This seems to be an unmoderated community/instance so I guess anything goes.

Do you reckon it’s more of a FAS thing that makes you go around calling people paedophiles or is it head trauma from being dropped repeatedly by your drunk mother?

Oh wow, haven’t seen that because of the adblocker. Fuck Eurogamer, that’s just illegal here. Meta has been trying to pull that repeatedly as well, they got in trouble with EU for that but I guess they feel more confident with Trump getting bribes from them now.

In the EU you can’t be legally opted into tracking without explicit consent so it’s usually as simple as pressing „confirm choices” or similar option. I can’t believe people don’t use adblock and deal with this everywhere though.

I don’t mean to gatekeep because boss fights in From Software games are getting ridiculous but I think wandering into dangerous areas and overcoming challenges by cheesing things and even grinding level and gear is part of the charm.

I think the point was that there are many people here are „predicting” that Nintendo is somehow going to go bankrupt because of this. People can no longer discern between wishful thinking and reality, it shows in many areas of life to tbh. No, you won’t wish something into existence just because it’s „right”.

I’ve read that with current Nintendo finances they can afford to not make any profit for something like 10 or 20 years. I genuinely think that they’re not as much as malicious as they are stuck in very outdated thinking that’s prevalent in Japanese business. They don’t get any short term profit from things like this.

Nintendo sits on a load of hard cash and has Apple-like profit margins. They’re not going away anytime soon and I think that’s for the best. They’re one of the last AAA publishers focused on innovation in gameplay which is why I can forgive them being mildly brain damaged sometimes.

Do you want to play it or do you collect games? If you want to play it then you can sell it afterwards. No rush because it’s not getting any discounts so it holds value quite well.

I’ve bought my copy for €37:

Yes, please do. Don’t leave me hanging.

If liberals call pedo anyone they disagree with now we’ve reached a new low I guess. Funnily enough I’m just a socialist and I try to signal my disgust with Trump as clearly as possible not too confuse liberals too much.

Here are couple of more shockers:

• Unions in the US were at their strongest when immigration was at its lowest because immigrants are capital’s labour reserve army. Karl Marx knew as much.
• Current US economic model that Trump is destroying was based on exploitation of its vassals. Liberals are angry because in his own stupidity Trump is destroying that evil but cozy empire.

What’s a repedocan? DuckDuckGo shows me some bike taxis and washing machine manuals.

Thats not my dream, I’m not even American, it’s the Americans that voted for it. It’s the dream world where Nintendo cannot afford not to, as far as I understand. Seems doable even if I cannot imagine that transition won’t suck.

Cannot? That’s super defeatist. US had pretty good electronics manufacturing capability until somewhat recently.

It’s not that rare earth minerals are this rare, it’s that their extraction is extremely bad for the environment so most western countries are happy to make it a brown people problem.

Trump is a moron in general and his narcissistic/hyperactive behaviour is cringe-worthy but fabs don’t get built in a single term. Biden continued many of Trumps policies because they were popular, funding ICE and increasing deportations included.

We’re good for now, at least on surface. Given that Switch 2 prices in the US didn’t go up after tariffs it seems like we’re subsidising Yanks for some reason. There’s also Japan-exclusive region-locked Switch 2 SKU that’s about $350.

What are the resources required to build electronics that are unavailable in the US? There’s no infrastructure, yeah, but saying a country the size of US is limited in what’s available resource-wise sounds silly.

All you’re saying it’s complex and that it will take time. Americans put a man on the moon, they’re a resourceful bunch. Some got pretty lazy though.

I don’t think people in Asia are different from others and will likely be interested in pivoting their economies to be less dependent on a single thing. China already started so things moved to Vietnam, Indonesia etc. which for now are cheaper. Eventually „the west” is going to run out of places to outsource dirty work to. Colonialism is visibly losing steam, hence the rise of fascism which is just colonialism pointed inwards.
