Nothing inside a video game should cost real money.

It is neither a product or a service. It's a scam.

Would we say "new?"

Novelty-obsessed Nintendo must have glanced at the market circa 2015, and figured... "I bet we can just do the Game Boy again."

If they're even capable. Every department will insist your gaming handheld needs Recall and Copilot and Office loading at boot.

Time is a flat circle.

The cylinder must not be damaged.

Things techbros imagine they've invented:

• Trains
• Friendship
• Fraud

Oh that's sick.

Nazis getting popular doesn't make stopping them less necessary.

"How can NSA--?" is a question.

"How NSA can--" is a statement.

Who?

For Javascript it's () => { }. Lamba functions! Because at least it's more readable than Perl.

Reading a tab as however many spaces is trivial, and the point of tabs.

Reading however many spaces as a tab is a gross hack that has to be dialed-in for whatever standard the document chose.

Just use tabs in the first place. God damn. That's what they're for.

That sounds like tabs with extra steps.

Tabs, not spaces.

I don't give a shit if your arguments perfectly align to the function. It's only semantic indication. Use the goddamn special character that has its own dedicated key.

What they had been charging was about what other stores have been charging.

When they have absolute monopoly.

Nintendo charges that much because only Nintendo provides Switch software.

Microsoft charges that much because only Microsoft provides Xbox software.

Sony charges that much because only Sony provides Playstation software.

Apple charges that much because only Apple provides iOS software... despite the EU's best efforts.

Steam and Android act like they're the only store that matters, for their platform. And it works. Because they are.

... and it still won't dent Steam's de-facto monopoly.

Must have trained on this:

The sort of thing that'd be really fucking useful, anywhere in the last twenty years - if it was built by privacy nerds. If I'm out with people at a mall or whatever, we should be able to exchange GPS coordinates once per second, using approximately zero percent of any modern server.

But it should be extremely opt-in. Like not even an option to turn on and leave on. And if any fucking brand ever sees that data, the person responsible can track my phone's trajectory through their front window.

I've had people say "you" is a slur.

Fuck off.

I could make a more detailed argument, but no. I should not need to.
