- Comment on ROG Xbox Ally runs better on Linux than the Windows it ships with — new test shows up to 32% higher FPS 1 day ago:
My understanding is that window’s passkey support differs from something like what is offered by linux distros in that, instead of storing your passwords in a strongly encrypted, audited, and trustworthy store like 1pw or similar, windows instead stores them in the OS.
Which personally I consider a con, I don’t trust windows to store pictures without fucking it up, why on earth would I give them passkeys?

They’re usually not, in any way, considered the same species. Goofy and Max have a dog, for example.

… Buddy, you do realize that meat-eating is sort of a core concept for most things on earth, right?
About 63% are carnivores, only 32% of species are herbivores. It’s literally just a small subsect of humans that think eating meat is weird or some kind of ‘narrative.’

No idea how well it would actually work, but having www.howtoinventeverything.com as a reference manual would probably not be a terrible idea.

No, we don’t agree. You’re a MAGA trying to blame Joe Biden for the evils of other people, or even the inactions of other people. Biden isn’t a prosecutor, nor is he a judge.
Nice name by the way, rather gives you away.
- Comment on President Trump shows President Zelenskyy and President Macron his 4 More Years hats 2 months ago:
Oh, fuck that shit, no, the reason we’re in this mess to begin with is because rich douchebags won’t get their fucking dicks out of politics because woe is them someone might actually take their ill-begotten gains to benefit everyone, so they propped up a fucking fascist and then bought all the media to make idiots like you blame Biden for it.

Yyyyeah. Unfortunately we’re not actually a democratic nation- land and especially money count for more than actual people when it comes to voting. Gerrymandering just reinforces it, and ensures an undemocratic result.

They sue and go after emulation projects/ROM sites for modern content just as much as Microsoft and Sony do, MS/Sony just get a pass for some reason. Probably because people try to pirate current-gen content less for them, but they do the exact same thing every time it happens. Also, it must be said that several times that emu/ROM sites were shut down and Nintendo was blamed it turned out it wasn’t actually Nintendo. Same thing with that whole streaming copystrike issue- turns out it was some random company taking down gameplay videos, not Nintendo.
-
Sony already does this too, yet again they pretty much universally get a pass for making you permanently lose almost all (if not all) your stuff if you let your sub lapse. Even if you resub, you don’t get it back.
-
In my opinion this is just a bad faith argument. Of course they’re not putting their games on PC, they would cannibalize their own sales. Trying to pretend that you should boycott Nintendo for not actively destroying their own economic model is certainly A Take.
-
Entirely fair. My understanding is that they’re getting better at this, but after the shitshow that was brawl that’s a low fucking bar. I could point out that smash bros isn’t actually Nintendo (it was HAL, then Sora, then Bandai) but like… lets be real here, it’s Sakurai running the show, and Sakurai basically is working for Nintendo even if he isn’t employed there lol.

So what are those reasons, that make you think people should boycott Nintendo and not other companies, then?
Because I suspect most of them are not as legitimate as you might be thinking, and now I’m curious.

There’s also just a substantial number of people that were just astroturfers, I think.
There’s been a LOT of crazy attacks on the switch 2 to try to ‘justify’ a boycott. I think my two favorite was that the gamechat button noise when you hit is actually saying saying a slur, or maybe that the rumble turns off after a while not to protect your hands from the rumble (which has been found to be bad for you), but because Nintendo cheaped out on a rumble motor that overheated too easily.
The switch 2 joycons don’t have a rumble motor. Like, it’s a whole thing they’re super proud of, because it’s so precise they just use the rumble really fast to play music instead of having a speaker.
Honestly, the whole idea of trying to boycott nintendo has pretty much always been over astroturfed bullshit.

Yes, you’re overreacting.
It sounds to me like you’re hoping this is a “good enough” excuse to not have to drive, and unfortunately, you very likely live in an area where that is not an optional skill set.
Look up learned helplessness- and then decide if you want that to be you.
- Comment on "You can't just have Geralt for every single game" says his voice actor, and if you think The Witcher 4 making Ciri the protagonist is "woke," then "read the damn books" 5 months ago:
The difference is that none of those characters had their stories wrapped up.
Geralt’s story was wrapped up in Witcher 3. That was the whole point.
- Comment on If comey can be investigated by the secret service for an Instagram tweet what is stopping elon from taking hold of politicians/reporters accounts and making posts that will get them investigated? 5 months ago:
The point is still that most people, even most journalists or politicians, don’t have those protections. Fact is, a lot of top politicians and journalists don’t have those protections which is literally why we have politicians getting arrested for protesting against the El Salvador prisons and then going after comey.
And leave personal attacks out of it.

Amazingly enough, there are more people in the world than the rich, famous, or powerful. Most people do not have that “wealth of powerful advocates.”
Those people also deserve the rights you’re so callously ignoring.

The point is that you DIDN’T make a choice, because you were colluded against. Why so much focus on honoring your agreement, when they aren’t honoring their agreements?
- Comment on Oof 5 months ago:
You’re missing the part where, because of federal interest in schooling loans (because the government wants a well-educated population, typically), you have a captive market with colluding loan companies that abuse said federal interest to jack up education prices and interest rates. In other words, you don’t have an option but to accept the ‘terms’ of the predatory loans unless you don’t go to college… except the federal government wants you to go to college.
So student loan forgiveness is basically the federal government yanking the collusion back and going “no, they pay off the loan and a REASONABLE AMOUNT OF DEBT, and the rest of the absurdity you’re trying to shovel gets canceled because it should have never been tried in the first place.”
And then conservatives whine and cry about their tax money going to 'paying off student loans" because conservatives are idiots that can’t comprehend why a rich person would lie to them.

- Comment on Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S. 6 months ago:
Series S is $299 here, unless you’re getting used. PS5 digital is hardly apples to oranges, considering the Switch 2 isn’t offering a cartridgeless version.
I also like your arguement about the switch 2 somehow being lesser because it’s going to get scalped, very pointedly ignoring the PS5-shaped scalper elephant in the window. I guess I spoke too soon in the other post- you didn’t manage to delete all examples of cutting Sony and MS a break, you’ve got one right here!
As for the price, sony and microsoft charge $70 for a standard edition game, but also often incomplete and requiring extra money from ‘DLC’ or ‘premium/deluxe’ editions to actually be properly playable/have the baseline plot/lore.

The reason I think it’s astroturfing is because there’s a lot of people who are critical of Nintendo, while simultaneously giving Sony and Microsoft a free pass for doing the exact same thing, or even just making things up outright to bash Nintendo, like your claims that it’s ‘hardware that is long in the tooth at launch.’
- Comment on Nintendo Maintains Nintendo Switch 2 Pricing, Retail Pre-Orders to Begin April 24 in U.S. 6 months ago:
Then what exactly are you expecting? The market for new consoles is currently: Switch 2: $449 Xbox Series S: $299, four years old, less powerful than the switch 2 Xbox Series X: $499, four years old, more expensive, same resolution/fps, more powerful (tflops) than switch 2, 15.7x the size PS5: $499, five years old, more expensive, same resolution, more fps, more powerful than switch 2 but less than series x (tflops), 24x the size
The switch 2 was positioned, and announced, as a portable console capable of similar power levels as one console generation ago, and it overdelivered- the common comparison is that it’s more powerful than a PS4. For a handheld, that is absurdly good, and the price is certainly in line with the rest of the market. The literal only outlier is the Series S, which it’s supposedly more powerful than.
