Indeed. I would also love to know the racial composition of the people who dig through ancient tweets in order to re-traumatize minorities and ruin other people’s careers, with zero culpability on their part.

Why the fuck do we care what a 17yo tweeted in 2011? She should have known that 10 years later she might be in a public position where a tiny, tiny fraction of people will lose their shit over something dumb she said when she was a teenager.

My goal is to finish AC Valhalla this weekend. I’ve put so many pointless hours into this stupid fucking game I just want it to be OVER. I did so much grinding and exploring that I now just have to finish the last few main missions and the game will be platinumed. I think this is the first game I’ve ever…

Odyssey was so fun. It was the first AC game I played, which is kind of unfortunate because I’ve hated every other one I’ve played.

Dude is about to have the best selling jersey in the NBA. Like how that dogshit country singer tripled his sales when fans saw that video of him using the N-word.

LOL they really fired her for making a bad analogy. This is all so dumb.

No, of course. My issue wasn’t with how they were composed but the argument that the originals are “better” and that the remasters somehow ruin it. That, to me, is absolute nonsense. Kondo, and other composers were absolutely masterful in achieving incredible results despite the limitations at the time.

I listened to each one, bucko. I also listed to many others on Youtube. But go off, you really nailed me, lol.

Of course it is. The issue isn’t the technical limitations but the quality of the music. The composer would know how the music would or could sound, absent those limitations. This isn’t about modern tools.

Oh, you have lots of guarantees, huh? Cool. Do you know him? Have you interviewed him? LOL. Everyone in this thread seems to know his intentions and what was going through his mind as he was composing. Okay!

It’s not my opinion that is objective. It is the quality of the music. In the same way that, like I said, the visuals would be objectively better if you, say, ran your console through a Framemeister or whatever instead of the crappy cables that came with the console.

LOL. The responses to this. Of course it was a compromise. Because they were forced to deal with technical limitations. I’m not attempting to establish what is “pure and correct.” I don’t even know what that means. How on earth is anything I said here any different than OP saying he prefers the “original” because…

Some of the responses are odd. People seem shocked that dudes in the 70s (and 80s and 90s and now) mess around with underage girls. It’s like I hate to break it to you, but name a musician/actor/filmmaker/etc. from that era and the odds are very good he was engaged in this kind of thing. We get so selectively shocked…

This is like saying there’s no reason to get a lossless, high quality remaster of a classic album because you have a 192k MP3 on your Zune. Or having a retro console and saying upscalers and RGB monitors are bad because the technical limitations at the time wouldn’t allow you to get the best possible image.

This is so stupid. If businesses can enact “no shirt, no shoes, no service,” then why can’t they mandate masks?

I just throw on a bunch of cologne before I leave the house. Helps maintain healthy social distancing, too. Now that’s a lifehack!

I don’t know what it is about the fantasy food drafts that brings out the wrong opinions in people. 99% of the time there is an objective winner and then all the comments derail into what wasn’t picked, which is like complaining you can’t draft Walter Payton for your current fantasy football team. The pool is limited…

This was one of the worst SNL episodes I’ve ever seen. Top to bottom, even though you can usually at least guarantee a laugh or two from weekend update if nothing else, this was absolute trash. Krasinksi gave such a terrible performance in every sketch that I cannot believe I ever thought he was good in anything.

As a parent, I can confirm that the only way to subdue a 9yo is to handcuff her and pepper spray her. For her safety.

Oh, gotcha. It’s the media’s fault. It’s definitely not the Republicans fault. The people who refuse to censure this racist, lying lunatic. But will absolutely censure anyone who tries to hold Trump accountable for his actions.
