Nintendo will always care, especially since you can easily currently install emulators on stem deck, and I seriously doubt it would be impossible to install those on steam machine. Now aside from the emulation stuff, having another contender in the console market may always affect each of the companies simply because not everyone can afford all the consoles. Growing up the parents who raised me didn’t buy us a single console, so my first consoles were from the parent who only visited (divorce), in lieu of child support payments, and we generally only had one at a time until we started buying them ourselves.

If you’re on a limited budget, even with kids, you may only choose 1 or two consoles, and your choice may be the most “comprehensive”. While Nintendo makes excellent games for kids, it’s not like the PC market doesn’t have anything for kids. Plus new consoles in a market could convince publishers to expand that way too.

Well, he is a white kid in an affluent neighborhood (whole huge family affording vacation, large house), so he probably would have been treated better.

I don’t recall gumgum pistol being a .45.

I’ve wanted the buds, so no phone and just the XL is very disappointing. I might buy it if I have extra cash and the price is right, but I’m kinds fine with my current over the ear headphones. Good ear buds or the phone itself is far more in my interest.

I hated Windows updates anyway, so they never panicked me and I didn’t care much. I am on Linux now, but I had been leaning towards switching long before the EoL thing, but was putting it off.

(my comment was mostly joke-y bit)

I know, I wasn’t so much chastising you but more just speaking my mind. I was worried about being too serious in a joke context.

And yeah, the basic patern recognition parts of our brain does make it easy to have prejudices, and makes it harder to not knee-jerk react. (Also forgot to mention I’m also a manga enjoyer. Reading at my own pace is much easier than watching shows that define the pace).

I won’t define myself on the ideas of a self identified racist. Many people like that assume everyone is like them and just lying to themselves or trying to virtue signal.

Though, like Avenue Q joked, it’s very easy to have some ingrained racist views, and it takes work and introspection to resist it.

I hadn’t looked up what she looked like. Isn’t that Misa from Death Note, mentally ill homicidal stalker?

Then he whispers “keikaku doori…”

Watched the None like it Hot episode of Futurama and liked Wernstrom’s idea.

I have Tom Cardy songs I love because they’re funny, and Tom Cardy songs I just straight up love and are on my regular Playlist. Transcendental Cha Cha Cha is the top of my love, play all the time list, along with Artificial Intelligence, Don’t touch my Ladder, and Lo-fi.

I love a bunch of others too, too many to list, but some of those are comedy mood songs, while the above work for many more of my moods.

And my father. In fact, mother is in there with first name and her maiden name, despite being remarried. There was some logical reason I did it a while ago that I’ve forgotten. Either auto complete or audio dial or something.

Not that I’d give someone my phone, or ever send dick pics (I’m with Tom Cardy on this), but all my contacts are full names, including all my family members. They wouldn’t be able to tell. In fact, the only people with nicknames are my online friends, several of which still have their nickname despite us visiting each other multiple times and definitely knowing our real names.

You wipe em, and make sure to wash em later. Biodegradable single use will still be more wasteful and probably cost more.

I know this isn’t the point, but I do like to carry a set of portable cutlery around and often use it eating out. It’s usually a smallish case with metal straw(s), chopsticks, a knife, spoon, fork. Which one time lead to me forgetting my metal straw at the restaurant of course…

Ok… Plate techtonics were widely accepted in the late 1960s according to my search, which is exactly what the previous comic claims (make sure to read the image text).

What did he get wrong?

The document forgery one? Isn’t that just a joke? What exactly do you fact check about a hypothetical forged document?

That’s the one.

Bible uses repetition a lot. Sometimes almost like Mojo Jojo.

Ezekiel 23:20

There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. 21 So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.

Iirc this is some parable/prophecy about Israel not following god’s law or something. So slut shaming a whole nation.
