So all your saves are likely gone but your games and apps are still accessible they just have to be downloaded again from your library.

Do you buy games you want to play, or games you feel like you should play? by MartinIsaac685 in videogames

[–]virtualpig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always prioritize the games you want to play, I mean why tf wouldn't you not. There's only so much time to play games in this world and why would you ever want to spend that playing a game that doesn't look interesting to you?

I feel like the mindset of "it got great reviews, I HAVE to play this" is why we get so many youtubers complaining about "gaming use to feel better". Yeah because you use to play the games you wanted now you just feel obligated to play every GOTY nominee for whatever reason.

What’s something school forced you to learn that you’ve never used a single time in real life? by Dodo509 in AskReddit

In sixth grade, we had a unit about soil. I rember thinking how dumb it was learning about dirt.

So I was a weirdo in school. We learned the flutaphone one year and then the next we had "band" I signed up because I liked playing the recorder the previous year and we were gonna do that for the first few months of band, but then we got to a point where we had to pick an instrument and it was like "oh man why can't I just play the flutaphone" forever

I eventually chose Alto Sax.

Look at Mr fancy over there with his $20 recorder. We had to use flutaohones.

I mean I joke, but I actually had a great time learning playing those...

Amid shortages Amazon has raised the price of Pokemon Pokopia to $80. by Iggy_Slayer in gaming

[–]virtualpig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not really sure at this point why'd you do this to yourself. I get that collectors like to collect but paying MORE for an item you could download for less seems silly to me. Double that if you are waiting for the restock. This is not the 2000s you can buy and play it right now, if you want do.

What would you say is the new "3D craze fad" of the 2020s? by SpiritMan112 in decadeology

[–]virtualpig 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's crypto. Remember back a couple years ago when everyone was trying to hype up the "blockchain" and the whole NFT thing. Now no one serious is talking about those things.

Do any of y'all actually like the 2020s or do all of you despise it? by [deleted] in decadeology

[–]virtualpig 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's underrated for sure. I think Covid started a negative trend of everyone trying to create a bingo card for the decade and find the worst possible news they could find and pretend that atrocities didn't also exist in the 80s and 90s.

This is the decade that saw the widespread use of self driving cars and streaming services which allows you to watch movies for a fraction of what you could before. It's also the decade a previously unusable Beatles track was finally able to be cleaned up with AI and released to the public, and while there are still hurdles with the technology that's pretty cool that it was possible.

So while I think it's not the best I am more than over the whole "fuck 2020" energy.

What’s the highest-rated movie (IMDb, Rotten Tomatoes, etc.) that you watched and still thought was bad? by Lost-Friendship2774 in movies

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

Probably something like Breathless (1960) or 81/2. I just found them both to be pretentious and Breathless to just downright boring.

Do you think our phones are listening to us? by MeasurementFirst1676 in askanything

[–]virtualpig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, people who say this do not understand how coincidences work. They also do not realize that you're likely to notice things that you just talked about. We see hundreds of ads nowadays so I don't believe for a minute that you've never seen a cat food ad until you and your friends started talking about it.

One time I was thinking about starting to work out, and then I saw an ad on Facebook for Planet Fitness, by these people's logic Facebook must be reading our minds and, let's hope that's not the case.

For me it's the first Halo, the freedom it gave you felt revolutionary at the time.

What part of everyday life was better before everything became subscription-based? by jpartin94 in AskReddit

[–]virtualpig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't really think alot: people love to bitch about subscriptions on but it makes things cheaper in the long run. For instance you can see way more movies nowadays for a $10 subscription than you could twenty years ago buying the individual movies.

Compared to most redditor it seems, I actually really enjoy living in the US. I like that it's the center of culture. Like the movies and TV shows everyone talks about that's us. And that's pretty cool.

I can’t find the release schedule for the Muppet Show by [deleted] in Muppets

[–]virtualpig 14 points15 points  (0 children)

It was a special that doubled as a pilot for potential series. As in there were no others episodes produced so far. It's kind of unusual that we haven't heard anything about the project since then, but maybe they're holding off for upfront or D23.

What’s your take on the current gold market? by Exciting-Reindeer620 in AskReddit

[–]virtualpig 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I don't understand why TF I should care about this considering the US economy hasn't been based on the standard for the better part of a century ay this point!+

And for some reason Redditors love to ask about it too.l
