Just imagine you having to fix a thousand pages of this. I feel your pain.
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 4 days ago:
You’ve still got a British passport? Consider staying out of trouble, I.e. the US.
- Comment on As a US citizen who was born in the UK, how risky is it to leave and reenter the US right now? 4 days ago:
But less often.
- Comment on Why do European Leftist call their government's right wing despite having free healthcare? 5 days ago:
We have one odd leftist party in Germany that is basically Putins press office. Maybe they meant those.
- Comment on Should we boycott games with loot boxes? 1 week ago:
No, we should see that they are made illegal.
- Comment on How wil people react if Trump is right about Tariffs? 1 week ago:
And the last time they have been used by the US in 1930, they ruined the economy.
- Comment on From a purely political perspective, if you oppose the US tariffs as a US resident, should you buy or avoid buying products subject to tariffs? 1 week ago:
For Americans, it is nearly impossible to escape the tariffs. Either somethig is imported directly, or key ingredients to it are imported. This will be a blood bath.
- Comment on Howard Lutnick says he hopes Trump’s tariffs will eliminate China’s ‘army of millions and millions of human beings screwing in little, little screws 1 week ago:
And replace them by whom? And where does he plan to get those screws from in the first place? They are made in China, after all.
- 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? 1 week ago:
The prices are still calculated pre-tariffs, thats why they stopped preorders because the price will go up most likely.
I think asking for high prices for both the console and the games is a big mistake.
- Comment on Are there any games you don't play as it was intended to be played? If so, what game and how? 1 week ago:
For some time I used Minecraft as a mindnumbing tool. I dug a huge underground structure with stone pickaxes. I had some chests of wood down there to make new pickaxes, chests, and torches, and dug an underground space of several square kilometers, 30ish layers high.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on reveals a proper generational upgrade, though its biggest new idea remains unproven 1 week ago:
That might be true. For party games or Animal Crossing, the Switch is still the top choice. For the non-casual gamer, though, it is way to limited.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on reveals a proper generational upgrade, though its biggest new idea remains unproven 1 week ago:
We will see. The big advantage of the SD is the ginormus library of games that already exist, the advantage of the S2 is that they have the Nintendo exclusive titles that have a good and solid fan base. With the S1, it was a no-brainer, the other consoles were limited in their game selection with a small hand of exclusives, and they were more expensive than the S1. The S2 is not far from the SD in terms of price. So this time, there actually is competition.
- Comment on Nintendo Switch 2 hands-on reveals a proper generational upgrade, though its biggest new idea remains unproven 1 week ago:
The key problem for the Switch 2 will be to compete with the Steam Deck. While a good Steam Deck is still a bit pricier, there are a myriad of titles, and the vast majority of them are much cheaper than the 70-90 price point targeted by Nintendo.
- Comment on We're cooked, I'm hooked 1 week ago:
We had two once-in-a-century floods within a few months.
- Comment on Do people really think setting up domestic manufacturing in the USA is easy? 1 week ago:
Trumpers are actually dumb enough to believe that factories and jobs pop from the ground overnight and without any costs.
- Comment on [deleted] 2 weeks ago:
I rode a train going 300km/h, and it felt amazingly slow, compared to going 180km/h on the Autobahn in a car.
- Comment on Do people really think setting up domestic manufacturing in the USA is easy? 2 weeks ago:
Creating a single permanent job costs about 100k in investment. Any potential profits will only hold as long as the tariffs are in place, and as the tariffs are as volatile as Trump, nobody is going to spend that amount of money on an idiots folly.
- Comment on What kind of CAPTCHA is this? 2 weeks ago:
Nice trick to feed your computer with a virus.
- Comment on UK government says anyone working in Britain for the Russian state will have to register and declare what they are doing or face jail 2 weeks ago:
Nobody expects them to admit to spying, but it allows to hit them with another charge if caught.
It is the same with the questions the US asks visitors or people who want to get a government job.
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 2 weeks ago:
I own one, and I have read it.
- Comment on Today's Survey. One point for everything that you have NEVER DONE 2 weeks ago:
Two: I am mussing the boombox experience, and Bockbuster never made it to my country.
- Comment on Rocky rock rocking 2 weeks ago:
This is not a rock. It is just a pebble.
- Comment on I'm old 2 weeks ago:
Give me that anytime over a laptops usual scratch’n’sniff pad. Because whenever I type on the keyboard, I trigger this thing from afar, sending the cursor everywhere. Somehow, those things react to me remotely.
- Comment on how tf do you warm up plates? 3 weeks ago:
Put some water on the plate before putting them into the microwave.
Microwave heats water, water heats plate.
- Comment on 'vegetative electron microscopy' 3 weeks ago:
I told them to actually solve the equations and think about the results.
- Comment on 'vegetative electron microscopy' 3 weeks ago:
Don’t insult me with the e-word!
- Comment on 'vegetative electron microscopy' 3 weeks ago:
At university, I faked a paper on economics (not actually my branch of study, but easily to fake) and put it on the shelf in their library. It was filled with nonsense formulas that, if one took the time and actually solved the equations properly, would all produce the same number as a result: 19920401 (year of publication, April Fools Day). I actually got two requests from people who wanted to use my paper as a basis for their thesis.
- Comment on [deleted] 3 weeks ago:
It is always a question of perspective.
Like trying to get two people sitting opposite agree on whether the number is a 6 or a 9.
- Comment on Newest Shennigans from YouTube 3 weeks ago:
I’ve seen short upheavels caused by youtubes greed these days when they complained that they did not like adblockers, but at least the video restarted after a short hiccup. This seems different. No, this is different, I just checked.
