I mean this is a shit post but like Nintendo isn’t really the “tip” type of company or microtransactions type of company.
They’re the milking the shit out of their franchises and keeping premium prices on their games type of company.

I don’t know if Sam Bankman-Fried is a huge piece of shit. He was like rich as anything and then lost it all. Now he’s trying to curry favour with Trump to get out of jail.
- Comment on Sometimes, it’s the little tech annoyances that sting the most 1 week ago:
That’s crazy because there’s no way in the modern day that I’d like to demo anything that hasn’t been tested.
- Comment on DoorDash and Klarna partner to offer buy now, pay later for takeout. 1 week ago:
I would say that paying for grocery delivery and cooking it yourself is better. Like, I live in the middle of nowhere, I get it.

I love when Louis CK tried to get his to say he wasn’t a lizard and you can see Rumsfeld’s media training kick in. It was really funny just having Louis try to break it.
- Comment on Young Americans lose trust in the state 2 weeks ago:
Why would young Americans believe in this system? Trump has thwarted any attempt at justice against him through corruption. The Fox News system is a propaganda machine with barriers to their lying.
I was gonna say that at least the government isn’t rounding them up and shooting them like they did at Penn State but it currently isn’t looking a crazy amount better right now honestly…
- Comment on Brother Says It Was Falsely Accused Of Bricking Printers That Use Cheaper Third-Party Ink Cartridges 2 weeks ago:
I absolutely agree and think misinformation is terrible and disinformation is worse. However, I don’t think he should be held to the same standard as a journalist. He just reads news from other people. He should definitely make sure it’s truthful and factual ahead of time. But I do agree, it’s kind of why we’re in a crap state in the world right now.
Although his apology doesn’t make up for it, he does at least make his apology on his main channel. I have seen other YouTubers make their apologies and such on alternate channels. I also don’t think he makes excuses for it either.
- Comment on Brother Says It Was Falsely Accused Of Bricking Printers That Use Cheaper Third-Party Ink Cartridges 2 weeks ago:
He usually apologises when he’s discovered to be wrong. I know he’s quick to accusations and stuff but he does seem level-headed (to me) overall.

Did you see his Piers Morgan interview?
It would have been easy for Gary to be a class traitor and turned his back on us after making his money and telling us to “work harder” or something like that.

Any reason why we can’t just change the tax code to make this thing less viable? We disincentive things all the time. Like we can carve out exemptions for situations and things I’m sure but like, this shouldn’t be how to run a society.

- Comment on Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car 4 weeks ago:
I don’t think this is true.
Yeah, it’s why I added a question mark.
I’ve had one friend say because it’s electronic that only Tesla can fix certain things? Maybe I misunderstood maybe they meant that because it’s under warranty where the dealership should be fixing it.
- Comment on Nobody Wants a Nazi Electric Car 4 weeks ago:
I’ve heard mixed stuff, like some people saying it’s plastic and stuff and only serviceable via Tesla if things go wrong?
Others I know have driven it for years and have been happy except the whole Musk shit which leads to your point.

Jesus didn’t flood the earth right? That was God. His dad who is also him but not but yes. I dunno, I don’t get it.

- Comment on They seem to turn a blind eye to many things as long as you have a (R) next to your name and promise to hurt the right people. Must have missed that bible verse 5 weeks ago:
They called Michelle Obama a man. I don’t know why that pisses me off. Like, there’s nothing wrong with being a transgender man or anything. But like, she’s not. She’s a proud and beautiful woman. The fact that their own base doesn’t turn their backs on them for that tells me enough about them.

It absolutely can happen anywhere and that’s the “The Wave” movie was about.

I think it’s cronyism more but it could be nepotism too.
- Comment on Leo knew it was a joke and laughed because it was just a joke 1 month ago:
Here’s Louis CK’s joke on it: youtu.be/r6x3e8MurQY?t=72
Yes, I know he’s cancelled and all that but I don’t know I still love his comedy. Like … I cut out a lot of comics like Joe Rogan (just kidding, he’s barely a comedian) so I dunno I just remembered this joke.
- Comment on Microsoft Study Finds Relying on AI Kills Your Critical Thinking Skills 1 month ago:
Remember the:
Personal computers were “bicycles for the mind.”
I guess with AI and social media it’s more like melting your mind or something. I can’t find another analogy. Like a baseball bat to your leg for the mind doesn’t roll off the tongue.
I know Primeagen has turned off copilot because he said the “copilot pause” daunting and affects how he codes.

Tech bros never wanted to make the world a better place. They’re the 10% and they want to be the 0.1%. Where THEY get to be the boot on our necks.

The citizens need them against the companies for AI really but it’s always “get used to it” and it’s all capitalism and stuff.

- Comment on What are patient gamers thinking about Marvel Rivals ? Looking for a game to replace League of Legends 2 months ago:
I’m playing it, I really enjoy it and I never played Overwatch. I was and am still a Heroes of the Storm player, which is fun and I like.
I think at the end of the day it’s just fun. 6v6 and you get to mess with your ults. There’s characters that you don’t need good aim for and need to be strategic instead. You can also go ham like Wolverine, Iron Fist and Cap. It’s just fun to dive in and go for it. There’s only three classes: tank, DPs and healer or Vanguard, Strategist and Support. You’ll pick it up quickly and the help menu is just F1 so you can read about the abilities at any point.
If you prefer a third person game that’s more MOBA, there’s Deadlock. It has multiple lanes and minions to push. Marvel Rivals is more like ARAM and people using their ults to do insane cheating-like moves.
