Holy shit! I take it these lawyers have never seen the Nintendo store. Talk about insane pricing. $60-$70 for a game that was ported from a previous generation console with absolutely zero changes?

$10-$20 for a Switch 2 upgrade to play the game made for the hardware that you purchased? At least Sony gives most of these upgrades for free.

As bad as you might think Sony is, Nintendo is way worse.

What about donkey brains?

Except for games that use kernel level anti-cheat.

I guess I’m no longer ever going to play a video game that runs on Windows. At some point game developers need to realize that Linux is the future of gaming if Windows keeps pulling this shit.

I recently got Permabanned from Reddit because I reshared the Alex Pretti video back when that was happening. They also banned every other account for every person in my household because of their fingerprinting service going overboard.

Fuck Reddit.

Not the Dell one, not worth your time or money - only has Intel N-series processor. But the ASUS one may have better internals.

And take even longer to launch than it already does. No thanks. A text editor should be a simple text editor. If I wanted anything more complex, I’d use LaTeX.

Personally, I restore the classic Paint, Notepad and Snipping Tool from Windows 10 on my Windows 11 machines because they launch instantly and don’t have AI slop baked into them. You can uninstall the “new” versions of these apps that come with Windows 11 or leave them and have both. I personally uninstall them.

I even set up these “classic” apps to be my defaults where the “new” versions were before. Everything works perfectly.

For those interested, I wrote a guide on how to do this manually yourself: https://pastebin.com/1WAs38AP

I crave Giardiniera all the damn time. At night I eat a bunch of it with a couple of beers, but I think about eating it all day long.
