Nintendo is actually the exception in this regard, they sold the switch at a profit from day 1.

Right. Before the internet people like this would be shunned by society until they either changed or stopped trying. The internet giving these people attention and power was one of the worst things to come from it.

I don't think Nintendo has as many die hards as you think. The wii and switch had over 100 million sales. The wii u had 13 million.

Now look at switch game sales, scroll past their major IPs and pokemon games, and once again the sales show around 13 million or less.

On wii u mario kart had 8 million sales, and not one other game passed 6 million.

The wii, wii u and switch all had around 3 million sales in their first quarter and didn't really pass that 13 million mark in their first year.

If only die hard fans that buy no matter what buy it, I think it absolutely will be a problem for them. And I think it has a real chance of happening. Half my casual gamer friends didn't even know switch 2 was a thing, and the ones that did know about it said they haven't seen any reason to get it yet, especially at the prices they're seeing.

The reality is, the family and casual markets are what carried them whether they like it or not. Not the rabbid fans. And like with the wii u, if they don't appeal to those markets properly, they won't sell well.

they don't stop eating when they get full, like we do.

Speak for yourself.

Saw this the other day, that part isn't as much their fault.

I agree, they definitely priced themselves out of several demographics including casual gamers, parents of young children gamers, and "I guess I'll get a switch as a second device" gamers. These people aren't going to look at a switch that's roughly the same price as the ps5 and xbox and think "yeah let's grab that one".

The wii u showed their demographic of "die hard fans that buy no matter what" is actually really small compared to the rest of their sales. And I think we're going to see a repeat of that.

The point is not everyone needs their next pay check to pay the bills. They could be fired today, need a couple months to find a job, and have enough to survive in between.

Tiktok dances are generally marketing to get new songs popular. They pay the biggest channels and it snowballs from there.

Do you have "open previous windows and tabs" ticked in settings? I'm also on 64bit win10 without the issue you describe.

Hoping someone might be able to help me out with this info, I've tried looking and can't find a solid answer.

When you use the "Save and close group" feature of tab groups, do they

1. Stay forever, no matter if you close Firefox, restart your pc, not used that group in months etc.
2. Allow an unlimited, or at least a high number, of saved and closed tab groups.

I mainly ask because it specifically puts closed and saved tab groups in a section called "recent tab groups" which sounds suspiciously temporary.

I'll start with Fortnite. Hate on it if you want but my kids and wife play it and I enjoy playing with them even if I don't much care for it myself.

It's gonna be different depending how you access Lemmy, here it is on Thunder

It also assumes it is immediately deadly poison, and doesn't do something like cause early dementia 25 years later.

Still super common in Australia.

The issue is figuring out whether any given statement is due to stupidity or maliciousness.

Things like this roll out to more people over time. It's clearly desktop, both from the screenshots and the fact people are complaining they can't use the scroll wheel to change the volume while hovering over the volume button. That's a desktop thing.

Except from what I've seen he actually is willing to listen to experts with stuff like that. He doesn't care about being right, that's why he constantly lies and let's himself be proven wrong 50,000 times. He only cares about doing what he believes will benefit him, and listening to doctors to save his life benefits him.

Honest question, would that even matter? I feel like someone that is so extremely polarising would have a very low martyrdom effect. His followers are basically already cult like, it's hard to imagine them being more loyal or radical than they already are, and people that aren't his followers probably wouldn't be moved to the right by his death.

Like if he died in the shooting, do you really think things would be worse right now?
