China #1
Best friends with the mods at c/worldnews@lemmy.ml
If you’re reading this, I’m already banned.
They just dropped a very mediocre Metroid title, and Mario Kart was middling at best, so they are down two franchises this generation already. If they make another clone of BotW then they are gonna be down a third, and they’ll have to make it up with Mario, but Donkey Kong didn’t inspire hope on that front, so I’m not sure what I have to look forward to…
Oh. Pokemon… Well, I’m not holding out hope there either after Scarlet/Violet.
Well, damn. I didn’t know that. Oh, bother.
Zelda and Mario are first party, so I get that, but Xenoblade kills me. I need a rerelease of Xenogears, Xenosaga, and Xenoblade on PC.
Wasn’t this already on the first Switch? How did you fuck this up? It was already done.
Honestly, I’m kinda over the Switch 2 at this point. All of the games that have come out for it look empty and soulless, and there hasn’t been anything to make me truly want to spend $500 on another piece of kit. They’ve had long enough to put out some quality, and the promise of “$80 for a game ensures we can continue to deliver quality” is just the corporate bullshit we all knew it was. This is the WiiU all over again.
He was about 20 years old at the time, a rock star signed to a label, and a hardcore drug addict. I’m not excusing the behavior, but I’m not sure what anyone was expecting. I think you’d be hard pressed to find someone in this time period in his situation that wasn’t a massive piece of shit.
Edit: Some real libertarians up in this thread…
I think it’s sado-socio-sexual. Just raw repression from an early age.
I was just about to say that I usually trust Russ will all my retro gaming handhelds, but I’ll gladly take a second opinion. Glad to see that you follow him as well and aren’t afraid to put your own thoughts out there. Nice work!
that in no way warrants a summary execution
That’s really it. It’s escalated to the point of a war crime. This is drug trafficking, not flying planes into buildings. Can drugs trafficked across a border be dangerous? Yes. Are they being trafficked because we decided that it would be better to addict the populace and then throw them in jail for modern day slavery? Also yes. Trump, Hegseth, and his ilk are creating the crimes they kill for. All under “novel interpretation of the law.” When the vapid blondes they surround themselves with aren’t helping, they’ve found another way to get their tiny cocks hard again, and it’s the same way that every Republican has, killing brown people.
Not only that, but charging full price for a game and then charging $15-20 for cosmetic DLC is fucking wild. If I’ve paid you $60+ for a title, I expect the full experience. If you want to add some shit a year down the line to lengthen the life, I’m on board, but day one DLC that costs more than the base game was played out the moment Bethesda graced us with horse armor. I’ve gotten more joy out of Vampire Survivors than I have out of any Ubisoft and EA games in the last 20 years combined.
Good ol’ Bobby B.
Its the same model as payday loans. It’s predatory lending plain and simple.
Firstly, if someone on their own has a seizure or an accident with no-one with them “in a late night busy bar environment, it’s an absolute nightmare for us to deal with”.
I’ve been working in a fairly busy bar now for over a decade. The amount of times this has happened is actually none.
He said also “sometimes if you let people in on their own, the reason why they’re on their own is that they’ve got no-one to talk to, so they start mithering other groups”.
That’s… the fucking point of a bar, you twat. You go to meet people. Have your bar staff trained properly to identify problems and cut off patrons before things get out of hand, otherwise fuck off with your meddling.
I’ve dealt with an owner like this at my last job. One incident and suddenly we are doing an overhaul of every policy and changing the menu. It’s like they are looking for things to fuck up. I’m pretty sure mine was because all his kids had moved out and he was looking to exert control over something. I don’t know what this guy’s excuse is.
I can see them all, so maybe it’s a federation issue?
I had these. They were pretty gnarly. There are two other flavors, maggot cheese and puffer fish I think. None of them made me think I was missing out by not eating the real thing.
But he’ll cut a $2000 check if he gets to be the one to sign it.
“Finally! I can afford craft supplies!”
“Hey, we’re short staffed, you want a job? We’ll give you a gun…”
Be more ghostlike, you say? I’m sure we can find some people that are willing to facilitate.
I hope the hill I die on is boobie shaped.
I liked it the first two times. I don’t need a third.
