Yes. I was a huge purchaser of both Steam games and Nintendo exclusives on Switch (as long as they got great reviews).

Then Nintendo's legal team went crazy, attacking emulator developers and suing competing game studios over bullshit "patents" on game mechanics.

So it's time to starve that beast. No more Nintendo games, for me.

Btw, Zelda on PC when?

Any time you want, if you float in the right ~~seas~~...uh...circles. Or so I've heard.

Yes. Nintendo's lawsuit was what made me decide to buy Palworld. Fuck Nintendo's lawyers.

Misleading title (not yours, the article, itself).

Omitting the word "minors" from the title makes a world of difference.

Many of us can argue all day about where the line should be between freedom and safety for mature adults, while agreeing that minors (and other vulnerable people) deserve extra protection.

Edit: Also to echo the earlier comment *where dafuq are these parents?" Haha.

That security guard should be ashamed!

(edit: Yes, and arrested for assault!)

Ever since the piracy communty went crazy with account sign in restrictions, price increases, wild swings in available shows, it has been hard for it to compete with Netflix.

Wait... maybe I've got that backwards. Nah. That's silly. I'm sure they're just unrelated.

About fucking time.

Citizen's United (and similar corruption) took away our ability to regulate tech billionaires, but we still out number them.

If they want to stop being scared, they can curb their parasitic behaviors and return the billions they have extracted.

Edit: Getting off of the list of the world's billionaires is a path filled with fancy meals, accolades, ribbon cutting ceremonies, and thank-you letters from happier children.

Billionaires have a moral obligation to a cushy job (become non-billionares), and they aren't doing it, today.

Anytime I want to listen to some ASMR, now, of course.

We are kind of on our way.

Half the time when I look up how to repair my dishwasher, the best video guide turns out to also be an intentional ASMR video to maximize attention.

(Okay, not really half, but that it happens at all is hilarious.)

Microsoft has yet to explain how or why the lapse occurred.

Highly skilled technical staff are expensive, and it turns out that some people still use Windows when Microsoft doesn't hire the talent necessary to keep Windows working.

Edit: Also, bribes from three letter government agencies are probably pretty nice.
