  • Bleach is awesome! Mix it with some water, use a rag or sponge and scrub. DO NOT mix anything else with the bleach. Bleach is basic, and a lot of other cleaning products are acidic. Mix a strong enough acid with a strong enough base and you get mustard gas. It doesn’t smell too great, on top of other issues. If you want to clean with bleach plus something, be safe and buy premade cleaner with bleach.

    EDIT: I should also say you can’t use bleach on everything, it can damage some things. Always test a small, hard to see area before you clean a surface with bleach. For the stuff that you can’t get bleach on, you can use white vinegar or all-purpose cleaner.









  • You’ve answered your own question. You like 3rd-person shooter platformers, a genre which isn’t as prevalent as it was in the 6th generation of consoles. Not as many games are coming out that fit your tastes. You’re also nostalgic, which is perfectly fine, but you have to take off the goggles sometimes. I like Mario Sunshine better than a lot of modern 3D platformers, because I’ve been playing it for years and it was a big part of my childhood. But just because I love revisiting that game more than playing a new game sometimes, that doesn’t mean modern games aren’t reiterating and improving upon the things that made it great. A Hat in Time, Psychonauts 2, The Cosmic Shake, Spark the Electric Jester, Orbo’s Odyssey, SEUM, Frogun, New Super Lucky’s Tale, Supraland, Crash 4. So many great 3D platformers in recent years, with a ton of improvements to quality of life and control compared to where we were back in the day, as well as many new concepts.

    Also, claiming that PS2 platformers as a whole look better than modern platformers as a whole is ridiculous, and you’re also giving no examples of either case.












  • I’d say there are more people willing to call bullshit on a spokesperson for a large company than to believe them. There are people who are good at calling out bullshit, and people who aren’t, but I think that only comes into play if there truly is a mind-numbingly, obviously nefarious goal such as the example you’ve given; at the end of the day, it comes down to what you want to believe and where you place your trust. You use X as an example, a company in which you clearly have no trust (wise). But, if a company you believed to have a clean track record and whose products you trusted made statements about their product, then you’d be more inclined to take it at face value than to look into it more. Furthermore, just because someone is trying to sell to you doesn’t mean they have to lie to you to do it, choosing to believe their pitch should be dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

    And if people see two statements that are that contradictory, yet refuse to research the matter and just believe what they hear?

    Then yeah, they’re just gullible.
