  • I mean…

    I haven’t read anything about a console “beating” my deck, I’ve not really kept up with consoles since getting my deck.

    I’m not upset if something sells more than the deck, it’s a different environment, should I be annoyed i-phones are more popular than the deck?

    I don’t think Nintendos success will have any bearing on the next deck, be it design, marketing or release window, if anything the Nintendo coming out right now is great holdover/low market time between the deck and whatever comes next. If anyone was looking to buy new hardware right now it would be apt to compare the two products as the Nintendo would probably have better hardware, even though the product you get is so much different that 9 times out of 10 the honest & correct answer is ‘deck’.

    Whatever is driving this theory/controversy is baiting for your attention. I’d recommend taking it with a grain of salt and focusing on the bigger issues right now (especially if in America)


  • 38, just lost the 12 year old 267k miles car to an idiot my age in a brand new muscle car who was immediately on the phone to Daddy. It was one of the few things of value I had to my name. Was hoping to get 400k out of it. Instead I get a new car payment that I have no idea how I’m going to cover.

    The times are rolling, I’m not sure they’re good.


  • Being able to run a site without donations for years without any incoming donations is a great thing, but years isn’t really that long, and what would happen when that money ran out? There would be a last minute funding push for a company with a proven record of financial malpractice, who would want to donate to it then?

    You’re right that the editors don’t get money, but they do get a reputable unbiased platform that they can share their knowledge on, and for many people that’s more than enough. (Source: Wikipedia, Reddit, Lemmy)















  • Minecraft Creator notch went the same way, as did Dilbert author…

    I’m convinced there’s a cabal of billionaires that either get dirt on people on the rise and corrupt/blackmail them, or eliminate people who are not corruptable before they get too rich/powerful. It doesn’t take much to kill someone, and neuvo riche probably aren’t prepared for the precautions they’d actually need to take.

    That and money corrupts (or so we’re told, seems like it’d make as much sense that people who hoard money corrupt)
