| hereforemnant 04/10/24 1:19:43 PM #22 | Tyranthraxus posted... Fair point though by the same token it's also an overstep to say selective abortion is definitively eugenics.It's one of those topics that I think is fair to be argued for in either direction. It comes down to a person's morals & ethics. I would say that selectively aborting fetuses that you know will have debilitations or abnormalities is trying to control for more healthy progeny through eugenics, others might say no unless cells are being specifically altered through gene editing. & Zmythos, I don't know if I'd say it's a "moral" quandary for GMOs as an aside. From what I know & see, the word has been heavily bastardized by misinformation & uninformed people knowing it as a boogeyman just like MSG. When ultimately, given climate change, pesticides, & as populations increase & resources become more scarce, technologies like GMOs will become incredibly important as a logical imperative, instead of being a moral dilemma. |

| hereforemnant 04/10/24 1:14:30 PM #6 | The only problem with the switch cartridges is that the innate storage size is dog shit & there's dozens of games that have updates that don't fit on the cartridge, & then the little flap covering the port is incredibly fragile. Mine kinda rattles a little now even when shut because it's holding on by the length of two hair follicles |

| hereforemnant 04/10/24 1:10:25 PM #19 | Tyranthraxus posted... Aborting a fetus with a defect isn't eugenics by the way. Eugenics is literally the sterilization of people who have poor genetic qualities they're likely to pass on. If you abort a fetus you can always try again later. Under eugenics you wouldn't be allowed to.https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/a/forum/7/7fa3263f.jpg Normally I don't think you're wrong about much, but it's one hell of an opinion to say "selectively aborting fetuses isn't eugenics" when it's still a hotly contested subject by people who are bioengineers & much more educated than us about the subject matter. It's up in the air & could be argued either way, the same way there was a distinction made by GMOs that were done through cross breeding flora species, & organisms that went through CRISPR or gene editing. |

If women have the right to choose, what's wrong with choosing to abort a fetus who will otherwise have a developmental, physical, etc. condition that impacts quality of life for them and the parents?Yeah eugenics has been a buzzword that panics people after WW2, but in the same way that GMOs have a negative connotation, both can be used for good or evil they're just tools to be used properly by humans. |

Wouldn't be a bad idea to invest in Tencent, depending on how china's regulations go, since content generation in those games will be huge in the future like that article shows. |

| hereforemnant 04/09/24 7:24:46 PM #58 | kirbymuncher posted... yeah see I saw that article but then I also found things like thisAh okay hold on let me rephrase & correct this then. From what I see, the gaming industry for revenue beats out movie/TV combined, but that the growth rate for gaming's market valuation exceeds movie & TV since it's gone up 149$ Billion since 2006-2019. & Blinx, the problem isn't that digital gaming or mobile gaming is bad. It's that there's a lot more predatory & manipulation going on there that affects the industry as a whole because it's leaked into the console/PC gaming space. If there were regulations put forth, like what china is doing with mobile gaming which I honestly 100% agree with, then you could assess where each lies because they get managed differently. Like for profit & non profit, traditional gaming & consoles being managed to not have all the predatory MTXs, battle passes, season passes, DLC, slot machines, & all that have to be in mobile games strictly or heavily constrained if they exist in the former. |

| hereforemnant 04/09/24 7:10:33 PM #54 | kirbymuncher posted... Do you have stats on this? I tried googling about it and found some pretty mixed results, especially when it comes to the size of the movie industryhttps://www.gamepressure.com/newsroom/ gaming-market-grows-beyond-cinema-sports-and-music/z03265 Yeah the game industry got bigger than the others years ago, obviously it's gotten even bigger since then. The accessibility of games, the rise of F2P & freemium games has changed a lot because you can always spend 500$ on Genshin, or just buy Armored Core VI one time for 60$. I answer your question here Blinx, yes it probably wouldn't be as big if it was strictly limited to physical media, but no one wanted to lock out physical media on PC that's just where the profit incentive went over time. It'd still be a 50/60$ Billion a year industry if there was no inflation of digital freemium shovelware & gacha games everywhere, but it was still healthy when you just bought a physical game, got some updates & DLC, but that was it & you weren't downloading 120GB online every single time you bought a game. |

