For me I say that a truck with a cab longer than its bed is not a truck, but an SUV with an overgrown bumper.

the fact that you didn't even take a position and are still being both updooted and jeered in the comments is everything there is to say about this issue. well done.

It's "different from".

"Similar to"; "different from"; "less/greater than". "Different than" doesn't make sense.

A lot of video games released today are not bad because they're bad. They're overhyped and underdelivered.

I played Mighty Number 9 from start to finish and had fun, aside from some cheap spike traps.

And you know what else has cheap spike traps? Pretty much every Megaman X game after X1. Most of Megaman Zero (screen crunch), Definitely Megaman ZX. Megaman and Bass is probably even cheaper than Mighty Number 9.

Poorly advertised? Definitely
Underdelivered? Graphics are cheap and switch port was bad
Bad game? If you like megaman style games it's fine

People need to be more patient and stop eating up hype engines. They're just setting themselves up for disappointment, and blaming salespeople whose literal job has always been to just sell the damn product.

The ability to spell well has nothing, or very little, to do with intelligence.

Petty hill? If you put ads on your game after every level, I will uninstall it.

Also, the phrase 'you people' is the worst combination of words in any language ever and should never be used in any way. I will dislike you instantly and judge you harshly from then on.

Also also, pineapple on pizza is fine, but its not canadian bacon, its ham! Call it what it is!

"Quilted" toilet paper is just scam to get you to buy less toilet paper for the same money.
It's not stronger.
It's not softer.
It weighs half as much as regular toilet paper and lasts half as long for the same price.
You are paying for air.

Pizza, at least the US-ified version, starts off as crust, sauce, and cheese. Toppings are added to the pizza for extra deliciousness. That being said, there is no such thing as a "Cheese" pizza. It should be properly called a "plain" pizza as it lacks any real toppings.

Charizard is a Salamander, not a dragon.

Salamanders don't have wings...
