Am I thinking about this incorrectly or is there a legitimate argument for changing the current grammatical norms?

You are thinking of it incorrectly. Language shifts and grammar shifts with it. Grammar "rules" are guidelines on how language is most commonly used to get ideas across.

It's still important to teach grammar because it gives someone the tools to convey their ideas in a way that most people will understand, but outside of a classroom it's pointlessly pedantic to correct someone's grammar unless their meaning gets muddled.

So maybe usage will shift enough that "deers" will be the new standard plural maybe not, the important thing is you know what they meant when they said "deers".

I think Nintendo already owns the rights to most (if not all) of the music for their games so I'm pretty sure your conspiracy theory is correct.

If they don't own the rights to that music they've certainly been militant in taking down any other platform that makes it available.

It basically boils down to the same thing as the complaint "software piracy is theft" when talking about sales (or votes) that likely wouldn't have happened anyway.

There is a GitHub project working on a recompilation of both of these for PC. They've got Majora's Mask working and are working on OoT. Looks beautiful, runs buttery smooth, and has custom controls with a free camera.

I've tried it and have a few thoughts:

Initial selection is only 23 games, not sure why they're not just releasing everything. I guess they're planning on parceling the music out like their emulators.

The choices of games are also kind of strange, like why 2 versions of Metroid? Why starfox 64 and not like Mario 64

The ability to extend songs up to 60 minutes is pretty cool

The idea of character specific playlists is interesting

It crashes semi frequently, not a good sign.

It does add value to the Switch online membership, but not much at this point.

Yes, and then everyone on the ship is impregnated with his lizard babies

Sure, crazy video, but you don't know whether his girlfriend wasn't raped and killed by Hamas on October 7th last year.

This is saying "hey don't judge this guy attacking random unicef workers unconnected to the people he hates while spewing hate. He might be having a hard time".

You display no empathy for the people experiencing this assault, only for its perpetrator. Your further opinions regarding genocide can be inferred from there.

No, don't dirty delete just because you got downvotes. Instead open your mind to the replies and try to understand why you got so many (hint: It's because you were trying to excuse a violent assault, by an obviously hateful person, using lies promoted by an army that's currently committing genocide).

A better analogy would have been "Selling ice to penguins"

I would like to believe this, unfortunately the large number of very old assholes seems to indicate otherwise.
