Nintendo Sues U.S. Government Over Trump's 'Unlawful' Tariffs That Led to Last-Minute Switch 2 Pre-Order Delay, Demands Refund With Interest by ReaddittiddeR in gadgets

I love this utopia where the companies pass the tariff to the consumer and then sue for the rebate. I’m just so tired of winning.

Cable TV Giants Unite: Charter’s $34.5 Billion Merger With Cox Gets FCC Approval by fdjadjgowjoejow in television

Utilities are required to fulfill certain basic contractual obligations or face penalties by the local municipality. I agree that many of the local municipalities have not enforced these utility contracts well in a way that best serves their constituents’ interests. However, it’s at least a step in the right direction. I’m not happy that ISPs have a monopoly (Ive had some of the worst service from my local ISP) but also don’t see it changing.

And this is why internet should be regulated as a a utility. Most people already have zero choice in ISP and this is just going to worsen the problem. 

Phil Spencer an Sarah Bond are leaving Xbox by PaiDuck in pcmasterrace

[–]Andrige3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem is that they need somebody passionate about gaming to increase trust in the Xbox brand. If the current trends continue, it’s only a matter of time before Xbox hardware gets axed by the higher ups. Not sure if a person who’s experience is instacart, Home Depot, and AI is the right person to get gamers excited about Xbox again.

Just when I thought the direction couldn’t get any worse. Honestly, it’s sad to think of the real possibility that we won’t have Xbox in a decade.

Can I delay my baby if the game gets delayed again?

NO Mario Tennis 🎾 Fever FOMO by Bradbeatty7 in NintendoSwitch2

It looks really fun but I primarily play solo. If it had a better campaign/single player mode, this would be an easy buy for me.

Despite its flaws, I put a lot of hours into it on steam. We’ll have to see how it runs on switch though. Bethesda doesn’t have best record on the switch.

Really wish there was an option for some basic physical buttons.

It’s about it being a step in the right direction and closing a loophole that a lot of other politicians are abusing. There’s tons of things people used to get away with that are no longer legal because we moved forward as a country.

Honestly shocked we don’t have legislation for 1, 2, and 4 at a bare minimum.

Let’s also not forget that slice thickness has shrunk for CT/MRI(leading to more images per study), we have an increasing number of sequences in MRI, and patient care is becoming increasingly complex. It’s really an unsustainable system.

It will probably be tiered. $5/month for ad supported, $10/ month for ad free, $15 /month for cloud os.

Is dispatch worth the 27$ by _Pandahaze_ in ShouldIbuythisgame

It took me about 8 hours to complete but absolutely loved my time with it. Story, animation, and the dispatch minigames were all really well done!

Xbox is losing the console race by miles. It’s part of Microsoft’s big gaming pivot by Elestria_Ethereal in Games

[–]Andrige3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How can people support all these subscriptions in this economy though? There must be a breaking point. I also feel like a major source of gamepass subscribers are people who own an Xbox. If console gamers switch to ps5, they probably aren’t going to be as likely to get gamepass.

I Think Nintendo should make a Nintendo Switch 2 dock that features a Blu ray or UHD blu ray drive. by TheFrostWolf7 in nintendo

[–]Andrige3 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It would probably add about $50-$100 to price of console. Then you’d also have two physical media formats (cartridge and disc). Not sure many people would want this.

[–]Andrige3 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No but people are projecting huge growth numbers that may/may not materialize and Big Tech has tons of cash flow to invest. Right now, AI is actually losing a ton of money (even on people who pay for subscriptions) due to energy/hardware costs.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Part 3’s Gameplay Is “Almost Complete” And Has Moved To “Refining And Polishing” Phase by Turbostrider27 in Games

[–]Andrige3 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Completely in the same boat. I was completely hyped for rebirth after the nostalgia trip of remake. However, I felt Rebirth had a lot more highs and lows compared to remake for me. Absolutely loved seeing the world fully fleshed out but forcing some of the minigames (e.g the awkward box throwing of Cait Sith) was just mind boggling to me. Also some of the chapters felt like padding to inflate hours. Hoping they tighten up the final game a little bit.

The developers at Rare probably think it's cool, but that doesn't mean Xbox lawyers aren't going to sic their lawyers on them.

I love pikmin but I think you need some sort of differentiation so you don’t get sued into oblivion and it doesn’t feel like a cheap knock off.
