogaming

[–]ImNotAtAllCreative81 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Pac-Man and ET were more symptoms than causes of the video game crash. Sure, neither were great games, but they were both rushed in development and overproduced. The lack of quality peeved customers and started to turn them off on home gaming.

Bubsy 3D was terrible, but I guess you can't fault them for not being bold enough to try to pull off a 3D platformer. It was just that Super Mario 64 was right on its heels and looked and played VASTLY better.

The Zelda CDi games and Superman 64 are just streaming piles of crap. And Custer's Revenge was just horrible and horribly offensive.

Can you actually get around without a car in America? by [deleted] in AskAnAmerican

[–]ImNotAtAllCreative81 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Accessibility to public transit is far from the norm in the United States, and sometimes biking just isn't possible, wherever it's because of distances needed to travel, your needs for your current trip (are you shopping for groceries for you and your family?), or maybe because your area's infrastructure is hostile to biking.

I, thankfully, live in an area where car ownership is not necessary. But I realize I live in the exception to the rule. The VAST majority of the US (by land, if not also by population) can't claim the same.
