I'm imagining like a "Bop it" scenario where your action has to correspond to the sign's intention (extra mental hurdle you have to perform). You could increase the speed for difficulty or start throwing in additional road signs from around the world you would have to learn the meaning of.

Man you kinda just suck at this and have completely proven my point. You don't round bills down.... have you done a budget before like a big boy? I can't even take you seriously when you dance around some numbers bullshit lol. You're paying for a monthly service to play a free emulator, justify it all you want.

I never replied to you, @samus12345@lemm.ee is who I replied too. You've decided to jump in and talk about BOTW lol

I literally linked you the exact program for the nintendo switch emulator, which you've paid hundreds of dollars for the "portability" of taking an emulator off a desktop (congrats! I don't think it's ever been done before....oh wait). The glitch shit just is false dichotomy that you're stretching for.

Funny you mentioned Netflix but unironically used it as a positive example?!?! Even though it's enshittification and current state promotes piracy?!?! hahaha and then just completely blow over the fact that yes...the first game was just removed a few days ago, and the version before literally lost a bunch of great games (do you really not get the message? You don't own the game, they are not required to keep letting you play it)

It's obvious you're a happy-mindless consumer, everything you've said points more negative light on exactly why I wouldn't pay for the service. You don't think Nintendo is a good company, you think they're greedy and aggressive, yet you're completely ok with doing business with them. I think it's a shit company with a shit service and you're getting ripped off in more ways than one (financially,morally,technologically,socially).

If you're actually serious about being a real consumer, put your money towards actual companies and developers you can feel good about. Here's some examples listed, the best part is they're not going to keep showing up every month to collect money from you! I guarantee you, your family would remember an awesome product from one of those companies 10x more than just playing a dumb ol' switch like every pleb. Really just trying to give them the most basic corporate experience in life eh?

edit: you're-your

Good lord, you're actually gonna come down and try to defend your actions like some kind of corporate propagandist. Fucking sad really how you've got it all twisted. SOMEONE IS PAYING FOR THE SERVICE! I don't care how many people are listed and aren't using it, YOU'RE STILL PAYING FOR A YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION FOR A FUCKING ONLINE EMULATOR. Where the fuck was a lie made? Care to misrepresent some more shit?

It's 4.17 not 5? I should take that as my first clue you're not serious. People round up to 5 for meals all the time, this is such a strange thing to start on.

Nintendo confirms Switch Online retro game removal in US and Europe

Responding to the news on X, former PlatinumGames co-founder and current Clovers Studio founder Hideki Kamiya – who regularly posts about his love of classic games – criticised the move, asking for the return of the Virtual Console service, which was available on Wii, Wii U and 3DS and allowed individual games to be bought.

“Hey hey hey, I guess subscriptions are no good after all,” Kamiya wrote. “Seriously, bring back the Virtual Console… don’t be so mean.”

It should also be noted that numerous retro games were delisted from Virtual Console over the years too, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Yoshi’s Cookie, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, Aleste, SimCity, Street Fighter II, Final Fight 1-3, Super Turrican 2 and Super R-Type.

for 1-6, you're paying a rental subscription service to play an emulator... just type emulator into a search engine, go to one of the hundreds of sites. Hell, go to archive.org and get the official nintendo online emulator pack.

Here's your mariokart, here's your banjo.

Guess what?!?! I'm not gonna charge you a fucking penny and I'm not gonna log onto your device and remove your data!! You're welcome!!

(don't know what the fuck you're talking about BOTW for, it was an example that nintendo is making shittier products and can't be relied upon anymore if their flagship game can't even run properly on the console, keep making an ass of yourself though)

cough amiibo cough

seriously though, Nintendo knows what they're doing with their new limited scarcity tactics with trying to stay relevant. I think you'll be able to find physical SNES games easier than switch 2 games in 30 years.

person just unironically said they pay nintendo 5 bucks a month for the privilege to play a curated list of 40 year old games you can quite literally find anywhere online. That's 60$ a year to access an emulator they probably have less than 10 hours of playtime on. There's just really no justification for Nintendo anymore, BOTW broke me and I had to be talked into it.

