I know this is rage bait, but DKC was fantastic. I remember when Blockbuster video held a contest where you could play a game, and if you had the best score in the entire store you could win free movie rentals for a year. And if you did good enough, you could qualify for a “The Wizard” style video game competition in California. I played the shit out of this game to practice for weeks. I learned all the spots where you could drop down a hole and instead of dying, you get some rewards. I went in to this blockbuster ready to get my family a year of free movie rentals and possibly a trip to California. The first hole I dropped down I died. They had a modified version of the game that didn’t have these secrets in it. I was entirely unprepared. I played my 3 turns and did pretty terrible. After we left the blockbuster my parents had to run into a store and I just waited in the car. I literally cried cause I was so disappointed in how bad I did.

Obesity probably fits this same issue. Having tax paid healthcare makes it a government issue to keep everybody healthy, though. So maybe it would encourage the government to make rules around encouraging healthy behavior.

Capitalism doesn’t care about minutiae. It only cares about the end results. Unfortunately, minutiae is actual human lives in this case.

You’ve witnessed the deaths of 30 million people? Personally or you talking about Alderaan?

I definitely was not that smart. That was a very interesting read though. I would totally be the guy that drops a brick on it…

I’m not smart enough to understand this…

Ironically, this photo wasn’t even in the running for best photo in Sullivan’s class.

I’d love to see the top photos.

Waste fraud and abuse.

 

I had this thought after watching a game where the winning team came back from the 2 minute warning running the victory formation.

It seems dumb to me that we come back from the 2 minute ~~warning~~ commercial break and the only time we have action is if the game is close and the losing team has the ball or has timeouts.

What if instead, the winning team is forced to run plays that actually drain the clock, or attempt to get yards and points. I feel like this would make the last 2 minutes more exciting.

Take the Bills v Chiefs game. It was an exciting game, but Chiefs went into victory formation at the 1:30 mark. What if instead the chiefs would have to keep playing for at least another minute? What other sports can we have a game this close where the last minute+ is this boring?

Alternate idea, under 1 minute, the play clock stops after every play.

Any thoughts? I think both would make for a more exciting 2 minutes, and change the coaching strategy in an interesting way.

 

2 great movies about bad moms. One from the child’s perspective, the other from the mom’s perspective.

 

I’m not really sure where to ask this question. Maybe there’s a lemmy dev community where these kind of discussions already happen.

I feel like the default front page in Lemmy is still severely lacking when compared to Reddit’s r/all algorithm. I find hot and top hourly to be nearly identical. The top 6 hour is closer, but still not as good as what the Reddit default front page is.
