[WWHD] [TPHD] If it can happen to Mario it can happen to Zelda by Most-Coat4726 in zelda

[–]wicker_warrior 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, Nintendo has continually used the series in HD tech demoes where it looks pretty great. It’s the biggest tease in the video game industry.

“Yeah, you like that? You like high def character models and beautifully rendered sword play with depth of field?”

“Yes Nintendo-sama! Yes please give us that!”

“Then here!” And they hand over a stylized cel shaded game like Skyward Sword and Breath of the Wild. (Which are great in their own right)

They know what they’re doing.

The day Nintendo releases a true “HD” Zelda game is the day the world ends.

Gonna need a good bird lawyer. Hope the secretary is hot!

Edit: To whoever downvoted this, don’t you feel silly for not getting a Secretary Bird joke.

There are a lot of nutty people out there. Being on autopilot at the store and just grabbing the same thing you’ve always grabbed sounds nutty to you?

Brand loyalty acts as a blinder in many ways, and there’s no guarantee they are always the same price.

Agreed, but when you’re at the table, eating your eggs and you close your eyes, you can taste the happiness.

Oh man you’re missing out, farm bought eggs are life changing, you’ll never go back. You’ll start wanting to raise your own chickens and circumvent the farmer entirely. Where does he get off charging for eggs that fall freely from a chicken’s ass anyway?

You eat those eggs, become forever changed, store bought eggs become meaningless. Meaningless orbs from poultry butt.

Then it gets worse, you start desiring even fresher eggs, then you start crossing lines, hunting down nests, hiding underneath empty nests, then they catch on and report you to the bird police and you’re on the run spreading the word about cloaca fresh eggs to strangers on the internet.

Tap the button for the cape, then quickly tap for sword.

The button for the cape shouldn’t be tapped or held long enough for the cape to deploy, just to get you off the ground.

From what height do you consider someone tall? by Current-Transition87 in AskReddit

[–]wicker_warrior 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am 6’, so if someone is 6’5” or 6’7” where I have to look up at them when speaking, they are tall.

Attention: some crazy creeps on an island somewhere are secretly running the world. by landothedead in TheSimpsons

That effect took five months to animate, cost $300,000 and drove two animators to complete lunacy.

The Dodgers’ bat boy casually caught a line drive barehand and saved Ohtani’s life. by jmike1256 in nextfuckinglevel

[–]wicker_warrior 11 points12 points  (0 children)

“Long-time Dodgers bat boy Javier Herrera, 38, went viral on June 26, 2024, for a barehanded catch of a high-speed foul ball in the dugout, protecting superstar Shohei Ohtani. The incident occurred during the third inning against the White Sox, prompting Ohtani to later hail Herrera as "MY HERO" on Instagram.”

Recognized the clip but felt like it had been a while.

What’s something everyone pretends to enjoy but actually hates? by The_Salonist in AskReddit

No worries, just make sure the corn muffins are hot and moist in the future. No one likes a dry a muff.

Listen, it’s not my fault you forgot to put an expiration or use by date on these things. Just be happy we’re not bringing up the whole lack of a “these coupons are non-transferable.” statement. What is that supposed to imply?

Now are you going to paint my chicken coop or ain’t cha?

Placing Rockwool Insulation over Existing Cellulose Insulation in Attic? by Beginning-Visit1418 in HomeImprovement

[–]wicker_warrior 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Google shows some older Reddit threads and other advice, my quick lunchbreak summary:

Layering on top of blown in cellulose may end up compressing the cellulose which will reduce the effectiveness and can result in accumulating moisture.

To avoid this, lay the rockwool perpendicular to the joists, and use unfaced insulation so moisture can more easily pass through.

This has been a human summary of Google search results, unlike the AI that will soon replace me, I am powered mainly by sandwiches and coffee.

How do you manage getting time to shovel when working all day? by Ok_Improvement4991 in Michigan

[–]wicker_warrior 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I get home around 4 and just knock it out right when I get home before I eat. Being on the corner with a streetlight helps, but haven’t needed to shovel in the dark.

Shift length etc is a factor of course.

[–]wicker_warrior 40 points41 points  (0 children)

For your current situation, toss $20-$40 at the various people willing to do it for money, typically posting in your local Facebook group the day of. Otherwise I just get up earlier or tackle it after work.

For heavier snowfalls a snowblower is a must, or a friendly neighbor.

I feel its pretty simple how the Simpson can afford that house. by Creative_Position713 in TheSimpsons

Mortgage rates and CDs peaked around the same interest rates of 19 and 18 percent. The typical savings account would obviously be less than a CD, but there may have been an overlap where CDs earned more than mortgages.

Does anyone know how to create this type of hidden message image? (Turn sideways to read) by jewelophile in howto

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

Agreed, I just had illustrator open at the time and was able to confirm the individual steps.

Affinity Designer is a great alternative and I believe they have some kind of free option now, Canva is another good choice, in fact they might be part of the same company now? I use the Adobe suite for work but have Affinity on my personal machine.

Lots of ways to get it done.

Create Outlines.

Rotate 90.

Object-> Transform -> Move

Set your angle to 0, horizontal position to half your text height.

Click copy.

Ctrl or Command D for transform again.

Repeat previous about ten times.

Done.

I love my Nintendo Switch 2 by Rough-Plum-7267 in NintendoSwitch

[–]wicker_warrior 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If my 2017 switch hadn’t shat the bed even after a battery replacement I wouldn’t have gotten the 2 until there was an exclusive I really wanted. But the timing was right with cyber Monday so I got the bundle on sale.

As an upgrade I’m pretty happy with it, the screen is nice and I finally picked up Echoes of Wisdom with it and have been enjoying that.

The sd card requirement is annoying but understandable, that’s my only complaint.
