I never had an issue with it either because I can't imagine caring about that poo poo, it's a game about stealing cars and shooting people+blowing things up. This is why I hated 4 and 5 compared to the best GTA of all time, San Andreas. The more they take the story/characters seriously, the worse off the game is. The first time I played 4 and I died by driving like I always do in video games where I'd usually need a new car every couple minutes really turned me off of the whole game. It is pretty telling that I have 8 hours total played on GTA 4 and 5 combined and over 1000 on san andreas. It's just better.

hawowanlawow posted:GTA IV has the most fun driving physics of the GTA games by a country mile I just can't agree with that. To be fair and not pretend like SA is perfect, that game has probably the worst flying experience in any game ever made. I never got far enough in the new ones to see how flying is (if it is in the game) but it really can't get any worse. That flying through rings challenge was some frustrating bullshit.

Yeah that's not an unpopular opinion, just a really stupid one. Rice has a very distinct flavor, as does tofu. Accept that some people just don't like a certain type of food for reasons that aren't "wow that guy is such a racist".

Nah. Every person I've seen that hates tofu is at least an rear end in a top hat. I wasn't aware that anyone disliked rice though. I was just using it as an example of something ludicrous and irrational to dislike.

I think I can solve this disagreement. Tofu as sold in the Asian store definitely has a noticeable taste, and it can be a bit sour so it's not absurd to dislike it. Tofu sold to white people as a meat substitute doesn't really taste of anything unless it's deliberately flavored to taste meat-like. Tofu that is flavored to imitate meat won't quite taste like real meat, so people who would rather eat meat think it tastes bland or bad. Rice has a flavor, but in the same way that noodles or potatoes do, it's almost certainly gonna get overpowered by whatever you eat it with. Different types of rice even taste different, I have a huge rice recipe book that lays it all out in detail.

Even if I acknowledge that tofu doesn't taste like anything, why would I be eating it when I have a whole world of other things to eat that actually taste like something?

Irrational tofu hate is just lame macho bs, the same people who use tofu as an example of gross food just mean that it doesn't have the Offical Ron Swanson Seal of Manliness like bacon wrapped streak does. It's got nothing to do with the taste most of the time. (not really talking about yall in this thread because you're literally discussing the actual taste, I mean when it's used as an example of ~faggy food for tree huggers~ just because it's not a STEAK) My unpopular opinion is that in less than 100 years eating meat will be seen as a disgusting act, at least in the "developed" world. As a warning about how evil acts can be normalized, kids will watch present-day videos of all those animals packed into cages just to be killed for burritos. life is a joke has a new favorite as of 23:34 on Jan 21, 2018 |

Power_of_the_glory posted:Hated flying any helicopter in 5. Helicopters were really awful. Planes were merely pointless. Seriously, why do they insist on having planes in these games, when they have no gameplay associated with them. You just fly from point A to B, and if there's combat it's either scripted, or you just have to continue flying in a straight line until the enemy gives up

yeah I eat rear end posted:Can you provide a logical reason why you think in 100 years we'll all be woke soyboys? Because it's very easy to stay healthy and have a good diet without eating meat at all. People want to eat animals all the time for cheap but they way we get that is through factory farming and other stomach churning practices. Like many other things throughout history, to those of us living in the present it seems like "just the way things are" but there's no way the methods animals are impregnated, raised, used, killed, and butchered will seem like anything less than horrific as current alternatives (veg, vegan) become the norm. Also lab meat maybe like aphrodite said, but last I heard that was still a ways off. I wish the world would go full vegan today, but since that's not happening I'd die happy settling for a world where meat is a specialty item only, or just part of a legitimate cultural ritual, or used to manage health needs only; instead of being so incredibly cheap and plentiful for only the reason that it tastes good. It's torture for the animals, it's unhealthy for us. Edgar Allen Ho posted:The amount of preachy vegans if far outweighed by the amount of people who go out of their way to poo poo on vegans and vegetarians. Vegans get accused of being preachy just for saying they don't eat meat, you can't win with the I'm a biiiig man, and i want a biiiiiig steak crew. I know I'm being preachy ITT but this is kind of the spot for it lol. I don't usually mention it to anyone IRL, not that anyone cares anyway. The myth that vegans just eat a handful of seeds and a single dry spinach leaf for dinner is so off base, my lunches look just like everyone else's and it's not hard to order something with no animal products after like a week of knowing what to watch for. life is a joke has a new favorite as of 00:31 on Jan 22, 2018 |

I tried an Impossible Burger recently and it was alright, but definitely not there yet as a believable meat substitute. Its texture reminded me of falafel and I felt terrible the morning after (possibly unrelated).

No, it means the thread is called "unpopular opinions", if you post in it, you do so knowing people will react negatively and confrontationally by default. It's not trolling when the thread is designed that way. Speaking of orders and counters, self-check outs have done more to convince me of the inevitable human extinction than literally anything else.
