There are some beautiful argument chains.

Doubt.

Such depth for a movie about a guy and his dog.

GOG if available, no DRM and while I think they do have a launcher, I don't think it's required. I could be wrong...

Steam does tend to be annoying about logging in and out, not necessarily letting you choose to update stuff, it has DRM and requires internet (or will at least be annoying about it).

GOG is more like, gosh, downloading some software and then running it. Without it doing 11 kinds of random shit on you.

Yeah, well, no fucking shit, what'd they think was the point of the campaign?

These guys...

You literally can't get away from it. The human brain is made to stereotype, the trick is trying to be aware of how and what implications that has for how you treat people.

Hated every kind, had some actually great ones in Greece, now I can sorta kinda get behind black olives. Greens are still a bit too bitter for my preference.

"site" does work still, I think, just plus a lot of irrelevant drivel - standard Google fare, you see it on Youtube too.

I'd consider the most basic case to be, specifically, the "quotes for verbatim results", which definitely do not work anymore. Neither does + for a positively (hue hue) required term, a close second.

To be fair, back in the day you could get better results by relying on Google with site:foobar and the Boolean/"power user" stuff. A lot of built-in search boxes on sites were a bit dodgy, or at least less flexible than AND/OR/NOT and other "power user tricks".

Of course, these days those seem to be ignored wholesale and even "verbatim quotes" are an utter crapshoot, this was back when Google didn't fucking blow.

It shows you the passage too. Albeit for maybe one second, which was just not terribly smart design. But it does show you or mention it somewhere - a lot of OoT is like that.

Imagining that line spoken by Joe Lycett.

Fite me irl

Roasted/broiled/pan fried sprouts are amazing, though.

What should be crossed out is the rutabaga.
