Every land is stolen. The problem is that they’re in the middle of committing genocide.

It’s happening, but for Hollywood.

For purely nostalgic reasons I have difficulty agreeing but honestly yeah. Some of the best puzzles I’ve ever had the pleasure of solving.

First party titles are basically the only reason to buy ANY Nintendo console. However there are alternatives. For example if you don’t have a Nintendo console but want to (legally) play a 3D Zelda game, just play one of the Batman Arkham games as it’s basically the same core gameplay loop. For a 2D Zelda game play Tunic.

“Wide assortment” would be my guess.

They’re not competing for the same slice of the pie, though. Microsoft isn’t trying to take Nintendo’s customers because Nintendo’s customers want very specific things that Microsoft isn’t really offering. For example, Nintendo caters extensively to parents who want a safe space for their kids to play online. The Switch doesn’t even SUPPORT voice chat without the aid of a separate smartphone. Xbox Live is notoriously the opposite of that, because they focus on teens and young adults, who Sony are also targeting. Basically Nintendo sells to a very specific market, and the other platforms sell to “everybody else”.

By contrast, in the 90s Sega was SPECIFICALLY trying to steal customers from Nintendo.

Nintendo aren’t in the console war anymore and have’t been since the gamecube. Nintendo consoles sell on the strength of Nintendo’s first party titles, of which they have many. Nobody else can use their IPs, so that’s their USP and as a result they don’t need to compete with anyone on graphical capability or processing power. It’s its own market.

If he’s higher up than me and my job is at risk and I need the job, wouldn’t mouthing off be a bad idea?

What’s my motivation? Is there a reason why I’m listening to Alec Baldwin brag about his watch? What’s stopping me from simply walking away?

Well it is, in the sense that rather than you becoming slightly better at things, everybody else becomes much worse, thereby you are still above average even though you have gotten worse.

Well, yes. It’s no use just paying and not actually downloading it, for obvious reasons but also for the reasons I assume you mean, whereby once you have the files you’re no longer reliant on GOG to keep them available.

Just buy your games on GOG. No DRM

I assume that’s a reference to the intro screen to Mario 64 where you can pull and deform Mario’d face.

I can’t understand the filing. Did Llama not pay James Earl Jones’s estate?

What about punching people you work with? When is that acceptable?

Can I ask - what’s this about the filming conditions for Terminator Salvation requiring specific timing and being dangerous? This is the first I’ve heard of that.

I’ve not submitted my DNA to any genealogy sites for testing, but what annoys me about all this is that in order to get as much info about my family tree as possible (for posterity and confirming theorized connections) I SHOULD be testing my parents’s DNA because the oldest family members are the best for connecting to distant relatives, and my parents aren’t gonna live forever. But I can’t get them (or myself) tested, because of considerations like this. This shouldn’t have to be a consideration. But it is, because of greedy bastards and the gombeen politicians who allow stuff like this to be legal.
