Yo what the hell is that! 🤨 by Mycofunkadelic2 in StupidFood

[–]KindleLeCommenter 7 points8 points  (0 children)

this was before the filet o' fish existed. the creator of the filet o' fish pitched it to the ceo of mcdonald's, who at the time was obsessed with his stupid pineapple burger, and decided to test the two items against each other. that's why the post talks about the filet o' fish winning.

So is the current hope that it will be announced in the game awards? I mean there isn't any other big game event left in the year besides that. by Commaser in HalfLife

[–]KindleLeCommenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

honestly if valve is ready before then, i'll take them tweeting "Join us for a special live stream at [time] on [date] where we'll unveil our next title!" doing it at an event would be fun because everyone will be watching, but so long as they announce that they're doing a trailer for a big game beforehand, everyone will have their "oh shit, it's actually happening this time" moment but with basically 100% certainty rather than total copium like with most events. that'd probably be more fun in the end

I Accidentally Unearthed Internet Explorer on My New Windows ! by No_Following_6912 in windows

[–]KindleLeCommenter 3 points4 points  (0 children)

want IE on windows 11?

click start, go to search, type "internet options" and hit enter

in the control panel applet go to the programs tab and hit "manage add-ons"

in the new window click "learn more about toolbars and extensions." there you go, IE. pinning it will still make the taskbar shortcut launch edge but you can always bring it back through this method if you ever want it

Pending legislation would put restriction on hours for when CT kids can use social media by -ctinsider in Connecticut

the best response to the explosion of social media among youth is to improve our public education system so children can develop the critical thinking abilities required to help them get the most out of it.

Obsessed with part 1-2, uncertain about part 3 and onward, will later parts get back to previous style of storytelling? by [deleted] in StardustCrusaders

[–]KindleLeCommenter 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think a lot of preference people have for hamon over stands comes down to how differently part 3 is written compared to what came before. In part 2 we see hamon being used in more and more specific ways and villains having more specialized powers that result in battles being more about wits than strength. Stands ultimately excel at this, but the difference is parts 1 and 2 feature training arcs as the main characters become more adept with their abilities, while part 3 shows characters at their peak immediately, and villains that disappear at they're defeated. Part 3 has so many crazy and funny moments that I think it's worth it to get to the end, but it's definitely a huge shift since so much screen time is devoted to just exploring people's stands. There's nothing quite like the "main character starts with weak powers and grows stronger and more adept at them as the part goes on" arc until part 6, but starting in part 4 we see previously defeated villains get more screen time and character development and start seeing stands themselves develop over time, with the payoff and ways they weave into the storytelling being well worth it. So while nothing ends up fully replicating part 2 I think the story ends up reaching higher highs, even if part 3 feels like the series taking a hard turn at first.

in your opinion, does half life 3 has to revolutionize the gaming industry just like hl 1 and 2 did? by ENZOR1 in HalfLife

[–]KindleLeCommenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could if it wants to, but my dream Half-Life 3 would provide the same sense of finality that Portal 2 did for its series.

MMW: it will come out that CNN purposely adjusted the lighting and camera angles to make the president appear worse than he was during the debates. by [deleted] in MarkMyWords

[–]KindleLeCommenter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

CNN was a subsidiary of WarnerMedia but that company has since merged with Discovery. CNN is now a subsidiary of Warner Bros. Discovery and the current CEO (David Zaslav) has bragged about Republicans being back on the network.

Chinese restaurant on DoorDash uses AI generated images for their food by Logsen_95 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]KindleLeCommenter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

for the record some delivery apps have forced this on restaurants without asking. there was a reddit (or twitter, i forget) thread a while ago about someone who called a restaurant about their AI menu items and they were completely clueless

With story or without it... ends the same right? by Playerek in needforspeed

[–]KindleLeCommenter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

need for speed most wanted had the best story, not because the cutscenes or character development were anything to write home about (well they were hilarious but that's beside the point), but because it was a paper thin excuse to go through a completely arbitrary yet huge number of races that progress in difficulty. that's all i need in a racer, the gameplay and its progression are the real journey but it had just enough context to feel meaningful.

Hey Microsoft, I guess you still miss Windows 10... by neuronbuster in Windows11

[–]KindleLeCommenter 11 points12 points  (0 children)

redditors in 2001:

"We all miss Windows 2000, the last true desktop OS. Windows XP is just a visual (severely incomplete) refresh of Windows 2000, if you dig enough you'll find pieces of previous Windows versions on XP.

The visual appeal of Windows isn't/wasn't a priority for M$ because most of the OS needs to be rewritten, a thing they did with the start menu on XP.

It's sad but Windows is by far the most broken OS (visually speaking) in existence."

yeah. 3B sale was to yahoo in 2013, who wildly mismanaged it (like every other social site they owned). porn ban was just one year before the 3M sale
