I'd leave eggplant for Indian curry as well. No shame in getting what you deserve. Eggplant was holding you down. 

When I was a kid, my mom clipped the fuck out of coupons, and that’s why we had Fruit Loops for breakfast for months on end. No matter how much you like a food to start, overexposure always ruins it.

I mean if you’re playing it on your switch, you obviously wouldn’t get why people enjoy the better graphics. It’s a great game either way, but it’s exactly as Burnerxabillion said. Now we all got our moneys worth as well, but even more out of it.

You summed it up perfectly. Presentation and gameplay are not mutually exclusive. A superior presentation enhances the experience, it doesn’t replace it.

It’s not really an obsession but a preference. You’re not obsessed if you prefer watching a good movie on a large 4k tv with surround sound vs watching it on an old tube tv. It doesn’t stop the movie from being good, but one experience is still significantly better than the other.

Correct, they’re real job is in the store, not collecting carts. If people returned them, they would be restocking shelves or cleaning up aisle 5.

I hate litterbugs.

I have my own way of dealing with them. PreCovid, I worked daily in Mid-Town Manhattan. Lots of tourists who think nothing of dropping trash in our streets. I was walking behind a pair of obvious tourists. He pulled a candy bar out of his bag, opened it, and give a piece to his girlfriend/SO. He then…

Do you refuse to clean up after yourself in any way when you visit a hotel because that is the cleaning crew’s job? The cart shop guy’s job is to take the carts from the corral back to the store. You don’t need to actively make it more work. Don’t be a lazybones.

I’ve worked on all of those areas, and no, their job is not to go all around the parking lot to pick up carts, it’s simply to make sure there’s enough carts available inside for new customers. It’s also not their only job, for me it wasn’t even my primary job.

I think that person’s job is actually to go out to the cart corral and bring all of the carts back into the store. It is not strictly to first wander all over the parking lot collecting abandoned carts and then bring them in.

I like to live dangerously!

If I had a time machine that could only go back to December 1984, I’d gift his mother a coat hanger for the holidays.

This reminds me of a time when I was out to eat with a distant family member. When the waiter came by to pick up our plates, I stacked mine and handed it to them along with the silverware so they wouldn’t have to lean over to grab everything. After the waiter left, said family member chided me, “You shouldn’t do that.…

“Push the launches back and let the world catch up with itself.”

Like for everyone else, gaming has been a lifeline for what little sanity I have left in this fucking hellscape, but I can’t even pretend to give two shits about next-gen. The Switch’s resounding success seems to point to people preferring experiences over pure graphical power, but that’s all that MS and Sony are…

Wow. I knew he was evil, but wow

Some people who don’t own a PS4 are waiting for the PS5 to play PS4 games. So no, don’t delay. Launch titles are meaningless these days.

The littering section reminded me of a quote from White House Senior Advisor Stephen Miller, when campaigning for student government in his school days:

Threading the bumpers on the conveyor belt edge. You like to play with fire.

Same, I just take the “normal” path and basically wait until the coast is semi-clear before passing the moving barrier segments, as other players knock me off more than the obstacle. Even though you’re under an incoming failstate of slime, patience can still be rewarded in Slime Climb.
