  • I sea what you did there.

  • It's not uncommon to be below 0C for days at time during the winter here, with dips to -10ish overnight. Summer regularly tops 32C. It's 17 right now and absolutely glorious.

  • I dub thee Sir Phobos, Beater of Ass.

  • 12C is fairly mild. 12F... yeah, you're gonna need some layers.

  • Because it's not like these measures have been 100% accurate in the past.

    This is the part that really frustrates me. Don't get me wrong, I'm not a fan of the wording here. Account ban? Sure, against TOS, etc. But affecting the device is a whole other story. Especially when prior account bans have come under dubious circumstances.

  • As a cishet white male in the USA, anyone afraid of being "replaced" should actually be replaced. Net positive for the country.

  • Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice, shame on glue.

  • This is the only reason I preordered one. The manbaby in the orange house can throw a tantrum at any time. If it happens before release, I'll just cancel.

  • Yeah I think the PS2 is out of reach. Unless they slash Switch 1 prices and keep software support going I don't think there's going to be a long tail. Pretty much everyone that wants a switch has one at this point.

  • The joycons are an ergonomic disaster for most people regardless. I can't play handheld without a grip. I imagine the mouse aspect will be similar, and I'm expecting shells/grips or 3rd party more traditional mice to fill in for shooters etc.

  • I'm kind of scratching my head. For years, people clamored for more Switch, just better/faster/etc. That's exactly what's being offered. I don't consider anything a must-buy at launch. Switch 1 didn't launch with much, either. But over the past 8 years it's been my primary gaming machine. I don't see staying the course as a bad thing.

  • We are full.

  • 30ish more years of this. 🫠

  • Started on Mac. Still use one as my (not so-) daily driver. In the ~30 years in between, I've (professionally) been a PC field service technician, mainframe operator, datacenter tech, enterprise monitoring administrator, and a whole slew of other tech hats. In my personal time, I learned OS 7-8 inside and out (ResEdit ftw), built PCs out of spare parts (throwing Linux on some just to do it), turned an old tower into an external SCSI enclosure, built VM stacks for fun (DOS 6.2, Win 3.1, Win95 all on the same Mac box decades ago, just because I could), half-wired my parents' house for ethernet, built them a Hackintosh from parts, stuck a Linux VM on an old laptop to host Citrix so I could remote into work and have that one extra layer between personal and business, and gotten completely disillusioned with tech as a hobby and as the framework for modern society.

  • I do not wish, in any way, shape, or form, for my dreams to enter the material world. You ever have that dream where you spend hours picking chicken out of your teeth? How about the one where you need to pick up your great-grandparent's remains from a firebombed warehouse that is simultaneously in the middle of the city and surrounded by swamp? Or the one where a turtle comes out from under the stove, a spider starts stalking it, and every time you look away and look back they get bigger, then the turtle is a beetle, and then the spider finally catches the beetle by impaling it on 4cm fangs?

    No? Just me? Fair.

    Many people are saying it. Good people, honest people.
