No, I was saying that I’ve been told to NOT zipper merge and instead intentionally pass multiple spots where one could merge to get all the way to the “point of no return” and then block an active lane of traffic while waiting to merge.  Which is wrong.  

Wow this got some heat. I am not referring to zipper vs not-zipper merging.

Played mariokart64, ran just fine. I didn’t go in expecting perfection though. Admittedly haven’t played Ocarina on it yet but if the problems are widespread I’m sure a patch will be issued. At this point it sounds like much to do about nothing.

“Don’t get over when you see the ‘lane ends’ sign or near the beginning of the merge zone for an exit, no, drive around the waiting line of cars and cut in front of everyone.”

I remember having to get rid of my GOTY edition and purchase a standard edition.

3-point seatbelts are designed to allow movement. In a side-impact they’re designed to guide the body toward the center of the car and downward, along the path of the shoulder belt (theoretically) moving you away from whatever hit you from the side. The lap belt is meant to keep you from flying through the windshield.

For some reason this feels like money laundering.  Not sure why.  Just does.  Maybe it’s because it was purchased with BTC, idk.

Fun fact: that giant glass hatch on a thirdgen can explode and make you think a shotgun has gone off next to your head if you’re trying to remove a decklid from a junkyard car and don’t realize the hatch is in a bind.

Just remembered my favorite: Ziptie on the driveshaft. When they drive off they’ll hear an awful “smack smack smack” and think something horrible is wrong.

Another one, simple, but also good.

Simple but good.

I appreciate the coordinate system. Typically good for a few measly points of partial credit on any engineering quiz/exam.

All-time favorite has got to go to the Ganondorf/Ganon sequence at the end of Ocarina of Time. I younger me playing through it, thinking “man, I beat him!. . .oh wait, the castle is falling down! ....HE CAN KNOCK MY SWORD OUT OF MY HAND???”
