Mine’s that people who insist on correcting others grammar on internet forums are little shits who peaked in grade six as a teacher’s pet and get off on exerting their “superiority” on others.
Fuck you “less than” is just better than “fewer then.” Think I’m wrong, tell me what these symbols are called “< >” that’s what I thought loser.
When asking an open-ended question on the Internet, OP should put their own response as a comment, not in the post body, so people can judge it separately from the question and it’s not elevated above other responses.
That’s it. That’s my hot take.
Yeah that’s probably good advice
Also it avoids that the first 10 comments will be from people trolling you for the exact thing you used as an example instead of answering the question
others grammar
others’ grammar
Fixed it for ya!
It’s “fewer than” not “fewer then”
I’m shaking and crying rn
This is peak
Or is it pique?
… Probably both. Peak pique.
Got his ass
I’ve got a spicy one.
Despite all the patches and updates, Cyberpunk 2077 is still a meh game. I hate the UI, the RPG combat system with damage numbers, the edgy aesthetic and slang words, the lack of vehicle customisation, and the overall lack of non-mission side activities to do in the world.
The ratio of style to substance is heavily weighted in favour of style.
I didn’t dislike it, but it didn’t live up to my hopes after all I’d heard about it.
I don’t regret having bought and played the game, but I never bothered to go back and fully finish all the side missions.
I do think that the edginess is kinda part of the cyberpunk genre. I can’t beat up on them for that.

It has high production values, a lot of modeling and texturing and such — I’m amazed how much money they have to have sunk into assets only to use them briefly — but the actual core gameplay didn’t grab me the way, oh, Halo did when it first came out and I played it. Night City is painstakingly created in tremendous detail, but end of the day, the point is to create the backdrop for gameplay, and I feel like they spent a disproportionate making of resources on that.
-
The combat is pretty, but for all of the work that went into various systems, I didn’t play it much differently from the way I would another shooter.
-
I also had been expecting something more like a Bethesda RPG, and got something more Grand Theft Auto-ish with a beefed up skill tree.
-
I wasn’t that impressed with the braindance stuff from a pure gameplay standpoint — it’s kinda “hunt for the hidden object” stuff — but I do think that it was original and it served as a useful justification to show “flashbacks” to earlier events.
-
Obtaining and managing clothing is a substantial thing, but I almost never actually see the main character, so the clothing doesn’t have much impact. Maybe if there were a third person camera mode or frequent reflections or frequent looking through a camera or something.
-
Having played some games like Saboteur and Grand Theft Auto, I kind of expected the differences between autos to matter more, given how much work went into creating them and all, but from a mission standpoint, they’re surprisingly interchangeable. A couple missions are easier with some, but a lot of the vehicles don’t really have that much gameplay point.
-
Johnny Silverhand is a major part of the game, but wasn’t really a character that I found very plausible or super interesting. I dunno, maybe if I had been into the punk music scene, it’d be different. I felt like they really were trying to shoehorn a punk band leader into the role. That being said, I did think that most characters were pretty solid.
Lots of good points!
ChatGPT-ass emdashes with spaces on either side

I’ve been complaining about the cyberpunk genre for years and 2077 is basically a distillation of everything wrong with it at current. They use the aesthetic and gut the meat, to the point where they’re often the very things cyberpunk is supposed to be critiquing. Soulless cash grabs its embarrassing we let it happen. 2077 wasn’t even mechanically fun for me. My favorite genre and I feel like we’ve rarely made things better than just reading neuromancer. We should have plenty of really mind blowing rhings with this much time to improve on it but it’s so few and far between 😞
Mother Nature is really, really angry at us and payback is only barely beginning to start.
I am not religious or superstitious or whatever, it’s just a way of expressing that very soon we’re gonna have it very bad. The heatwaves, the storms, the utilities unable to cope, the displaced populations, the overwhelmed over-egotistic political systems - we’re in for a ride, and that ride starts yesterday.
This is not even a hot take. It’s just facts.
Yeah as Carlin said, “the earth will be fine, the people are fucked”. This is a hot flash for the planet on the galactic scale. It will recover. It may take a few thousand years but on the planets scale it’s nothing - a cold, a flu. We are the ones who are just living on the surface, subject to whatever corrective actions will be taken as it corrects itself
I kinda look at it like mother nature is angry at herself. It spawned us to finish it
Capitalism is going to kill us all if we don’t kill it first.
People who can’t stand being corrected. Instead of learning and improving, they feel diminished and hateful.
Maybe they are just hatefull from the start, and you correcting them puts you in their line of sight?
I’m not really in a position to correct anyone, as English is not my native language.
