Right. They might not like what they chose, but they did choose it. They turned up and they got what they wanted at the time.

I wish it wasn't true, because the wii u had some great games and ideas, and the switch 2 definitely will as well.

But yeah, a HUGE portion of Nintendo's sales come from being the budget, kid friendly option. When a parent sees a ps5, xbox and switch 2 all lined up for roughly the same price, Nintendo isn't going to be the default choice it once was.

And it kinda sucks because all people do is hate on the switch for its lower performance. The only way to get better performance is to put more expensive parts in leading to a higher price. They can't win in some ways.

I love the open back ones. Sennheiser HD 598. Had them 10 years.

I remember it was definitely known before 2018 if you were in the right circles, but yeah like you said different thresholds. He was still far more popular than not at that point, but the evidence did exist.

Typically you'd use either nothing (just put the symbols next to each other) or in cases where that would be unclear, you'd use the centered dot ⋅

I 100% agree they are the absolute worst. They drive me crazy and can put me in a bad mood faster than coming across any of the actually dangerous things. Absolutely ridiculous.

Kids mess with those ants when they're 5 and are fine. Sure it hurts but not really different to a bee.

The only one I'd say the average Australian has above average exposure to is jellyfish, assuming they go to the beach even semi regularly. But I mean, they just float around, they aren't coming for you on the attack.

Spiders there's only 2-3 anyone actually worries about, they're rarely seen and even more rarely bite anyone. Same for snakes. You also won't die even if you do get bit unless you can't make it to a hospital/contact help for a very long time.

Crocodiles are barely a concern outside select areas (eg think whether the average American would be concerned about alligators at all).

Kangaroos can theoretically attack but generally want to keep to themselves. But also to give you an idea how much of a non issue they are there are zoos that don't even have them in pens, they just roam around with the people.

Edit: one thing I probably didn't make clear, the average Australian probably does see a high amount of spiders, what I meant is the average Australian doesn't typically see the actually dangerous spiders. I've seen them maybe 2-3 times in almost 40 years.

Yeah I've been to my cinema a ton and every movie I've ever been to they leave the lights dimmed until the credits finish (basically lights off during movie, dimmed during credits, fully on after). They'll also wait until everyone has left until they start cleaning.

This one they immediately turned the lights on fully (even before the first after credits scene that is almost instantly) and came in to start cleaning up, because it was so much worse than normal they needed that extra time.

Then a year later they'll fire those extra people and add the cleaning duties to the regular staff while not paying them more or reducing the ticket prices.

You're entitled to your opinion. As someone that is a fan of both and played both extensively my opinion is they're about on par with each other, which is "decent but not amazing", "I wouldn't actively tell anyone to avoid it, but I'm not hassling people to go see it either", and, "I didn't feel I'd wasted my money entirely, but I'd have been just as happy to see it at home later on".

It's better than the trailers made it look. It's not a master piece, but I went in expecting to be disappointed and was surprised. It was decent. On par with the Mario movie overall.

My son got invited to a birthday party for it. Theater was 90% 5-12 year olds. This really did happen. In Australia where I don't usually see this kind of thing, even when I've heard about it for other movies.

A guy that looked mid teens literally yelled "shut the fuck up!" at one point which just made them all laugh and go more crazy.

Literally any 4 panel comic.

Creature: is like 50-75% yellow.

Scientists: its defining feature is its yellow throat.

They will do a taste test though, when they eat it. Then they'll swear to never buy that crappy brand again.

If you can't spot it by looking at it, you can definitely spot it by eating it. You don't even need to tell people to boycott this stuff, people are able to read brand names and won't rebuy brands that taste rubbish anyway.
