Yeah, I might have to delete Twitter just to get away from political ads.

I subscribed to YouTube premium specifically to avoid political adverts while still supporting content creators (political adverts are even more repetitive and uncreative than commercials, in my mind), and I actively avoid any room my parents are in when they’re watching any TV at all during campaign season.

I’ll get my info on how to vote by actually looking up the candidates’ actions on databases, thanks.

Silly question, but if Acclaim is gone, who has the rights to this franchise to authorize a remaster? I don’t think I was ever taught what happens when a corporation dies.

Is the Irish Sun owned by the same guys as the British version of The Sun? If so, I probably would look for other sources entirely. Preferably far, far away from the “games journalism” sphere.

Also, we can and do eat some mild poisons because they’re tasty somehow.

I have a love of chocolate, but smaller animals can’t eat as much without severe metabolic issues that might kill them.

And capsaicin is straight-up an anti-mammal deterrent. Birds might be able to eat it with no reaction at all. Meanwhile humans just deal with their temperature receptors being freaking hacked for seemingly no other reason than fun.

Gonna be honest, this is the post that caused me to learn (via dictionary definition/Wikipedia) that I’ve probably been using the word “debriefing” wrong (I assumed debriefing referred to something like aftercare, but in a military/espionage context),

Probably not at all what you were expecting to accomplish with this post, but thanks much regardless.

As someone who’s never taken a drug in their life, I wonder what sort of reaction someone on LSD would have to something like Tetris Effect.

I mean, my nickname for that game is “Trippy Tetris”.

Fair point. If so, it’s probably putting the update I’m downloading in the removable drive because I only have 21 gigs of free space, maybe, left on the SSD when its max capacity is almost a terabyte.

I dunno if he moreso deserves the boot or the sword at this point.

As in, criminal penalties for basically running a harassment ring, if applicable.

Nintendo has their own IPs to carry them, I don’t think CoD is helping them much, if at all.

For whatever reason, the fact that these “news” sites keep latching onto blatant rumors annoys me. I seem to find rumors completely useless.

There are two prerequisites to me being ok with the eShop closing.

1. The entire catalogue (or the most historically valuable portions) must be in the hands of historians and/or game preservation organizations
2. (option A). The games humanity collectively cares about would have to all be remade, and remade well, for later audiences. (option B). All titles the public want to remain available would have to be made permanently available by some other means, such as legalized emulation infrastructure (such as the Virtual Console on previous systems, but much more permanent).
3. (an alternative to the other options/prerequisites, I’d rather this one not happen). If other prerequisite options can’t be met, after so much time has passed that functioning Switches no longer exist.

My point is, I’ll be ok with the eShop closing when as little information would be lost as possible.

I REALLY hope this doesn’t lead to the original Switch’s eShop closing anytime soon. The industry as a whole has been terrible at historical preservation lately.

At this point, I’m hoping for there to be a spree of unionization.

Maybe a millennium from now we’ll have better means of keeping corporations in check, but in our species’ current and primitive state, unionization might be one of our only options.
