Or they made their seasonal change from their summers to winters, and if, like me, you have separate rims so you can easily do it at home, you now get to drive around with the car whining about no tpms. Because fucking cars can't have this as built in diagnostic functionality in these giant computers on wheels.

When I have time I'll pop over to a shop that can reprogram them to the second set, but it's not exactly priority numero uno.

I suspect more than a few of us are feeling called out with this comment.

A lot of comments on here saying "but X is better". Y'all are missing the point though. These "better technologies" are not being used in the creative and fun ways that flash was - not to the scale that we saw in peak Newgrounds/HomestarRunner era. It goes to show that no one company should ever control tools and the stuff our works are built upon. A lesson we, as a society, sure struggle to learn.

Don't get me wrong, my rose tinted glasses aren't all the way on. I remember critical infrastructure systems developed in flash of all fucking things.

But a very real piece of the creative internet died with flash. Maybe it's a coincidence, and it's the corpo-sites we all congregate around now to blame. I don't know. Peak internet was 2000-2010 and I'll stake my flag on that hill - don't @ me.

Just like 50x100's are usually more like 40x90's, or something even more insane - 39x86? Like I'm sorry, but the unit of measurement is NOT the problem, it's the centuries old "traditions" and "standards" to normalize dimensional lumber that are the problem.

At any rate, one should look at the names of boards as the ratio of their dimensions and leave the inches and mm out of it and it starts to make more sense.

I can't recall another game with a free roam camera that gave lore to their camera. You control two characters at the same time!

My head canon is that Lakitu is the camera operator in all Nintendo games to this day.

Might be something you can do on Switch 2 pro controller with GL/GR at least?

I can't speak for BOTW but the remap capability in the NSO Classics is such a massive improvement that I'm finally playing N64 games on it.

I kind of hold out hope that maybe maybe it's a sign Nintendo is finally pulling it's head from its ass when it comes to letting us change controls.

Not wanting a firehose of shit being thrown at you every time you go online = voter apathy?

Like, fuck dude. The world sucks. When I'm not busy voting 99.999999999% of the year I just want to look at funny pictures of cats.

Depending on how many fucks I had to give that day, might have even written that in the comments!

You get to be one of todays lucky 10 thousand!

It's one of those holdover things a good number internet old webcomics do, including the linked XKCD. It's one of those things that's effortless with your traditional mouse-keyboard desktop setup, because you hover your mouse and magically the alt-text appears without having to really find it. But for new users in the touch screen era? As you say, yeah, definitely obtuse. :)
