If I’m following the logic from the other guy, I think that it would be “Microsoft ecosystem”, not “XBox ecosystem”, since they’re removing the specific platform, and adding the company. Which I think works.

It sounds to me like you are talking about what Steam is doing, with the geolocking and refunds (not fraud), while the other person is talking about what Sony is doing, with adding PSN requirements after the fact (maybe fraud?).

I’ve been thinking it’s just a rebranding of the idea of karma, which is old as dirt. “The Law of Attraction” is just the way I’ve seen it discussed online in its most recent manifestation (pun intended)

To all the people downvoting: “Law of Attraction” is not a lay person’s way of saying “Law of Gravity”.

It’s the belief online that “if I give off good vibes, good vibes will be attracted back to me. You know, because everything is, like, made up of vibrating strings, and stuff” (that last bit is just the connection to String theory OP mentioned)

OP is not endorsing these beliefs, just observing them.

Ah, I didn’t realize it was your own post. Extra thanks for sharing then. I imagine it could be rather nerve-wracking.

Honestly, not sure if I find this wholesome so much as a little sad. But not sad in a tearful way, or in a “aw, poor thing” way. More… The way a rainy day can be sad? Or how nostalgia feels, even though they’re not being nostalgic? It feels very raw, regardless, maybe even a little invasive, like getting a short glimpse into a person’s soul, and a person who has not had an easy life, at that… I’m glad I read it though, so thanks for sharing

We’d probably end up with a situation where wild deer don’t have the gene and city deer do, excepting any cross-breeding.

Ah, missed that. Yeah, I see where you’re coming from.

I feel a little bad for such a short response, but fair enough. Good points all around.

Sorry, American here. Did WW3 start and I missed it? Is it Ukraine/Russia? Israel/Palestine? Horrible though they are, they seem pretty contained this far, unless something new happened I haven’t seen anything about.

In the context of the article, they’re talking about the fact that news outlets aren’t getting enough ad revenue to sustain themselves, and people don’t really buy classifieds in papers anymore.

For a minute I mixed up Gary Bowser and Doug Bowser, and was left wondering what beef the president of Nintendo of America could have with Nintendo as a whole :P

Napoleon wears a bicorn hat. Pirates wear tricorns. Dunces wear unicorns.

I think you’re right, but also I think OP was more thinking mass shooters, or maybe serial killers.

Oh, shoot. House House were the people behind Untitled Goose Game? Suddenly I’m a little more interested in this, honestly

At some point Japanese video game titles just start to feel like the Asian equivalent of all those Chinese tattoos that white people get that just say something like “Hot Waterfall Oven”…

In Unix shell scripts 1 is false, so there’s that

Update: Just tried with my Nintendo Switch Pro controller. It works, so the support is there, but it was a little janky. Button mapping didn’t show the button names, just “?”, but an Xbox or Playstation controller may work better. Movement was also janky, but that’s probably because I was using Bluetooth.

No idea. I’ve never used a controller on mobile for anything, sorry :(

Honestly, I’ve been enjoying playing Dead Cells. I’ll probably also play Hades when it gets here.
