I might as well say that the Wii U onscreen keyboard is nicer to use than the iOS one, especially for entering things like BBCode or HTML. Apple should take a cue from Nintendo on that end. I like tabs better than having to press a button twice.

That, and someone really needs to get on making a really good, accurate and pleasant to hold stylus for apple stuff (Or really anything with a capacitive touch screen).

Unless someone already has and I'm not looking hard enough... How much you wanna bet Crapple will make one and sell it for 50 dollars even though it only costs 5 to make...

  • Call me chauvinist, but the clothing of today doesn't really bother me, and I kinda like it too, unless: too much sideboob, or I can see your fricken buttcheeks. And for men, I think sagging is the most idiotic thing there is (it was literally created in prison to say you're up for buttsex).
  • I like playing games with my thumb tip and joint (i.e. the y and b buttons on the DS systems).
  • I hate almost all of the Sonic/Sonic related fandom.
  • MLP is okay, but I've grown tired of it.
  • I actually really prefer furries to people.
  • I hate both Gamecube and Wii Classic controllers. I actually like the newer ones with PlayStation and XBox.
  • I still find Minecraft fun and enjoyable, even if it lacks the magic it used to have, it has many elements I have yet to fully explore.
  • I think being a girl would be awesome, even if periods exist.
  • Most fandoms just blow. I prefer to just enjoy and create based upon things, not straight up copy stuff about it or talk about it 24/7.
  • Fedoras are fedoras, not status or style symbols.
  • Most memes are either shit or misused to the point of being shit.
  • Wearing shorts in the rain feels amazing.
  • ROMs should be allowed by companies such as Nintendo or Playstation, rather than being endorsed by being dissed by said companies (or at least that's how I see it. People want to be rebellious.).
  • Homework should be more focused on helping with rememberance, not on being challenging.
  • (Most) Linux and Windows (Excluding 8 and Vista so far) Operating Systems are better than any OSX due to their greater flexibility.
  • Android is better, even in terms of interface when you customize it.
  • Graphics make 50℅ of the game. Not 90 or 10.
  • Everyone who sees blue and black is bullshitting unless they're a photographer, and even then, it's an optical illusion. Everyone sees it unless they're color blind. You're not special. So shut up.
  • Several SYS members have gotten pissy recently from what I've seen.
That's about all I can say ;P

Also: When I say fandoms or the like, I mean flambuoyant and obsessive/extreme people. Not a "hey, every once in a while I'll make something from this thing I like."

It totally is. I prefer the X and A buttons when playing NSMB,, NSMB2, and virtual console games on my 3DS. But that's just me.

So, you think that socialism would work better in other countries but not in America? I'm not very politically inclined but I'm sure people are curious why you say that, regardless of what they believe themselves.

According to Cake, it's wierd, unnatural, stupid, and whatever insults he's thrown at it. No one says he's ignorant about it but me though, so I dunno. Default A B seems more popular apparently.
And most people don't delve into any of the perceptions of games from what I've seen, just taking it at face value makes a game more boring than exploring it and putting your own ideas into it, or taking them from it. (Just a response to the general idea that it's solely chuckecheese jumpscares, when it isn't JUST that.)
Here's a thing:
  • I like generalizations. As long as I can prove them wrong and/or I don't see them 9/10 times the subject is mentioned.

I don't remember what I saw but I remember being aware that the dress is literally confirmed to be blue and black

Such length...
Here's my take on fandoms since I was a bit wordy and stuffs (I think): I hate flambuoyance of fandoms.  It makes for generally irritating conversations, and little variation in topics.  And often with styles of art, they tend to not improve much at all, they sit there because it's similar to their fandom's way of doing things.  This is not always true, but to a point, often occurs, and makes people boring or obnoxious for myself personally to communicate with.
When I say furries, I mean animated/drawn fake people just because anything else reminds me of how futile my love life will ever be.  (Only partially joking, I'd rather hug something fake than just out of reach)
In regards to the dress, I did mean blue and black. Since that's the actual color. Explanation: Internet is displayed on a computer screen with rgb crystals/bulbs that show a pixel of a color.  If the lense captured these colors and they are being displayed this way, you literally cannot see the real colors.  Because you are looking at a screen.  Period.

