Where did I say $90?
- Comment on Nintendo delays Switch 2 preorders over tariff concerns 1 week ago:
I delayed my preorder when I saw the bullshit price gouging for game prices.
- Comment on Nintendo is Bringing Us Kicking and Screaming Into the $80 Game Era with the Switch 2 1 week ago:
Same boat. I love my switch. Their direct said all the right things. New Mario kart looks great. I have faith meteoid and that new dk game will be fun. But the pricing makes it a no go. There’s just no way I’m going to pony up that much for one game.
- Comment on Thoughts on Mario Kart World 1 week ago:
I think it looked great. More variety, bigger races, a world to play around in, etc those are all winning ideas from where I’m sitting. Adding something like wall jumps fits in the Mario universe and could add some interesting skips on courses and things. I was very excited after that trailer.
Of course now that pricing has been revealed, all of that excitement has been sucked out of the room for me. I’ve got a Steam Deck in the mail right now and that’s probably going to be it for me this next gen. Metroid 4 could be my last purchase for the OG Switch.

I do kind of wish it had a full keyboard like the old kindle did. Tons of great IF text adventures that would almost seamlessly transfer to this format.

All new releases?
This is an ad from Best Buy in 2000. You can see in the next to last picture, Diablo 2 and Microsoft Flight Sim 2000. Both releasing at $49.99.

Jebus Christ this is not what people want. Not every app needs to look the same and have the same IQ decimating, attention span killing features.
- Comment on Apple, Google, and Samsung will accept Matter certification for their own Works With programs 3 months ago:
There is only one cert that matters to me, is it open enough to run locally with Home Assistant? If you make a product that can’t be broken by your company going out of business, I’ll give you money. If you try and tie it down to your own proprietary app, I’m out.

Did you meet a mysterious person calling themselves “the doctor” soon after this was painted?
- Comment on just three women have died and 50783 babies have been saved by Texas' abortion law. A damn good trade if you ask me. 4 months ago:
Let me rephrase my previous post so I don’t offend the person calling the preventable deaths of the women “a good trade”.
You are being ignorant if you believe an abortion ban actually prevents all abortions from happening.
You are being ignorant if you think putting doctors in jail for trying to save their patients lives is a sustainable practice. Every time abortion laws regress, medical professionals leave the state and mortality rates increase.
You are being callous to people who maybe you consider to be strangers or worthless people because they sought to have an abortion. But I think you would be singing a different tune if it was your partner, your sister, your mother, who had a miscarriage while the doctors stood by and said, “here take this pill and pray god saves you, because I’m not legally allowed to help you anymore.”

You literally posted a link to a story about a woman who was hoping to see her pregnancy through to the end. This woman didn’t want an abortion but I guarantee you she wanted to live. And here you are celebrating her death. That’s disgusting.
I bet you and I agree on a lot of things and about wanting to see less abortions. I think the answer is pretty easy. Better access to sex education. More access to contraceptives and family planning. And laws that don’t punish doctors for saving the lives of their patients.

Truly disgusting that you think any women doing is acceptable, let alone a “damn good trade”.

I just finished watching the documentary this afternoon. I already own the game since it released but this is all a great excuse to okay through it again.

Yes, I bought all of the Unreal games. However a lot of people got them bundled with new graphics cards also.
