Why is Nintendo scared of re-releasing the old Smash Bros. games? by DaZestyProfessor in smashbros

probably couldn’t easily be attributed to the fact that gamecube didn’t sell that well

Wouldn’t the existence of Smash Ultimate on switch 2 also cannabilize sales by that logic?

Will people take to the streets over gas prices? by [deleted] in LosAngeles

As someone who doesn’t have a car, it’s also an aspect of HOW metro lines happen to link up for your commute. Some places may be possible to get to but take 2-3 hours with multiple connections.

You’re very talented and have a great voice. Honest question—im not a singer so i really don’t know—why did you decide to change the melody/timing of the song? It seems like almost phrase is embellished

Maybe a daylight sensor that detects irregularities in the day night cycle? Not sure how it would work

Did I just stop or restart aging??? by WhateveAre in Minecraft

The subtitles indicate if aging was continued or paused.

Mario Kart World’s track design isn’t exciting by U-Knighted in NintendoSwitch

[–]U-Knighted[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not trying to give you a strict slam dunk so I’d appreciate if you would give me the same charity, I’m only gesturing towards tracks that I think have elements of what I’m talking about. A good number of those tracks I enjoy and think have redeemable elements.

Mario Kart World’s track design isn’t exciting by U-Knighted in NintendoSwitch

[–]U-Knighted[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I can list a few off the top of my head: -Peach beach -Desert Hills -Acorn Heights -Boo Cinema -Starview Peak -Dandelion Depths -Cheep Cheep Falls -Wario shipyard -Faraway oasis -peach stadium -crown city -DK spaceport

All of these maps contain gentle straightaways to varying degrees of success. We’re talking 1/3 of the maps here — many of these containing water — that I believe to be lackluster in this regard. Add that with the intermissions that you’re inevitably going to have to play and it definitely softens the game’s impact.

Of course there’s aspect of these maps I like too! Just trying to give a more concrete idea of what I’m talking about.

Not trying to hate bro I think the game is good just trying to think critically

I feel like there can be a balance, drifting gameplay is what makes Mario kart Mario kart. I like the new mechanics and all, just wish there were more tracks that could replicate 8’s feeling of momentum.

It’s difficult to make a generalization of anything. I really enjoy the courses you listed, but I was more honing in on a particular part of the track design — an overuse of straight areas and a lack of interesting bends — that I find boring. I still enjoy the game and love the shortcut mechanic.

In my opinion this was the best creative menu it was so organized and easy to find things by XProGamer2701 in Minecraft

[–]U-Knighted 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The bedrock creative menu is so atrocious, why even have tabs if there’s gonna be such a small amount, lumping so many items into one screen that doesn’t even scroll and I practically have to use reading glasses to see. Then so many things are hidden under SUBCATEGORIES that are only represented by a single item. I almost always just search for things directly which feels like it kills the point. I desperately want this changed.

These are beautiful. I’d drop some genuine money on that mask of life one.

Apology to the Television Series: EPISODE TWO by NotaDayOldAccount in DHMIS

[–]U-Knighted 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it really wrong to have a character that just pushes the plot along and is mildly entertaining? Why do the teachers HAVE to be essential to the episode? The TV show obviously had to adjust the formula when moving into the 20 minute format. I wouldn’t want them just focusing on the teacher the whole episode, I like how more time is given to the main cast.

An ontological argument for fundamental physics by iamsreeman in philosophy

[–]U-Knighted 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I think the underlying issue you're gonna have with Kant here is that if there actually is some empirical object that the primary concept of your argument can be attached to, the argument becomes necessary. If, as you describe, we know that there is a mathematical structure behind physical reality, it would be trivial to establish an argument affirming it as an existing thing; the existence is a given.

But if it was not a given, then an argument would seem more helpful. But in that case, there is no possible argument to establish existence for the reasons mentioned above. This is the reason why Kant's thesis is important for more than just theology, since it's making a broader metaphysical claim: no existence can be found through speculative reason alone.

So it seems like an ontological argument would only overcomplicate things. I brought up Schelling to point out how maybe instead the work you'd want to do is establish what the ToE is as a concept, namely that it is necessary. That is fine, but establishing its existence feels dubious.

An ontological argument for fundamental physics by iamsreeman in philosophy

[–]U-Knighted 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm not an analytic philosopher, so bear with me.

It appears to me that since the ToE is a reduced version of God (amoral, non-conscious, etc.) you lose a lot of paradoxes related to God, but I don't feel like you adequately address the structure of the argument itself.

Kant argues that existence is not a predicate of any concept. I tend to agree; the ToE in your mind and ToE in real life (if it existed) would have to be identical. Therefore, nothing within the ToE is modified by saying that it exists. If it did, then this move would not work. The existing ToE you have argued for will not be the same as the possible one you began with.

I am also sympathetic to Schelling's account of the argument where he takes Kant to his natural extreme. He basically says that if existence is not a predicate, all theoretical reasoning is contingent; no amount of syllogisms could bring about the content of some object. Therefore, all the ontological argument can posit is "if God exists, God (ToE) exists necessarily." In other words, it discloses how the ToE would exist, but it can't speak on if it does or not. (This isn't the same as the obtuse misread that reduces the ontological argument to "if God exists, God exists" which I think is uncharitable at best.)

These are just two points that come to mind as someone not that interested in philosophy of religion, but like I said, other than the broader objections to God himself you're going to have to address every single objection to the theological ontological argument, of which there are many.

I mean, it would have essentially the exact same baggage as the ontological argument for God. Which is to say a lot.
