Have you heard of the Streisand Effect?
Before I would have just probably ignored a comment like theirs and just taken whatever you had said at face value.
Now I got curious enough though to have actually looked at your comment history quickly, and while I wouldn’t say you’re at Nazi levels of right wing, you’re definitely getting adjacent to them. Especially what you say in German, which doesn’t help.

The fact you just considered Gaza as part of Israel is telling.
But yes, that’s they’re goal. Or you can hear it from some members of their government themselves (linked articles contain linked sources as well)

And here’s detailed reports on why what is occurring is a genocide attempt:

Bro. I am an American living in Europe. I dont „work for netanyahu“
That’s even sadder. At least if you were paid there might be decent motive for your comments. Instead, it is just out of ignorance, willful or not.
- Comment on ‘Snow White’ Banned in Lebanon Due to Gal Gadot Being on Country’s ‘Israel Boycott List’ 6 days ago:
Literally am anti USA to the point I left long ago, and have avoided US products as much as possible since before it was popular due to Trump.
However, again, the Iraq war has ended, and the USA was literally not sending Americans to permanently live in Iraq while killing every Iraqi possible.
Israel’s intent with Gaza is to wipe out Palestinians in Gaza entirely and make Gaza part of Israel.
And lastly, this whole argument is a strawman because this post was about Gal Gadot. But good try at derailment, troll. It failed this time so I guess you’ll get a pay deduction from Netanyahu. Or at least, I’d hope you weren’t so stupid to be doing this for free.
Either way, you’re a despicable human for trying to excuse genocide in any way, including whataboutism, and part of why humanity cannot advance further as a species. I can only hope you feel shame at yourself, for only through that would you have any redemption.
- Comment on ‘Snow White’ Banned in Lebanon Due to Gal Gadot Being on Country’s ‘Israel Boycott List’ 6 days ago:
I don’t live in the USA, and boycott them too.
Either way, your argument is a strawman, because Israel is still actively committing genocide, and there’s multiple sources of evidence of Netanyahu also funding Hamas. It’s also incredibly unlikely one of the world’s top surveillance tech states, that was able to do a supply chain attack via beepers, was also blind sided by what happened October 7th.
And lastly, USA wasn’t seeking to colonize Iraq or even your disingenuous comparison to WW2 Japan - Israel has been building illegal settlements on the other hand for years.

Perhaps you’ve had a rough childhood, but calm, chill people nether react like you do nor speak like you do.
Especially when it’s about a luxury product like a videogame. I get that you’re mad you can’t afford it - then simple - don’t buy it. I’m not buying it day one either because of the price, I just accept that I understand why they raised the prices.
Like I said, hope you get better.

Must suck to live with that much spite and anger, and but even do anything productive with it even.
Hope you get better.

My point is the prices are down even with the increase.
Nintendo, unlike Xbox and Playstation, is also one of the few where if things go poorly the management takes pay cuts rather than cutting jobs, and takes risks that justify those reserves if things go really poorly (like the Wii U or GameCube).
And just as an example of how much lower the price of video games has come:
If you want to pirate because you can’t afford it go ahead - with how shitty things are in the world, especially the USA, I’m not against it. Heck, if you need a pristine 1st generation Switch (the one that’s super easy to hack without hardware modification) I’d be glad to sell you mine. I use my PC for modded gameplay anyway.
All I’m saying is the cheap game gravy train could only go on for so long, especially with ever increasing development costs. Nintendo has in part managed to keep those costs down because they’ve kept things at 1080p / 30 (or 24)fps for so long.
End of the day, your paycheck not keeping up with inflation is your country’s fault, not Nintendo’s. If you live in the USA, you’re definitely angry at the wrong people, since Japan isn’t the one doing tariffs and eroding your worker laws.

Don’t know, use internet these days, but in ye old days taxes sort of applied to long distance calls in a way so I’m unsure

I believe the tariffs do apply to digital goods as well depending where the server is.
Either way, the main reason would be because of digital was cheaper it would cannibalize physical sales.

Only some games are like that, and the ones that are, are cheaper.
I don’t know how you think Mario Party Jamboree is unfinished tho. It’s felt like the most polished one on years - probably since the first one on the Wii, except it has even more stuff than that.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 Launches on June 5th Worldwide; 1080p Screen With 120 FPS and HDR Support, Docked Mode 4K Resolution Support Confirmed 2 weeks ago:
It’s 70 and 80 tho?
And as an old, even with this price increase games are cheap, especially with how much time you get out of them.
I remember when Mario 3 was 50$ in 1990.
That’s a 120$ today I think.
Mario 3 was way easier to make.

Marketing.
But first you need the idea. I’d say leftwing based religious science compatible apocalyptics is an untapped market. So basically make a bunker commune for societal collapse based on climate change and say all the current right wing politicians are demons accelerating it to bring upon hell on earth, and that oil is the devil’s blood.
Just off the top of my head that’s an idea.

- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 1 month ago:
You’re right, my bad. I should have worded that reply better.
I meant it as a tool to help you code etc it’s useful, especially if you know some coding. It can help you to say finish a game by coding mechanics you don’t quite know how to make work which you can then fix up yourself with the desired parameters etc.
If it helps with finishing your idea of a game (especially if it’s something like the first game you’ve ever made), it’s useful in order to learn some of the workflow involved in making a game.

Reread what I said, calmer this time.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 1 month ago:
That still doesn’t address that the energy use of AI in your statistics includes all AI rather than just image generation.
If we’re including all AI use cases, we’d have to consider all non-AI use cases on the other end too, not just gaming, such as anime production, 3D rendering, etc that also using graphic card cycles.
And still ignoring the very first question.
So, try again.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 1 month ago:
But we’re not comparing the global energy use of LLMs, diffusion engines, other specialized AI (like protein foldings) etc to ONLY the American gaming market.
The conversation was specifically about image generative AI. You can stop moving the goalposts and building a strawman now, and while at it answer the first question too.
- Comment on Indie devs have begun adding a no generative AI stamp to their store pages 1 month ago:
•Ok, I know the researching ability of people has decreased greatly over the years, but using “knowyourmeme” as a source? Really? • You can now run optimized open source diffusion models on an iPhone, and it’s been possible for years. I use that as an example because yes, there’s models that can easily run on an Nvidia 1060 these days. Those models are more than enough to handle incremental changes to an image in-game • Already has for awhile as demonstrated by it being able to run on an iPhone, but yes, it’s probably the best way to get an uncanny valley effect in certain paintings in a horror game, as the alternatives would be:
- spending many hours manually making hundreds of incremental changes to all the paintings yourself (and the will be a limit to how much they warp, and this assumes you have even better art skills)
- hiring someone to do what I just mentioned (assumes you have a decent amount of money) and is still limited of course. • I’ll call an open source model exploitation the day someone can accurately generate an exact work it was trained on not within 1, but at least within 10 generations. I have looked into this myself, unlike seemingly most people on the internet. Last I checked, the closest was a 90 something % similarity image after using an algorithm that modified the prompt over time after thousands of generations. I can find this research paper myself if you want, but there may be newer research out there.
