I only completed the game for the first time as a teenager (far from 100%). When I was younger I just cared about roaming around and explore as much as possible. I did not speak english so it was kind of hard to figure out what to do. But the game stuck so much with me that it’s one I’ve replayed the most.

This game holds a place dear in my heart. Growing up we had a Nintendo 64, the clear green one that was bundled with the game. But at the same time my parents thought video games were bad so to prevent me from palying too much, it was the only game we had for years (apart from some NES games, eventually got two more 64 games). So I played the hell out of it. I lost count of how many times I did the 101% completion.

I am a french canadian, I can assure you niche is a french word, so Nish is technically the “correct” way of pronouncing it. Never heard it pronounced the french way by americans, only neesh. Maybe it has to do on where you are in the US tho.

Pretty sure the english pronunciation is Neesh, but the origin is french and is closer to Nish.

People think theory = hypothesis. A theory is something proven, which started as a hypothesis…

There are many genes that affect the color of our hair and skin. Dark colors are caused by higher amounts of melamine in hair/skin. Those darker traits are dominant genes. In the same vein, two black people can have a child that will have lighter skin than them if the parents carry recessive genes and pass them on.

But it is even more complex than that because there are so many factors that affect the expressivity of genes : the environment, the diet or even other genes.

And don’t get me started on genre/sex… Biology is sooo complex, and genetics is just one of its branch, but people want to believe it’s simple to justify their bigotry. I studied biology for two years at university and I just know that I know practically nothing about it…

Number is pretty low in comparison to most comments on here, but I have 380 hours in FTL, so there’s that lol.

Might I add, a 10 scale is too granular for most people. It should be on 5. Most people have their scale start at 5 and go above. The only time they will go below is to give a 1 to a movie they hated.

Rotten Tomatoes is a review aggregator. They don’t decide what score the movie will have. The critics submit their reviews and the score is the percentage of critics who’s own score is at or above 60%. It also shows the average rating. I think having hese two metrics is a great way to actually see if a movie is worth watching.

I also check out IMDb scores but it shows that it’s mostly generated by regular users. And the average user doesn’t know jack about cinema. Just looking at the top 250 : how is Shawshank the best movie of all time ? It’s a great movie, but come on… just in general there are so many average movies that rank way too high while actual masterpieces are under the 100th position. It’s not a ranking of the best movies OAT, it’s a ranking of the most agreeable movies OAT.

Edit : The score is calculated on if a review is positive or negative. It does not specify what score is considered a positive review, I guess it is up to the critic submitting it. They also removed last year the average calculator which is sad…

Same with Daft Punk. I have listened so much to Alive 2007 and it breaks my heart that I could have seen that show live in my city if I had not been a stubborn teen who “only listens to real music” (rock and metal).

I feel like there is a wordplay I am missing here considering the TMBG reference on the other poster.

I understand your point because often in a lot of hobbies, when you are a newbie, people can be very condescending to you. But I still think that it’s abnormal the number of people that know nothing about cooking, since, contrary to most hobbies, it is essential for us to eat.

However I think that the real problem is that most people are so overworked and we have so much responsabilities, that it is almost a luxury to take the time to cook in our society. I am pretty sure there would be wayyy more people enjoying cooking if they could take their time doing it.
