@Gatitasecsii it does kind of have that same vibe as those old open world motocross games actually, yeah. I hadn't thought about that. I used to love just driving wherever tf in those back in the day.

@Aeolus oh wow I haven't thought about space ace in forever

@Leyonhjelm @SuperSnekFriend @sun I don't believe Jesus will leave the celestial kingdom, that's kind of the whole incentive to get there. I could be misremembering something though, it's been over a decade since I went to church last. People can go down to the lower kingdoms if they want to visit though, I know that.

Hitler has baptisms done for him all the time, actually. Names get cycled through for those "x for the dead" things and the explanation is that the people they are doing temple work for just haven't chosen to receive the good word yet, more or less. Theoretically, if Hitler did choose to receive it, he could go to the celestial kingdom.

@Yokappa wishing you the best!

@SuperSnekFriend i think the workaround for this is sealings for the dead, because if you die and you haven't had that done you will basically be in something akin to purgatory where people from "heaven" prepare you to receive the ordinances that the people on earth do for you.

in addition to this, you may have heard that there are 3 kingdoms of heaven that acts as "tiers." telestial, terrestrial, and celestial. telestial is basically hell but it's not eternal punishment and all that shit, it's more or less just a worse version of the world we live in right now. terrestrial is kind of just the world we live in right now. celestial is more akin to the traditional idea of heaven, however what is less known is that there are also three tiers of the celestial kingdom. to be in the first one, you must be baptized in the mormon church. second, you must have gone through the temple and received your endowments. third, you must be married and sealed in the temple.

the only people going to hell (called "outer darkness") are the ones who had undeniable proof of God and still chose to go against Him. a notable example of this is Cain. the people who were good but never received any of the ordinances will end up in the terrestrial kingdom, and the ones who were bad and never received the ordinances will end up in the telestial kingdom. that's how it is in a nutshell.

as always, a lot of this stuff is solely to wield power over people and strike fear into them. there is a song called "families can be together forever" that children learn from a very young age that insinuates that the only way they'll be with their family in the afterlife is if they follow the Lord, which in the context of mormonism is of course their own teachings. this has resulted in my family, especially extended family, breaking down on numerous occasions because they don't think i will be with them in the afterlife. it's pretty sad to see, and this is how they get you. soul snatchers.

nevermind all of the "ordinances" performed in the temple are either inspired by or ripped directly from freemasonry.

@get nah i believe it 100%, nintendo put so much stock out that the console wasn't even really scalped. they had a really good stockpile this time. the wii had some pretty bad supply issues iirc. we couldn't get one for like a year.

@Heckie ICE is in your walls, time to protest so that corporations can use slave labor and more children can get trafficked!

@LukeAlmighty fuck, we lost him....

@tomie well I have like 10 other things I like doing too lol

@get it did. Switch 1 sold more than the Wii did over the course of its life.

@egirlyuumimain @verita84 @ChristiJunior I would flip it on, think "ha, cool" and then turn it off lol

@Mr_NutterButter Nintendo is REGARDED and is going to make me UNALIVE SEWERSLIDE

@tomie i'm not going to be playing it at all hours of the day every day lol

@rlier23 every company is already trying to extract as much money from their audience as possible with microtransactions, letting people play three days early if the pay more, etc. and while they do this, their games are struggling hard because the games themselves suck ass. tons of studio closures and layoffs over this kind of stuff. if they get even MORE greedy about it without improving the quality of their games, then you'll see them start to tank even more and honestly good riddance at that point.

i will 100% pay $80 or potentially even more for a game that i really want that i think will offer me great quality and a lot of playtime. the largest MMO, FFXIV, requires $150+ just for the subscription every year lol. tons of people are clearly very fine paying that much. i put *tons* of money into PSO2 over the course of 4 years because I really enjoyed it. i have purchased lots of deluxe editions for games i really cared about that were $80-$100. if that's not where you want to put your disposable income that's totally fine, but i definitely think it is reasonable for a game to cost $80 IF and only IF it has enough in it to justify the price. which, to be clear, Mario Kart World definitely DOES NOT. i'm only fine with what it offers because i got it in the bundle.

if nintendo does continue down the path of pushing out $80 games that really do not justify the price point, then i won't buy them and a lot of other people probably won't either. if kirby air riders comes out and it's $80 but it has like 5 different city trial maps and double the events and double the race courses as the original game, i think that'd be worth it. if it's basically the first game but in 4K then hell no.

as far as the console goes, the switch 2 is priced right in line with where it should be. people have been begging for nintendo to go more towards power for a long time, even straight up wanting a higher powered switch like a switch pro or something. but apparently it's an issue now that it is 1. cheaper than the competition and 2. priced $50 more than the original when accounting for inflation.

people are mad at nintendo about the console price when i think the main thing they should be mad at is the economy in general and why it got so bad. prices have inflated so much so quickly that $450 seems like such a huge jump between the consoles when in reality it isn't, unfortunately.

i can't wait for the video to come out with the title "Nintendo has RAPED me for the LAST TIME"
