TV edit of Big Lebowski to be shown on US daytime.

They made their own emulator for N64 on NSO that performs worse than the FOSS ones in a variety of ways so previously they've not done this.

In one important way they are consumer friendly in terms of keeping physical media alive. I doubt PS6 will have a disc drive and M$ have already confirmed any new consoles from them won't.

Even these proposed "game key" carts can presumably be traded or sold so it isn't like a single use key for the online store.

Next time just ask for une pipe

They just respond in English after hearing my childlike attempts to parle français

Never been banned on reddit but I prefer how there is less of a moderation here for my searing hot takes when I feel like shitposting

Great info in this post

Some of the gamers had been loudly asking for it so the historical parallel breaks down a bit

Thanks I think you saved me from making a bad purchase

Yeah if I were being charitable I might imagine they aren't on the list because they are already subject to extremely high tarrifs and embargoes. Maybe increased those tarrifs could be a bargaining chip in ending the Ukraine invasion. Impossible to tell with Trump though.

I saw a 256GB one on Amazon UK for £22. Might pick it up now in case there are shortages or the price skyrockets. That plus the system memory would be 512GB of storage and I tend to buy physical games too.

Edit: The one I was looking at wasn't even the Express version. Lots of people are gong to get stung by this.

Edit 2: there are some micro SD cards marked Extreme but these are not compatible with switch 2 despite the name being similar to the Express ones.

Uh I guess my movie enthusiast opinion is that Clerks is a very funny movie that has some surprisingly good social commentary burried under the irreverence.

If we're talking about the actual morality of normal people working at "evil" companies, then I guess it wouldn't be an injustice if there was some kind of cosmic punishment for it. The reality is that capitalism is cut throat and typically more "evil" companies like the arms, gambling or tobacco industry offer you better benefits or financial renumeration than ones that don't have that stigma.

At the same time I'd argue that there are very few truly "good" jobs. A large component of the charity sector is essentially sales; even if you are working at a company building some inoffensive productivity app or B2B software you can end up potentially automating work that used to be done by a human office admin.

At the end of the day you need to work out what your individual tolerance level is for the excesses of capitalism. If society really frowns upon an industry then people vote and the laws change so ultimately those are the parameters you are working within.

Exclusive to switch 2 is nuts. I can't believe we are getting BloodBorne 2.

UK price confirmed £395 on their website.

Bloodborne spiritual sequel DuskBloods announced, exclusive to Switch 2.

My friend used to work at the call centre for Sky tv who are like a cable company in the UK. People phone up because they want to cancel and their job is to try to discourage them from cancelling for another few days. He left after convincing a legally blind lady to keep her tv subscription.

The purpose of school is to get you used to going to a grey building with people you hate every day

I have never worked in IT and not had at least one project I worked on which I didn't think was immoral. Even at a small web dev agency I was working on an app for keeping track of zero hours contract workers during their shifts in a major UK supermarket. I got invited into a meeting 2 weeks before it got released and told not to buy any tescos stock.

2 weeks later on release they fired several thousand of their full time employees and referred them on to this 3rd party to get their old jobs back with new - worse - contracts like zero guaranteed working hours.

Then there was the startup that was in adtech and spied on people online. We were on the adblock easylist of trackers to block.

After that there was the gambling company... idk it just seems like every job has a morally grey component to it.

Edit: had an episode of John Oliver Last Week Tonight about my current company on air last week.

Edit 2: One of my friends was working for VW in Berlin when the emissions test scandal came out. Ultimately she quit being a SWE and became a nurse. I guess everyone has their own tolerance levels for the shady shit they are comfortable doing at work.

Another friend used to work for a porn site but wouldn't ever touch gambling. He's still a SWE though.

9 people and counting who are in love with OP's mom

The evil dominatrix demon from the God Hand in Berserk. I believe she's called Slan.

OP implied it should be controversial
