I mean that would save millions and millions of dollars right off the top. Between salary, bonuses and stock were talking hundreds of millions in some cases. Maximum shareholder value increase.

No, Satan dared to defy his father and was thrown out of the house.

None of these fucks would dare defy their daddy Trump.

No, that was just development on the promised No Man’s Sky-style recovery they were working on.

It improved a bit, and then the studio began working on an overhaul internally to provide what the game should have been, sort of No Man’s Sky style… but they were shutdown by Bioware.

There’s a lot of reasons it ended up the way it did, development hell and poor management mostly. Hell, the flight mechanic, which had been added and removed several times in development, was core to the released game, and easily the best part, apparently wasn’t even decided to be a necessary feature until Patrick Soderlund, former head of EA studios, was very disappointed in a demo BioWare had shown in early 2017 that the team decided to add flying back in.

One of the core pillars of the game was essentially added just to impress an executive and keep the development going versus being canceled. Flight like in the game requires the entire map and structure of the game world to be different. If you can fly,. you now need to take advantage of the vertical space, something that simply doesn’t even get considered in most games. A mountain you can climb is not the same as needing to fill in an entire mountain range and canyon region with content.

What do you mean? Nintendo decides what options are available for their console and how much they cost.

They could have made both card options cost the same. They could have more than just a 64GB option at different costs for larger or smaller games. They could have made it a requirement that the key carts are only able to be used if the game doesn’t fit on the options with storage.

There’s a lot of other options than just making the objectively inferior option significantly cheaper.

Except this time around it’s already looking like a minority of games are going to be on the carts. The blank key only cards are cheaper, so publishers are choosing solely because of that to maximize profits.

Previously on the original Switch the key carts were often games that didn’t fit the onboard space.

Banned consoles are getting returned and sold as used already to unsuspecting consumers.

It also brings other choices they’ve made this generation into question. Many games aren’t actually on the cartridges, they require downloading them to play even if you have a physical cartridge. If the device is banned, you cannot access the eShop to download anything.

A minority. And it’s only going to get worse as time goes on. The digital only carts are cheaper for publishers, so you know that’s what the majority will pick just because. The ones with the game on board also only come in a 64GB flavor (currently) so anything larger than that won’t fit and would require a digital cartridge.

Nintendo clearly wants to transition to digital only for some reason, even though they’re releasing some first party games on the carts still.

The current physical carts are only available in 64GB size, and the key only carts are a lot cheaper for the Switch 2. Which means higher profits for the publishers, so of course that’s what most of them are going with.

I don’t actually know if a banned console can still download and install games from a cart, haven’t looked into that specifically. Knowing Nintendo though, they wouldn’t give a shit about customers no longer able to play their purchased games. They don’t care about the customer after purchase in any regard and haven’t for years based on comments and actions they’ve taken.

That means you can’t use the eshop

Which is where the issue is. Banning from online play is justifiable, the issue is the rest.

Since most games aren’t even on the cartridges and are downloaded from the eShop even when you buy the physical copy.

Does that ban prevent you from getting game updates?

Does the ban prevent you from using the physical games you’ve purchased?

Because that’s where the issues are. Nintendo can ban the console from online play all they want, their decision of how the Switch 2 handles the actual games and installs means that it would turn the device effectively into a brick.

I switched to Bitwarden after the LastPass stuff a couple years ago, and I just got around to installing Vaultwarden on my TrueNAS system at home. Using a single Cloudflare Tunnel to handle secure external connections for that and other services like Emby easily. Took a little bit to setup following some guides, but has been working flawlessly for me and some friends. You can use the regular Bitwarden apps and extensions since they natively support self hosting.

Lots of downtime at work at 3am. Might as well poke the Europeans since they’re awake.

That is not why fahrenheit works the way it does

You’re entirely right, but it’s fun to trigger people like you with a couple words that ultimately mean nothing.

You are projecting your own ignorance over billions of people, because you yourself have no idea how it works.

You mistake ignorance for simply not giving a fuck. I know what Celsius is, I know how it converts, I just don’t care.

It’s very entertaining to be able to trigger people at will to crawl out of the like bugs and talk shit online, wasting their time on a topic that doesn’t matter in the slightest. It’s usually the Europeans, they seem to have a superiority complex about this specifically for some reason and love typing at length about it. Most other countries outside the EU region don’t bother, probably because it doesn’t matter.

Also, here’s the obligatory reminder to the Europeans that the US began using metric in 1866 and officially switched to the metric system in 1975, it just wasn’t made mandatory to switch, so most didn’t. Because it doesn’t really matter for daily life which system is used.

You do realize the reason fahrenheit is set up that way, is based on the human perception of temperature. 0-100 is the general range or cold to hot. Of course some inhabited areas end up outside that range a bit, because humans are adaptable but generally speaking it allows for far more graduation in every day real world scenarios. Metric is good for science, but not ideal for casual everyday usage of hot and cold.

Your body doesn’t really care what the boiling point or freezing point of water is. But you should and generally do need to preemptively plan for environments outside the fahrenheit scale.

So can the US military. We’re talking about reality though, not what’s technically legal.

They’re going to make the soldiers’ life a living hell for not following orders all the way through the inevitable court martial trial.

It’s a screen made by Microsoft to match their aesthetic and settings pages, of course. But it’s the exact same Google account sync system that every Chromium has, unless you’re specifically using an unGoogled version.

This is literally the standard Google sync account stuff in every Chromium browser. Don’t want it? Pick a browser that isn’t Chrome based. That basically leaves Firefox or a handful of brand new alpha buggy browsers no one has heard of with dubious update potential.

Edge is a Chromium browser. This is the standard Chrome sync stuff from nearly every one of those.

Good lord people, it uses a weight on a spring that’s magnetically actuated. Stop spreading dumb rumors.

People refer to vibration motors using that phrasing regardless of the actual technology used to achieve the vibration. No one gives a shit that Apple call theirs a Taptic Engine, or that it uses a linear resonant actuator as opposed to something like an offset spinning weight. It is a vibrate motor to 99% of people, even though it doesn’t technically have a motor.

Keyboard, mouse, track pad, track point, all of them have limits. Sometimes just touching what you want to do is more convenient. And if you don’t want to use it, then you can ignore it with no adverse effect. It isn’t something that’s in the way or prevents you from using other input methods.

And at this point the technology is so cheap there’s no reason not to include it. Well unless your company’s entire profit structure is based on charging exorbitant amounts for minor upgrades and making the lowest cost option almost always have some sort of glaring deficiency to try to push users to pay hundreds more than they need to for the “optional” upgrades that should have just been included and cost pennies on the dollar for the company. Then using your cult like user base to gaslight each other and outsiders into believing they don’t actually want something you don’t provide.