Oh god I almost don’t want to say this in this environment…
Techy people aren’t the most intelligent in other/all areas just because they have some technical expertise.
I have worked with, and interacted with people, all my life who are technically very intelligent in some specific way, and even been one of these people… Who thinks that one area of proficiency grants them unearned respect in other areas.
Eg." I’m great at maths therefore I’m logically infallible". Or “I’m an engineer, so I know exactly how society should function best”." I’m a doctor so my every opinion on everything is more important than yours".
I’m not like this but I am very curious.
When I went to the dentist and they were taking molds of my teeth I shared that I was a 3D printing hobbyist and wanted to know a bit about the process. I always start with an apology “sorry I’m curious by nature as an engineer but could you share details on X?”
Dude was the owner and gave me a full run down. He even told me about the time he got a free rental for a crown 3D printer to have on site. It was stupid expensive but it was free to use for a few months. Then pay to keep it. Get crowns in hours instead of days. He returned it because labs do much better work.
This platform is proof positive of this take lmao buncha tech nerds who can’t read to save their lives
God help you if you accidentally use an analogy on here
Ben Carson is the epitome of this for me - absolutely brilliant neurosurgeon, ate up every bit of the MAGA party line.
I feel this, my frustration isn’t that people aren’t smart enough to use tech, but that smart people panic around tech and can’t learn or experiment. Like I get it, but you have to dive in at some point surely
The only grammar thing that annoys the hell out of me is “on accident”. No idea why, it just really sticks out and bugs me when I come across it. I rarely mention it when I see it though, because I know that noone actually cares.
That bugs me as well. Another is ‘off of’. There is no use case when ‘off’ isn’t sufficient.
I often hear that in “based off of” where “on” makes even more sense. The thing that it’s based on forms the basis or foundation that the new thing is built upon, so you’re basing it on that.
:eyetwitch:
I’m gonna start saying “on accident” by purpose from now on
You’re just saying that because you know you’re going to do it on accident anyway, and you’re trying to get ahead of it
I think this is a dialectical thing! Iirc, in the US it’s more common to say “on accident” and in the UK it’s “by accident”, but I’m not certain
Canada, by accident!
I’m not sure I’ve heard someone say on accident it’s always by accident in the PNW (West Coast USA)
PNW here as well, I only hear ‘on accident’. It makes more sense than ‘by accident’ since we also say ‘on purpose’ and not ‘by purpose’.
The rules of the English language have never had anything to do with making sense.
Repping East Coast, that’s what we say, or simply, “accidentally.”
Legos with stickers suck. They should just print it in the parts or not have a design. It’s too much stress on the person building them :/
Family and blood relation means absolutely nothing.
It’s just that people decided that due to blood relation and marriages a certain set of people should not only know each other, but like each other and put up with each other’s bullshit for far longer than for other groups like friends.
Meanwhile these relations are no different from being coworkers.
Similarly, lacking this blood relation doesn’t matter aside from family anamnesis (and perhaps organ/bone marrow transplants), in case of adoptions.
I don’t understand why people go through so much struggle for their kids to be “their own” while there’s many waiting and hoping to get adopted. People don’t think anything special about adopting a cat or dog, after all, there is no other way, and yet they’ll fully love their pet. But suddenly when it’s small humans, which is even the same specie, it matters a lot.I don’t understand if people really feel something towards having really similar DNA, but I don’t see any logic in it.
Eh, the people you have the strongest emotional bonds with are likely the people you’ve spent the most time with. Logically that would be family for most people. Kinda weird obsession with blood ties their mate, don’t have to be related by blood to be family.
don’t have to be related by blood to be family.
But is family if blood related.
Strongest emotional bonds don’t necessarily mean anything positive. Most time spent only applies to immediate family, like parents. Outside that you likely do spend more time with coworkers or classmates.
The Snyder Superman movies were good, actually.
Broooo what the fuxkkkk
Are you lobotomised???
yes
For some reason, people using the contraction “everyday” as a noun drives me insane. “Everyday” is an adjective (e.g., an everyday activity), “every day” is the noun (e.g., I do this activity every day).
It doesn’t matter. It doesn’t.
If anything, “everyday” in “I do this thing everyday” would be an adverb. (not that that makes it less wrong)
Login is always a noun in my mind and the verb is “to log in”. There are some other weird ones with me in IT due to, I suppose, being older.
My hot take is that I don’t care what other people’s hot takes are.
The Star Wars prequels are still bad movies. The Clone Wars may be good, but it can’t fix the problems with those movies.
Also, if those movies can be widely considered rehabilitated when the kids who watched them grow up, then so can the sequels.
The prequels have a solid narrative throughout, the sequels don’t even have a consistent narrative in a single movie.
This is an insane take.
