Supposedly an American spouse, on a Finnish instance? Probably a Russian account.

Edit: and it's a day old account.

They're not even trying.

So you're part of the fucking problem. Good to know. I'll make sure to tag your account to remind me of the context when your stupid posts show up later on.

Makes me really wonder though how an affluent American spouse ends up deciding that a Finnish Lemmy instance is the one to make their account. Much more likely you're just a Russian troll.

The third of it that voted for exactly this.

I mean that would save millions and millions of dollars right off the top. Between salary, bonuses and stock were talking hundreds of millions in some cases. Maximum shareholder value increase.

No, Satan dared to defy his father and was thrown out of the house.

None of these fucks would dare defy their daddy Trump.

Don't forget the eruv circling Manhattan so they can ignore other Sabbath rules wholesale while going about their days.

Quite often yes. Because the laws don't usually specify anything about time of day or school activity, just location. Peeing on the fence at 230 am at the school down the street from the dozens of downtown bars? Sex offender registry. Clearly you're a pervert. And many State registries do little to differentiate severity or disclosing types of offenses, so that drunk guy pissing on the fence will be listed right alongside the church pastor that forcibly raped several dozen children.

No, that was just development on the promised No Man's Sky-style recovery they were working on.

It improved a bit, and then the studio began working on an overhaul internally to provide what the game should have been, sort of No Man's Sky style... but they were shutdown by Bioware.

There's a lot of reasons it ended up the way it did, development hell and poor management mostly. Hell, the flight mechanic, which had been added and removed several times in development, was core to the released game, and easily the best part, apparently wasn't even decided to be a necessary feature until Patrick Soderlund, former head of EA studios, was very disappointed in a demo BioWare had shown in early 2017 that the team decided to add flying back in.

One of the core pillars of the game was essentially added just to impress an executive and keep the development going versus being canceled. Flight like in the game requires the entire map and structure of the game world to be different. If you can fly,. you now need to take advantage of the vertical space, something that simply doesn't even get considered in most games. A mountain you can climb is not the same as needing to fill in an entire mountain range and canyon region with content.

What do you mean? Nintendo decides what options are available for their console and how much they cost.

They could have made both card options cost the same. They could have more than just a 64GB option at different costs for larger or smaller games. They could have made it a requirement that the key carts are only able to be used if the game doesn't fit on the options with storage.

There's a lot of other options than just making the objectively inferior option significantly cheaper.

Except this time around it's already looking like a minority of games are going to be on the carts. The blank key only cards are cheaper, so publishers are choosing solely because of that to maximize profits.

Previously on the original Switch the key carts were often games that didn't fit the onboard space.

Banned consoles are getting returned and sold as used already to unsuspecting consumers.

It also brings other choices they've made this generation into question. Many games aren't actually on the cartridges, they require downloading them to play even if you have a physical cartridge. If the device is banned, you cannot access the eShop to download anything.

A minority. And it's only going to get worse as time goes on. The digital only carts are cheaper for publishers, so you know that's what the majority will pick just because. The ones with the game on board also only come in a 64GB flavor (currently) so anything larger than that won't fit and would require a digital cartridge.

Nintendo clearly wants to transition to digital only for some reason, even though they're releasing some first party games on the carts still.

There's usually people in the bar area if you don't go at like, 11 am.

The comment you responded to literally says that the article makes no mention of alcohol, or even food. So barcades aren't what you need to be looking at. You need to look at whether standard arcades will work located in old malls.

And the answer to that is clearly no, because they already failed once and things haven't changed for that. Barcades work not only because of the games, but the bar. A tiny selection of basic piswasser isn't going to cut it to attract people.

The current physical carts are only available in 64GB size, and the key only carts are a lot cheaper for the Switch 2. Which means higher profits for the publishers, so of course that's what most of them are going with.

I don't actually know if a banned console can still download and install games from a cart, haven't looked into that specifically. Knowing Nintendo though, they wouldn't give a shit about customers no longer able to play their purchased games. They don't care about the customer after purchase in any regard and haven't for years based on comments and actions they've taken.

That means you can't use the eshop

Which is where the issue is. Banning from online play is justifiable, the issue is the rest.

Since most games aren't even on the cartridges and are downloaded from the eShop even when you buy the physical copy.

Does that ban prevent you from getting game updates?

Does the ban prevent you from using the physical games you've purchased?

Because that's where the issues are. Nintendo can ban the console from online play all they want, their decision of how the Switch 2 handles the actual games and installs means that it would turn the device effectively into a brick.

No, a stroke. Rendering him unable to speak and without fine motor control so he can't tweet or play golf.

This is one of those situations where adhering to the treaty doesn't actually do anything positive, it just handicaps Ukraine's options.

A primary reason for the treaty is that landmines are indiscriminant and they last well beyond the length of the war they're placed for. So civilians are at risk decades after a war ends. The intent is to prevent ANY mines from being placed, by having everyone agree not to place them ahead of time.

However, Russia is going to place mines anyway no matter what. So there are going to be landmines in the area because of them regardless even if Ukraine doesn't place their own, so the danger will already be there, except Ukraine will have one less tool to fight with.

I switched to Bitwarden after the LastPass stuff a couple years ago, and I just got around to installing Vaultwarden on my TrueNAS system at home. Using a single Cloudflare Tunnel to handle secure external connections for that and other services like Emby easily. Took a little bit to setup following some guides, but has been working flawlessly for me and some friends. You can use the regular Bitwarden apps and extensions since they natively support self hosting.

You do know there's a reason for that voice difference in MGSV right?
