    Linux Mint with the KDE desktop.

    Mint is basically Ubuntu but things like DVDs and Flash and other things work without needing extra setup. (ubuntu being the most popular linux distro, means you will be compatible with almost all linux software without needing extra setup.)

    KDE because it has loads of features and customize-ability.

    Doesn't mac's text to speech system date back to the 90s? Or did they swap it out at some point with the stuff from Nuance.

    I think you might be being a little over dramatic. We have used a-lot of resources, but Earth is still very large and if everything "reset" we would have enough resources to build back up to where...

    I think you might be being a little over dramatic. We have used a-lot of resources, but Earth is still very large and if everything "reset" we would have enough resources to build back up to where we are now.

    From a pessimistic point of view many of the animals and habitats that are going extinct arn't beneficial to the success of humans. They're just neat and we want to keep them around. Most all of the animals we rely on have been domesticated. (fish being the big exception here)

    Climate change is still going to be an issue, especially if it leads to extensive desertification.

    I know its kind of an anti-pattern , but the newer zeldas were too well made. When a game is cryptic and has some questionable design decisions you get invested from figuring things out. Basically every zelda game after windwaker had extensive guides and tutorials to ensure the player never gets stuck.

    When you go off on an adventure to explore unfamiliar lands you shouldn't get a tutorial. Whats the point of an adventure if everyone tells you how to do what you need to do.

    The recent BOTW was an improvement in this aspect but I found it to be dull for other reasons. (whats the point of saving the world if its already rekt, too much climbing, you get 90% of the interesting items in the first hour)

    I'm interested in learning more about Rage2 and possibly Borderlands3. Also hoping Waluigi gets in smash. (and thats its a new game and not a port of the wiiu version)
