look not to be rude but this isn't a hot take in the slightest. it's barely even a take tbh. more of a fact.

Dracovish: Do Not Ban is a hotter take
I'll stand with you brother and add onto this:
I don't understand why we have decided to add Bacon onto nearly every food we eat when there is better substitutes for most scenarios bacon is put into.
Bacon on Burgers is trash. If that Bacon really made your Cheeseburger taste better it was a shitty burger to begin with. Getting better quality control on the beef, mushrooms, onions, better condiments is what truly makes burgers taste at their peak. You can't simply double beef a burger and expect it to taste better.
Bacon on Breakfast Platters and Entrees (Biscuits / Sandwiches) is overrated. I have no idea why we have allowed this to continue when Breakfast Sausage or Sausage in general is the superior meat in the breakfast game. Most places serve Bacon like it's a wet greasy moustache and for the most part they are VERY stringy on how much bacon they gave you. I had more eggs and bread than I do actual meat when ordering anything breakfast related with Bacon.
Bacon on Mac'n Cheese is alright but there is better meat and there are supremely better ways of preparing Mac'n Cheese that don't require Bacon to be added onto it.
Bacon on Donuts is...actually pretty good and one of the best savory options you can add onto more sweet / bakery styled items. Otherwise,
Fuck Bacon
Tho that said the sentiment about it on burgers specifically is wrong. Bacon burgers only taste good when the rest of the burger also tastes good, and it gives a certain brand of saltiness that a burger normally lacks. I’ve had a lot of bad bacon burgers too, but burgers and pasta sauces are the two times bacon works imo.
Why did your post use strong language like "FUCK"
Why not just have a "normal opinion" about a burger topping and not a "strong opinion"
Mushrooms being a bad burger topping is really not that deep lol
Like I get this is the hot takes therad but hot takes aren't necessarily particularly strong
i don't mean this as a call out or anything i just am sorta sensitive to language choice ig. im probably reading into it further than i should.
So I saw a take from cookie in the cong hot takes thread from some time ago a month and two weeks ago. I bring this up because the take that follows is related to that one.

decided i support trump now so he can turn the usa into a dictatorship & abolish elections. that way i never have to see another fucking "REGISTER TO VOTE NOW" post on social media again.
like i don't even live in the right country. i am so sick of them.
gen 8 is actually pretty decent
i said this to unintentionally piss y'all Gen 8 haters off so hahaha

What do you dislike? The meta? The games themselves? The dex cut? Just curious :)
mans really bitched about none of the takes in this thread being hot before proceeding to suggest "gen 8 bad" is a hot take in any capacity
alright hot take time
what are generations in pokemon
there are too much hot takes in this thread

None of the characters I really want in Smash are because of the characters themselves. Rather, I think the fighters that could be made from them would be interesting.
- Guy from Nidhogg: If that sword is a battering item, then it would be "Home Run Contest the character" with crazy Z-drops and shit, and that would be sick.
- Paper Mario / Geno / Mallow: Action commands are dope.
- Deoxys: Each special move, in addition to being a conventional move, would also change Deoxys's form, which would affect all of its normals until it used a different special move. (Byleth could have been this, but he wasn't)
I mean, is that better or worse than having several of your top picks be primarlily for the chance to revitalize their original game series? Because that's where I'm at with my top 3. (Ray/Andy/Isaac for Custom Robo/Advance Wars/Golden Sun if you were curious)
I dunno if it's better or worse, it's just not a mindset I see very often (hence why it's here). Most people argue that a character should get into Smash because "they're relevant" or "they're an icon" or "they deserve it" or "I like the game they came from (this is usually the underlying reason)" or just generally reasons related to the character. Very rarely do I hear people say "I don't give a shit about the character, the fighter would be awesome".
Celebrity worship is a weird thing.
mushrooms are really good and people should put them into more stuff
versatile as well and an excellent food for weight loss! I mince mushrooms to use as a substitute for ground beef in tacos. Seasoned well it.... doesn’t taste like beef... lol... but it tastes great in its own right.
Reposting this from the old thread, because I have more to add:
Diamond and Pearl are better than HGSS and Platinum (but mostly HGSS).
So yes, Platinum is objectively better than DP but I still prefer DP.

A lot of this is just me preferring DPPt visuals. Many of DPPt's interfaces (HP bar in particular) are very similar to Gen 3 (which look great imo). To discern between DP and Platinum, I prefer the way the player looks in DP, as well as the cyllindrical menu buttons as opposed to Platinum's glossy, dome-shaped buttons
On the flip side, I find the HGSS interfaces (menu, status screen, Pokégear) to be clunky and inconvenient to use. Not having the Pokétch is shit too, because you have to actually go to Goldenrod to check happiness, and half the time, the Day-Care man never calls. The HGSS menus are also ugly as all hell.
Certain sprites (Porygon2, Octillery and Sneasel come to mind) have very nice shading, reminiscent of the gen 3 sprites with their intense highlighting and shadows. Platinum completely reverted this change by remove highlight from a lot of sprites, including the ones I just mentioned, and HGSS almost completely removes it from all sprites except the Hoenn Pokémon.
It sucks they don't have the Battle Frontier, but in terms of just having a Battle Tower, I appreciate how every Pokémon is available there, unlike RS where only Hoenn Pokémon were used. And, to be honest, the Gen 4 frontier is absolute shit. The only facility I actually use is the Tower and sometimes the Hall, since those are the only two where you can actually use items in your Pokémon and thus, use the sets you breed effectively. So I don't mind DP only having the tower.
As much of a bad gameplay decision it was on GF's part, there's something I strangely like about the new evolutions being unobtainable until post-game (and iirc, no trainers use them either). It's almost as if they were supposed to be a surprise to people who went into DP without knowing about them prior. However, DP could have done better by including other Pokémon to straighten out the type variety. But to be honest I don't give a shit about the lack of Fire-type Pokémon because I almost never use them and instead just run Fire-type moves on my Pokémon.
DP also has the Protect glitch, where moves made to have perfect accuracy by weather or ability have a chance to hit through protect proportional to the different between 100 and that move's original accuracy. So, a No Guard Machamp using Dynamic punch has a 50% chance to hit through Protect, which I think is a very cool mechanic. DP also has increased accuracy for Hypnosis, so Hypnosis-Milotic and Gengar are actually viable.
Finally, though an unintentional "feature," voiding is extremely cool (and convenient in some cases), and DP are the only games that you can do that in. There's a weird feeling being in Seabreak path or Hall of Origin in DP, knowing you were technically never supposed to be there.
