Most remote design is honestly atrocious. Somehow they keep hiding “source” in random spots, when it should be one of the most important buttons. The obscure pictograms are all over the place, and most buttons will never be used by anyone.

I backed a kickstarter a while ago for a grip that let me hold my switch vertically, by attaching the joycons to the side. Used it for Ikaruga and a few other things (like pinballs).
Obviously vertical mode must be supported by the software, but it was a cool little thing. Maybe I’ll try to find something like this for the switch 2.
You can if it’s pointy. If it’s not edgy you can’t do slashy-slashies though, and that’s definitely a shame.
That tracks, it’s like a reverse Kessel Run.
I have those too.
Those are not the game I spent the most on though, they’re the bundle extras, the games I’ve found dirt cheap and thought “yeah, I might play that sometimes”… And I am trying to limit those, I had a phase like that but I don’t care much about the bundles/big sales craze anymore.
Video games are not that expensive IMO, unless you really want it to be. It’s my main hobby, I certainly don’t have a crazy income, but I still have enough games for several lifetimes. My bank account is not the limit here, my time is.
Sure, hardware cost might be a bit steep once in a while, but you don’t really need to go for the cutting edge, and there is no point having everything on release either.


Most of EA’s creativity is spent trying to find new definitions to gambling so they can keep make gambling games without being regulated.

Regarding how quickly Instagram started sending them personal stuff… Letting an app access your location, especially if it’s not a one-time authorisation, is basically telling it who you are.
There was a newspaper investigation recently on data brokers, they approached one to get a sample of their data. It was “anonymous” data, only in the sense it didn’t contain names. Using Apple’s advertiser ID, they had no problem building profiles from specific devices and could easily identify a lot of their own employees, simply because their routine around a location made it clear it was their workplace. And from there, it was not hard to find out on the data what their home address was.
It probably took only location for the burner phone Instagram to know that this is either the same person, or someone closely related to them.


“Gross misconduct, and no other reason”… from 30 people at once? And they’re not going to elaborate on what the “misconduct” was?
Maybe we’re supposed to believe the fact they were all part of the same discussion to unionize was a coincidence, too?


Depends. Some of them don’t even believe in viruses at all.


That makes sense. To pokéworld humans, real eggs are just the ovoid shit pokémon use as a weapon or carry around for absolutely no discernable reason. Thus, the capsules they use to deliver new pokémon when they reproduce are “fake eggs”.


The most disturbing part IMO is that they often insist they’re not “real” eggs and nobody really knows how it works.
Now consider that apart from a slip here or there in early material, most pokémon canon assumes there are no non-pokémon animals in this universe. How the hell do they know what a “real egg” is?


Not sure, but I understood that comment to mean “it would be worth getting angry against YouTube if the videos they removed were about rufus”, not that rufus itself is wrong.
I am not in that age group anymore and I can’t tell what war I was supposed to be obsessed with.
Ah, yeah, around that time, maybe Fire Emblem. This is the “Crimean war” I used to be obsessed with, until…
Fuck. I think I found the actual war. Definitely not something I’m enjoying, at all.
Imaginary numbers are a perfect example of that. It’s basically just “Okay, in the common number theory, you can’t get the square root of a negative number. What if you could?”. And what do you know, you can build a consistent theory where square root of -1 exists, and it has surprising properties.
Intuitively, good luck trying to make sense of it. But it doesn’t matter, it works, and it’s useful to build other stuff. That in turn can be used as modelling tools in physics and all.
The comparison doesn’t work. Maths are abstract, you don’t “believe” in it. You build a consistent theory with minimum assumptions (axioms) and if something stops being consistent, it means some of your assumptions don’t work and you need to change them to build a better theory. Maths is an abstract tool, not a representation of reality.
Infinity is just a concept you can define. There are tools to demonstrate something is true over an infinite space and obviously, you need those for a lot of basic maths. You’re not going to go anywhere in basic arithmetic or geometry if you can’t prove anything works over the infinite set of numbers or the infinite space.


I love that game, but if you are not enjoying it at that point I am not sure I can see it getting better for you for the rest of it.
Though if you just beat Orochi, that’s more like a quarter of the game if memory serves. Ōkami is quite longer than your classic Legend of Zelda game, I’d say for me it took a bit more than twice as long to complete the first time compared to, say, Twilight Princess.
Its story is more like a series of legends rather than a unified storyline, which didn’t bother me since it fits the mythology theme.
My parent’s TV is absolutely terrible, and the source menu is a big part of it.
It doesn’t show sources that have not sent any input since the TV was turned on. So when trying to get the Switch on it, I’d need to start the console first, then push the source button… and the menu is so slow to appear that the Switch has gone back to sleep mode before I can reach it…
