I had a book as a small child about various weird plants. Pitcher plants, water lilies, stuff like that. I remember reading about a plant with no chlorophyll called the ghost plant or something and thinking it was the coolest thing ever, but I could never find that book again. This was also before I knew how to use the internet so I had no way of looking up the plant, thanks for reminding me of it!
Ah, well that would do it then haha. I guess I just assumed you were on linux based on the community. It also runs silky smooth for me on my windows partition, so at least I'm not totally high and dry here!
You aren't wrong, they're definitely significantly more clunky, but they also absolutely have their own charm to them. If you're a fan of "older" game design they might really appeal to you. There's a much greater focus on the out-of-hunt preparation phase, and while the lack of many QOL features might be frustrating to some players, to others it adds to the personality of the games. They're definitely games worth trying if you're interested in retro gaming, or in Monster Hunter history, and they're all easily emulatable.
That being said though, most players should probably just stick to the newer games, it truly cannot be overstated how much of a leap World was for the franchise. The amount of quality of life features and gameplay improvements is staggering, and going backwards from that can be a bit jarring.
Monster Hunter. There's tons of recurring stuff between games due to the nature of the series, but other than being able to go "hey, I recognize that from this other game!" there's no reason to play the games in any particular order. I'd normally recommend World or Rise to new players, but with Wilds coming out in a month I'd say that's the best option if you have the hardware for it. Wilds is a thematic sequel to World though, so starting with World before Wilds is something you might consider, though it's not really necessary.

picture 1: Three tampon packages. Each one is labelled with a different motivational quote.They read "Live fearlessly!", "Walk like a champion.", and "Be unstoppable."
picture 2: a screenshot of an imessage conversation. The first message, blue, reads "Live fearlessly". The second message, grey, reads "I swear to god, go fuck yourself"]
Probably Monster Hunter World's Fatalis. That's the only fight I've ever had to genuinely grind for multiple days to beat. It was 100% worth it though, the feeling of bringing him down for the first time was unmatched.

Absolutely, if you make your own. I've actually seen them in a restaurant once too, they were pretty damn good! Not nearly as bad as the other commenters are thinking. More the texture of a fry than a soggy chip.
Grant Sanderson is my personal hero! I've always had a deep love for maths, thanks to an absolutely stellar math teacher in school, and it's always saddened me how negatively most people look at the subject! I fully believe Grant's amazing style of teaching is capable of changing that for people and bringing the beauty of math to the wider world.
For real. I've seen the fingerprinting info, I know your website can see what language I've set, so display your website in that language!
