>Nintendo made sure to make consoles as cheap as possible for numerous reasons, and one advantage is price flexibility.

Except Bandai tried that with the WonderSwan, but ended up failing.

@beardalaxy Arrest the ones working for the shadow government. The public politicians would just be replaced by other puppets.

@PhenomX6 They realized that they have to be the change they want to see in the world. Pretty much every SJW indie gamedev/modder/ROM hacker has that mentality.

The more extreme types are the ones that actually go out of there way to dox people, DDoS websites, or sell puberty-blockers on the black market.

Localization of Japanese games has always been an issue. Western studios all the way back to the NES days have taken Japanese games and changed them in some way to try to appeal to the western audience more. Back then it was just trying to remove stuff like sex/nudity, since video games were seen as things made for children. Now, even things in M rated games are being censored, changed, removed, etc. It's not just the censorship, it's how often localizers actually just change things because they think it's better. It never is.

@PhenomX6 There are even "race swap" hacks which make white characters different races. They usually only change the skin color, so if the character is drawn in realistic proportions, they end up looking like badly tanned Caucasian characters. Other times, they end up fucking up the color palettes.

@PhenomX6 Not to mention that if they do keep their hobby, they will make their hobby about them. In the case of preserving beta max tapes, they will avoid tapes they deemed "problematic". Or in the case of ROM hacking, they will make "gender neutral" hacks of classic games to make them more inclusive.

The one thing the internet trans community fails to understand is that the #1 reason they're hated by nerds isn't because they literally exist, it's because they walked into every single community or converted members, turned them into single topic people, and then had them replace any interest with the cause.

Case in point; the example someone else made about how some autist obsessed with something like preserving old betamax tapes of anime or something like that will decide they're trans and suddenly drop old interests to focus on being a "trans gurl uwu". This doesn't always happen, but even in those cases it's not uncommon for them to turn into single issue voters politically and mentally.

Imagine your group is responsible for censoring everything and rewriting it to fit a political agenda and you wonder why people mock you, and you still don't get it.

It replaced "retard" and "fag" because now, there is a specific group that is in fact causing damage to everything, and if you say anything about it haha you get fired and get unemployable (but if you join it you can get a slick Google job).

Oh yeah about the supply issue thing, there's an elephant in the room as well or two.

Sony used liquid metal for cooling. MS did not and just made the Xbox Series X larger (because we know that they learned their lesson with the 3fixme). This is leading to a real issue with dry spots on the APU:

Really, it reminds me of all these hippies and hipsters practicing Zen Buddhism.

Fixed it so that it dies when the center point crosses a non-road tile. Looks more natural that way.

Any westerner claiming to be practicing Shinto is probably just some weeabo LARPing. I can't think of any other reason why some westerner would practice it.

What I like about having my own business:

1. NO VACCINE! 😃 Literally the reason why I started lol

2. I get to work whenever I want, with who I want, wherever I want.

So no more:

Envious/passive aggressive coworkers
Micromanaging
Pretending to work

3. People treat me with more respect.

4. Paid by project > hours.

What I don't like

1. Cheap/Retard ass clients

2. Taxes are a pain!

3. Prospecting - constantly sending proposals, getting ghosted and following up with leads can be a pain.

Ok listen up fuck heads. Stop what youre doing and read this shit. Florida is in the news about speech laws. But have you seen the ones they already have? With this mark chitwood stunt arresting a 4 chan poster from new jersey and extraditing them to florida, the state of florida is asserting a right to police the internet. Read all these laws. Its one page. These are laws already on the books in florida. Many of them recent. And now florida sheriffs believe they can police YOU too bow with a little help from the feds. Spread this shit and demand answers.

@ryo There was a video of someone sending him spoof emails claiming to be Linus, insulting his OS. It was absolutely hilarious, but I can't find that video anywhere.
