Yea, it's really weird tbh
Not that Nintendo didn't do anything worth criticizing, but you can already tell some just won't let go of the negativity unless Nintendo really does manage to turn everything around. Meanwhile, I'm tuning out; just waiting to enjoy BoTW at this point lol
He said Popeyes though so I think we good
Folks can't handle the truth around here but you'll do fine though.

Be active. Don't lay down any longer than you have to, but make sure whatever you do you have somewhere to sit in case sciatic pain starts flaring up.
I had it in 2014
Went away for the most part in 2015, but still had remittent back issues. Bent over funny sometime last year and now I'm fighting it again. Most times I don't even notice it but if I stand up way too long it will remind me.

I understand the criticisms and I have the same ones too, mostly about the app for voice service and the controller prices. But I also want Nintendo to succeed as well. A world without Nintendo is a grim one. But holding their asses to the fire to have some sense put into them isn't bad. They just need to learn, but they don't. And that's the problem.

Same here, pretty sure I can fight this off by losing weight and strengthening my lower back. People with herniated discs do just that and live pretty good lives, but I need to get motivated to get back in the gym like I was when I was in the military

what's the solution for someone who never learns?
I don't care about accessory prices. They make more sense than ds4 msrp. I'm mad about online and the current games line up, like what the actual fuck. You have the support of your 3DS and Wii U dev teams some of which haven't come out with games for 2+ years and this what you gonna launch with.
i still preordered cause Zelda though 😔😔😔
Edit: oops
Edit2: fuck it

My homeboy trying to convince me to cop a vape for the pain. Gym is definitely an option in between flare ups. My last one was around thanksgiving so I'm surprised it's happening so soon. Usually I get flare ups every 6-8 monthsSame here, pretty sure I can fight this off by losing weight and strengthening my lower back.

The more footage I see of the new Zelda game the more it looks like the world will be pretty boring outside of specific locations--which there may be a lot of. I think it is interesting that no one commented on the fact that the game might suffer from "open world syndrome" like they do every other open world game.
Oh well. Looks fun so I'll be jelly watching people play.

How is Nintendo with open world games? I'm not familiar but I was really feeling how the Zelda game was looking. Was about to pre-order just for that but there's no way I'd put a switch to good use.
Lots of people complained about WW being 75% sailing but I felt that was overblown. Sailing was fun, at the least. Zelda tends to have a robust and engaging overworld.
This is their first one
Edit: well technically not since they own monolith soft...and WW. I don't think TP Counts but that's my own opinion
People have definitely commented on it. But overall, we're all basically under the impression that if any game were to buck the usual trends people seem to be tired of in open world games nowadays, it'd be Zelda. So hopefully it does.
Or be so good that we don't give a shit at least...
Hopefully they don't go over board with the world size. Other than that the whole mini-dungeon thing they seem to be angling for sounds good. But I can't shake the feeling it's going to end up like MGSV, great systems based gameplay and pointless open world.

I never played WW so I have never noticed those comments before. lol the game can't be that much sailing
There's a section of the game where you have to find the Triforce and it gets tedious if you're not really into it.
It is, and after the novelty wears off its fucking boring. Luckily Wii U version kind of fixed it. The game does have fast travel though

I'm not feeling this wolf
most likely there's no solution
some people self consciously tell themselves that they don't want to be acceptive of certain things that they might be ignorant or wrong about, and at that point you just don't bother until something happens where they realize "wow, I was wrong this entire time"
which probably won't happen.
I can just imagine if MLK was alive to have a Twitter account. But then again, none of these clowns would be summoning MLK if he was alive to respond in the first place.
He's the perfect minority figure for white people. Non-existent *and* useful for finger-wagging at other minorites.
Oh yeah. They love to namedrop MLK as a way to shut down those "uppity" blacks.
