- Comment on Switch 2 Tutorial Game Welcome Tour Costs $10, Nintendo Explains Why It's Not a Free Console Pack-In - IGN 7 hours ago:
Nintendo is being exclusively run by suits now. The era of a game company built by gamers is over.
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 1 day ago:
The console is manufactured in Vietnam
Which begs the question of why the console is going to be $100 cheaper for Japanese than anyone else even before you factor in the tariff situation.
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 1 day ago:
Keep telling yourself that. It’s not like you’re dealing with a greedy corporation that has spent the last several years wiping out every alternative platform for playing their older games so that you have no other way to play their titles that they keep jacking the price up on simply because they can.
- Comment on 6* months away now. If you're on 10, do you plan to upgrade? Make the jump to Linux? 2 days ago:
I have a small laptop that I’m testing this stuff out on before I put together a new computer from parts I ordered before the tariffs took effect.

I had read that Steam on WINE is pretty stable. Is it not?
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 2 days ago:
That’s the thing. It’s 2025. The Switch came out in 2017 and the Switch 2 is barely a step up from the Switch OLED. Which, BTW, isn’t even and option on the Switch 2. And 256 memory? Is that a joke? Plus their new scheme is to not have the games on the physical cartridge but to only have a key code on the cartridge that transfers to the console. And that’s not even looking and the drastically inflated price of the games. Not just new games but all the old ones are priced out at $80 to $90 a piece as well.
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 2 days ago:
Cartridge games for the Switch 2 aren’t even cartridge games anymore, haven’t you heard? There’s no game on the cartridges just a passkey.
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 2 days ago:
The Switch 2 looks like absolute garbage so they can keep it.
My next console purchase with be a Steam Deck.

- Comment on How to love 3 days ago:
This brings to mind the highly underrated movie Stuart Saves His Family. Surviving toxic people is hard, but it’s even harder for anyone with anxiety disorders.

I could be wrong but I think the pacing referred to in this post is a physical manifestation of impatience.
- Comment on YouTube removes 'gender identity' from hate speech policy 4 days ago:
There really isn’t one. That’s why they feel that they can do whatever they feel like. They have no real competition for the type of service they offer.
- Comment on Mozilla Thunderbird Challenges Gmail With Its Own Email Service 4 days ago:
You have always been able to use your own domain email with Thunderbird. The big news here is the fact that they are launching not only a web based mail service a la Thunderbird but also providing an email server for addresses of [yourchosenname]@thundermail.com. which is gonna be pretty great.
- Comment on Massive X data leak affects over 200 million users. 6 days ago:
It fell into the wrong hands 3 years ago. If those people failed to recognize the danger they put themselves in by continuing to use the platform they are shit out of luck cause Musk will never take responsibility.

If the people to be gained are like you no fucking thank you. Keep your goddamn opinions to yourself.
- Comment on OpenAI's move to allow generating "Ghibly stlye" images isn't just a cute PR stunt. It is an expression of dominance and the will to reject and refuse democratic values. It is a display of power 1 week ago:
I think you missed the part in Tron where the MCP said the human beings were functionally useless as anything but slaves. This wasn’t a “I can run the human world better” this was more of an Ultron deal where it believed that it would either be a better world without humans or a Forbin Project sitch where all of humanity should be micromanaged slaves to its will.

Bigoted against what?? A machine? The money grubbing assholes who are using those machines to profit on other people’s work without giving them a dime in compensation? Who the hell are you defending here?
Studio Ghibli and their artists put in millions of hours collectively to create works if absolute art. Sam Altman just borrowed millions of dollars to rip them off.
- Comment on 'An Insult To Life Itself': Hayao Miyazaki’s AI Criticism Resurfaces As OpenAI’s Ghibli-Style Image Trend Takes Over Social Media 1 week ago:
As a tool, it should be highly useful to artists to help them create things. However, the fact that these algorithms (I don’t care to call them AI because they aren’t) are stealing people’s work and then shitting out mediocre garbage and the people in the creative industry who tend to finance such things start thinking that “these machines can just do what an artist can so why pay for an artist” is the problem.
- Comment on 'An Insult To Life Itself': Hayao Miyazaki’s AI Criticism Resurfaces As OpenAI’s Ghibli-Style Image Trend Takes Over Social Media 1 week ago:
The way Altman whines about how much he should be allowed to steal people’s work to feed his bottom line, I have no doubt whatsoever that this is the case.
- Comment on FL wants more child labor 1 week ago:
The state has been easing up on child labor protections for years. Last year, the legislature passed a law allowing home-schooled 16- and 17-year old teens to work any hour of the day.
Ooof. They are literally targeting the people who are active followers of their capitalistic cult. These people are deranged.

That doesn’t mean that their effect on the GPU market will up and vanish overnight. Market correction doesn’t usually it go down as fast as it goes up.
- Comment on Amazon Boycot March 7-14th | No Purchases. Its time to disrupt the system. 4 weeks ago:
I agree with the principal of personal boycotts, though not effective in doing anything to affect the companies that you are boycotting, are necessary. But OP is right. For instance I have been boycotting Chick-fil-A for the last 10 years because I don’t agree with their homophobic attitude. But it has zero effect on their bottom line because no one else boycotts them or even cares. I think the kesson is that you should not expect any kind of real outcome from your personal boycott of a company. You should just be satisfied that you are not personally supporting that company.

He’ll still retain his shares. Which is the source of his wealth.
For my money I’m going to throw a goddamn party if this cursed stock hits double digits.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 4 weeks ago:
This guy is actual problem isn’t that his property taxes have gone way up. His problem is that his income, that is say social security, has not kept pace with the inflated cost of property taxes. And of course it hasn’t kept up with any of the other inflationary costs we are dealing with today as well. And this is something that has hit everyone else because the average wage has not kept up with inflation either.
- Comment on Owing your home today is nearly impossible, but even if you did the ever increasing property taxes will bury you 4 weeks ago:
Has nothing to do with “uprooting families”. Average American families are not the ones overestimating the values of their property. It’s people like Trump who use overestimated values on their properties in order to hide money and grift people into paying him more than properties are actually worth. And then readjusting to actual values, or lower, in order to dodge taxes.
