It’s possible it’s not an excuse. I’m in software eng. Doodles and on the fly flow charts are made all the time. It’s much easier to follow a complex topic if you have something to point to. Especially when trying to tie together concepts, like interplay between services, timing, DB, APIs, etc.

… Changing outfits in BL has often, for a long time, in most costumes, just been color changes. Not real customizing.

Yeah, not just being diffent colors of the same hero was a really nice change.

That’s a fair call on Tiny Tina, but with it and the movie kinda tarnishing the name it seems like a bit of an uphill battle.
3 did well, but the game before and after it didn’t. Add in people having less money to throw at this stuff and it being “a real fans” price, possible exclusive deals, etc. I just think it’s putting up it’s own road blocks constantly. The franchise isn’t hot and it’s fresh off the Borderlands movie joke.
IMO They should fire this wide and fast, keep the price low and sell it everywhere, earn back that trust and good will. Make people fall in love with BL again.

They are objectively less popular with the newer stuff.

I think their active work against unions is the big one for me.
2022 NLRB complaints accuse Nintendo of America (and staffing partner Aston Carter) of firing testers after union questions, coercing workers, and treating long-term contractors as second-class citizens. Multiple former employees confirmed low pay, isolation from benefits, and retaliation fears.
- Comment on AI boomer trait 4 weeks ago:
I work in tech and I don’t like what AI is turning into or how it’s being used. But saying it’s only getting worse is just wrong. Many hurdles in generation, comprehension have been overcome. Context windows are growing in orders of magnitude. Cycles with different logical approaches can be applied to the same prompt. I mean just topically you can look at the quality of deep fakes over the last 3 years.
We can hate it, but let’s not let that blind us to reality.

So you’re just a preteen yelling memes, you are capable of an actual conversation huh.
Bye kiddo

I mean, are we at the point where facts just don’t matter? Are you saying there isn’t protein in a burger?

I think we view skills differently. I don’t see it as having to labor in my own time, I look at it as investing in my future so I can have a more comfortable life.

As bad as it is for you a Big Mac does have nutrition. There are things like protein and calcium in there.

Having been in the Marines you get oddly used to the “No Marines allowed” signs outside of base. It gets to the point where Marines would use clip on jewelry to try to fool places into letting them in.
- Comment on The McRecession - Has Fast Food Cooked Itself? 1 month ago:
But I mean it’s a question of how you define food at that point. How would you define food?
- Comment on Adobe turns subscription screw again, telling users to pay up or downgrade 1 month ago:
- To be good at your job and do well. Especially in tech where things can evolve quickly. Or just learn your job once and get left behind.
- I like growing my skill because I like that I do and being better at it I can demand more money. I do this outside of my employer because I want to grow.
- To be better at what you do, learn ways to avoid struggles you run into to make your life easier, be able to demand more money by knowing skills or tools others don’t. I mean a ton of reasons.
My commenting and posting workflow aren’t things that can help me buy a house. Knowing emerging technologies that command a higher salary can. I literally learned the skills of my career on my own, online. I read books, I learned how to use tools, I grew. Now I make more money because of that. I wasn’t sitting around waiting for for employer to pay for and make me get better at something. I don’t get how this is such a hard thing to comprehend.

I don’t think that rolls off the tongue as well as fast food. Maybe it’s the alliteration.
- Comment on Southport attack survivor calls for kitchen knives to be blunt tipped 1 month ago:
I can are we forgetting about the rest of the blade? This is like putting foam on your bumper in case you hit someone. It’s performative and does nothing in reality. Like you said, if they want to kill someone a blunt tip won’t stop them, they literally have the rest of the knife.

What should we call it “fast consumables”?
- Comment on Adobe turns subscription screw again, telling users to pay up or downgrade 1 month ago:
I think there are some reasonable SaaS models out there, but end user tools shouldn’t be one.

Either way, you should know and explore the tools of your trade.

- Comment on Nintendo of America might turn your Switch into an expensive paperweight if you mod your console or install any "unauthorized" games, new policy warns 1 month ago:
You seem to be doing everything to ignore the fact that they now have the right and ability to do it. Which is all that was being said and you disagreed with.
I don’t care about what usually happens. We usually don’t pay for the tutorial to a new system either, but here we are. Things change.
Let me tell you, you’re off in lala land with your interpretation
Ok, what part am I misunderstanding about being able to disable the hardware in part or whole? How does disabling the device in whole not allow them to brick it?
- Comment on Nintendo of America might turn your Switch into an expensive paperweight if you mod your console or install any "unauthorized" games, new policy warns 2 months ago:
What part of wholey disable the device isn’t clicking. They can wipe the firmware. Also bricking is used in a lot of ways, but even this they can do.
This isn’t banning from online service… Did you even read what I quoted about hardware?
- Comment on Nintendo of America might turn your Switch into an expensive paperweight if you mod your console or install any "unauthorized" games, new policy warns 2 months ago:
Yes. They can now brick your physical device. It is something they can now do. Brick the entire thing. That was the point of this post, and you said “no it’s just online service stuff.” My whole point was saying that’s not true. They can now brick your Nintendo Switch if you mod it. It’s not a thing the CAN do. I’m glad we finally agree.
- Comment on Nintendo of America might turn your Switch into an expensive paperweight if you mod your console or install any "unauthorized" games, new policy warns 2 months ago:
What? It’s not a what if. It says they have the right to, in whole, disable the device itself. What part of that do we not know for sure. It’s literally written out…
- Comment on Nintendo of America might turn your Switch into an expensive paperweight if you mod your console or install any "unauthorized" games, new policy warns 2 months ago:
That seems like exactly what they are saying with “and/or the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable in whole or in part.” Them saying in part makes sense with the service. I’m whole makes it very clear. How would you wholey disable a device by not having Nintendo account service?
- Comment on Nintendo of America might turn your Switch into an expensive paperweight if you mod your console or install any "unauthorized" games, new policy warns 2 months ago:
It has to do with their online services; not the switch itself.
Just wrong
Literally from the terms:
“You acknowledge that if you fail to comply with the foregoing restrictions Nintendo may render the Nintendo Account Services and/or the applicable Nintendo device permanently unusable in whole or in part.”

So Nintendo just rapid firing bad PR now or what?
- Comment on Palworld confirms ‘disappointing’ game changes forced by Pokémon lawsuit 2 months ago:
Yeah, Nintendo seems to think they are untouchable. They can do whatever, charge whatever, not even innovate anymore with the Switch 2, and attack fans. I’m done with Nintendo, the only way I’ll ever play any of their games is on the high seas.
