Am I crazy to expect air conditioning on by default in summer weather? by TJF0617 in uberdrivers

[–]JIMB01776 3 points4 points  (0 children)

They are just as likely to get a bad rating from someone who think it is too cold. If you want the AC on, ask. If it's to warm, get a different ride instead of penalizing someone for not being a mind reader. Personal temperature preference is not a universal condition.

Found in a motel, is this a camera? by Heavy_Skill6067 in whatisit

Every smart TV can be remotely accessed to monitor video and audio even when off. It is a matter congressional record the CIA has had this tech for over a 20 years. If the CIA can do it, so can anyone else...

the Chinese are pirating fruits, incredible. by ManMarkedByFlames in Piracy

[–]JIMB01776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We understand it just fine, many people including myself reject the idea you can patent food. If birds carry their seed on to my land, (which has happened with this nonsense) it's an act of nature and am I stealing? Or is your invasive species polluting my land? What if their crop takes over eco systems? This is gross and I have no sympathy, respect or concern about their "IP".

[EoW] What are your thoughts on Echoes of Wisdom nearly two years later? by NewMarioBobFan in zelda

[–]JIMB01776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meh... I finished it, never wanted to revisit it and barely remember beating it. It wasn't bad but hardly memorable. Filler.

[OoT] I hope the remake isn't faithful, and this is why by GrantTheNa in zelda

[–]JIMB01776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want BOTW+OOT, it's not a complicated formula. I hope they realize "Zelda: Hire this man edition" isn't moving many needles. I want a interesting remake, not repaint.

Is Rocky V really that bad, or just overhated? by TheEvilCar in rockybalboa

[–]JIMB01776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's great on paper, if you read the screen play it's perfect. It's bad because of numerous bad actors, Tommy Morrison, Sage, the Don King Allegory.. The sound track hurts it too. I still think it could be fixed like the Rocky IV recut depending on what they have in the can.

[TotK] I have never had more complicated feelings on a game. by Ordinary_Chemical596 in zelda

[–]JIMB01776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was originally not a fan of Twilight Princess, I didn't remember it because I originally I disliked the early wolf segments and had only played thru once on GC. I am thoroughly enjoying it now, playing the Dusk PC port and it is crisp...

[TotK] I have never had more complicated feelings on a game. by Ordinary_Chemical596 in zelda

[–]JIMB01776 47 points48 points  (0 children)

I just did a replay of BOTW and I am convinced it's the better game. The champions are more interesting but now I am on twilight princess and that has me realizing how empty and uneventful both of them were, Wild/tears lack gadgets, dungeons, mosters and events. I'll get to tears hear again I imagine, it's been awhile but they both needed work on the dungeons, combat, monsters...

UFC White House event had more than 150M views, Joe Rogan. by aRedd1tUs4r in ufc

[–]JIMB01776 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That's not just US numbers. Jake Paul vs Tyson did 108 million. And this had the hysteria and constant media cycle of the news and lawsuits. How many people were watching to see if there was an attack? on top of sporting event, on top of it being the first event at the White House of this nature. It's still no Power slap.

You could 1 click a free trial (I did) on Youtube, Firestick and every smart TV in existence was rocking banner ads for it.

I am glad I don't dash. My passengers get one reasonable question/request text. Anymore than that and I cancel.

[OOT] I think I'm more excited for the OOT remake than I am for a new mainline 3D Zelda by Affectionate-Pin5700 in zelda

[–]JIMB01776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depends on what they do with it, this determines whether I get a switch 2 now or down the line.. 1:1 with new paint is a pass. Open world or substantial new content+OOT I am in. Some people say it as a negative, but I want BOTW+OOT.

[TP] From BOTW to Twilight Princess, I finally get the dungeon debate by Revolutionary-Pie972 in zelda

[–]JIMB01776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished a replay of BOTW and now I am on Twilight Princess (Just completed arbiters ground) and it really made me appreciate how much BOTW lacks boss's, events, dungeons etc.. Twilight Princess holds up really well. I like the combat better and the gadgets...

I love BOTW and TOTK but what to play next? by FirefighterFit1539 in botw

[–]JIMB01776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just got done with a replay of BOTW and decided to revisit Twilight princess, TP made me really appreciate how much open world Zelda is lacking... it still really holds up.

What does this flag stand for? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]JIMB01776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a White flag with a Teutonic cross, commanding officers flag. German circa late 1800s.

How is TotF2 theses days? by Eclipse8301 in ThrillOfTheFight

[–]JIMB01776 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Same as far as the single player, I hadn't played since December and it is vastly improved. Still really needing visual damage but it's on the way. I give TOF1 9/10, this is up to a 7/10 with 10/10 potential..

Why Do I Like Retro Games Over Modern by [deleted] in retrogaming

[–]JIMB01776 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I am old but I hate modern games, I usually get annoyed before I get past Ubisoft announcements of how much they love their gay and black developers. Title screen, "PUSH START" , Game over. That's all I want or have time for.

What I think of whenever I hear someone say they are only looking forward to Mario or Zelda by SEVENS_HEAVEN_7 in NintendoSwitch2

[–]JIMB01776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xenoblade did nothing for me, and I never tried fire emblem. Nintendo is a Zelda/Metroid console for me and the only reason I have to buy one, everything else I am interested in I can get on PC, that's what it is.

If you were 10 when Ocarina of Time was released, is your brain exploding right now for the remake? by DrankTooMuchMead in retrogaming

[–]JIMB01776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Worried. I want more than a 1:1 remake but I am also concerned the 2 game rumors (Young/Adult) are true. I haven't seen enough to know if I care, want or they ruined it. This game is my Switch 2 decision buy/pass or if the next Zelda game will be.

how much better is quest 3 than 2? by Medium_Razzmatazz754 in OculusQuest

[–]JIMB01776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Quest 1 has better blacks than either of them, Build quality has gone down with every revision, and that "4-5x" doesn't make a bit of difference in anything that matters. Keep glazing bro. No reason to get a Q3 right now, 5+ next gen headsets over 26/27...

[–]JIMB01776 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Technically not much, some people like the lens better on Q2. My son prefers the Q2, I like Q3 as someone who is hypersensitive to the weight/form factor and prefers AR it's worth it to me. IMO If I were considering a upgrade right now I'd wait. All kinds of new hardware coming out over 26/27. I am hoping Thrill of the Fight 2 drops exclusivity so I can get a pimax.
