I think it’s about keeping the inside items labels facing the front and looking clean and maybe better than the actual product looks on the shelves.

Kind of like how a burger looks better on the ads than in real life.

Now you don’t have to make sure everything is stocked neatly. But I think they are bullshit and will not buy from them.

Let’s add google drive.

I hate their ui.

I totally bought stardew valley and recommened this game a bunch of times to people after "trying" it. In fact, I have bought it twice on PC, once on Switch, and on iOS.

I would also like to add that piracy does not equate to a loss in sales.

There are plenty of things I would never spend money on, but I would check/try them out of they were free.

For example, a VR headset. I will never buy one since I get dizzy too easily generally. But, if there was one that I could try for free I'd try it.

So, If im using one at a library, it does not mean that a sale was lost. It just means I find the value of this thing to be less than what you are charging for it.

They already did this with Star Wars episode 7.

Yuzu did not pirate the game. Other people did. What did Yuzu do that was illegal?

Did the movie studies sue dvd player makers because people ran pirated movies on them?

I’m not in the US, so the options I had here were either expensive or didn’t have any reviews.

I’ve been wanting a steamdeck for some time and that is what pushed me to get one.

Nintendo is basically saying that they are guilty of enabling piracy.

That same argument would paint gun makers as guilty of enabling murder and crime. Nintendo should really be going after rom sharing sites. That’s totally legit, but not the emulation devs.

If they have a fund for legal costs I’ll donate.

You know why I played the games on yuzu? It’s because the joycons suck and they are expensive to replace.

I did the stick drift repair on my own, but the L and R buttons are soldiered to the main board so it can’t be repaired.

I bought a right joycon on its own and then the next week the left joycon had the same issue.

I wasn’t going to spend about $90 for an unreliable controller when an entire steamdeck costs $500.

It really paints the picture that the controllers are way over priced how can they alone be 20% the cost of the entire steamdeck.

If Nintendo made decent joycons, then I would not be using Yuzu.

Additionally, I dumped my own games and keys, so they got their money and through some effort, I got a better experience.

I’d like to add that the joycons were not heavily used either.

Thanks! I just downloaded chrome to use for this one off instance. I’m pretty degoogled, but needed to book a flight so I just needed to get it done.

When I was choosing a return site it kept saying, “oops there was a mistake. It was not your fault. Try again later”.

Their mobile app sucked too, so I installed chrome to see if it would work and it did right away.

I just had to install chrome to book plane tickets. Kept getting an error on Firefox.

Are their interactions any deeper than basically English. Does it require them to learn an entire language? To interact with the minority?

For me it’s also the measles thing currently going on

You mean people from other countries who move to America? Or people from other countries in general?

Well, if you move to America and don’t speak English, then that’s on you, but your ability to communicate and work will be limited.

If I moved to China or Japan and looked for a job, then I’d be required to learn the local language or I wouldn’t be able to do my job. (Not counting English teachers or people who are sent to Japan to do a job for an American company).

If you don’t live in the US and don’t want to learn the local language it’s fine, but you will be limited in your ability to do business outside of your country as the language of business is English.

The US government does not require you to speak English and if you don’t and are stopped by the police, they will use a translation service to speak to the person.

It’s also spoken by decent minority of people. Additionally, many Spanish speakers also speak English. It’s great to learn if you have someone to speak it with, but most Americans have no one to speak Spanish with once they learn it.

Additionally learning a language takes a lot of time and practice, people have other things to prioritize in their life than learning a language they don’t have a use for.

I say this as someone who speaks English, Spanish, and is learning a 3rd language as I don’t live in the US anymore.

Learning a language takes years and a lot of work and practice. Asking someone to learn a language is asking a lot of them.

Most Americans do not encounter a foreign language day to day.

Sure there are instances here and there, but they are not significant enough to learn an entire language.

Would you learn to speak Chinese because you couldn’t help someone with directions in China town or your food order was incorrect because of a language barrier?

I learned calculus for the same number of years that I learned Spanish in school.

So by that analogy, most Americans have studied a second language.

The problem is that you need other people to interact with who speak the language.

So, if you don’t naturally have friends or family who speak that language it’s is not really practical to learn as you can immerse yourself in it.

There is also no point in doing it, if you don’t have a way to use it.

Why not learn something else that can actually be used?

Again, this is coming from someone who is currently learning a third language.

So, here is my response to that.

Why? Where I am from in the US, at least 2 years of language classes were required.

I took Spanish as most people did and years later I had a long term relationship with a Mexican, so over time I learned Spanish.

I’m now, not living in the US and learning a third language.

But I’m very much the exception. Most US citizen, never interact with people who don’t speak English as most Americans never leave the US.

No matter how much you study another language, you are not really going to learn it and be competent with it unless you regularly use it.

Most people in the US will not have any exposure to the language they learned or studied. So what’s the point?

It just seems like a wasted effort for most people.
