It's not the best selling console of all time. It had one of the best launches, but the PS2, DS and OG switch sold 160, 154 and 152 million. Switch 2 only has 5 million so far.

And you're not going to get ranked choice voting without a new party.

Not true, parts of the US have ranked choice. You have ignored the divide and conquer point. You cannot have a new party before ranked choice without splitting the vote.

However, there are a lot of people who don't vote, and a lot of people who are unhappy about both parties.

Get those people to vote in democratic primaries. Green and Libertarian exist for people unhappy with both parties and they just help to split the vote and barely increase voter turnout. Republicans strategiests promote the Green party because it helps them win elections by splitting the vote.

There are Republican voters disappointed in Trump who still can't bring themselves to vote Dem because of all the propaganda they've put in their heads.

A new party won't break that propaganda, you have to break the propaganda machine. If a new party was a threat, they'd just spin up new propaganda and guess what, those people will fall in line and not vote for your new party.

A bigger problem is making it an actually big party, getting media attention, getting money to campaign with, etc. US politics runs on money. Because yet another Green or Libertarian Party won't be helping.

You clearly understand the difficulty of a new party. That's why democratic primaries are vastly easier. You need less money, you need fewer votes to win, you can operate entirely in a smaller market, you don't need national media. Once you've won, you've already eliminated a candidate you'd have to run against and won't be splitting the vote with.

You can't start a new party without rank choice voting otherwise you'll just split the vote. You'll be falling for the divide and conquer strategy. Vote for progressives in democratic primaries and support rank choice voting. Only once a vast majority of the country is solidly rank choice should talk of a new party even be mentioned.

I fucking hate this logic. Trump took over the Republican party through the primary without Republican party support. People need to vote for the progressives in the Democratic primaries and not wait for the Democrat establishment to endorse them.

CO2 isn't dangerous to inhale until after 1000 ppm, so we've still got a way to go for in the inhaling department.

I feel like people believe this because the next two movies were so awful. I've always felt like the force awakening was worse than the prequels. None of the good story telling from a new hope was transferred.

You didn't protest evil, you stepped aside and said, "I'm ok if the world gets more evil". Your "protest" did nothing to stop or reduce the genocide, it's gotten worse. You've made it less safe for people who actually want to protest the genocide. Your only action was that you feel moral superiority in your own mind.

What would you suggest for better open world games?

Are these less than what Biden had as President?

I've seen several different images and there was a video on peertube. All of them look like content from a hacked webcam.

Gives me the same vibes as the wreckfest early access, hopefully they can deliver on their vision this time.

I don't see him starting a war without complete control of the military. While they are working on it, firing leadership, changing rules and policies, the military still has the power to say no to Trump, which is bad TV. Trump is also a bitch as seen by the wishy-washy way he approaches tariffs, he hates actual action because he just wants good TV and bad policy makes for bad TV.

The switch is more or less the same when docked, only additional feature is you get to use a higher resolution.

FOSS stuff like lemmy and mastodon will never get past the first step, which is fine. they will just occupy a separate niche.

I wouldn't say never, but fedverse projects will need to find ways to smooth off the rough edges. Also the more enshittifcation happens the more I think people will be willing and able to get past the rough edges. If any one of the services breaks through and becomes mainstream, it'll provide a roadmap to success for other services and people will be more comfortable with the concepts.

It's hard to see the exhaust opening in the video but the diagram shows a hole for it. I wonder how much it'll cost.

I don't think everybody knows that and at least here on Lemmy, it doesn't show it by default like friendica. The fediverse doesn't necessarily mean that all data has to be public. It's just that it's way harder to have a sense of truth without public data.

I've tried luanti several times and I'm trying to dial in the graphics settings for best performance with the lack of in game settings menu was always a such a pain I'd give up. I'm super excited about his change.

You had it right the first time, crossed out the wrong name.
