I will admit: I’m in this picture.

Game developers have to eat, too, so a (!) price hike at some point was expected, the price for AAA games was set to 60$ before smart phones existed. They only stayed at 60 so long because gaming got much more popular in that time, driving sales. IF (!) this increase would allow developers to pay their employees more and eliminated the crunch culture, I’d have no problem with it.

But we know this is just corporate greed. Pay extra to own your game physically, pay extra to play your old games, join our subscription program. Oh, you’re in Europe and your wages kept up with inflation? Forget the 33%, you can afford a 50% price increase instead.

With the Japanese-only model being the singular exception, you’d think the direct was lead by 3 new faces just so Nintendo could put the blame on them when the thing doesn’t sell well due to the price.

Oh, and Skull and Bones was dog shit, of course everyone hated it’s ludicrous price point.

Me misspelling salaries.

“Big small”, was that one rapper, right? Didn’t know he pushed minimalism on us, then again, he did sing “mo money mo problems”.

I personally designed and 3D printed a case to hold 4 rechargeable batteries, so I could charge them with 5 Volts from a USB cable, instead of buying a new charger.

Fun Fact: this ruins the batteries. Gave up on designing myself and downloaded a design for a battery-adapter (plastic shell + 1 screw that makes small battery fit in big devices). My stockpile of small batteries then lasted me 2 months before I finally bought a charger and new rechargeables.

“We take the high road” mfers when the low road people go after his son:

We were young and easily fooled, my homie ate bull testicles to get more T and girl was chuggin’ milk because Estrogen wasn’t available otherwise. Did this every week or so, and look where we are now with our syringes, 100% entry drugs.

What?

My main point was that I don’t think this guy deserves 5 years in jail or a permanent travel ban, what other commenter here have stated they want for him. He deserves what he got until now, yes, and what the court will likely order: a fine, no jail time, because this offence is minor.

Why do you then go on a tirade? Is even mentioning the Emperor cult in the context of a Meji shrine racist, or what triggered that response?

I appreciate you at least phrasing that tirade with “you sound like”, but then you drop that and say that I objectively am misinformed and have a hate boner. Why even quantify the first part with subjectivity if you won’t keep it up? Also, I need a few more reasons why you would write this.

A strange response all around.

I would never generalize a religion that much, especially when I don’t know anyone who does practice it or has to live under it. When all you have is how it is represented, you tend to idolize it and miss the practical aspects of the faith, like how hating gays and abortions isn’t explicitly in the bible yet those are more important aspects to Christianity in practice than Sola Fide.

I learned my lesson after reading about Buddhism in Myanmar, if you say it’s just about respect and balance, I don’t believe you.

Do we really need people to look down on that much that it warrants these comments? Don’t get me wrong, he is a jerk and behaves like a teenager while 65, but people here act like he jumped a barrier to shit in a millenia old sarcophagus instead of pressing his thumb into 100 year old wood. I think I may have done worse at my old school.

This site’s against a police state, but wants the government to crack down on this nuisance with all its might. We’re against Religion, but Japan’s emperor cult is sacred. Throw molotovs into governmental buildings, but don’t you dare touch this wooden arch.

Just let him pay the fine, have the sites insurance cover restoration, big whoop.

All he had to go off was a vehicle with 2 teenagers inside and the call from his girlfriend that there were trespassers on the property. Depending on what exactly was said on the call and what happened between him blocking the vehicle in and the shot, he might just have shit trigger discipline and his girlfriend is the one who is super scared of anyone she sees on their security cameras. He is still an idiot for trying to block their vehicle in any case though.

we’ve decided to waive our right to arbitration

That’s legalese for “We still think that we have that right, we will use it again”.

The ability to manipulate objects isn’t really that useful underwater, I feel, apart from being an unprecedented adaptation on the flipper and almost definitely coming at the cost of efficiency while swimming. Everything you want to mess around with as an orca can be transported with your mouth.

Now, sonar loud enough to shatter human rib cages, that’s what’s going to be the next big step.

Actually, it was the train that has come the long way.

It might look like you’re moving when you focus completely on the train, but you are in fact standing still while train spotting.

No true scottsman

He’s a Christian like any other and Christians will have to recognize that their beliefs are responsible for a lot of homophobia, instead of saying that anyone who makes them look bad is not a “true” Christian.
