I don’t know if I agree Nintendo customers will get upset that the console may “outdated” in a couple of years.

The Switch was outdated on day one. It struggled to render Kakariko Village in BotW at a steady frame rate. But did that really stop the system from selling millions? Not really. The average consumer kind of doesn’t care about that stuff.

That said, the Switch 2 is certainly more expensive than the Switch 1 so things may be different this time.

Too bad coffee tastes like trash to this guy.

Guess I’ll die.

I do often eat some fruit, though.

Someone needs to sit this guy down with some crayons and be like, “the alligator wants to eat the bigger number. Do you now understand why you can’t afford this?”

So when is the next Animal Crossing coming out? That’s how we’ll know.

Right?

Sold more than predicted at launch (wasn’t it one of the fastest selling consoles ever?), had a steady holiday (I assumed everyone that wanted a Switch 2 got one by Christmas or bought one as soon as they could because of tariff threats), then this spring I remember seeing they had really strong sales numbers again.

Same. I had Disney+ and Hulu for YEEEARS until that happened. I canceled immediately. Also canceled Paramount after having it for years when they canceled Colbert for no reason other than to appease the dipshit president.

Link sure does run like a super dork in this one.

Never liked his running animation.

That said, this is running pretty great on my Mac mini. I installed the 4K textures, too, and it’s not hitting it too hard.

Bummer.

That was never Nintendo, to be fair. They’ve never really played that game like Sony and MS did.

Beyond VSCodium (which I have switched to since this news), what are everyone’s favorite alternatives that are easy to switch to?

I say easy to switch to because no one is jumping to Vim or whatever on this news. I don’t mean to offend the deeply Linuxed, but they aren’t.

I am fortunate in that I don’t have to buy gas for my car all that often because I don’t drive a ton, but I’ll have to this week and I am not looking forward to it.

The good news is that it’ll be months/years before it ever gets back down to where it was two months ago 🫠

They don’t tell you they are doing it, for one.

Even though this 4GB is local, the “omnibox” at the top that also uses Gemini shit doesn’t use this 4GB and still goes to the web to determine the slop it wants to provide.

I was doing the latest raid series with some friends this weekend who were catching up with the content, and they didn’t know the fights.

The first battle has new mechanics, and some people died to them. There was one guy who piped up, “This has been out for two years! How are people still dying to [mechanic]???” We beat the boss so it didn’t matter, but several people chimed in to say “hey, there are some new people here; it’s new to them.” Everyone was defending the people who died.

THEN, oh boy, this guy - would you believe it - DIED in the next fight. And the crowd then… oooo did we make fun of that guy.

What I’m getting at is that one guy out of 24 tried to be a bit of a jerk, but then everyone else was like, “No. That’s not this game, bro.” It’s a community. It’s great.

At the end of the raid when we were all waiting on rolls for items, someone disconnected. “Hey, [another player] DC’d. That’s why the rolls are taking long.” Everyone was like, “no worries.” I said, “That’s fine. DC is better than Marvel right now anyway…” and then the group got to talking about movies and super heroes for a couple of minutes while we all waited for this one person to restart the game.

WoW could never.

Finally can register

It only took one year to wreck most of the soft power, too! And they say government isn’t efficient…

I have nothing meaningful to add here about the discussion, but I wanted to say I got an opportunity to cycle around Belgium last year through several towns and the countryside and it was such a great experience. Everyone was nice, and it was a wonderful time. As someone from the USA, I’m envious.

I was scrolling down to find someone list the best game and here were are.

I’ve been playing since beta for 2.0, so it certainly is my most played game.

Hell, I played some over lunch today.

Everyone has their own style, but Bob over here doesn’t change his style every day. Before, my boss had their own style, and if I ended up working on their code I’d try to match that just to keep things consistent. But now it’s all over the place.

AI slop just flops out whatever it feels like at any given time since it’s just cribbing everything from the internet.

One of my bosses has been a little Ai-pilled recently and he also contributes code.

I can tell which parts are his AI slop not from any git blame or anything but because of how it looks. You can see the stylistic differences in a block of code from one file to the next, and also it seems like AI likes to add comments to everything, and he just copy and pastes it all into the file. Those comments are often very different looking, too. So just stylistically everything is all over the place.

Oh yeah, good call.

That’s good to hear about the /kick. The last time I saw someone get kicked was years ago during a Prae run (back when it was still an 8-man) where the person was not actively helping do the activity. They’d just stood around while everyone else did the work. And then they had the audacity to say to US that it was OK because Prae was easy now so they didn’t need his help anyway. While true, you don’t get tomes for free, bro, and after a couple of bosses we kicked him out.

For OP: Yeah, Sprouts designate someone as a newer player so everyone knows they may be seeing or doing some stuff for the first time.
