[The Man of Many Names]

I'll sooner swim a pool that's straight-up yellow than swim in the ocean.

Hot takes about NBC shows?

 

[Honey Badger]

the only one i can remember is snl which doesn't interest me anymore

therefore nbc shows are forgettable and the network is washed up

hot take on orange juice, any kind (including the game)

 

[SprungGeoduck]

(stolen from a northernlion super auto pets video) orange juice you buy from the supermarket is literally just as bad for you as soda. just buy soda, it tastes nicer.

hot take on... nintendo switch

 

[Neb]

The Switch’s form factor and poor battery life make it terrible as a handheld. I’d much rather take my 3DS on the go. That being said the Switch is a decent, if underpowered home console.

How about a hot take on the Pokémon Ranger spin offs?

 

[KirbySSU]

They should’ve put a game on the Wii, using the remote cursor would’ve been funny. As. Shit.

Also guardian signs is good

Hot take on the Kirby games (games, not character)

 

[KitkatKK2]

Kirby games are just secret horror games but only at the final boss

Hot take about erasers?

 

[Neb]

Those light pink erasers that just smudge everything should stop being made. They're absolutely terrible.

Since we're doing classroom supplies, how about a hot take on pencils (of any kind)?

 

[SimplyUnknown]

Pencils are superior to pens in all ways and mechanical pencils are top tier. Really don't understand why more people don't use mechanical pencils.

Hot take on mythical Pokemon?

 

[KitkatKK2]

Honestly, I'm ok with the "Here's a code, have a mythical" giveaways. My low attention span allows for those much better than the gen 4-esque ones.

Hot take on Peeps? (the marshmallow birds)

 

[ACottontail]

I don't remember ever having one, and as someone on an artificial sugar free diet, they look disgusting being made out of pure sugar. They also look like animals, and I just feel bad about eating very decorated food. For that same reason I've never eaten any of the chocolate bunnies I've gotten for Easter.

Hot take on glitches and/or letting the customer base be the debugging team and patching out glitches after release.

 

[Neb]

Developers shouldn’t force modders to bugfix their own games. This is especially true for older games like Skyrim. It’s amazing how they rerelease that game constantly and yet there are still tons of glitches. I’m glad fans have made Skyrim more playable, but it does show the laziness of the developers.

How about an unpopular opinion on cities?

 

[Honey Badger]

all cities are monuments to the hubris of man.

hot take on fish?

 

[Memento]

I fucking hate boned fish, especially if it still has its head on. I will flat out freak out. It stems from an unpleasant experience with my dad where he held a dead fish above me on a net, but I've never liked dead fish, and I will not eat non-fillets.

Hot take on Lord of the Rings?

 

[SprungGeoduck]

way too long for its own good, i remember reading the hobbit as a kid, then trying the LOTR trilogy and just getting so bored with the glacial pacing

hot take on The Netherlands?

 

[CrumpetsAndCheese]

The Nether from minecraft is cooler.
Hot take on tabloids?
