  I think Cullum (cull) would fit too

  After rereading your comment, I see it. My bad.

  Back when the world is simpler (because I was young and ignorant mostly) Moscow shocked me too. Had to study there for a few years and despite their gruff outward look they are some of the friendliest I’ve met at that time.

  Only exception is riding the metro/tram during rush hour. Those babushkas aren’t playing around and will tackle you down

  I doubt this is because of the recent tariffs. Nintendo is a cold calculating bastard of an old corpo they must have planned this for years.

  So my assumption this isn’t caused by that but just pure greed.

  No doubt they’ll jack up the price more because of orange fuckhead pissing to the wind

  I wish the steam deck is smaller NGL.

  Or even offered officially to purchase in my country.

  I got flack in a group chat for being highly cynical that the games industry, at least the “AAA” publishers, will adopt the new pricing standard.

  Nintendo is doing it. They can use a flimsy excuse that they are using a stupid proprietary cart. Gamefreak was already doing it to save cost on higher storage carts. Even then they ship unoptimized shit and people lap it up like swines

  GTA 6 will definitely be $100 and have no flimsy excuse

  Ubitencent will get to it eventually I reckon after they finish fucking each other

  No, not all. It’s a an option. Basically yubikey DRM

  Like even the game carts have a few choices for storage. For example, Pokemon pearl and diamond remake were notorious to go with the smaller storage carts where half the game is only downloadable

  Possible. It’s been years since I watched the show on YouTube.

  _H_erbs, because there’s a frikking h in it.

  Thanks Eddie Izzard for her skit, that still stuck with me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Other than a faulty charging port, is there any reason to use a wireless phone charger over wired?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It is a hassle, even if very very slight. One you need to plug in something small. The other you just drop a big thing onto a slightly smaller big thing.

  Arthritis, poor eyesight, poor lighting, temporary/permanent hand disability are some that I can think of that greatly benefits wireless charging and found plugging in a cable a hassle.

  I’d never trust built in ones. They are almost surely the cheapest possible to implement just to tick a checkbox for marketing

  monyet.cc instance is made by Malaysians. Funnily enough it’s hosted in Singapore.
