If you enjoy playing your switch online for whatever reason, I don’t recommend jailbreaking. Mine spends all time in airplane mode and only a game or two complain they want to connect to the internet, but I ignore

Huh, even checking with 12ft.io and archive.org don’t show more than the first paragraph. Seems to be an “ad” for the printed magazine?

Well, look at mr moneybags flaunting his shiny lorica segmentata

If Brutus ain’t around, we can count on Luigi

I only beat it at ~10yo because I knew how to read walkthroughs, which is what finally led me to enter Saffron. At no point I thought that one of the purchasable drinks from a vending machine could be used to “bribe” the guard on the entrance, I always thought it was some special item somewhere (which became the case in the FR/LG remakes) or some other event.

How else are the owners supposed to compensate for their 2cm dicks?

Sounds like you should try TV to keep up with news

You should try Legal Eagle. I hear he’s great with legal woes stemming from digging holes that have nothing to do with the bodies that might be inside

Eagerly waiting for my robot catgirl maid to arrive!

It was a table height fall, roughly 1 meter, not enough for that to happen.

I didn’t say Youtube doesn’t make money, I said it’s not profitable, that is, the service alone does not generate enough money to pay for its own existence. If this HackerNews thread is to be believed, it’s unlikely even google execs know whether the thing is actually profitable or not (it did generate 50B USD in revenue in 2023-24, which is obviously a lot, but only 11B more than Netflix (39B) despite serving a much, much wider audience)

Youtube exists in a situation very similar to that of Twitter pre acquisition. It’s a money drain, but it’s extremely useful to control and own. Elon Musk saw that he could buy Twitter, he bought it, ruined its value, but we’re seeing that he didn’t buy “the company”, he bought a significant portion of people’s mindshare, so to speak. When Google bought YT in 2006, they saw the writing on the wall, that high speed internet would lead to more people watching videos, which turned true, and they also used their power to fully consolidate Youtube as the place to watch free videos online. Facebook likely played a bigger hand in destroying any possible competition than Google, but that’s a different story.

Hey now, I said no meaningful work, not evil bullshit

I remember that the dev of Legend of Grimrock added an option for movement with the mouse because a disabled gamer wanted to play. Maybe that second friend should check that and the 2nd game out.

Using a mouse with your non dominant hand is annoying…

Yeah, for PC they’ll probably have to grit their teeth and power through the discomfort. An alternative is getting a hand in some old emulated games. Anything from the NES era can be mapped to 4 movements + 4 buttons (start, select, A, B), which on a keyboard could be WASD + Q, E, R and F. Dunno how to set something similar on a Deck.

Bedsheets do not in fact make an adequate parachute for a second story jump, btw.

Learned second hand that umbrellas also don’t work well as parachutes. My cousin was the first hand victim experimenter

My favorite male fantasy that games allow me to realize is that of becoming a successful man despite not executing any meaningful work.

What’s the problem with burgers done on an electric grill? Or was his grill specifically a piece of shit?

OOP should try the Mega Drive (Genesis) ROM of Pier Solar, then. Couldn’t “look fake” even if it tried

It also plays a central role in the Coconut Religion founded in 1963 in Vietnam.

follows the Coconut Religion link

The Coconut Religion was founded in 1963 by Vietnamese mystic and scholar Nguyễn Thành Nam,[1] also known as the Coconut Monk,[2][3] His Coconutship,[4] Prophet of Concord,[4] and Uncle Hai[4] (1909 – 1990[5]).

Oh, come the fuck on, now

YouTube is not profitable, that is the number one problem. The infrastructure to keep it running costs billions per year, mainly in storage and bandwidth. Offering a better service won’t bring money for two reasons:

1 - they don’t have competition 2 - more people coming to YouTube will increase costs

Steam’s running cost is nowhere near the cost of YouTube, plus it has several methods of generating income, unlike a “free video streaming platform”