Video game console hardware spending also peaked in 2008.Yet it remains the largest industry of entertainment in the entire world now, even more so than music/movies & TV combined. They(gaming publishers) sold the lie that moving to digital would reduce costs & save customers money & it doesn't unless you just wait for the normal fall off in price that's been happening for decades. Opening a store with a single font of income is a bad idea for an item depending on if the good is elastic or inelastic as well obviously. Video games are incredibly elastic, you're asking for losing money which is why most today split between media, consoles, toys & extra add-ons, plushies & things like that alongside it. |

Depends if you're going to take their answer to that question at face value, or look at how they actually respond when the situation comes up outside of people specifically asking if it's okay.The 3.3$ Billion Israel keeps getting in aid every single year kinda tells us everything. Ukraine has been getting more recently because they were invaded, but before the invasion by Russia, Israel gets billions every single year. They're signalling where the values are. |

| Topic | Physical gaming media all but dead, report |
| hereforemnant 04/09/24 6:41:42 PM #42 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] It's the entire culture of gaming & movies/social media that has moved us to quick consumerism & consumption of products that has pulled physical media into a more niche area. PC gaming started the trend that began to doom us, old people will remember when you could go into stores & buy physical discs for WoW, PC games & lots of stuff. Then when disc trays started to get phased out of laptops & such, tower PCs began doing it as well. The console market is pretty much all that keeps physical media alive, & far too many people don't understand right to repair or ownership of physical media. I'm just surprised that the people complaining about big tech & big corpo the most, never mention video games when they complain about the WEF or "you'll own nothing & like it" crowd. Not even a dismissive wank of acknowledgement about owning what you buy, just nothing. People just want to consume & move onto next item, so ownership of what we buy has fallen to the wayside. |

My older brother and I had a great relationship, but he sent me a Tucker think piece, and when I told I wasn't a fan, it spiraled out of control and he said I have a demon's heart just a few days later.Some in here clearly aren't understanding this, there is no compromise or bipartisanship with those types because it's not just about talking to another person to influence them & make them see your side. It's a deep consuming hole of propaganda they've fallen into, jovial handshakes & sharing a Coors or whatever while you talk in the majority of cases isn't going to change their minds. That's what my issue with the brothers is because at 16 minutes they say emphatically that they believe they can still pull that off. Twitter is where information and discourse goes to die if it doesn't get community notes, but they are two white dudes so I doubt they understand the gravity of the next few years which is another part of the problem. |

Sorry, I didn't ask for that.You specifically said & suggested I was giving leeway to Destiny like I don't have a six shooter with 6 hard criticisms & complaints about Destiny in the mag off the top of my head, now you say you weren't asking for me to give you examples of what Destiny does bad after 3+ times of implicitly suggesting that? Come on bro I know your reputation & your gimmick because I just saw you doing it in another thread, don't do this annoying shit. As for the rest of that, yes it took aid workers being bombed in an explicitly targeted manner for Destiny to stop weaseling around the "oh well I guess these might be comparable to war crimes if I had to be nailed down to a position." But he still maintains the stance that the specific intent for genocide isn't there based on how he perceives legal terms, even if the mens rea for criminality may exist because ethnic cleansing is not mutually exclusive with genocide & that you can have one without the other. IDK the brother's position on Israel succinctly off the top of my head, I just know from their debate with Alex Jones & what they post on their website & said in that podcast episode, that they're very much the "yeah Republicans want to exterminate trans people & destroy the country, but they haven't said anything specifically bad about me or someone I know & that shouldn't stop me from having a beer at the bar or talking with them as someone to be friendly with" type of liberals. |
