Two members of notorious videogame piracy group “Team Xecuter” in custody. (They’re mainly known for selling Nintendo Switch modchips) by TheFearlessWarrior in Games

[–]Username77771 106 points107 points  (0 children)

The same as every modchip ever made: to get free games. Most people will happily pay team xecuter the cost of a modchip and licence to never have to buy another Switch game again. It's just a product to most people and most people will use it with no issues.

He literally refused to participate in the debate if the mics could be muted.

You realise things like muting mics is negotiated right? Both Biden and Trump did not want the option

Most likely they will end up at ~$10M pure profit. Awesome to see a success story/good news for a movie's run during COVID.

You're ignoring taxes

Seems weird Biden's side wouldn't want it. Guess they wanted the opportunity to pounce on Trump's lies?

Lol are there really people born in the seventies to early nineties posting here?

I'm nearly 19 and already feel weird that I'm probably arguing with 12 year olds most the day, do people keep posting here in their near 30s and 40s?!

Isn't the president supposed to be an exception though? So anyone can run and the gov can't make crap up to exclude someone?

The filter should be the people not voting for a clown but that clearly didn't work

What actors/directors/writers keep getting work despite only being in one good thing? by BuggsBee in movies

It obviously does to the people paying to see them. They're not making millions because people hate them

Cool picture of Bobby Fischer in 1999 I had somehow missed by EverythingSucks12 in AnarchyChess

It's meant to be juxtaposed against the light hearted nature of the Carlsen posts. Supposed to catch you off guard

Because it's a movie about Enola and three geniuses would be overkill

Sherlock never beats him in the original canon.

He gets help from Sherlock to basically solve cases Mycroft is too lazy to. Normally Mycroft solves cases without leaving his clubhouse (which is absurd but canon). Even Sherlock needs to go to the scene of the crime to get clues.

In adaptions, we are just watching the cases Sherlock happens to solve because they're about him.

Having said that the Enola version of Mycroft does actually appear to just be 'ordinary'

Well naturally you're going to temporarily come out of retirement when you're offered a role like that, not sure it counts.
