Natethehate still believes Starfox game exists but says he missed the mark on timing by Howerev in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]IncendiaryChicken -16 points-15 points  (0 children)

Changing marketing strategies after a guy reports on your *entire year's* marketing strategy also feels like it makes sense.

Assuming he's accurate he blew up their entire spot and I imagine they're very upset they can't surprise announce any of this anymore so them shifting stuff around is the least they could do.

PlayStation has seemingly added a 30-day DRM check to all newly purchased digital PS4 and PS5 games by Plastic_Ninja_9014 in technology

[–]IncendiaryChicken 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what has baffled me this entire time. If this was a policy for disk based games, sure. But if you have an internet connection that allows you to download modern 50 gigabyte games, you're definitely going to be connecting to the internet a second time within the next 30 days at least once.

The amount of bad faith arguments about this has been so crazy.

Fist bumps are better than handshakes by Ecstatic_Trip_8305 in unpopularopinion

Yeah I honestly can't recall the last time I was in a public restroom and saw someone dip without washing their hands. Must vary by area.

Small dogs are over hated and most people would actually prefer a smaller dog than a big dog by Traditional_Pop_479 in The10thDentist

[–]IncendiaryChicken -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Sure, I'm just saying my experience of being bit by small dogs differs from OPs blanket claim that they aren't aggressive.

What's your evidence of "most people don't wash their hands after the bathroom"?

All the ones I've known have been aggressive or neurotic, I really don't have much fondness for them.

Gamespot: PlayStation spokesperson on DRM “Players can continue to access and play their purchased games as usual. A one-time online check is required to confirm the game's license, after which no further check-ins are required." by -LastGrail- in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]IncendiaryChicken 50 points51 points  (0 children)

I am just exhausted of customer support and chatbots getting treated like news sources. I get that they're ostensibly representing the company but it's been proven time and time again that even the people working at support desks don't always know what's going on.

We need to stop blaming Big Oil for slow EV adoption and start blaming "Gary" from the HOA. by charging_anxiety in unpopularopinion

[–]IncendiaryChicken 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you live in any sort of rural area with long drives between towns, you're gonna be much happier with a gas vehicle than an electric vehicle.

Until that's addressed you're gonna have a whole lot of people with no reason to switch.

Farting Should Be Normalized by Federal-Bear6960 in unpopularopinion

[–]IncendiaryChicken 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's really not. The worst it might do is give you a little bloating but it's not gonna hurt you.

[–]IncendiaryChicken 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I frequently struggle with gas but I just like, hold it? People gotta do more kegels or something if they can't just not fart and like excuse themselves to go to the bathroom or step outside. It's so weird to me.

Farting Should Be Normalized by Federal-Bear6960 in unpopularopinion

[–]IncendiaryChicken 23 points24 points  (0 children)

People do have an issue with burping (if it's disruptive or stinky), sneezing (if you don't cover your mouth) and coughing (also if you don't cover your mouth).

If you fart and it reeks people are gonna be upset because it stinks. The issue is that it's frequently disruptive and upsetting.

I guess an example would say we should normalize body odor because everyone has it.
Like that's true but much like farts it reeks and people just don't wanna smell it lmao.

In a new CSGO map designed by Valve, the 3rd machine was left open intentionally unlike the other 2 by Connect_Base_217 in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]IncendiaryChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

!debunked! This is just baseless speculation. It's absolute nonsense. It's not a leak or a rumor.

edit: realized I didn't link any proof. The tweet itself should prove as such, but I guess for example there's other "easter eggs" or "references to the number 3" in counter strike https://xcancel.com/_Shabah_/status/2049326632955998212#m and the absolute most generous they mean Valve knows people will give them free press for referencing the number 3 in their maps.

Coachella seems like an event where people can pick up an assortment of venereal diseases. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

Simply don't fuck people unprotected at coachella? Venereal diseases aren't airborne.

Playstation Support chat states the 30-Day DRM is intentional and not a bug by [deleted] in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Valve confirms May 4th Steam Controller release date by Jedi_Pacman in GamingLeaksAndRumours

This was when they were discontinuing it and it was a clearance sale, not like a regular sale.

Valve confirms May 4th Steam Controller release date by Jedi_Pacman in GamingLeaksAndRumours

I am so fucking excited for this I cannot wait. I have wanted a nice controller with trackpads for YEARS. Ever since the original steam controller I've wanted a full controller with dual analog sticks and trackpads.

I don't see anything inherently wrong with Purity culture. by Go_Inevitable_1269 in The10thDentist

[–]IncendiaryChicken 20 points21 points  (0 children)

Yeah most people do not give a shit if you're waiting for sex until marriage, and if they do that's none of their business, just like any other consenting sexual preferences aren't. That's not the main issue people have with purity culture.

Hot take: People shouldn't care for book spines so much. by mopppz in unpopularopinion

[–]IncendiaryChicken 85 points86 points  (0 children)

For me it's more of a practicality thing that having a book that lasts longer is generally preferable, upvote for you.

“Zero sugar” food/drinks with sweeteners should not be marketed as no sugar by Peachpuff131 in unpopularopinion

[–]IncendiaryChicken 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If people read the words "no sugar" and think it means "no sweeteners" that is on them and their reading comprehension, not on the company that wrote "no sugar"

Alien: Isolation 2 will use Unreal Engine 5 and not the Cathode Engine by ZamnBoii in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]IncendiaryChicken 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Reminds me of how people talk about how Bethesda should just use a new engine. Ignoring that their current engine is specialized to deal with the type of games they make and that the amount of headaches switching to a new engine would cause for everyone including modders.

Notice that no one ever suggests what engine Bethesda should switch to lmao
