I don't understand the 11 downvotes... Thank you for sharing, I've wondered about this game for a long time.

IT'S YOUR MOM

It's weird for a supersonic airplane to come back as a free-to-play game but ok

the swiss country is not a monolith. swiss politics caused this offer to be the result of a complicated consensus, not just "ludicrous conditions" emanating from a purely capitalist agent.

op's post was making the point that a lot of specs of the 2024 iphone 16 were already found on the 2021 sony xperia 1 III. I don't really care about either, and you could use a lot of different 2021 android phones as a comparison. I don't even think the comparison is entirely fair, but to ignore the fact that apple is clearly lagging behind android on certain aspects while hiding behind marketing is just misguided. Also, their phones are just overpriced because of price, and the innovation argument is getting old.

It's funny I litterally just finished an episode of Search Engine, the 'new' PJ Vogt podcast, where that's the actual question. It was the May 3rd episode, and they're interviewing a researcher on the topic, etc.

that's not really what hapoened, they boight those weapons knowing the conditions that were attached to it. The swiss political context is complex, it's not a matter of one side vs the other but of consensus between a lot of actors defending various interests. This is why in this case the swiss left has been trying for years to stop swiss exports of weapons of war, while the right and far-right pushed for it.

They bought them knowing of the conditions they came with, which is fair if they now don't want to buy new ones because of this same condition

in 2021

i understand even less when people are saying that when someone does something out of passion it should allow us to consume it for free

"Are we the baddies?"

I'm not going to replay an ontological debate that has been happening in the fields of sociology and psychology for decades with an engineer on the internet, who claims his own rationality a bit too hard. MBTI is considered pseudoscience because of its weakness against proper scientific validation processes, as well as its lack of support among both practitioners, theorists and researchers in the academic circles.

But to be clear, just because knowledge isn't scientific doesn't mean it doesn't have value, there are tons of example like that that we use every day. The main issue I have with MBTI is that it takes the appearance of scientific knowledge, which I find deceitful and thus suspicious.

It's pseudoscience in both cases, saying you're so and so because your personality is INFJ has almost as little value as correlating to being a gemini. Now if you find some sense in those personality types, maybe that contains some lessons.

well you gotta do what you gotta do

reminds me of the improv "Bears gotta get knowledge" on the Dropout show Play It By Ear.

This one.

I have never agreed more with a stranger on a topic so niche

In Switzerland we don't even have Amazon. We can order from one of the neighbourhing countries' Amazon, but they don't always ship here. There are a lot of alternatives though.

The sad thing is I knew at the time, but lack of games and, most of all, the lack of my friends having it, made the dreamcast lose in favour of its contenders.

I thought the Dreamcast earned this title

My bad, I edited my comment.
