Wow, just wow. Are your arms sore from all of that reaching?

How is Guardians 3 a conservative Christian movie? You know the director, James Gunn, is very outspokenly progressive, right?

Where did I say it made me angry that others like Nintendo? I’ve literally owned every single Nintendo console and have the Smash edition Switch. I’m saying their games are boring and very low effort a lot of the times these days. Zelda is the exception. What other critically and commercial successful first party titles do they have, besides Zelda and Mario? The last few Pokemon games have been the definition of low effort and have bombed critically. Smash was fun but the online was so bad it would have been better off just not even having it. I’m saying Nintendo is a shadow of their former glory and wish they would get their shit together and stop making games exclusively for little kids. They weren’t always the children’s game developer. I adored the NES/SNES/N64/GameCube. They just are kind of a parody of themselves at this point.

The Zelda games have been pretty critically successful with the last two entries. What other first party Nintendo games in the last 5 years have been commercially and critically successful?

FTC leaks show that Xbox is third in what? Sales? Because the Switch isn’t even the same generation as the Series X - it’s way behind in terms of power. Even if we’re just talking console sales, the Xbox hasn’t been constrained by hardware in almost a decade. The Xbox environment and Game Pass have completely revolutionized gaming for myself and millions others. Sure, I have a Series X and PS5, but I haven’t even turned either on in 6 months. I game on PC, but usually through Xbox Live because they’re at the forefront of crossplay (pretty much invented it) and I can play with friends in discord, Xbox One, Series X, Steam, whatever with no problem.
The NES, SNES, N64, and GameCube all powerhouses that directly competed with or were even more powerful than their competitors. They only started neutering themselves with the Wii. Online gameplay on GameCube was great. The Wii was the start of them no longer focusing on power. The WiiU was just a mistake, and the Switch was obsolete before it even released.
Nintendo makes gang busters because they focus on catering to young children. The last Pokemon games were some of the most financially successful games of all-time IIRC, but they’re also awful glitchy cash grabs that pretty much everyone hated. Smash and Mario Kart keep the adults coming back, but there’s several alternatives to both these days. I don’t know any serious gamers that even consider Nintendo to be a serious option these days.
I’ve got a Switch. Bought it for Smash. After the glitchy online nightmare that was Smash Online, I haven’t touched it since. It’s been sitting on a shelf collecting dust until my toddler daughter is old enough to play it. Nintendo is a joke of a company these days and a shadow of their former glory. Don’t even get me started on how litigation-happy they are anymore.
It’s 2023: why don’t we have a Skyrim style Pokemon game, or even a fully 3D Pokemon game, for that matter? Nintendo knows their fanboys will gladly accept any dogshit they shovel their way, and then ask for seconds.

Yeah, Bethesda is crashing and burning so hard right now.
It’s 2023 and Nintendo is still churning out the same minimum effort bullshit Pokemon and Mario games, and they still haven’t figured out online multiplayer. The max resolution of the Switch is 1080p 30 FPS. Nintendo is a joke and a shell of it’s former self.
Not saying Microsoft should buy them, but someone (not Sony) needs to get in there and bring that company kicking and screaming into the 21st century.

I’ll have to try some other ports out! I’m still pretty early in the game, just thought I had missed something somewhere lol. I’ll add glad hab back onto my ship!
- Comment on Anyone Else Having a Blast? 9 months ago:
Awesome! I was wondering what I was missing. So you buy your different stations and whatnot at vendors, and that’s not in the build screen, right? I assume there’s some kind of fabricator that I can also buy and add to my ship, but they don’t really do a great job of explaining any of that haha.

Question to those who may know: I swapped my crew habitat for one of the 3x1 habitats last night, and noticed afterwards that the new habitat did not have a research station. I tried switching it to the engineering version of the hab, but no luck. Anyone know how I can get it back?

These guys are fine, but a lot of their fans are the worst. They can’t make their own judgement of a movie. I know several people that will go see a movie with me, then say they can’t talk about it and don’t know how they felt about it. Then, when RLM releases their review, they suddenly have all of the exact same opinions and talking points. Looking at you, Brian, in case you wondered why I don’t go to movies with you or talk to you about them anymore.

Eh that threw me off when it was new but it’s been a thing for about a decade at this point. My work is all-in on Azure and this has never confused any users as far as I’ve seen, and we’ve got some incredibly ignorant users. Everyone just hits “browse” from that screen and you’re back to the old school save screen.

Can never be too safe. You know what, just go ahead and triple frame that.

Right? Seems like Linux fanboy propaganda. If you don’t know where your file saves to, you’re probably incompetent and shouldn’t be near a computer. Even the most incompetent of users in my 15 year IT career know how to save something and where it’s saving to.

Have you ever checked out Ark? Not quite a true MMO, but it’s the closest I’ve ever gotten to feeling that “brand new to EverQuest” feeling. The worlds are massive, full of a massive amount of different dinosaurs, and the base-building is robust. Highly, highly recommend.
