Mostly to be more efficient and save water, though I couldn’t fathom how that would work with a toilet. Perhaps it’s part of a system to monitor your water usage to help you reduce your use? Maybe the app suggests to let it mellow when it’s yellow?

Yeah I think the meaning of the above comment boils down to “If it doesn’t have a simple fallback, it can’t be trusted”.

It won’t be quiet. It won’t be clean. It’ll be messy and painful for just about everyone.

See, your mistake is actually giving a damn what conservatives think.

I wonder if the US comes back from this, launches into a long series of progressive changes in the world’s biggest pendulum swing in centuries, and then all of Europe hits this fascist path it’s already starting in on, will Americans say snide things like “back in civilization”? Or will we know better?
Probably not.

I’m still hanging out enjoying Balatro and WoW: Cataclysm Classic this week, but I’ve also decided to take gran turismo 5 for a spin. Genuinely great game, I’m glad I was able to find a copy.

I think it has more to do with the 117 million units the ps4 has sold, making the console more accessible

The PS4 and Xbox One came out a decade ago. The PS5 and Xbox Series X came out 4 years ago. What are you talking about?

Honestly, my argument that new and old games are both good would be to point straight at the Ratchet & Clank series.
In my opinion, it’s only gotten better with time, and the latest entry in the Series from 2021 is genuinely one of the greatest games I’ve ever played. It’s modern, cutting-edge, requiring a PCIe Gen4 SSD and a DualSense controller for the best experience. It’s just fantastic. New games, even AAA games, can be great so long as the project is being led by people who know how to make good games.

It’s not a controversial take, but survivorship bias is certainly strong with anything like this. People like classic rock because the bad songs from that era have faded into obscurity. The same goes for your favorite retro games; for every Ocarina of Time there was a Superman 64. For every Zelda there were 3 shitty LJN games.
The type of trash is just different. Instead of low-effort cash grab games, now we get high-effort overworked devs making a game that asks you to pay for it over and over again.

Downvote, move on
