This is more of a nothingburger than that random multiplat video game announcement having just "nintendo" instead of "nintendo switch" listed for the platforms it's on.

The upcoming news seems like Sony will be acquiring Kadokawa games anyway so this seems like a given.

Found out a bit of info. The lab assistant who looks after the monkeys each day. She's putting lipstick on rabbits and stuff. Gets pally with the chimp. Every day, it's studying her movements more and more. He notices the number on the keypad, 247. Monkey says to himself that he'll remember that. Notices the lipstick and stuff still laying about.

While the lab assistant is messing about with the rabbits, monkey goes to the mirror, puts on the lipstick. Goes to the door, enters 247, walks out the door. Guard on the door just says "Alright, Kirsty?" and let's the monkey go off.

Weird, innit?

I think being cynical, and at the very least wary towards Nintendo is pretty justified, especially successful Nintendo. Successful Nintendo repackage games and sell them at markup, or charge more on a game because "we worked really hard on it" nonsense. Or the entire concept of the stupid nso compared to the virtual console.

Meanwhile Desperate Nintendo a la the gamecube and wii u era would do things like give away Bayonetta 1 for free when buying Bayonetta 2. That's the Nintendo that grovels to consumers and is humbled.

It's a constant battle between wanting them to be successful to make more games but knowing that their success causes greed and screwing over consumers.

Being cynical of their standard announcements and dealings is valid. Being cynical of what they say in their investor meetings is less.

Sure, but how many of those left wingers not voting are hardcore leftists instead of fair-weather liberals who claim to be for progressive policies on the surface but in truth value republican economic policies more or have some conservative stances themselves like supporting being harsher on criminals, wanting to cut down on immigration, thinking that media is going too far in pushing representation etc. Like I'm on the resetera thread on this as well and I saw someone mention how so much of NYC, even progressives, have been sour on immigration and being light on criminals and another hearing a liberal friend use the term woke unironically.

Could that be because the more right leaning people just don't use those polls? Which seems to be what's going on now as we're shocked by seeing just how bigoted/accepting of bigotry this country really is? I'm genuinely asking. I just find the idea that more hardcore leftists would skip voting for democrats because they think the democrats are too much to the right when the alternative is far right fascism weird when there's an alternative that the more "moderate" or "center" left would skip voting for democrats despite claiming to believe in progressive values on the surface if they feel like they don't care for either candidate or even that they feel "ostracized" from democrats being "too left" even for them, and that Trump winning isn't as bad to them as they're not as affected by the right wing winning. Fair-weather liberals.

I'm just basing it on that one tweet. I could be wrong, but the wording suggests that the E-Shop is staying. Not that the console will be backwards compatible with physical media.

I think the default interpretation is that "switch software" would mean the ability to play Switch games on the successor by either means. Thinking it would only mean digital as a weasel worded technicality is a cynical interpretation. In any case, all the outlets are reporting it as BC so if they really did mean only digital then that's going to have to be corrected fast.

Nowhere does it say physical cartridges are going to be playable on Switch 2s console. It says "Switch Software" which for all we know could be digital downloads, which is what Nintendo has been doing for years now. Literally nothing changes. Until I see some clarification of it performing like a PS2 or DS with a physical slot, I'm not going to hold my breath for hardware compatibility.

This was announced at the investor meeting and it's highly unlikely they would announce BC for the investors only to go "psych! we only meant digital!". That's something they might do with public game announcement marketing but not at an investor meeting.

I think achievements should be in the game ITSELF and thus be capable of unlocking things. Making it a meta platform thing just kind of cheapens it imo and makes it more about the platform instead of the game. And it seems some devs, especially indie ones, aren't fond of needing to include them.

It's bigger inside the nerdsphere than it used to be but it's still nowhere near the mainstream as a whole. Go ask anyone on the street what a neon genesis evangelion is and they will stare at you like you just shit their pants.

They would probably recognize Dragon Ball, Naruto, and One Piece. And zoomers and younger would recognize MHA, Attack on Titan, and Jojo. Of course older generations would probably not recognize anything more

edit: i mean ig actually it's similar enough levels of objective severity difference but the only point of the way you rephrased it seems to be making the woman seem worse

I was trying to word it in a way TC might understand. He seems to see Onlyfans as being obnoxious self-aggrandizing streamers who get rich via "undesirable" ways so I used another equivalent with more visible male examples of notorious obnoxious self-aggrandizing streamers who are rich via "undesirable" ways.
