Just in case doesn't mean I actually wanted to use them, I've got a transition to finish, I'm trying to fucking make it to Canada if I gotta.

I just think dying in a gun fight sounds better than going to a camp is all.

That sharing part is a mistake. My mother has chickens and a rooster, I can't imagine shed have any trouble parting with excess eggs/chicks.

Building up your neighbors helps build the network that keeps everyone alive.

Unironically suicide by cop sounds better than a men's prison as a trans woman.

Like not even close. This isn't just like off the rip either, this is an actual calculation I've been making in my head since my egg cracked and it scares the ever loving shit out of me.

Name one game Nintendo has made that is so technically advanced or mechanically complex they can justify charging twenty more smackers than any other AAA developer?

Its not about telling people how to do their job. Its about the fact games are cheaper and easier to make than ever, and one of the biggest names in the industry is suddenly charging more than everyone else...

Using a pre-built engine/modern toolset and not doing anything yourself are two different animals.

No one has to painstakingly write their games out in assembler like they used too. Nor do they have to pay for the costs of manufacturing/logistics for digital copies.

Also keep in mind, their sales are way higher than they where 30 years ago because of market growth.

There's a reason indie games are flourishing, its because games are cheaper and easier to make than ever. (Not that their cheap nor easy)

I mean that's not shocking. Its basically where pokemon was like 15 years ago.

Which funnily enough puts early versions of MC at about the halfway point between now and the release of Pokemon Blue in 96.

There are kids who grew up on Minecraft who's kids are now playing Minecraft. Its on damn-near every platform, and sells well everywhere its sold.

If it has to be used as a defence then its probably not satire or performance art.

No one thinks Erik from Commentiquette is like how he is on video in real life.

Yes but that group by in large won't be buying a switch 2 for at least a couple of years. $450 per console plus $80 a game is brutal, especially if you're buying for more than one kid.

On the other hand a switch lite can be had for like $100 and used games aren't too expensive either. So for the price of a switch 2 you could get all 3 kids a switch lite + a game. No fucking brainer.

The sort of people who bought a switch at launch, after drinking Nintendo NX leaks like kool-aid, aren't as impressed this time around. They're also getting really pissed off at Nintendo's behavior towards the emulation scene.

Lots of those people, myself included, will be getting a steam deck. A lot of us will also probably end up buying a switch later on after sales/price drops/cheaper revisions. The same time most parents will be snatching them up.

Lifetime sales won't be affected nearly as hard, but I don't know that the first year will be as big as the OG switch's.

That being said if M$ can figure out a good UI for windows portables W/ Xbox integration that might make things even harder for them.

The steam deck can play literally any Mario Kart except for MK World...

What's the difference?

I think to the "early adopter" crowd, the people like me who where huffing Nintendo "NX" leaks back in 2016, the more "core" audience of people from the ages of late teens to however old James Rolfe is now.

Those people will probably buy a steam deck before a switch 2. There are a lot of them.

Though not as many people as there are like my ex-sister-in-law and her new bf who put together have four kids. The Linux PC I built them to make sure their kids had a good puter is enough trouble, even with me to help. I don't see them even considering them for their kids.

That being said I also think many of those people will stick to their current console until they release a cost reduced "switch 2 lite".

Buying a new $450 console for every kids plus $80 games is fucking brutal and most parents won't put up with that shit when a used switch lite is like $100-150.

I see this hitting their initial sales a lot more than their sales over the new consoles life span, especially as people who chose steam deck, and the parents who waited, slowly grab a switch 2 during sales/price drops.

Don't host it on clearnet :p

Also it depends don't their definition of what a platform is, they might only be targeting commercial operations.

Normal people can too, you can run an xmpp server on a fucking potato.

Same except instead of hating everything its literally because I'm not a dude and straight ladies saw it before I did lmao.

You'd think the fact that every girl I've fucked around with has been queer in some way would've been a hint.

For transfers between systems you own yes, but when grabbing a Linux iso from a public server FTP works fine.

For years Firefox allowed you to crawl FTP sites natively.

Not Epic's first rodeo with KB+M fps controls on a console either :p

I hope to god one day the developers at Mozilla finally get tired of this shit and fork everything under a new org.

Fuck off with more services and give me my integrated FTP client back. No one who uses Mozilla software wants more cloud shit or online services from Mozilla.

Oof owchie my ribs

Wtf why do all the good jobs keep getting take by fucking robots.

I don't want to dick with excel sheets, pay me to hug cows.

One of Sony’s best-ever PlayStation ads is a 21-second video titled, “Official PlayStation Used Game Instructional Video.” It’s a “step-by-step” guide about how to lend your PS4 games to your friends. It has one step: one person hands another person a game box....

...But more than a decade later, it’s not hard to imagine a future where Sony’s own ad doesn’t apply anymore

What a gut punch!
