If the Switch didn’t exist then I don’t think we would’ve gotten the Steam Deck.
or we would have earlier and more of it? I’m not sure how are you basing your hipothesis is but to assume that handheld market with this crazy demand would just be there unfulfilled is kinda silly.

Its unfair to call it a “console war” when one is a classic locked down console and another is a general handheld computer. This also means there are bigger societal stakes in this argument than jusy “which corporate flavor you like more” because empowers people and the other does the exact opposite.
So no, “console wars” here are very much cool.
- Comment on Why do I drag my feet when it's time to start a new task even if I know I'll enjoy it once I get started? 5 days ago:
Because task starting is legit hard and I don’t think it needs some mystical explanation. The way to adress this is to break it town to small tasks and start at it. When I start my remote software engineers work day I start with a checklist to what I want to do - thats already first tiny task that sets me into work mood. Then make the first points easy loke “check email x”, “check website Y” etc.
It’s important to be descriptive with your tasks and just don’t write “check all emails” because those are demotivating and tiring just looking at it. Use multiple points of “check customer X emails”, “check email replies”.
Ive been working remotely for over 20 years so I’m very familiar with this issue and this tip is the best one I can give!
- Comment on Switch 2 Teardown: Still Glued, Still Soldered, Still Drifting 6 days ago:
As someone who has 6 controllers with a stick drift and games maybe 6 hours a day I’m never ever buying a device that is succeptible to this issue. My 3bitdo ultimate 2 is holding so well now and its like 40$ - crazy that a new 450++ usd device can’t do that.
- Comment on Is it normal that I have this inner conflict of not knowing where I belong? 6 days ago:
Yes and you should embrace this. Being cosmopolitan is truly freeing!
We live in a world where you can be anywhere you want within a day and not only that but be freely adopted to new cultures. Go to Mexico, Chile, Thailand, Japan - you can really live almost everywhere these days and be somewhat accepted as you are and partake in any societal activities. Contemporary people are really accepting despite what bait social media tries to portray.
There are also a lot of cosmopolitan peoples today and you’ll find them in every country be it expats or people who simply have a mindset of belonging to the entire world rather than their national identity. It’s a rapidly growing culture so try it out!

Because autocracy cannot sustain conflict of ideas. It was just a matter of time as every political scientist said 6 months ago.

Never use a case but always use a screen protector as replacing the screen often costs almost as much as a new phone.

You can’t.
Though you can try role play difficulty limitations yourself. Also, that was number one complaint in the remaster survey so its very likely to receive a patch soon.
- Comment on How does AI-based search engines know legit sources from BS ones ? 1 week ago:
Real answer: there are many existing tools and databases for domain authority.
So they most likely scrape that data from Google, ahrefs and other tools as well as implementing their own domain authority algorithms. Its really not that difficult given sufficient resources.

- Comment on Do you think a story that mixes magic with super advanced technology can work? 2 weeks ago:
As in entertainment - yes. But when it comes to realistic representation and imagination as sci-fi then no.
it’s really difficult as all magic that we understand is just science. To create this artificial gap the world has to answer - why can’t science understand, reverse engineer and bend magic?
Most scientific progression is very rapid. If fireballs exist then there will be a giant 1,000 rpm fireball machine by the end of the week and that’s no longer magic ad we see it.
So there has to be a strong artificial limitation why magic exists and cannot be understood and harvested which is really hard to write in scifi. You have to introduce religion, spiritual mysticism or some sort of societal control mechanism that prevents reverse engineering magic which is really hard to do in a way that satisfies the readers cognitive dissonance.
Personally I have found stories like that like Warhammer 40k, Star Wars etc. But without a big, establishrd name it’s so hard to convince the reader. I recently finished the wheel of time and really couldn’t get over this which ruined the entire presume of the show for me.

- Comment on Raised by extra strict hispanic catholic parents 2 weeks ago:
Because it takes a special psychological state for people to contribute to these actions. Sexual repression highly contributes to creating such mental states.

But point #1 and #2 are the same.
- Comment on Raised by extra strict hispanic catholic parents 2 weeks ago:
Its definitely true and there’s a lot of correlation between sexual assault/misconduct and repression though doing science here is obviously really hard so all I can share is some personal anecdotes.
I see a lot of sex tourists here in Thailand (and Vietnam where I lived previously) from repressed countries like middle east region and India and its scary how badly these people are behaving to the point where they are banned from many sex avenues. I had a fried who basically was a Islam virgin and a complete sexual retard and obviously very promiscuous when detached from that until he managed to grow up in a year or two.
Religious sexual repression is scary. My pet theory is that middle east problems would be solved if every dude was just handed a pocket pussy when they turn 16 lol
