That thing where I'm looking up a game I'm interested in trying out and the top result is some hot take from Reddit about how the game is "overrated garbage" or something. I don't know why Google thinks I want to see that shit.

[up] I agree.

And speaking of Google, I would ban that thing where I'm trying to look up a word, phrase or thing and every result I get is some band or song I don't care about that's named after said word, phrase or thing.

Tbh I never really hated his minigames in the original, but they did make them better in the remake.

I would put a law to oblige webpages to input an ACTUAL title to their articles.

What I mean?

By example, let´s suppose Gears of War is going to PS 5 and then a game site decides to takes on the clickbait and inputs

"This award winning from Microsoft will have its debut on PS 5 in December"

And to add more temptation, put an image of the main character. I HATE THAT.

Or, what about those that puts almost the entire article in the title so you will be tempted to click...

Like

"Gears of War, the award winning game from Microsoft will debut on PS 5 on December 2025"

What you see in your mobile

"Gears of War, the award winning game from..."

for God´s sake!!!

[up] [up][up][up]

And I am agree with those stations that only play hits, specially those that focus on current songs, like being obliged to love (or hate) the newest song of Bad Bunny or Taylor Swift.....

Also, sometimes I would be happy if Spotify´s algorythms do not do the same... I mean, songs like "APT" were really easy to infect the brain of someone by playing 5 times... despite is hateful... argh

I would get a restraining order against people who walk up to strangers to tell/force them to hear about their religious beliefs or politics.

[up][up]honestly all snowclone meme comments. I go to the comments to see if anyone has anything to add, correct, if there's discussion about something, but it's become such a slop fest where everyone is just chasing the easy upvotes for no reason. Special mention for "Who still listening in 20XX" comments on songs, which above adding nothing, also just age out in a few months.

I think gambling app ads should already be illegal in the EU so I want that ban to be enforced, especially on this new crp of ones that use stock footage but label the locations to be [city near you]. Though it was funny seeing one of those ads with badly translated Finnish and Finnish flag pins in the corner but showing "footage" "from" a bunch of cities in Sweden.

Naming your kid anything with "li" sound in it and changing it to "leigh" (ex. Haleigh, Brayleigh, etc)

Associating the pentagram with evil/darkness/hell/etc, when it's actually a symbol of protection against evil.

This is more troping territory, but low-effort Tsunderes who only really exist to fulfill checkmarks on what makes a good anime, who milk Double Standard: Abuse, Female on Male for all its worth.

[up]However, Helga Pataki is how to do Tsundere right. Give them character outside of their polarising love interest.

Any anime that was far too many sequences of the girls squealing/moaning. Especially if it's for some dumb reason, like spilling food on your clothes or something.

Pointless cynicism, as in, complaining and seeing the negative about every single little thing or person.

It builds character.

Negative generalizations. I know that everyone tends to them, heck, they’re incredibly common in multiplayer game fandoms, what with “X mains are Y” and whatnot, but when you start to describe actual people, places, or culture, then it’s no bueno. It may based in truth, but it doesn’t do anyone any favors.

It builds character.
