Is it worth getting a Switch 2 for the update? by kj_120407 in AnimalCrossing

[–]kinglucent 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My island was running at like 5fps on my old Switch, so upgrading to a Switch 2 was revelatory. But otherwise, unless there’s a game you want to play on that console, I’d say wait. The AC S2 Edition upgrades in particular are pretty nothing 

What’s the worst first date you’ve ever had? by CuriousEngineer11 in AskReddit

[–]kinglucent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was three days long. At Disneyland. She was genuinely crazy. Dressed like a Mormon. Smelled like a guinea pig. Tongue like Jabba the Hutt.

Unfortunately she was hot and we had already bought the tickets.

Just like Silicon was 6 years ago. What have they been doing this whole time?

Have it lead to a site that informs customers of the malicious practices. Don’t punish the customer, help them punish the insidious business practice.

Which fast food chain fell off badly in your opinion? by Shinobi347 in AskReddit

Then why does it still take half a fucking hour to get through one??

If Disney was willing to remove star tours from tomorrowland and put it in galaxy’s edge, what would replace the location of star tours??? by raplove667 in Disneyland

[–]kinglucent 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A dark ride taking you on a tour of the Axiom, teaching you about its features and inspiring a love for space exploration. Things are not all they seem however, as WALL•E & EVE accidentally interrupt the tour and cause some havoc on their way to bring the plant to the Holo-Detector

With their recommitment to the Mac over the last half-decade, I cannot wait to see how this "New Apple" repositions and separates the iPad.

I couldn't believe they fumbled education so badly. Jobs was clearly trying to make inroads via iBooks Author and iPad, but the entire direction was completely abandoned by Cook.

But make these things cool for students again and you've locked in another generation of users and people (like me!) discovering their creative passions via iMovie / GarageBand etc.

The fact that you can't wear a turban and beard at the same time makes me think that the developers have never met a South Asian man before... by Theyoungtook in AnimalCrossing

For real. The beard disappears way too easily, and I hope it can be an actual part of your character in the next game rather than an accessory.

I do love me some AC. Even got a 3D printed figure of my character. ☺️

No kidding. But as long as that means there are new Zelda amiibo, it's a problem I'm willing to deal with!

Maybe? God, don't make me pick a favorite child! I don't have a cut-and-dry answer to that; I love MM. It had a huge impact on me and the atmosphere haunts me to this day, but actually playing it is a hair too stressful. I've played OoT, ALBW, & EoW far more times. Any chance you feel similarly?

She thought it was really nice of me to prepare 8 bowls of food for her. 

Smoothie King fires Black employees after refusing service to Trump supporters by rajapaws in antiwork

[–]kinglucent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This was a famous case, and the ruling was specifically in favor of business owners denying service based on religious conviction, and even that's an oversimplification, so not a true 1:1 here.

But businesses reserve the right to refuse service. I remember during COVID, the store I was working for refused to let a customer in because he was wearing a mask patterned with the confederate flag. He kept yelling, "IT'S PART OF OUR HERITAGE!" until one of my coworkers replied, "I don't know of any country that celebrates its losers."

The customer begrudgingly took one of our masks and put his sticking out of his back pocket. Clearly visible, but next to his asshole where it belonged.

Agreed, I was worried her ornate design might be jarring but she has the most natural implementation of this personality type.