See, that whole entire thought process just doesn't hold me prisoner anymore like it used to.

If you want the capital to survive (buying a car is survival in most places) or to try and get ahead, you must pay more capital than you have. If the banks don't make money this way, the poor and middle class will fail.

I don't think this is true economical theory anymore. It's corrupted greed that's overtaken institutionally in every facet of life including academia. It's like saying nuclear war is the best peace keeping practice.

lol and I wonder why you had the idea and were inspired to play up the idea of "countries that start with R" after you just read two other comments doing the same thing.

well the spoiler text really was just because I wanted to talk about Mbaye Diagne and you just have to hover over the links to get the joke. But I get it, different levels of humor appeal to different people. A lot easier to digest when it's all just spelled out for ya and you don't have to think any harder about it.

😒 , at least like put any effort forth if you're going to steal a joke and make it shittier.

I'm so sick of the bullshit misinformation that gets upvoted on this site. First, you demand tariffs on what equals to roughly 0.8% of our total imports. Second, there is no "war" currently going on between "R" and "U". Also, I thought the "P" man ended the genocide against "R" citizens by taking power, I'm not a scholar though so link away with whatever truth burger you're trying to peddle.

what if the bull is already at 100%?

If it makes you feel any better I'm lost as well since the points they made in their attempted speech is just incorrect.

From 2000 through 2008, majorities ranging from 54% to 69% believed the federal government should ensure universal coverage in the U.S. (link)

The rest is bizarre word ramblings, "he achieved something that nobody thought possible", "his legacy will be dismantled".

It's kinda interesting, like he's specifically blaming you for hurting Obama's reputation and the country at large... Not that people in charge should be held accountable or have some sort of standard for what they campaign for. I'm happy for the people who benefited from ACA, but plenty people still don't and I imagine a lot of people don't realize you are fined if you're uninsured because of the act. Reminds me of being penalized for being homeless.

In other words, unless the insurance premiums exceed 8 percent of your income, you're a religious objector, a taxpayer with income below the tax-filing threshold, or a member of an Indian tribe, you're required to have insurance. That is, unless you'd rather pay the penalty, which is enforced through the tax code system.

It's that same fucking shtick with the whole student loan debacle. Keep the current profit generating system in place and pass laws and subsidies to help prop it up and stay as lucrative as possible. Any actual awareness or targeting of the greed is completely swept under the rug, so it's hard for me to get excited about this one step forward-two steps back bullshit. Especially when there's already so many perfectly acceptable examples around the world to learn and develop functional systems from.

I'll always be bitter and upset when I see people snarking on Dodge, they fully deserve it but I just love their body styles and designs compared to most modern cars. The dodge caliber is the only wagon I've ever seen that made me drool and even though it's out of production I'm still considering purchasing one to this day for work equipment hauling.

It's just hyperbolic masculine capitalism being parroted. Live in the U.S. south and have dealt with many friends and their relatives who have said the same shit. I've been around long enough to see those same people completely fall apart when the lives at home just crumble because they're too busy with work (illness, deaths in family, etc). They always eventually come to regret the decisions and times they've missed once they get in their later years.

There's nothing wrong with choosing to prioritize a work career in one's life though, but hating on someone else's choice is just ridiculous.

the irony of posting an amazon link...

lol we're getting into oxymoron territory with your use of "long and precise". Again, you aren't defining fascism and getting on multiple people about being wrong. It's rather comedic at this point and you keep pointing to a 20minute video for a "definition". You're disputing terms while declaring someone needs to watch a whole video series instead of.... defining or saying what constitutes fascism.

If you can't clearly state for everyone wtf you're talking about specifically, I doubt the video helped at all and you're just tripling down on trying to be snooty.

Ty, wasn't trying to dispute correctness, just they never actually defined or tried to give a clear explanation (besides a 20min video not everyone is going to watch). As we've seen it's a simple definition but even the video points out it's more complicated because of how people are using it, highlighting just how important it is to make direct and concise declarations of what we're talking about so there is no confusion.
