60 fps is definitely better in almost all cases, but as long as the frame rate is stable at 30-plus and you're not playing the game for cash prizes, then you have no reason to complain.

The high fps in the hobbit movies were one of the many reasons they were garbage

Also, as a corollary to my previous post about D&D being a shithole of a forum, I find it alot more cathartic to watch idiotic leftists breakdown into amerikkka rants than to circlejerk about how dumb right wing conservatives are. Nazis are dumb, bad, and dangerous but idiots who share my opinions make me look waaaay better. No one is ever gonna compare the gay french jew who used to wear a che tee to Joe Bob McRoymooredidnothingwrong.

Fun dnd drinking game is to mention america being involved in world war 2 and see how long it takes before Stalin becomes the only moral player.

Won't have to drink at all, considering they'll proclaim this on the first post.

Stalin was not a American, and therefore could do no wrong at best, and was the least of the evils at worst.

EDIT: I'm still waiting for the thread where they claim that President Nixon was the leader of the German Third Reich during WW2.

Edgar Allan Ho is referring to his posts in the D&D ‘Post things that Americans are violently passionate about’ thread. Not surprisingly, D&D posters used the thread to make AmeriKKKa rants and to complain about Republicans, as they are fond of doing in every D&D thread.

Edgar Allan Ho made a post which was like half-positive and half-critical of America, and some poster immediately got defensive and took exception to his positive comments about the US. Edgar Allan Ho then pointed out that some Americans are violently passionate about whining about the US and to make any sort of positive statement about the US really gets them worked up.

Later a bunch of morons came into the thread to angrily insult him and to deny that they got mad at his vaguely pro-America post lol

I honestly do not understand these people. The first time I encountered a Stalin+Mao fanboy I was just confused and thought they were just loving with me. But no, they really dig in on it because if you say communism can be bad then you get kicked out of the woke leftist club. They just handwave the millions of dead away with "well that wasn't his fault/it was exaggerated".

Apparently it's an unpopular opinion that you are allowed to think socialism is good without being a full-blown soviet/mao apologist.

That's not comparable, movies look good with low framerate because they have motion blur. Hobbit's high framerate reduced motion blur, and made the film look like a cheap TV show shot on video. Compare that to games that don't have the advantage of smoothing frames with blur, higher framerate helps them.

Wrong, Nic Cage is forever an rear end in a top hat not for films, but for the absolutely hideous national treasure-looking pyramid mausoleum he built for himself in Saint-Louis No. 1 in NOLA. A loving eyesore in a beautiful, historic place that also happens to house people’s departed relatives?

I saw the thing before they shut the cemetary down to the public. It is absolutely awful.

That's not even that bad. I was expecting something giant and gold or something gaudy as gently caress by the way you were talking, not just a white stone pyramid. It looks newer than the surroundings but just give it time, it will look like a decrepit tomb eventually.

also cage's best movie is matchstick men.

That's a pretty conventional looking rich person tomb. Make it weathered and you wouldn't bat an eye at it.

Actual unpopular opinion: there should not be cemeteries. It's a colossal waste of space. The dead should only ever be cremated if you want to keep an urn that's fine otherwise just spread it around / throw it away.

If HOAs can tell people how short their grass has to be then you'd think a protected historic site cemetery could stop someone from building something they didn't want there.

I don't think it's any worse than the multi colored tombs and ones covered with gang tags or the ones that were basically piles of bricks that were there last time I visited.

Really, donating bodies to science should be mandatory. A near-inexhaustible supply of cadavers to cut open and analyze will educate students, keep track of societal health changes on a more comprehensive level, encourage organ transfer, and free up cemeteries everywhere.

Like, still have general memorial sites-- etched name into a wall of stone and shrine/prayer areas etc etc--but none of this horseshit "everyone gets a plot... except when we exhume your corpse in a few decades to rotate the plot for the next person to pay to be there."

I’ll use your post to go off on my phuo. Enthusiasts ruin everything they touch. What happens is a person finds a niche or something they’re into. Then they might find a community that shares that interest. And then the fuckery happens. The enthusiast has to have a way to show how much they are into their niche compared to the other enthusiast. So they pick some characteristic that can be compared. That becomes the yardstick for comparison.

So enthusiast A is like “look how much of thing my thing has!” And enthusiast B is like “well look how much thing my thing has”. And whatever feature was chosen as the yardstick to compare gets exaggerated as enthusiast use it to measure dicks. And then the thing becomes distorted from what it originally was.

Steaks become raw. Bicycles go from a practical way to get around a city to carbon fiber wedgies. Street cars start become wannabe race cars that are bad at both being a race car and a street car. Metal sounds like trash, etc etc.

Edit: and another. Beer becomes too bitter because "gotta have more hops".... the list goes on.

There really are ways to cook a steak that are so blatantly better than others though. The competence of the cook is the biggest difference between a steak melting in your mouth and tasting like poo poo. Eat it how you like it but people that don't know or care how they cook their steak make terrible steak.

Shows like Game of Thrones and The Walking Dead are mindless consumerist crap and its sad that they're so popular and people don't see those shows for what they are.

The Soul games used to be innovative and unique but they are just more of the same thing over and over and rely more on formulaic trial and error rather than challenging the player to think and explore.

MGSV had a brilliant ending but people are too stupid to think about it.

Metal Gear Survive looks cool for what it is, a spin-off game, but it's nothing to be angry about.

Breaking Bad was a great show, but the finale was fan pandering trash.

Hope I'm doing this right :)
