As Spoony remarked, one of the best ways to start any sort of quest is to have someone rob your party. They'll reliably dive into any scenario in the process of hunting the SOB down and retrieving the loot.

The Mother Trilogy, of course.
The Mother 1+2 GBA collection is the preferred way to play Mother 1, at least until Mother: Encore is finished.

-Metal Gear: Ghost Babel (actually GBC)
IMO, much like Snake's Revenge, it's canon, but all a nightmare Snake had to deal with betrayals and trauma.
-Megaman and Bass (people say the English romhack of the Super Famicom version is better, but either way, it's an often overlooked part of the timeline

I remember when Windows added the UAC popups, and the "I'm a Mac" ads were mocking them for it.
Sudo had been around for a decade at that point.

It's debatable whether Fowler's English or 'English as She is Spoken' is more quotable.

I wonder if airport authorities in Japan arrest you if you declare yourself to be a Mad Scientist. Or roll their eyes like they've never heard that one before.

I'm a bit annoyed by the autosaves shoehorned in to recent versions. If you don't make it to the top of the Cultist Tower, die to Magic Master's final attack, and have to start again at the save point at the bottom, cursing the whole way back up, you're not getting the real experience.

More grit of the comics.
Parents who were expecting the cartoon complained about Raph swearing and the like, so they overcorrected and cranked the silly cartooniness up to 11 with Secret of the Ooze. Incidentally, Ooze is the worst of them. Yes, worse than TMNT3.

Mainly, they pay Mozilla to put Google Search as the default. It's easy to remove.

24 FPS has been the standard for over a century. Kids complaining about only having 60 are spoiled. It's just wrong if the wagon wheels don't move backwards.

Not bringing the Wii-U and 3DS Zelda remasters to Switch, and shutting down the Wii, Wii-U and DS stores, and not allowing transferring purchases are the main reasons Nintendo is completely soulless and dead to me.

DDG and Startpage for search engines.
I've resisted the urge to switch to Librewolf or Waterfox mainly because the crap Google pays Firefox to add is easy to remove or disable.
That might change if the "modern AI browser" nonsense goes forward.
