I think about this way more than I'm happy to admit.

Common sense, maturity, humility, and curiosity are all extremely important to me in a partner. Whether my potential partner is book smart is significantly less important to me than whether they treat others with respect and wanting to improve themselves.

With the superficial stuff out of the way, the bottom line is that the thing that matters most is whether or not I want to spend my limited time with them.

Bleach, a saw, and cat litter.

I would switch mechanics and atmosphere myself, but I agree overall that it is 2-2. Both are good for different reasons and they weirdly do not overlap on any of them with the exception of music which both were only slightly above average. With that said the OoT soundtrack is much more memorable. There is only a single FF7 track that I actually remember well.

Water Temple itself was not bad. What was bad was having to pause to switch boots. There are mods nowadays to allow equipping boots to the d-pad and it makes the temple much more fun.

This. I don't understand why people think diversity is a bad thing. True democracy and progress comes when everyone is well represented and everyone's opinions are heard.

With that said we have a lot of institutional barriers that need to be utterly demolished before the people will actually be heard. We have a long way to go, and the first step is to participate in your local elections and vote for the people who actually listen.

Your credit, which is a fancy name for the profile that financial companies build on you to determine whether you are able to pay back loans. When you apply for a credit card, get a loan, rent an apartment, or buy a car, the seller will look at your credit to determine whether you are a risk of not paying and will use this info to set interest rates and payment plans.

Locking your credit means preventing these financial institutions from releasing your financial information to people who request it. This will prevent malicious actors from opening lines of credit in your name, but it will also prevent you from doing so as well.

Unfortunately in the US we can't tell a single entity that we do not want this information released. We need to inform multiple entities not to release this info since they are all independent.

I have never had a phone that has successfully unlocked the first time using biometrics. I wouldn't say it is a solved problem or a solution. There are also implications with law enforcement when using biometrics. They can't force you to unlock something with a password, but they can forcefully unlock something with your fingerprint.

If I had to hire an archer to defend my castle she would be at the top of the list.

The simplest advice I can give is to not ignore the compiler warnings. Sure your app may compile, but the warnings are there for a reason. Every warning is tech debt.

A key reminder the "One vote doesn't matter." argument is bull crap when hundreds of thousands of people have that mentality. One vote doesn't matter when everyone else actually votes. Hundreds of thousands are not voting. Stop being a prick and go vote.

Ocarina of Time randomizer has a lot of replay value for me. The game itself is secondary to the routing of getting items.
