Assuming this guy is still alive at this point.

He is the byproduct of our system. He is not the source, he is merely the most unflattering look in the mirror of our own society.

Unfortunately I don’t think it’ll work here. For republicans and most supporters: cruelty is the point. They want to see their enemies lose. They revel in “liberal tears” and lust for the downfall of their adversaries. They’re sick in an emotional way. Elon is on record saying empathy is a weakness.

They’re all sociopaths. They only care about money and power for them, anything that prohibits that is an enemy.

That’s a bit unnecessary. I’m just pointing out people are trying to compare two things that aren’t the same.

By that logic though, I think Nintendo has a “dumb cock” for charging as much as they are for Switch 2, so I’m not really sure what it tastes like.

I see a lot of people ragging on the switch and comparing it to the Steam Deck. I own both but

I’m gonna say this: they’re not even direct competitors. They don’t offer the same experiences at all.

The beauty of the Switch is the ease of use, modularity of control, and communal nature of it. Even if switch online sucks, playing with other switches or 8 people in the same room with certain games is unbelievably easy. The plug and play usability and every single game you can buy from the internal store just works.

Not to mention the dock is flawless and literally easy to use. For all its problems, the switch is a surprisingly well executed idea. There’s a reason they sold hundreds of millions of them.

Steam is catching up, but there’s still a ways to go between proton compatible games, connecting controllers, plugging into a dock without having to bend down and plug a cable etc. The Switch is simply put: easy.

That said, Nintendo is stupid for pricing the Switch 2 out of the “no brainer” casual gamer territory.

While you’re not literally wrong adjusting for inflation, their “value proposition” is a bit out the window. It’s so close in price to comparable tech, it seems like a much more serious purchase. Nintendo hit it right with the Wii and the Switch by pricing competitively low. The Switch 2 should follow the same value quotient to be a runaway success. This is effectively what killed the Wii U. The Switch 2 could be destined to follow the same fate.

Even the mental trickery of “$399” would be more effective than “$449” for Nintendo in the long run. They have to question whether that $50 is worth losing marketshare. I think if they are keeping the game prices and (potentially) the cost of services like online higher than the entry point of buying the system should be lower.

That pricing is really putting Nintendo out of its core market. The reason the Switch was an absolute smash is because it was and remained accessibly priced. The fact they’re charging $450 is really putting them out of the “hey that’s not too bad” audience. This is a wildly bad move on their part.

It feels like democrats are trying to join republicans more and more cause they keep “winning.” The reality is that Republicans aren’t simply winning, but they are getting away with abandoning their constituents. Democrats who are in it for nothing but power are seeing this and starting to simply join the side in power. Newsom is no different and I won’t be surprised when he finally swaps colors.

I know our elections are bought and sold but this feels a little…. On the nose.

It was for white middle class Americans. That’s why they’re so angry now, they can’t guarantee their hierarchical standing so they need to try and pull every other denomination down.

So with just a little bit of research: You’re right. However, 3 of Fords most popular models are in fact produced in Canada. This begs the question though: do these tariffs apply to production or simply “company country of origin?”

What’s ironic is that more foreign owned brands have production plants in the US than US brands at this point. Nissan Toyota and Honda all have US plants. GM Ford and Chrysler all have plants primarily in Canada and Mexico.

Forums are where I learned literally everything about technology I know now. Every hack, jailbreak, method of bypassing something, building, literally anything I’ve done around my tech hobbies. Pi hole, emulation in the late 90s, how to use Photoshop, how to run Linux from a USB, everything I’ve learned from forums. I’m sad to think that me joining certain discords help deliver the death knell to the concept of forums.

How do you skip sign in? That’s the single worst feature in windows.

Crypto. I didn’t spent a ton, but I didn’t make a ton either. I’m net up now but it’s so stupid.

I made 2K on Doge a few years ago, but ever since I’m just sitting on it. It’s not a loss unless you sell.

I love that this is possible. I wonder if something is possible for Project 06. I’ve heard it fixes a lot of the game and makes it playable. Dunno if they can help with the story though.

I feel like that’s the point of using that picture though.
