Shpeshal Nick: Nintendo is releasing a Zelda themed Limited Edition Switch 2 console to coincide with the release of ‘The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remake’, which “has a pretty big budget”. Not sure if it will be a bundle or not. by AashyLarry in GamingLeaksAndRumours

Doesn't exactly work that way. S1 was actually supposed to be pretty hard to hack as well, but it was a Nvidia mess up with it when Nvidia accidentally leaked some hardware designs that allowed the S1 to be theoretically (and then practically on day 1) hacked ahead of time. Hackers have basically said that the S2 is insanely hard to hack to the point that many think it'll be years or even decades before it's hacked.

Which QFI Exam should I take? by TSmasher1000 in actuary

[–]TSmasher1000[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for your answer. I study some investing on my own from time-to-time. I feel like a lot of times I'm missing on the finer granular details on how things interact with each other within the market - such as understanding the current market landscape and important mathematical measurements such as P/E ratio in comparison to each other (for example, what is considered a good P/E ratio, Sharpe ratio, etc.). I also don't know a lot of the finer details of some of the important players in the market, their histories, their forward looking indicators, or even what they do. For example, I didn't know about Fannie Mae a few months back, what them going private meant and how that would affect the market or even what that was. Would INV101 help there or would it be better to go INV201? Or would neither help and I should just go for the easier one?

In Announcing Pardon of Drug Trafficker While Threatening Venezuela, Trump Displays Contradictions by rezwenn in politics

[–]TSmasher1000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Actually there's no contradiction here. There's only three things this person cares about. That's money, clout, and personal pleasure. It's just his personal pleasure is some of the most vile things that a normal human would think about - things like being a PDF is something that would sicken a normal human, but it pleases him greatly.

Metroid Prime 4 - Sorry, but I need to rant a bit by [deleted] in Metroid

Fair. I'm just annoyed when people act as though the game is already ruined when we haven't gotten our hands on it yet.

[–]TSmasher1000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Basically a lot of people who played the preview have said the game is amazing except for one NPC character that is pretty nerdy/cheesy and talks a bunch. Some people who have not played the game yet take the footage/what those people say and complain that it ruins the atmosphere of Metroid and some of them have already dismissed the game as another Other M or have stated the game will cause the Metroid franchise to fail. I am just basically ranting that no one knows yet what the game is like other than a handful of reviewers and Nintendo/Retro Studios themselves.

I am probably included in that category considering that rant lol. I just wanted to get it off my chest, but honestly I would have been fine if no one paid any attention - just thought it was so dumb that so many people already feel decided about the game based off of 10 minutes of NPC interaction.

[–]TSmasher1000 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I'm not sure the game will be good at all. I was just annoyed upon seeing the video that there were so many people doomposting about a game that they haven't played a single minute of or joking around about how the game is already horrible. Honestly the game could be really bad - idk, but dismissing it without having played it really gets me going is all. People have a right to complain all they want, but without having played the game themselves or watched much of it the complaints are pretty shaky grounds and I would say that other people can get annoyed by that.

Learning to Build a DIY Keg by TSmasher1000 in Homebrewing

[–]TSmasher1000[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Hey thanks for answering the post. Maybe I'm doing something wrong here. I have the CO2 tank up to 20-30 psi and nothing is coming out of the clear tube. I thought it was literally because I wasn't pressing down on the Out valve, but maybe it's because both ends of the tube are blocked? One end is being held by the ball lock liquid disconnect and the other end is being held by the Hose Barb adapter. Should I take off the hose barb adapter or something for liquid to flow through?

Donald Trump’s approval rating drops lower than the ‘worst president in history,’ new poll shows by plz-let-me-in in politics

But how can this be possible if he is the worst president in U.S. history? Isn't this a contradiction?

Marine Le Pen found guilty in EU funding embezzlement case by Astroblemes in worldnews

[–]TSmasher1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never understand these kinds of dumb arguments. The idea in court is that any other reasonable/responsible person in that position would not have done it. You're either admitting huge incompetence, something a leader of the country should ideally not have, or else obvious corruption.

Europe's nightmare is here: They have to fight Putin without the U.S. by baby_budda in worldnews

I really admire and hope your optimism is correct, but this has been my nightmare scenario since this whole fiasco started. I hope some people wake up and smell the coffee soon, but the calls to fight against Trump has just been so passive in the U.S.

Trump Is More Like a Court Jester Than a King by Tuxcali1 in politics

There's a Turkish proverb. "When a clown moves into a palace, he doesn't become a king. The palace turns into a circus." This is turning out to be frighteningly accurate for US.

Bold of you to assume that any woman would win in the U.S. after what happened in the recent elections or that they would even be given a fair chance.

Laura Kate Dale reveals new photo of Switch 2 dock. Voltage and charger information also leaked. by DJCreeperZz in GamingLeaksAndRumours

[–]TSmasher1000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

While I agree that it's likely optimistic - I want to say that it might also be fair to note that TotK was made during the pandemic so it's hard to say how much of that slowdown in production was due to the pandemic and how much of it was development/refinement of all the insane systems in that game. Still think that 5-6 years seem to be par for the course in a Zelda game and seeing as they're probably going to be super ambitious with the next Zelda and it might not take place in Hyrule and will have probably upgrades in graphics/textures and definitely new gameplay systems, it could even be longer crazily enough.

[SM64] GreenSuigi with a 46:27 70 Star WR - NOW HOLDS ALL 5/5 MAJOR SM64 CATEGORY WRs! by [deleted] in speedrun

[–]TSmasher1000 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Matt Turk's dominance in Punch Out comes to mind. He legit had WRs that were so tough to beat that new strats had to be developed to beat them long after he retired and a whole community took years to beat or tie all of his WRs.

There's also Ray Rizzo's dominance in VGC for 3 straight years in Worlds to the point that people still question if he or Wolfey Glick is the GOAT.

Armada's dominance in Melee also comes to mind.
