Crunchyroll subtitles are absolute dogshit now. I am mad enough to cancel my account. Fucking sad that pirating will get me a better product than the one I was paying for.

I was just thinking unplug the desktop.

Look at that, Digg-ing up the corpse of a horse just to beat it more.

This is essentially market manipulation via speculation. The artificially create scarcity to drive up demand and price. They do it with food, they do it with housing, and they do it with healthcare. The basic things we need to survive are being held by fewer and fewer owners; then held hostage by those owners via monopolization; just to squeeze more from us. The earth is a fucking resort for the 3000 billionaires in this world, and the rest of us are allowed to work here at the pleasure of our overlords.

I wasn’t importing famicom cartidges, I was importing NES cartidges that were not published in america.

$80 for Mario Kart? At that price, we’ve got Mario Kart at home.

OMG this line got me 😂.

This was not the case for Nintendo consoles in the past. I imported plenty of NES, SNES, GC, GB, GBA, and DS carts that were published in Asia/Europe, but not published in the Americas, and had no issues playing them until the Wii. Those consoles I just mentioned were all region free.

The Wii made me absolutely rage because those consoles were region locked, preventing me from playing titles I had imported from other countries that weren’t published by Nintendo north America. I never spent money on Nintendo products after that. The rest of my family was still happy with Nintendo, and they have continued to purchase their consoles. I finally got my wife invested in PC gaming 2 years ago, and it warmed my bitter heart to hear she wanted a steam deck instead of the switch 2.

Loves the smell of his own brand. He probably huffs his socks when he takes them off at the end of the day too.

Do you know why it’s called MicroSoft? The founders and CEOs decided to name the company after their penises.

No. Even after taking friendly actions over, and over, and over, the matchmaking system will eventually match you with people that PvP. This game is rust lite. I soloed a bombadier, started looting, and heard someone walking up. Said don’t shoot, I can share this loot with you, and the guy killed my anyway. Best guns and gun mods gone. Begin grinding for new materials to craft new guns, mods, and level them up.

Fallout series, skyrim, predecessor, Baulder’s gate 3, control, dark souls, killing floor, runescape dragonwilds, first decendent.

Check craig’s list and FB market place for used parts and hardware. Did you save your old PC? You could still play older titles with it as well as some newer indie games that don’t need lots of processing power. If a new PC is a must, purchase the parts as you can afford them then assemble the machine once you have what you need.

Steam has it tagged as a PvE game. I took a chance on it because of the PvE tag. I thought it would be like WOW where you would be able to opt not to PvP. I should have read the reviews before I bought it. Too late for a refund now.

The answer to this post, and almost everything, is to tax the wealthy. AI is not ruining anything. The people in control of it are.

This is the correct take, right here. Per the article, ““The trend toward automation and AI could lead to a decrease in tax revenues. In the United States, for example, about 85% of federal tax revenue comes from labor income, says Sanjay Patnaik, director of the Center for Regulation and Markets at the Brookings Institution,” It’s the working plebs that are carrying the majority of the tax burden.

The rich can pay there fair share, or we can grind them up and feed the slush into a reverse osmosis machine during the water wars.

It’s a combination of vibe coding and absolutely no QA testing, because they fired a fuck ton of QA people 10 years ago. Microsoft is making it’s users beta test their fucking software through telemetry bug reporting. And we fucking pay for that privilege.

Remember Blizzard and diablo immortal, when they got booed during the reveal of the game, and then the devs were like, “does no one have phones?” Some of these CEOs and DEVS are so out of touch with what their customers want because they would rather huff their own farts all day, enjoying the smell of their own brand, instead of admit that they led product development to an area where there wasn’t market demand amongst their consumers.

Probably be less angry about grammar and spelling “nazis.” I’m guilty of those mistakes too, so I am not above being corrected myself.

Their, as in the disdain microsoft has for the user, not there, as in microsoft put the disdain in a box and it’s sitting across the room over there. However, your point is valid and stands.

Because they make so much more $ from selling your data. Microsoft would rather push these AI programs in an update, and bank on their users not noticing. The majority of users operate in a walled garden, they aren’t editing registry files or manually running commands, so they are less likely to notice the changes. It’s the power users that notice this shit, and sound the alarm.
