The Some Like It HOT TAKES thread

I like my pancakes made from eggs.

HOT TAKE: The Ruby programming language isn't that great. Fight me.

Your poor implementation of recursion is no match for my syntactical errors!

First Bortles and now Ruby. This thread is talking a lot of sh*t and is gonna get hit.

Blake Bortles threw pick-sixes off his own receivers' feet in two consecutive weeks; pointing out Bortles sucks is at best a MARGINALLY LUKEWARM TAEK.

I heart Ruby.

I have no idea wtf a Bortles is. I assume some kind of reptile.

Heartbreak, mostly.

HOT TAKE: Final Fantasy 8 was fine. I don't see what all the fuss is about.

All the Final Fantasy games are equally mediocre in the same ways. People's preferences have more to do with when they played them than with the quality of the games themselves.

HOT TAKE: I found the ending of Mass Effect 3 somewhat unsatisfying.

HOT TAKE: Duke Nukem Forever really wasn't very good.

HOT TAKE: Video games are fun.

This thread has gone too far.

HOT TAKE: this thread almost certainly belongs in Everything Else, also warrants a dedicated thread in D&D.

I can understand why a lot of people would DRAW a different conclusion.

Psh. FF8 can go die in a Fira.

Hot take: I don't get this thread, but for some reason it's giving me a severe case of fomo, so I have to follow it.

The thread is the game.
Also, Mario isn't the holy gaming relic some people think it is. This includes those mediocre 'Kart' games.
Also, this thread is sort of like the Trump administration.

I had originally thought of this as a gaming related hot take thread. I guess it does belong in "everything else" technically.

HOT TAKE: Recreational villain's take - the thread is the game - is good enough justification for me to keep it here!

HOT QUESTION: Are people interested in separating out a D&D version of the thread? If there seems to be a quorum I can do that.

Eh, hot takes are fairly antithetical to the kind of discussions D&D is meant to have. I'd rather just not have hot takes on D&D topics, the desire to respond or demand evidence/sources would lead to them no longer being hot takes.

Tepid takes, for everyone!!!

HOT TAKE: Jennifer Aniston just isn't that cute/hot.

FF VIII is better than IX. IX is actually the laziest, most generic game in the series.

My preference would be that people refrain from doing HOT TAKES about the attractiveness of other people. HOT TAKES are better than that.

Arguing about which FF game after VII is good is like arguing which rib you would prefer broken.

I meant to post it in the Ice Cold Takes thread.

THIS is what a HOT TAKE looks like, people!

Heading things off before they slide into hotakke territory. Smart.

Closing counterclaim : I'd trade any of my horrible bosses for 'Horrible Bosses' Jennifer Aniston.

Sure, except you mean VI, because VII is bad, and isn't nearly as good as you remember it.

All good Final Fantasy games are alike; all bad Final Fantasy games are bad in their own way.

Sub-take: There actually aren't any good Final Fantasy games, because melodramatic, big-eyed teenagers saving the world will always be melodramatic, big-eyed teenagers, and I'd rather the world just end.

I played a little of the FF7 PC port more recently, it wasn't bad, but I take your point.
