Well at least one spoke out.

Yay.

I was stoll using the first wireless one as a BT controller to play switch games last year. The battery gave out imo, otherwise zero issues.

If there’s any smart university women wanting to leave, my city apparently has a decent university. Wink wink.

“We told them this self-driving software isn’t for self driving, you can’t blame us” is a bit like q-tips. There’s an explicit warning on the packaging to not put them in your ear canal. But like what else do people buy them for?

Idk man.

29 years ago this came out.

The traditional controller for PS1 didn’t have joysticks. You needed a DualShock for that, or it’s predecessor the Dual Analog controller.

But yeah year or two here there, the DualShocks and PS controllers after that were very good controllers.

But those first decent ones came out more like at the turn of the millennium than halfway through the 90’s as you imply.

Back then it ps1 without joysticks and from 96 on N64 with extremely shitty joysticks. Gamecube came out in 2001 and Nintendo had clearly learned it’s lesson — to an extent.

and calling a police officer a “fascist”

No, Germany, bad Germany. You’ve done this twice already, haven’t you fucking learned?

Play time hours not loyalty.

Loyalty, passion, interest, call it whatever you will.

Those that play for a living

Oh that was a serious point you were making? Even with every cat and his nephew being a streamer, there’s still not that many people playing or streaming professionally for that to actually affect the market. That’s ridiculous.

Also, Switch games, aside from like Zeldas, are like the least played/streamed games there are, so that’s really not a valid excuse. It might be a valid excuse if we were talking about Steam games and Nvidia GPU’s, because there’s so many players and so little stock, but Nintendo made it a point to have enough stock and Switch streamers aren’t really that much of a thing.

So it definitely rewards people actually use their Switches, instead of people who were born with a gold spoon up their arse. And you have zero points against that except "I’m rich and I dislike it because it means someone else might get something before me and I’m not used to that because (my daddy’s money means) I’m rich

edit “you’ve decided who I am” no, I’ve assumed as much, and I don’t hear you saying different

You haven’t made a point about why rewarding loyalty is bad, or why your demanding that people be priced out of buying the thing isn’t wrong.

But hey, maybe I missed it. Do explain it to me, and try to make it so simple that an idiot like me can understand it, because from where I’m standing from, you seem like a whiny rich kid who hasn’t played their Switch and is now afraid they won’t get the newest toy when it comes out.

You’re getting offended, because I’m asking you to stand behind what you literally posted about?

Kinda weird, man.

You’re saying they should price it higher to make it about “who has the means”. That is literally the purest capitalism. Nintendo is choosing an alternate priority.

Guess you’re mad at me for showing you what your values are, huh?

You were just saying you think money should matter more than playhours.

That is very much one of the implications. You not having thought of that is not my problem.

Make your point then, please.

that’s a very core principle of our system.

Something being as it is doesn’t mean it ought to be that way.

You would prefer that a rich asshole with all the money in the world who has 7 switches in different colours and sizes and all the gears with them but never plays them, just has them because he wants to let people know he has them should have more of a chance of getting a new Switch 2 than, say, a teenage loner kid who’s only comfort from bullying has been a Switch he’s been playing religiously for the past few years and has just managed to save up for a new Switch 2 and is super excited for it coming out?

Because I would definitely say the latter should be prioritised. And that is what Nintendo is doing, and your take makes zero sense. “But why won’t anyone think of the scalpers?!”

So you mean they should just prioritise rich people instead of passionate people?

They can’t know how much free time people have, but it’s a fair assumption that more time using the Switch means you’re more interested in playing it.

They’re rewarding loyalty. But you think they should reward… having money?

Specifically aiming at people with free time?

Entertainment systems company marketing to people with free time?

Those bastards.

Putin proof

Probably referring to SMS protocol, 160 7-bit characters.

In a few years the newer phones automatically started just telling you how many messages long your message was.

You’d end up shortening things sort of like a telegram.noSpacesSomeTimesToSaveChars etc. but it’s own style. txting it was called, because “txtMe” is a lot shorter than “text me back, please”.

And they weren’t free so you’d pay by the SMS.

And when you were txting your crush and heard the Nokia sms… and then another, you’d know there was a longer message. Or having a row with them, in which case it wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

And sometimes you’d run out of room on your phone (because the memory only supported like 48 messaged or smth), you’d get a message, start reading it, then it’d say “cont”, but your message memory full icon is flashing (same as got a message, but flashing instead of just the letter icon).

Idk what the argument is but that’s what “original text message” means to me.

dog like a Cane Corso or Kangal can take on a bear 1v1.

In Silverfang maybe, but not in real life.

I believe, internationally, lots of places which have saunas also have pools or even cold pools. I imagine. Like high class gyms or smth.

But I’ve heard several stories of Finns being abroad and going to a sauna and being prevented from tossing water on the stones (löyly = it’s sort of the water and the heat that results from throwing it, roughly how you’d use “gas” in relation to cars, more gas can mean more petrol or pressing on the gas pedal harder, that sort of word), and the employees saying “you can’t do thaw to it’ll break the stove” because they don’t understand how saunas work.

And to do this to the best effect you need a proper löyly to the point you pour cold water from the löyly bucket on top of your head to bear it for a while longer for all the muscles to really warm up. And then for maximum shock quick jump to cold water, or sometimes just a snowbank. That’s common as well. Hurts like bitch though if you do it with the wrong kind of snow, like jumping on a bed of freezing razors. (The top of snow that was quite soft earlier had frozen and I didn’t see it in the dark and jumped into the bank and there was like a half an inch of raspy ice on top before I broke through to the softer snow. Or I just didn’t care being either so young as not to or so drunk as not to. Probably both.)

And if you’re gonna throw a strong löyly, or even löyly at all in a public sauna, it’s proper etiquette to ask for consent from everyone. Although now that I wrote that I have a feeling asking for consent in some non-Finnish public saunas may have a different meaning, as far as I’ve understood from popular media.

Finland is pretty fking racist.

Using the n-word won’t get you into trouble as easily as calling someone out for using it. Has been my experience, at least.

Once an old lady I was driving home from the shops (as a taxi driver) genuinely got furious at me for just refusing to use the word (she was complaining about immigrant taxi drivers, ie my then colleagues). I didn’t even criticise her use directly, I just said I won’t use such language because I think it’s racist and dehumanising and she got mad and started yelling how “you call them what they are!”. Her husband was in the car as well. Just stayed silent.

So whole economically were pretty lefties especially compared to the US, politically less so.

I would love to move and live somewhere else for a few years but can’t afford it rn.

Well one can only hope.

I don’t have much faith.

Thanks for the info.

I see you’re a man of culture as well.
