Okay, I'll get killed but Mario Odyssey is the weakest of the main 3D mario games [I still love the game a lot lol] Galaxy 1/2 might never be topped for me


Also, I hate when people have loyalty to a gaming company [Fanboys/girls] and never see a company faults

Yeah and also when those fanpeople defend the site/game/etc to death and just can't see why other dislikes it and likes other stuff.. I mean neopets recently changed their layout to a baby drag and drop app things to make it more mobile-friendly but they could very well run two version and they had 3 year to re-code flash content and did like nothing but people keep defending that.. I assume zoomers who grew up with their nose in their phones but yeah.

And yeah SMO is very weak and camera is horrid.

Right? Just because I say something I dislike about a game or something, doesn't mean I'm insulting you personally lol.

Some people need to create identities beyond a game or company.

I like being 36 years old, said no woman ever apparently except me.

I agree with you. My thirties was probably my best time where I felt good physically, had the freedoms of an adult and the experience to use those freedoms wisely. Then, I hit 40 and my body decided it was done. LOL

Sports bras are very uncomfortable. It feels like I'm wearing a corset. Or maybe I'm just not doing it right.

I really don’t like Zelda as a game franchise.

I hate the show The Office. It is unwatchable trash.

I don’t like peanut butter.

Creed was way more annoying than Nickelback.

It's kind of baffling to me that coffee is so widely accepted when it's an addictive substance that causes actual withdrawal symptoms.​

I know this is older, but i just wanted to drop a couple interesting facts people don’t think about concerning caffeine. It is habit-forming, but not detrimental unless taken in excess (2 cups a day is a safe limit). In fact, there are many benefits to caffeine consumption:

• it blocks the stuff that makes you tired as the day progresses (adenosine)
• It increases the stuff that makes you feel pleasure and controls how attentive you are (dopamine/norepinephrine)
• Studies have shown consuming 200-300mg per day (100mg per cup of coffee) can lower risk of suicide by 45%
• Other studies have shown a big improvement in general depression
• Having too much caffeine increases anxiety, headaches and high blood pressure
• 3-5 cups of coffee a day may reduce risk of Alzheimer’s / Parkinson’s by 28%
• Increases beneficial bacteria in your gut

I loved Odyssey at first but upon replaying it I think I would be inclined to agree with you if 3D Land/World didn't exist. Not that those games are bad and they definitely had some highlights but aside from the really neat level designs and the cat power up they're just alright. I never really felt wowed playing them. Still, I think after replaying Mario 64 the combat feels much more interesting in that game. I get there's a lot more options when it comes to movement in Odyssey also but it feels a lot easier to execute in Mario 64 and it's a lot easier to master that game compared to Odyssey and I feel like the reward is better in the end.

it was way too easy, just like all the newer mario games. it was a huge disappointment to me when it came out, when peoples main defense is that you're meant to try and collect everything i just laugh it off. since when did mario games turn into collectathons, just getting stars are all it needs, not 5 different things

Shoot, didn't even think about 3d Land & World, only played 3d land when first released but can't remember the game to well. Didnt pick up 3D World, My Wii U was just my Wind Waker HD and Smash Bros machine....

Yeah, After beating most of the post game I stopped around 700+ moons. The game didn't seem fun to continue at that point for me

Say what you want about Reddit, but I think it's not that bad if you look in the right places with the right people. I've seen two small subreddits with niche game series and overall, the people there are pretty decent. Rarely do I see someone being indecent towards others. And my favourite part is that posts with inside jokes come every once in a while giving me a small laugh every now and then. Though I do agree on how Reddit is awful in other places where more people are involved, especially if it has anything to do with politics. Also, I'd avoid the Animal Crossing subreddit like a plague if I were you.

It makes me sad that people put down Super Mario 3D Land and World while rising up Galaxy 1/2. The two "series" share a lot of similarities in their foundations. They're all a move away from the style of Super Mario 64 and Sunshine. Instead of explorable worlds, they moved to linear obstacle courses for level design. Super Mario 3D Land/World were just more honest in their presentation compared to Galaxy.

2007-2017 was the darkest time for Super Mario platformers, I tell you. Every Mario platformer in production had become the same linear obstacle course design, whether 2D or 3D, and with 3D Land/World, everything was beginning to look the same as well.

Super Mario Odyssey completely bucked this trend. And for that I'm very grateful. Galaxy, SM3D Land/World, and NSMB all need to stay in the past. Although I'm personally okay with 3D Land/World becoming a series AS LONG AS games like Odyssey with the explorable world design continue as well.

Turning 30 was my freakout age. Once I got past that, it wasn't so bad, although I was in a toxic relationship for most of my 30s.

My 40s were a lot happier, and hitting 50 seems to have been the point where I stopped worrying about making everyone else happy at my expense.

people who dislike or disagree with the LGBT community because they're a Christian are pretty ignorant.

3D World is my favorite 3D Mario game but 3D Land is probably my least favorite.

I hate when websites tell you what to include in your password. I get that it makes it more secure but now my password will be forced to be something I can't remember due to shoving a symbol, capital, and 2 numbers in it. Let me make it how I want and if I get hacked, it's my own fault.

The worst part about this is when you are too busy trying to remember your password, it locks your account after multiple attempts. And then when you make a new password and type in the password you attempted, it says ""you cannot use your old password".

Maybe me not being a star wars fan makes me just not get it but...

Baby Yoda isn't anything special.
Sure the design is kind of cute but it's nothing groundbreaking and there are far cuter things out there.
Kind of wish the hype would die down as I'm starting to get tired of seeing him everywhere.​

 

[LuchaSloth]

Oh...baby Yoda is definitely a blatant abuse of appealing to people's basest desires. We see this all the time. Whether it's something like baby Yoda, or Minions, Crazy Frog, or whatever. It's a regularly occurring cycle. The character itself is actually okay, IMO...but the fandom is borderline toxic. Lol.
