As it turns out, not a lot.

Have you ever considered public speaking?

If you have, don't.

So Pokemon is finally getting the patch it needs just to function properly. It's just tied to a $400 console.

The majority of the Switch 2's marketing has focused on ports and upgrades for old games. Which a Steam Deck still does better. And at least Valve won't brick my system when their profit margin is threatened.

I see what you mean. There's definitely been a lot of marketing overreach with the franchise. But there's something about Final Fantasy that makes it a money-printing machine. Maybe it's the long legacy, nostalgia, or the fact that they've been with it since the beginning, but FF marketing campaigns have (almost) always been wildly successful in a way that Tomb Raider, Deus Ex, or even Dragon Quest (in the US) can't live up to. Just look at Kingdom Hearts, Super Smash Bros, and even that Louis Vuitton promo with Lightning.

Not that I'm trying to sell you on this set. I get that a lot of people don't like Universes Beyond.

It's finally gotten way out-of-hand, even for me. Gen XI will be the first main series Pokémon games in 30 years I won't be pre-ordering, let alone even buying. First-party Switch games were already way too expensive, rarely ever going on sale, and now we may be moving to an $80 standard. And it seems the main selling point of the Switch 2 in the latest Direct was a bunch of ports. At that price point, there's no reason not to just get a Steam Deck and sail the high seas for first-party titles. At least Valve won't brick my device if I hurt their feelings.

FIN is the best-selling MtG set of all time and there hasn't even been a prerelease event yet. Blowing up the budget is plenty justified in this case.

I really hope there comes a day where all this nonsense builds up and finally ends with "algorithms" imploding on themselves.

An unrealistic hope, but a hope nonetheless.

Same way that kid with the hot mom felt?

I'd rather see Chrono Break revived.

I can say, at least in government, that open source is almost entirely used as a cost-saving measure, but it's implemented so poorly (by the time a piece of software makes it through the proper channels for verification, it's already several major releases behind. Which explains why CentOS is still so prevalent) that the general opinion becomes "open-source is just a cheap substitute for a superior commercial product."

Or just buy it.

Or a good old USB stick!

But they're ✨ sophisticated ✨

Oh, it still is.

But sometimes I have mildly inconveniencing experiences with the postal service in my extremely rural town that require me to navigate my extremely rural town's nearly non-existent public services so we should absolutely surrender complete control to Amazon

My wife loves the shopping ads and always complains when the Pi-Hole blocks them.

Thankfully (weird to say), the current political climate has her worried about being tracked online and she's finally opening up to the idea of proper privacy.

They at least had the forethought to implement a $200 universal basic income.

More like 1M an inch

Computer infrastructure is the front lines now
