Personally, I prefer things I don’t understand because I don’t have to mentally deal with whatever bullshit they are saying. I can sing it a thousand times without ever thinking too much about it because I know the sounds and not the meaning of the words.

I can belt out a ton of Japanese or Russian music, because I started listening to help my language learning (classes, not self-guided), but I don’t actually understand the songs. I “know the words”, but that’s it.

Isn’t it though, isn’t it?

But cmon, if you don’t want do deal with the gag reflex, should you really be developing the neck?

Be the change you want to see in the world, my friend!

That’s fair.

I’m a big fan of 100% in games (well, that used to mean a lot more before achievements and open world everything, but I do still try) and do it without guides, but I do totally get that different people play differently, so no judgement.

Disclaimer: I did read it.

Is it just most players of these games that use guides or like all games? If it’s all games, I find that fascinating.

I absolutely hate needing to look anything up, and I get super upset with myself when I don’t think of the convoluted solution or discover the hidden quest on my own. I shouldn’t, sure, but always have. Since getting stuck in the vine forest in illusions of Gaia on SNES (think of the korok forest in breath of the wild, or the woods to Canada in the South Park games -wrong turn reset), and needing my older sister, who didn’t game, to navigate it for me, I’ve always wanted to solve it myself.

I mean I look stuff up if I really get stuck, or if I’m not sure the game has “missable” stuff (which I absolutely hate, because I’m not gunna play a game through again in most cases to make different choices; too many games I haven’t played for that to be desirable), but I hate doing it and don’t internally understand why you’d want to, I suppose.

Like I’m not judging anyone who does, those guides totally exist for a reason.. I just have never understood the print guide or super detailed walkthrough thing, because it’s the opposite of how I like games. I always wondered who they were made for.

True. I suppose it’s just because I know how things actually played out with TOS, and it was just jarring and unexpected.

I did like that he was debating sticking around, that felt pretty human, but the blatant sexism was uncomfortable. That bit about “not used to a woman on the bridge… oh but your different..” suuuuper cringe and unnecessary. :p

I’m glad I watched it, but I’m also glad that’s not how it got made, ultimately.

I finally watched that original pilot and it’s soooo bad! I’m really glad she was there.

Green pimento olives and kiwi together??? 🤢

At first I thought this was some sort of fruit salad jello, but it isn’t. It’s just… everything.

Ham? Carrots or maybe cheddar? I assume the whipped shit is egg? Maybe fish on top or something, and then peas, olives, and kiwi..? Just why..?
