LOZ: Breath of the Wild, Resident Evil 7 and Friday the 13th The Game all look great!

Here’s what it is:
Maybe he’s trying to confuse Id into leaving?
Believe me: there’s no confusion on my part. I realized Movie Freak was merely an abject lobotomite a long time ago.
Here’s the first result on Google Images for “Movie Freak”:
Pretty much every car I saw today was either white or red.
Weird.
Did you hit your head before posting that?
No way! I took my full dose of capsules right before posting that!

Hm… perhaps I should subtitle that so it’s just one big misunderstanding
You mean all this time, my mom’s been worshipping QUIGGLY JOHN???
The best way to end this nonsense is to entirely disregard the posts and very existences of the perpetrators.
That sure did a bang-up job of getting rid of me.

That wasn’t even funny.
Yet your wry retort has the studio audience in stitches! I see that I’m out of my league, here!
This one is truly puzzling.
You’re a terrible person. Congratulations.
No.
I’m your conscience.

I just got back from a long roadtrip and one of the places I wanted to visit was Death Valley. Very cool place if you like the outdoors. But, it also was the location of several filming locations of Star Wars and Jedi. I so wish I couldve been about 11 or 12 instead of my age now. But alas, im older now and it still was very neat to actually stand on Tatooine, so to speak. Ill add some more pics later, but heres one place I visited. After looking at the photos, I realized the actual shot was a bit further to my left due to the angle of a few of the peaks in the distance. But, I was still there. I cut and paste Artoo just for the heck of it into my photo. I tried to adjust the color to closer match the actual movie. If any of you ever get the chance to go out there, it is a very neat park to visit. Most folks dont care about going there because of the heat, but its tolerable and a very, very cool place to explore. There are very view people there, so you pretty much have free reign of the place to do as you please. Just make sure you have a reliable vehicle though. Getting in and out is really hard on your car. The temps range quite a bit too. At the Mos Eisley overlook, it was 84 while down in the valley, it was 118! Also, the one thing to consider is that the dunes are ever changing, and it has been 40 years since this scene was filmed. So you have to do a little exploring to find the dunes that match the shot as close as possible.
Looks like the Mos Eisley overlook shot was taken from a higher angle with a longer focal length. My shot just isnt high enough and not shallow enough in DOF to match properly.
Looks cool.

I care what?
FOCUS MORE ON MY SCREEN
BASICALLY LOOK ME IN THE EYE RATHER THAN OGLING MY CASE
I care?
That’s an Apple II.
Huh.
I did include an image, so it’s vaguely on topic.
I think I’ll skip those, thanks.
Macsimizers…
Ha.

What does it autosave?

But didn’t you say that everyone fullscreens their windows anyways? So docked to the application is exactly the same as docked to top in 90% of the cases.
And even if you have multiple windows on the screen at the same time, it makes much more sense to me to look at the top of the application, since when all menubars are at the top, you first need to check which one is active before you use the menubar.The application name is in the menubar.
Yeah, but let’s assume you have two windows, one on the right half, one on the left. You’re working in the left window, now you want to use the menu from the right one.
In Windows, you simply move your mouse to the right window and click on the menubar, when using a mac, you first need to move to the right, activate that window, then move back to the top left where the menubar is. Seems unnecessarily complicated to me.I have been there.
I didn’t find it very ergonomic!
It was still happening six months after I started using a Mac and I’ve never had that issue on PC.
If it was more obvious which window was in focus when you have a bunch of non-maximized screens open without having to stop and read some text, I might be temped to call it user-friendly.
Active window titlebars are darker than inactive window titlebars.
When you’re on autopilot and thinking about other things, it’s often not obvious.
My workflow was a lot of times “Move file from A to B, try to open menu for A, open menu for B, sigh with annoyance, click on A, open A menu”
I think we’ve beaten this horse to death by now.
One of my favorite things about OS X is autosave. No more constantly pressing ⌘S!

Since you can have the Photoshop toolbars up around the edges of your screen but work on something else in the middle, I don’t know how many times I went to click what I thought was the “Photoshop” menu but was actually “Finder” or whatever other window I was just in. Very annoying.

It is, yes, but it’s far more intuitive (for me at least) to just know that the menu bar will be for the window I have on top than to stop and make sure I’m clicking the right thing.
I think we’re coming down to a ergonomics vs. “intuitive” argument.
I come down on the side of ergonomics.

I’ve got multiple monitors, man. One gets the thing I’m working on or the game I’m playing and the others get other windows and things I don’t need to focus on. Things like explorer or whatever never get maximized, but if I’m using Office or Photoshop or Maya or whatever, I want to focus on that.
If I had ten small windows open on my main monitor, I’d lose my mind. Too much clutter.
Also I meant to add that I use hotkeys for just about everything they hide in those upper menus anyway.
Reasonable.
Ah yeah that’s it, then. The thing is that if I’m using a specific program, I’m probably going to keep it maximized since I’m likely working on/reading/whatevering something I want to see all of.
In other cases, as a lifetime PC user, I’ve gotten so used to going it the Windows Way™ that when I started using that Mac at work it it took me a minute to figure out where the File Menu was. It just boils down to what you’re used to, really.
Maximizers. . . .
Lemme try to run it down as I’m understanding it…
You were saying that the Mac icon menu makes a Mac easier to use because the Windows Explorer File Menu isn’t docked to the top of the screen (and maybe because it doesn’t have the same functionality?).
I was saying that the Windows Start Menu has nearly-identical function to the Mac icon menu, it’s just docked on the bottom (I can move it to the top if I wanted though…) and that the File Menu in Windows Explorer isn’t something I have much of a use for in general.
I’m just so tired I’m missing the point of contention I guess? Apples and Apples, isn’t it (haha pun)?
You’re misunderstanding. Perhaps I need to be more clear:
So, in Windows, application menubar are docked into the application. In OS X, the menu bar is docked to the top of the display. The docked-to-top style is better since you can just move your mouse quickly up to the top, rather than moving the mouse to a moving target.
I was using this as a microcosm of a larger difference between OS X and Windows.
(P.S.: It’s the “Apple menu”)
OSX’s layout being more logical and user-friendly?
Expand on that, please.
Explaining why OSX layout is bad is like explaining why unicorns aren’t real.
