I’ve read that with current Nintendo finances they can afford to not make any profit for something like 10 or 20 years. I genuinely think that they’re not as much as malicious as they are stuck in very outdated thinking that’s prevalent in Japanese business. They don’t get any short term profit from things like this.

Nintendo sits on a load of hard cash and has Apple-like profit margins. They’re not going away anytime soon and I think that’s for the best. They’re one of the last AAA publishers focused on innovation in gameplay which is why I can forgive them being mildly brain damaged sometimes.

Do you want to play it or do you collect games? If you want to play it then you can sell it afterwards. No rush because it’s not getting any discounts so it holds value quite well.

I’ve bought my copy for €37:

Yes, please do. Don’t leave me hanging.

If both just continued with politics of increasing wealth inequality it was inevitable. Poor people need scapegoats.

If you’re not going to address root causes of what’s happening it’s like trying to change how river flows with a stick. Politicians know it too.

It’s not leftists fault Kamala lost. It’s on Kamala who would be as genocidal but with better aesthetics. Why would leftists care who won between the two anyway. Let’s be adults lol.

How do you follow up on those pledges though? Strong pinky swear energy coming from those agreements.

It’s not even like he’s petty, his successor is even more of the same.

If liberals call pedo anyone they disagree with now we’ve reached a new low I guess. Funnily enough I’m just a socialist and I try to signal my disgust with Trump as clearly as possible not too confuse liberals too much.

Here are couple of more shockers:

• Unions in the US were at their strongest when immigration was at its lowest because immigrants are capital’s labour reserve army. Karl Marx knew as much.
• Current US economic model that Trump is destroying was based on exploitation of its vassals. Liberals are angry because in his own stupidity Trump is destroying that evil but cozy empire.

What’s a repedocan? DuckDuckGo shows me some bike taxis and washing machine manuals.

Thats not my dream, I’m not even American, it’s the Americans that voted for it. It’s the dream world where Nintendo cannot afford not to, as far as I understand. Seems doable even if I cannot imagine that transition won’t suck.

Cannot? That’s super defeatist. US had pretty good electronics manufacturing capability until somewhat recently.

Sodomy is pretty sweet. Happy to see St. Lucian gays are no longer missing out on it.

It’s not that rare earth minerals are this rare, it’s that their extraction is extremely bad for the environment so most western countries are happy to make it a brown people problem.

Trump is a moron in general and his narcissistic/hyperactive behaviour is cringe-worthy but fabs don’t get built in a single term. Biden continued many of Trumps policies because they were popular, funding ICE and increasing deportations included.

The bug is back with vengeance 🐛🐛🐛

We’re good for now, at least on surface. Given that Switch 2 prices in the US didn’t go up after tariffs it seems like we’re subsidising Yanks for some reason. There’s also Japan-exclusive region-locked Switch 2 SKU that’s about $350.

Yes, that’s what this blog post is about :)

What are the resources required to build electronics that are unavailable in the US? There’s no infrastructure, yeah, but saying a country the size of US is limited in what’s available resource-wise sounds silly.
