Oh, yeah, like there isn't a truckload of perfect ports of games 1 or 2 gens past the PS2 on regular switch.

Have you seen the average Mushroom Kingdom animal? That scene does not look quite the same when your animal friends are some giant red beetles, sentient plants with huge teeth and freaking fire-breathing triceratops.

Capacitive buttons on anything are annoying, they're unreliable as fuck. They might trigger with the slightest accidental touch, but then they'll act like your finger doesn't exist for a dozen pushes.

Making the world a better place by brutally murdering anyone who's slightly misbehaving, one at a time.

Obligatory what the fuck is wrong with how the US pays service people.

Tipping is for special appreciation, not basic sustenance.

All that time we though image generation AI couldn't count, really it has been telling us to invent more fingers.

Okay, I'm all for good, complete education, but blaming people not understanding media on "too much STEM" is a bit ridiculous.

I am surprised the reason for blocking ads doessn't include making sites somewhat readable. I guess faster loading could be it? But generally it's more of a layout problem than a bandwidth one.

I tend to not use adblockers, or when I do it's on a black list system for worst offenders rather than by default. However, I absolutely refuse tracking, and if it's the only option I go to firefox reader mode immediately.

The usual false dichotomy of "personalised ads or you're killing us!" is not acceptable.

Fucking YouTube shorts.

Every content creator has to partake in the stupidity because it's that or becoming an algorithm outcast, so they awkwardly cut bits of their videos just to post a couple of those.

And then YouTube forces them in everyone's throat, with absolutely no regard for the medium and no option to filter them out.

No, YouTube, I won't watch your stupidly formatted 10-second bits of nothing on my TV.

Yeah, but you know, danger in the pokémon world is relative.

The worst thing that can happen when you face mafia/terrorists/wannabe dictators is they will make your rat fight theirs. I guess they'll take your lunch money every time you lose, so that's a thing.

"If we can't get money from targeted far-right fake news anymore, we are going to pretend an achievement of basic social equality from a century ago is now a controversial opinion too"

Meta, probably.

People that are completely desensitized to that kind of stuff would probably not be very good at moderating it really.

Also this is a terrible job and I'd be very worried if a company was paying and enabling people who find that fun. It's horrible, but trauma is the normal outcome.
