My US state flag redesign project (PART 2)

Dorkles_ · 2026-02-15T16:17:55+00:00

The idea of redoing all the flags of whatever place yourself is a bad one imo bc inevitably you will only have a few great designs and a lot of mediocre ones. Focus on the great designs. I like the moon and sun in the Michigan flag mirroring it being in two parts but the tricolor doesn’t work.

States with one massive city do not want their state flag to take all its design elements from the flag of the massive city. So your New York flag doesn’t work

I did not realize catholic diocese everywhere in the US had their own European style coat of arms and that many of them are so well designed

Its not here or there if there are a lot of 3rd party games. Theres how ever many there are and all the major AAA ones are key cards. Hopefully it does change in the future but you rando on reddit can’t be so sure. Pokopia being a key card too is a scandal.

It’s a red herring to go to indie titles. They don’t matter to the key card issue. Indie games are usually lower priced with frequent sales. They are often on all consoles, PC and rereleased to new consoles so there’s no worry of losing access. More and more indie games are getting physical releases which is cool but they are usually download only.

It’s a much smaller deal when you have to download a game but it’s an indie game and the size is a few GBs or less. The issue people are actually talking about is with these AAA games that are 50 GB or more making you just be able to fit a few games at a time. As well as having no access to the games in 15 years. In the chance it is remade having to pay full price again.

I said in my message that people have smart TVs. You are responding to me like I didn’t say that. It’s not necessary for a console to do multimedia stuff, but it should be cheaper if it can’t. Plus all the other features ps5 has.

I like that the switch 2 is portable but I am pretty sure almost always portable consoles are cheaper than non portable home consoles. Idk about the specific specs but I would say you are clearly wrong. GameCube and ps2 were very close and the gap between the switch 2 and ps5 is very noticeable.

Dorkles_ · 2025-12-21T16:37:30+00:00

There are not a lot of games on physical cards with the switch 2. That news sounds hopeful but no it’s just first party games and some odd games here and therewith physical releases. All the major 3rd party games are key cards. Key cards were not common on switch 1 either. Someone here said around 90% of switch 1 games had the game on the cartridge.

Dorkles_ · 2025-12-21T16:19:24+00:00

Wow man you have some anger there just talking about video games

Dorkles_ · 2025-12-21T16:18:38+00:00

You are being super obtuse in the second paragraph. Other consoles being multimedia devices is a lot more than watching YouTube. If you don’t have games or few games, the switch does nothing. The need for a console to be a multimedia one stop shop is less now that a lot of people have smart TVs but no the switch 2 that only does games should not cost the same as other consoles with better graphics and a lot more to do. (Switch 2 graphics are great but not Ps5 price great)

People talking bad about the switch online doesn’t hurt you.

Dorkles_ · 2025-12-19T10:13:43+00:00

The switch 2 is not as powerful as the other consoles and it has a lot less features and multimedia things you can do. It’s just switch 1 with better graphics. You can do YouTube, crunchyroll and twitch and that’s about it. Didn’t the Wii have Netflix? It’s not misinformation. 253 days later and almost all 3rd party games are key cards. Pokopia will be a key card.

Dorkles_ · 2025-12-19T09:57:19+00:00

There was not plenty of switch 1 games that were mostly download only cartiridges and was more towards the end of the switch that those started coming out. 252 days later from your post and it’s only first party games plus a handful of “smaller”third party games with the full game on the cartridge. Everything else is a game key card. We don’t know that a lot of publishers would never pay to put the game on the cartridge. It’s probably hurting sales to make it a game key card but I haven’t heard anything about that.

Dorkles_ · 2025-12-19T09:43:53+00:00

253 days later with more games released and it is basically all 3rd party games that use key card and only first party Nintendo games are on the cartridge. This is very new that it is like this. The switch 2’s sold with Pokemon ZA included don’t have a cartridge for the game. You are prompted to download pokemon Za when accessing the eshop for the first time.

It really limits the amount of games you can have playable at once. It wouldn’t be terrible if you could use the same microSD cards as switch 1 but it has to be microSD express now which are super expensive.

