- Comment on Dev says Switch 2’s physical Game Cards were too slow for Star Wars Outlaws port 1 week ago:
One positive though- I heard even the game carts that are just “access keys” are resell-able, though I haven’t tried it.
- Comment on Dev says Switch 2’s physical Game Cards were too slow for Star Wars Outlaws port 1 week ago:
That’s too bad, the whole point of buying physical is to a. Not need internet, b. Not have access revoked, c. Not fill internal storage. Dev’s feeling the need to move away from it for any reason is bad for consumers in the long run :(

When you’re comparing two words and you write out one of them and you censor the other one… the censored one is worse.

Wait till I tell you about the handful of companies that own EVERYTHING else you buy.

Oh Christ, that’s ridiculous.

The game looks super cool- why wouldn’t they list it? Is horror off limits now too?
- Comment on Resources 1 month ago:
Why can’t we just have fewer people too? Instead of finding ways to support 50 billion people, how about we have good birth control facilities, education, and economies not based on constant never ending growth? The reality is unending growth WILL end whether people like it or not- wouldn’t it be better to do it on our own terms rather than in a global catastrophe?

The trailer for the new borderlands looked like the most soulless, boring cash grab. Anyone put much time into it yet?

Totally fair points! Password managers FTW, all my passwords are 25 character complete random.

Digit being the key here- alphanumeric with mixed case and symbols takes a dozen cards over 160 years.

- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 5 months ago:
I really doubt switch 2 games will emulate at all or well for quite some time.
I get the money argument. In that case, get the one that does more for you now now, and save up for the other one later. You don’t need them all at once.
I waited a year before getting the first switch, and almost 2 years for a ps4. I think I waited at least a year for all the other PlayStations too save the 5.
Getting something at launch isn’t all that great- bugs, limited games, max prices, etc… a year or so later and you get bundles and deals and lots of game choices.
I don’t have a deck- but a few of my friends do and I’ve played with it a bit- it’s great and I want one at some point, but I can wait for #2 to come out and then go on sale before I dive in.
- Comment on Are PC handhelds like Steam Deck really competitors for Switch 2? 5 months ago:
I really truly don’t think so. While there is some overlap, I would never give my 5 yo a steam deck and tell them to just figure it out. And on a steam deck, I’d be really sad to not have any Mario kart, Zelda, etc…
I don’t see the problem with having both- they fill different niches.

- Comment on Are Nintendo's $80 online game prices a result of tariffs or is Nintendo just using them as an excuse to price gouge as corporations do? 5 months ago:
My understanding is that only some games are a “key in a cartridge” and they are able to be resold second hand.
- Comment on What if Apple / other brands sold desktop chips? 5 months ago:
Yeah, from apple’s perspective it cheapens their brand and makes them just another commodity parts supplier. Plus, used outside of their ecosystem, the cups might not shine the way they do on their managed platform which could tarnish the image too. Plus, it kills some of the competitive edge they have on hardware if anyone could slap something together with the same chips.
I suspect keeping their chips and tech to themselves is vital to their strategy.
- Comment on What if Apple / other brands sold desktop chips? 5 months ago:
You mean as stand alone parts for purchase?
Because Apple does have m series chips in desktop configurations already- the Mac Studio and iMac.

I feel like all this visual upgrading kinda missed the point of Minecraft. It’s like colorizing black and white movies.

My thermostat has a hot and cold setting that will heat when cold and cool when hot- I can also set it to a mode based on outside temp or time of day. You might just need a smarter thermostat.