By fans, do you mean anyone that enjoys it at all, or people who are really really obsessed with it? It's hard to tell when you just say "fans".

To be honest, this thread was a pretty stupid idea to begin with.
This has pretty much been a hate thread since it was made, and the other part of the posts in here have been "things you wouldn't know about me otherwise".

Agreed, but I think that's because of improper use.

Hatred isn't unpopular; in fact it's just the opposite - almost everyone in this thread has hated on some group of individuals or another. This isn't the complaining thread, guys.

Hating isn't the equivalent of complaining. I (at least in my opinion) backed up my points with legitimate reasoning. But the continued not-following-the-point-of-the-topic that's going on that I said needed to stop... IS STILL GOING. So if you seriously have a problem with something, take it up with a damned PM.

Mari0 SE is not finished and will likely never officially be "finished".

And overall all things considered, that's probably the best way to wrap Mari0 as a project up.

How's that for unpopular opinion

I think kids and teenagers are pretty much all spoiled, annoying and careless. And when I mean "pretty much all" I don't mean 90% of them, I mean nearly every single one of them.
Despite this forum being made of pretty much only kids and teens, I guess *someone* would agree with me...

I feel that America is really good at small government, and that these "liberal" things we're starting like "universal healthcare" are really misguided and not really what they're "supposed to be". Other, socialist countries like Sweden seem to get by really well, and I respect that system a lot. I just feel that as a country we are stuck in our extremely corporation-oriented ways, and that these advances shouldn't really belong.

Several people wrote:hate thread
...
"A thread designed to bring out different ways of thinking, that are in the minority, that I probably won't agree with? It has to end up being a hate thread."
...
That doesn't speak much to the thread itself. It speaks to you. Anyone who's saying this and is just brushing off opinions as "dumb" and "stupid." It's a hate thread because you're making it that instead of discussing things.

I've already discussed several interesting things and learned a bit from this thread. Seems my unpopular opinion of the day would be that quite a few people in this community aren't open to discussing and "stepping out of their box" so to say. Which sounds really close to the opposite of why many of us (including me) are here in the first place.

I'm not being negative here, it's only natural that the many people who are interested in taking in other peoples' perspectives are a lot more present as pro-discussion than those that are anti-discussion. That makes sense.

I just wanted to point out that this sounds a lot more tolerant and well said than what I recall you saying a while back about "gay people being a problem" as in people are a problem...
While I strongly disagree with the notion that gender impacts morality or just about anything, I can completely understand why you might have moral constrictions to something that is unnatural from your eyes. I just strongly hope that you don't judge people simply for having a different and quite irrelevant to you general belief on something.
That being said, I find all sex gross and weird and dumb, so you would think I could piss off everybody! I disagree with the notions of people on both sides that someone's sexuality can define them in any concrete way. And yes, I see a lot of that from both sides.

I'm very anti-classifications as a whole, to be honest.
Defiant Shout wrote:Fedoras are fedoras, not status or style symbols.
Agree.
I just think they look cool. Not too many occasions where I can wear one but I like the look.

That being said, I'll still laugh at jokes that poke fun at a stereotype. As long as they're jokes and don't actually attempt hostility towards what is stereotyped.

- I hate when people negatively generalizes a group without even considering that there's ALWAYS at least one asshole on every "group" and they think that because of them all the group is like that.
-"Hey i don't like this, so why would anyone like it?" Yeah i personally hate this too.
- Also i liked the second Avengers movie and i don't see why a lot of people hated it.

That sounds all fine and dandy until you hear about people refusing treatable early cancer treatment because it would put their family into debt.
99% of the issues with the old American healthcare are "Don't get sick/hurt or you'll be in debt forever" and "Pre-existing conditions aren't covered by your expensive insurance".
Same with student debts which (and I'm probably wrong) you can't get rid of even by declaring bankrupcy.

Mari0 1.6 is more or less stable, and SE releases are basically just public alphas. Still a better ending than Silent Hill.

Yeah and I get that. I guess the point I was trying to make was that America should be the place to live if you like small government, etc. I know it's less than reasonable to say "everyone that doesn't like it here: Get out" but that seems like the most convenient answer as far as I can understand (I hope to leave someday -- temporarily or permanently).
