I’m very curious to know how many people in this thread disparaging the game have actually played it.

It was my favorite too up until recently. It has been dethroned by Choceur brand from Aldi.

I soft quit Reddit last year and deleted all my profile’s comments and posts. I only kept it around because I had heard Reddit was restoring deleted posts and I wanted to make sure mine were gone for good. After several months I stopped checking.

This article made me finally pull the trigger and go in to delete my account. Surprise surprise, two pages of old comments had been restored.

Sure, that sucks. But I’m not saying there are zero downsides, I’m specifically countering the argument that there are “no good reasons” with my personal good reasons.

Thats precisely what I’m referring to- these things being possible when you’re inside of a store, restaurant, or an extreme case like you parked at the airport for a trip.

The fob won’t work if you’re deep inside a store, will it? Same for checking the mirrors.

That’s a very subjective take. My friends and family that live in hot climates love the ability to remotely turn on and pre-cool their vehicles. I appreciate being able to check if I remembered to lock the doors.

😍

Wtf

Because despite the bitching it still has a very respectable user base, at least purely looking at the Steam stats:

It’s a decent game but a terrible one if you are comparing it to the original Overwatch.

Protect your hearing. Listen to loud music in moderation and use earplugs in loud environments.

This is the second time I’ve seen someone say this. Tenacious D is not broken up. Where are you getting this information?

Jack is gonna be the best part of this, you just wait.

Jean creamer. Even the cheap stuff works wonders.

Aldi is a lifesaver in these trying times

I find the Samples (what I’m assuming you’re referring to by saying “shorts”) feature actually kinda useful for discovering new music. I flip through it every few months to hear snippets of recent hits or what YouTube might think I’d be interested in without committing to listening to an entire song.

I don’t like how this article hyperbolizes the amount of booing. Compare the moments of booing to the very end with the mix of cheers/jeers where that sounds like the entire audience giving a reaction.

Yes it’s important that jorkin depeanus vance got booed but misrepresenting the level of heckling from the crowd isn’t journalism that respects its readers.

I went back and looked at the articles I had read and dug a little deeper to get to an interview with Lilly Wachowski herself:

Continuing on The Matrix**, you confirmed a couple years ago that it was a trans allegory —**

No, I didn’t.

You didn’t? Tell me more.

Yeah, so that came from an interview I did for Disclosure. They had a bunch of Matrixquestions. And the question they asked me was about Switch, who was originally written as a trans character who was male in the real world and female in the matrix. And they took that response and attached the question that everyone now references that it’s a trans allegory. And so it was slightly out of context, but I don’t sit here and put a stink up about it, because it is a trans allegory in that it was written by two closeted trans women. And so all of the things that are in it are super-duper trans. The idea of transformation, even the whole “My name is Neo, Mr. Anderson —” that idea of claiming identity, it’s undeniable.

To be honest, her statement doesn’t seem like either a denial or confirmation to me so 🤷‍♂️

From what I’ve read, The Matrix wasn’t created as a trans allegory, it’s just that you can apply the fundamentals of its story to many concepts. One of the most popular interpretations happens to be gender identity because its creators transitioned years after the original trilogy ended.
