To be fair, if you're 20 now, you were 9 years old when the game came out. Sure you were disappointed that Banjo-Kazooie got turned into a different genre, but ideas and opinions change. You've changed, so I say just try to see the game in a new light, instead of echoing the opinion your 9 year old self had.
Games like Minecraft are now everywhere, creative games are at their peak, this game was one of the hidden gems of creativity.
Also for those of you who got offended by LOG in the beginning part of the game. You forget that Rare has always been cheeky and kinda mean-spirited but they mean it in all good fun. They're not hating on the previous games, they're knocking the wind out of your sails as a joke, like how they kept making fun of ghoulies.
Don't echo jontron or the others who just hate it to hate it, if you never played the game before, you should 100% try it, form an opinion of your own!
DISCLAIMER: NO, I'm not trashing on Nuts & Bolts, I'm just asking how you would feel.
Imagine this: the trailer plays out mostly the same, except that the Nuts & Bolts versions of Banjo & Kazooie were in Duck Hunt's place, mocking and laughing at Donkey Kong, Diddy Kong, and K. Rool (and the audience) for expecting the Banjo & Kazooie that we all know and love, before being stomped on by the Banjo & Kazooie that we're all familiar with.
How would you feel if this had happened?
So with Banjo-Kazooie: Nuts & Bolts getting an overall mixed reception at launch I thought how could the game been innovative with its intuitive vehicle creation but also keep the original fans happy. Then it hit me.Why not add both?
Why not allow Banjo-Kazooie on foot have their original moves and also allow vehicles to play with? Mumbo could easily be running Mumbo's Motors in each world as he does with his huts in the other games. Make it so if Humba either is transforming BK after they collect a glowbo or make it so she sells new vehicle parts per each world based on the notes collected.
Make jinjos collectible only by on foot travel instead of vehicle challenges. Make it so Jiggies are integrated into the world like Kazooie and Tooie instead of being mission based challenges.
For example in Nutty Acres:
You need to drain the lake with Talon Torpedo, by doing so the drained lake can be used as a race track,
which BK have the choice to use Turbo Trainers or their own custom vehicle.
Make it so there are certain vehicle parts the supplement platforming too. Like a shock spring pad or flight pad you can attach to your vehicle. The Egg Gun switches between eggs like you would if you were shooting them on foot instead of being individual things.
Make it so if your doing a race or something timed the rewards bar doesn't go Trophy > Jiggy > notes instead just make it so Trophy and Jiggy are rewarded thus people are less pressured to do something fast if they choose to play on foot.
Make it so boss fights aren't just Gruntilda. Like the Jiggoseum , why make it so I fight grunty in a giant lobster ship instead of fighting an actual giant lobster?
LOGBOX 720 wasn't even built with vehicles in mind, most of it is close and too compact for vehicles to travel more freely. So why not give us a reason to use on foot methods instead? Same goes for most areas in Terrarium of Terror.
There is definitely room to innovate BK without losing major aspects of what made the previous games great.Also make unique characters for each world instead of recycling the same eight.
1. Battle for the Healthcare Cloud
Electronic Health Record Battle Royale.
The battle is heating up between Big Tech titans as they compete for health data storage contracts (paywall - WSJ) with big-time health systems. As one of the final frontiers for Amazon, Google, and others, these Cloud contracts could get a foot in the door to work with healthcare folks that could result in long, lucrative relationships that expand beyond just the Cloud.
Recent Cloud deals announced included Google and the Mayo Clinic, Microsoft and Providence St. Joe's, and plenty of others. Generally, the agreements really are just for storage of healthcare and financial information. But we already know that Big Tech has plans to expand capabilities further, like including electronic health records and finding clinically useful information for trials and other treatments.
Of course, these developments come with a slew of problems - namely, privacy concerns (shout out HIPAA) and security issues (healthcare companies literally get hacked all the time) so…we'll see where it goes from here.
Tech firms don't care, though. How mad would shareholders be if they missed out on the market expected to reach $100 billion by 2025?

2. The Sobering Reality of Healthcare Tech?
Is a healthcare tech disruption in sight?
All of this talk about Big Tech has me thinking…how far ARE we from seeing true 'disruption' in healthcare?
The answer is….we're not quite there yet. As Axios reported this week, the healthcare system - and providers in general - have a bit of a ways to go to catch up technologically. We're moving in the right direction, but patients still don't really use much tech to actually benefit their health outcomes…yet. And the end result of healthcare innovation might be a bit messier than we think.
Still, there are plenty of positive and incremental takeaways e

But I think it looks good now in 4K. I'm sorry I didn't give it a real chance back in the day but it just wasn't the Banjo game I was looking for.
Sorry if this has been said before but I just think it would’ve been a neat little addition. Definitely not saying that art style was better but still would have been cool to see
Hi Everyone,
I seem to be running to an issue with the M365, and I could use some help hopefully as preventive maintenance to avoid future issues on the folding mechanism.
I just recently bought a Xiaomi m365 last weekend and one thing I am noticing is a growing issue on the folding mechanism after I use the electric scooter.
It looks like the middle nut and the bolt on the lock seem to be rubbing off each other which is causing a dent forming as well as metal getting scraped off.

