Dragons and stuff puke all the time in D&D, though. They just propagandize their upchuck as elemental breaths and whatnot, trying to make murder!hairballs sound dignified.

Does anyone else hate 60Hz / 120Hz or whatever refresh rates it is that makes things look "too smooth" on movies/games?

I don't mean the weird "soap opera" effect (which I also hate), but just the higher refresh rate effect.  Or maybe it is the same thing, just implemented differently.

It's fine in games, sucks in live action movies. It sometimes works with 3D animated cartoons though.

Lets use the ancient naval art of training war parrots. No one will realize they have been boarded by space war parrots until it is to late!

You can fake being able to run on water. You can't fake looking cool when you break your foot on a door and hit your head on the floor.

My brain can't handle it in games - something feels "off" about them.  Or maybe it's because the games that feel "off" only feel off if they are "accelerated" - I have a few PS4 games that, when played on the PS5, are subject to this effect.

None. They're only around because the evolutionary arms race between parasites and hosts is biased towards the parasites. It's the classic "Lost lunch vs Lost life" asymmetry.

Isn’t that millennials or am I woefully behind in the arbitrary labelling for generations?

Pretty sure it's millennials -> gen x -> wait no gen x -> millennials -> gen z

They're apparently calling what's after z gen alpha, according to quick google.
