The Wii U sold poorly for many of the same reasons I expect the Switch 2 is likely to sell poorly. That is a price increase, not great marketing as far as I can tell, and it being possibly too similar to its predecessor. On the other hand, at least the switch 2 does seem to have a better lineup of launch titles than the Wii U did.

Oh hey, it's this asshole. This guy is the reason I reacted to that news about making all court rulings only apply locally with some humorous positivity. (also because humor helps me cope with general awfulness)

Hooray, I'm glad my thought process for initial steps was correct. If you don't mind me asking, my thought process for the recommendation of canvasing as opposed to something like flyers is that doing so would make you and your efforts come across as more human and genuine, especially if part of the pitch was that Comcast was astroturfing, do you know if that's something that actually works?

I don't have any experience doing this, so take everything I say with a grain of salt, but my first step would be to collect information on how similar projects have turned out in the past, in terms of cost and adoption, as well as how much money Comcast is spending to counter this effort and what kinds of services they offer in the area at different price points. Then see if there are any people in the community that agree with you on the deployment of municipal internet who could be convinced to make the effort to assist you with convincing the rest of the community. With that information and those people, organize a canvasing effort, as in go door to door and actually talk to people about their stance on the matter. I would focus on that "locally owned and operated" argument, as well as the fact that if Comcast is spending money trying to prevent this they surely must be expecting to earn even more money from not having any competition in the area, so they can get away with higher prices and worse service.

Honestly I think it would be funny to see them try. The vtuber market is pretty resistant to allowing the kind of abusive monetization practices that techbros like, at least from my observations with Niji and the like.

I mean, this is late even by that metric.

I always assumed it stood for "thank goodness it's fridays" honestly.

I mean, the reason why polyandry is so much less common is that nine months is much longer than half an hour, or at least that's the most obvious reason.

The shop has a page where it tells you how many you've spent as well.

If your account is less than about 5 years old (and you live in the US) you can also just look at the points shop. Each Steam Point corresponds to one cent spent on Steam.

What, so I get to stop caring what Matthew Kacsmaryk, that one judge in the fifth circuit who is the only judge in his division so he is easy to shop for, has to say. I'll be honest, this sounds like a win to me, though I do admit it is going to make protecting the country from Trump more expensive.

It requiring extra development is the only explanation I can think of for why almost no games come with native linux builds, not even single player ones.

Because developing for Linux takes time, and it doesn't have a large enough market share to be considered worth it.

That's the one I remember being skeptical of, since it also corresponded with a drop in players overall as the game aged.

The Linux having an over representation of cheaters one.

That's a claim I've heard, but never from a credible source. Are you aware of actual data backing that claim up?

That's called an asset flip, and they are rightfully mocked.

Charging while undocked and using the built in stand.

Never heard of that, I assume it's an emulator. Emulation is different from running a game natively. Yeah, Nintendo probably could get AMD hardware to work as a replacement for Nvidia hardware, but I would guess either compatibility would be imperfect, there would be a performance hit, or both.

There is the used games market, if you are willing to engage with it, though that does need you to be really patient.
