Yeah, that's right. In Europe Nintendo did not give a fuck during those days. The couldn't even be fucked distributing their own fucking console there. So the makers of Barbie™ did it for them.

Nah, just joshing around with ya.

Your pic is still a neckbeard. He's working on one right there. Fat, fedora, plus the ponytail. Playing an SP in public.

The facial aesthetics give it away too; weak jawline and chin, poor posture, receding hairline (covered up by the stupid hat), wide forehead and slightly bulbous eyes. It's not just an aesthetic though, it's a lifestyle - and that's what makes it obvious. There's letting yourself go a bit, and then there's just not giving a fuck.

I know, ironic post since I'm on /vr/ but you can game and lift, it's not either/or.

[Anonymous No.3453606]

I don't get it, what's the difference between a neckbeard and a beard? Is a neckbeard just a beard without a mustache? Because most of the beards here just have hair on the bottom of the chin, not on the neck. I think that would look pretty stupid if you took off all the bottom of the chin hairs, and just had the rest be long.

[Anonymous No.3453683]

>>3453606
A neckbeard is unkempt, raggedy, a sign of laziness and lack of self respect, a regular beard is well maintained and fashionable.

It's also a matter of facial features, some people just can't wear a beard.

I agree that it doesn't hold much of a candle to OoT for the most part, but it's still very much a rather admirable entry on its own boots, especially for something developed in a very constrained timeframe. Gotta agree with >>3454826 though; WW was just squandered potential in almost every aspect aside from the visuals, swordplay, and music, which is all done better by TP anyways.

some of us unironically like majora's mask more. it has a more interesting setting and theme, the sidequests and world felt more alive and had more content, and were just more interesting. the story actually existed, for one. there was more variety in gameplay, and the settings had more nooks nd crannies.

the dungeons could have been worse though.

I also like windwaker, though it was obviously the worst of them. it underutilized pretty much everything it tried to do.

why weren't the pirate platforms more fun to fight?

why was there no diving?

why didn't boat combat, such as fighting the squids, have more dynamism, or boat damage? why were the dungeons so bad?

I never used to see hipsters around until the last year, over the last year they've just been popping up all over the place, even dudes dying their hair pink and everything while wearing those big ass shitty hipster glasses.
A couple of old friends from years ago are pretentious hipsters. One of my best friends became a huge whiteknighting reddit faggot, I ended up hanging out with him less and less, we used to play a lot of good ol' retro vidya and modern vidya together. He's unironically used the word Problematic, and discussed whether things in a game were sexist or not. That was the last time I saw him.

Also a very large increase around here in fat pimplefaced 20-somethings women with their hair dyed all sorts of crazy colours. They all have that permanent look on their face, I can't quite describe it, that mean/bitter mouth shape that feminists always seem to have.

I find this highly true for OoT as well. Despite it being rather revolutionary for its time, again I find playing this and MM rather empty experiences compared to their 2D counterparts and there are definitely parts that have an unfinished feel to them (Zora's Domain anyone?). Of course they're still better than the later 3D entries, but that isn't saying much.