I'm not seeing any issues yet on the folding mechanism. But I could use some advise or help to future proof and fix this issue which may cause long term damage. I am buying a spacer which will hopefully address this issue but any advise or a link to point me to the right thread to fix this issue would be appreciated. Thanks in advance! :)
ARCC’s Currency Reserve will be directly funded by the token raise and by an inflow of funds from investing in regional infrastructure and industry projects. 90% of the token raise will go to seeding this structure (50% to the reserve and 50% to the investments) and 80% of the profit from the regional infrastructure and industry projects will be the inflow of funding to the reserve. No outflow of funds, other than to carry out the monetary policy mandate, will ever be taken out of the ARCC currency reserve.
The ARCC Currency Reserve has three structural components: (i) the currency reserve, (ii) currency reserve inflow funding mechanism and (iii) underlying regional investments. The ARCC currency reserve interacts directly with the exchange market to buy and sell ARCC for the purpose of maintaining the ARCC Monetary Policy. This means that the ARCC Currency Reserve will have its own ‘monetary policy mandate’ of what dictates the price trajectory for ARCC and will be professionally traded on a daily basis. The ARCC Currency Reserve’s funds will also be managed by professional asset managers with the purpose of growing the non-traded funds (i.e. the amount of funds not in daily use for maintaining the monetary policy).

So I will in close future finally have played through Banjo Tooie, God it took me a long time before I aquired the game, and then finally sat down to play it..
But yeah, know that I have played Banjo Tooie a good while I just can't get enough Banjo and was considering Nuts & Bolts, but I have understood it so that fans hate it, so what is the hate about?
Good to know so that I don't end up wasting money
I was just listening to an interview on This Is Hell with Bhaskar Sunkara where he describes the ethical reasons for him becoming a socialist and I got to thinking about the arguments that usually happen here, about tax policy and co-ops vs top-down and history and blabbity bloo.
I tend to think, for the most part, people don't come to an ideology based on some specificity or technical aspect of it; they come to it based on feeling and the general worldview it reflects.
To be clear, I'm not saying this is a bad thing. Deep down I'm the most emotional sjw cuck you're likely to meet.
There's a thing psychologists call The Backfire Effect, in which an ideologically committed person confronted with the coldest and hardest of facts will dig their heels in and believe a wrong thing even more strongly, because to admit they were wrong would tear down a significant part of their personal identity and view of the world. A person who has spent their whole life believing climate change is a hoax will vigorously rationalize away the overwhelming scientific consensus. A person who has built their life on capitalism will rationalize away the most compelling of arguments for why this is an inherently exploitative system. Denial is a powerful thing.
I didn't initially become a socialist because I was really into the concept of worker co-ops or because I read about the Meidner Plan, I became one because I hated when people had power and authority for no good reason and abused it, whether it was a schoolyard bully or a villain on TV or a politician or a rich CEO. I hated that such a trivial and abstract thing as money was the reason some people live luxuriously and others live on the street. I became one despite being told in school from grade 3 on why communism was a failure because it's demotivating. My conclusion wasn't "Well I guess people can't be equal", it was "Well, obviously they're doing a good thing the wrong way". Anyone can have good goals but bad tactics, or they can be dishonest about their goals. It's not hard to figure out.
For this reason, I don't think the people on here super committed to one thing or the other are that way because of the specifics. We're not a bunch of Spocks logically deciding on the best system, we're emotional beings choosing an ideology based on what makes us feel good inside. Taxes, workplace democracy, political campaigns, these are all just ways of achieving our goals after we've already decided on them, and our o

I feel like a lot of the anxiety I felt before starting school last year stemmed from not having a solid sense of what I would be doing on a day-to-day basis in school, or how to do it well. As a rising 2L, I'm hoping I can help with that. I already wrote a general guide to 1L that's stickied at the top of the sub, but I was a little vague about what you actually do each day, so I thought I'd put this together. These are basically comments I've written in PMs to people that I've copied and pasted into a post in case other people find them helpful.
There are basically three things that you'll do on a regular day in the early and mid-semester of 1L: Read for class, attend class, and outline. Here's a couple paragraphs on what each of those things really means, and my advice on how to do it well.
Reading for Class
A big part of your time in law school is going to be spent doing readings. These are going to be assigned by the professor just like they were by your undergrad professors - one class at a time, from a syllabus they give you at the beginning of the semester.
The reading will be assigned from a casebook. A casebook is basically just a collection of cases, often with a page or two of open-ended (and slightly cryptic) questions written by the casebook authors at the end of each case. A case will ordinarily have a few major sections: The facts, a summary of the precedent, and the court's holding. The cases in a casebook have been edited for concision, but there is still going to be a lot of extraneous detail included, especially in the Facts section. At the beginning of the semester, it is often going to be very difficult to tell which facts are extraneous and which facts are relevant and should be included in your notes. I have a few tips to help with this:
- Check the Syllabus. What unit of the course is this included in? What is the title for that day's reading? These will give you a good sense of what the professor wants you to get out of this case and thus what is important to include in your notes.
- Don't start taking notes until you've reached the holding. This is when you'll finally start to understand what this case is about, and which facts the Court believes are important. As you get better at reading cases, you might be able to start taking more of your notes earlier in the case, but personally I still wait until the
