The Wii U eShop is an amazing insight into the human mind. And by that, I mean you get to laugh at people who think SMB3 is a more casual game than OoT.
random thought: Was I the only one who liked all the different and strange-looking members of the Jedi Council in the prequels?
I mean, they had a snake-man with a beard where his head should be, a fliping nonsensical giraffe-looking longneck guy, and a pink guy with giant horns.
The random crowd scenes full of weird aliens have always been the best part of Star Wars movies
Depends what you mean by casual, i guess? OoT is an *easier* game, but it has less party potential.
I'm using the in-store meter definition. (Which appears to be "Literally every SMB game is casual, regardless of what game it actually is." The only game with a lower "Casual" rating than OoT is TLL.)
IT TOOK TWELVE YEARS TO MAKE! THIS IS OBJECTIVELY IMPRESSIVE, BUT THE HIGH LORD BASEMENT RAPIST SAYS IT IS BAD AND PAPA RAPIST AAAAAAAALLLLLLWAAAAAYYYYSSS RIGHT
Fun fact: the last image on Aliroz's list sold more toys in Tanzania than anywhere else, because in the movies, his language is Haya, a Tanzanian language.
You are the end result of a “would you push the button” prompt where the prompt was “you have unlimited godlike powers but you appear to all and sundry to be an impetuous child” – Zero, 2022
whenever people call me sir it really weirds me out
Me when I'm a she.
Also, on The Good Dinosaur: Pixar threw out the director six months before the original release date, then Disney delayed the release by 18 months, and Pixar completely reworked the story. I saw it yesterday - it was certainly watchable, nice to look at, and had a great score, but I found it full of clichés and overly manipulative at times. It felt like a poor man's How to Train Your Dragon.

I hope this isn't an insensitive way to phrase this, but...do Indian languages handle the distinction between mass nouns and countable nouns differently than English does?
Because most English speakers I know from India tend to pluralize words we'd usually think of as mass nouns. "Homeworks", "softwares", etc.
India actually has a lot of English speakers, so it could be a characteristic of the local dialect, maybe? Just speculating though.
i know there are certain constructions that are characteristic of an Indian English dialect - the tendency to use 'gift' as a verb, for instance. There are also words which are exclusive to Indian English, like 'pre-pone', meaning to move something to an earlier date.

"pre-pone"! it's like the opposite of "postpone"! I love it.

And I found HTTYD really overrated, and its sequel superior.
Yeah, nobody but me seems to really like this movie a whole lot. I mean, there are people saying "It's good" but nobody really going crazy about it. I'd say it's my favorite of all the pixar movies. So, I guess this is my Peabody and Sherman.

And internet critics in general.
(Not to say this makes Red Letter Media automatically correct, but...)
People are allowed to not find the achievement subjectively impressive if the film does nothing with that achievement.
...
*walks out*
see y'all later
It doesn't mention RLM anywhere in the post but still goes into why the film is not to my taste.
My bed is looking more and more comfy by the minute
sometimes i decide i'm gonna teach myself, but i never commit to it.
i dunno how hindi or whatever in particular does anything
