In that case your comment doesn't make much sense, because when people say "don't trust that torrent site" they mean the contents of the torrents hosted there. In fact, if you use magnets, you don't download anything at all from torrent sites ever.

Don't you ever pirate software?

In other words, wizards do exist, they are just called IT specialists.

Why? What grammatical mistake did I make?

Game is game. Play whatever brings you joy. Except FIFA, of course.

Lemmy often assumes the worst about comments. I think people interpreted* your comment as "can you imagine this woman I know enjoys this kiddy game?!". While you really meant, I think, "some adults like to play Fortnite, too, actually".

Correct me if I'm wrong.

It's not better, it's just different, your comparison is flawed.
Personally, I prefer analog watches for most cases, because it's much easier for me to do calculations visually. To add 6 to 7/19 on a digital clock I need to turn on my math brain (19+6=25, 25>24 => 25-24=1), but on an analog watch I can just visually read the number opposite of 7.

And that's just one example, there are other cases, besides just being easier to read at a glance. I've used both digital and analog watches since birth, but analog watches are marginally better for daily use, where to the second precision isn't necessary.

I wasn't making it sound bad. I'm just saying how it is. We wouldn't tolerate game mechanics like those nowadays. That's all I'm saying.

It's a possibility, if they really wanna play the game. Nowadays we are so spoiled for choice that we would just either switch to another game or pick up the phone.

My brother and I were, like, 7 and 10, respectively, when we played this. Some things on the list were obvious, others (the heck is a "slalom"?!) we had to guess just by doing every possible thing you could do with a car. A couple day's work, bada-bing bada-boom.

People definitely would've given up nowadays.

They likely don't have brands and the ingredients are open source. They probably just have "cola" entry and then you can tweak the ingredients amount, with predefined templates, named by the author. By default it just gives you the most popular version, I suppose.