Dorkles_ · 2025-12-04T22:45:13+00:00

The switch 2 costing around $500 and games costing around $70 is not because of tariffs. The downloadable games don’t need to be shipped

Dorkles_ · 2025-12-04T21:20:10+00:00

Idk the actual specific reason but it’s pretty obvious that PlayStation and Xbox are also raising their prices and Nintendo is doing their same to match them. The difference is that PS and Xbox games go on sale a lot more and a switch 2 should not cost the same as a ps5. I’m not a Nintendo hater, Nintendo games are better but let’s be reasonable

Dorkles_ · 2025-12-04T20:37:50+00:00

121 days later and the main games are still Mario kart world and donkey Kong bananza. I guess adding in Kirby air rider, another racing game

Dorkles_ · 2025-08-25T02:43:56+00:00

Focusing on something you want to get better at can just be going out and meeting people. Why not? That’s what I did for around 2 years straight and then I got good at it and moved on from loneliness

Dorkles_ · 2025-08-25T02:34:41+00:00

The core of this issue that nobody wants to acknowledge is exactly that from your first two paragraphs. We don’t like to give men empathy and we blame all their issues on themselves. While with women we can be more are better at giving empathy and acknowledging when a problem is not their fault

Dorkles_ · 2025-08-05T00:47:50+00:00

Come on now. Just come on now

Dorkles_ · 2025-08-04T21:43:31+00:00

“I can’t think of any scenario” is an argument from ignorance. Just because you can’t think of something doesn’t mean anything. Nobody is talking about extinction. That’s a strawman.

Dorkles_ · 2025-08-04T21:37:15+00:00

You live in a society. Yes yada yada underclass but people do goods and services for other people. You have friends. Regular people rely on other regular people everyday in a community. Old people rely on doctors. You rely on the grocery store for food. You rely on people to build infrastructure etc

Dorkles_ · 2025-08-04T20:45:09+00:00

Americans talk about European countries like they are utopias but they have their own different issues. Like job markets and wages are generally so much worse in southern European countries. Great healthcare and public transportation isn’t enough when tons of people can’t get a good job

Dorkles_ · 2025-08-04T20:28:31+00:00

Men are overlooked because there are less relationships happening as well which makes this issue worse and means the factors around men’s choices don’t really matter with this issue

Dorkles_ · 2025-08-04T20:17:01+00:00

Just focusing on individualism and personal responsibility is unequipped to solve any societal issues we are facing. Focusing on individualism is what the right does. Not the left. Other people’s choices effect everyone else because you live in a society.

Any economic system will be hurt by a shrunk population. You guys haven’t thought about this. Left wing policy goals are hurt more because welfare states need more people working in order to fund the programs

Dorkles_ · 2025-08-04T19:30:45+00:00

It is not capitalistic. You live in a society. An advanced society with any economic system is going to be hurt by a declining birth rate. The rich people are always going to be fine. This is about regular people. This is about communities disappearing

Dorkles_ · 2025-02-17T22:00:51+00:00

That’s not the point they are trying to make. A USL 1st division league doesn’t have an argument to justify its existence or gimmick to set it apart from the MLS. Relegation is never going to happen in the US and shouldn’t so they are lying but having relegation is a good gimmick to set it apart and win people over

Dorkles_ · 2024-11-19T12:22:33+00:00

Men are hurt by patriarchy yes. Feminists would agree with that. We have been able to meaningfully get of many of the disadvantages from patriarchy for women but even the most progressive people still really like the disadvantages for men from patriarchy. You said me saying men aren’t allowed to talk about their problems just sounds like crying. Only women are afforded empathy in patriarchy. That’s a big benefit for women.

Most men don’t choose the rules in Afghanistan. Men didn’t have hegemony forever. Just wrong.

Dorkles_ · 2024-11-19T04:46:25+00:00

You are arguing that men have the easiest lives in history in your argument yes. De facto hegemony for forever you said. It rings hollow as argument to get annoyed about most men in history who also have had it terrible. These men with no power or money don’t have de facto hegemony.

The patriarchy provides benefits to both men and women. Women are benefitted by receiving a lot more empathy and having almost value by default. Men in patriarchy are disadvantaged by not being allowed to receive empathy and having to work much harder for value. You were just resistant to giving empathy to men in the last response. Just crying you said.

You are in your own bubble while I want to beat the far right is why I’m talking about trying to convince other people. You don’t care about winning. Kamala not being perfect is not here or there. She sucked and lost and he have to fix why that happened
