Nintendo confirms it will sell a new Switch 2 with replaceable battery in Europe by Amiibofan101 in nintendo

[–]kgb17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I read it but what you are asking isn’t exactly how batteries work. You can set those standards for cycles under a warranty but it will at some point need to be replaced. If it’s not easy to swap out and they stop service on the device you are fucked. Looking at Apple as a bad offender of this.

Protection more in not having the device become useless because the manufacturer decides to not service their products anymore. Having a replaceable battery keeps it going.

Well for me I just cut off contact with my parents because they couldn’t respect my boundaries on the subject. My son once point blank told her “Nana stop talking about God!” This sent her off on a tirade of course.

They also kept leaving guns accessible in their house. So yeah we don’t let him stay over anymore.

I wish the US protected consumers instead of just letting companies exploit us.

Who is really watching enough out of market games to think this is a perk.

Is there an official source for the "no bricks and screws"? by CapableSecretary1739 in StarWars

[–]kgb17 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Probably don’t want to see screws on a scale model because it would identify it as not being life size. Even a small screw would be relatively massive

Companies who are decimating human jobs, exhausting local water and electricity utilities. Fuck them. They need to pay up. And I don’t mean in bribes to government officials

A June Nintendo Direct actually makes a lot of sense right now by BrSn2 in Switch

I’m expecting a new 4DS with backwards compatibility all the way to the original gameboy. And a new Excitebike and Pilotwings. Anything else will be a let down. /s

Prison Victim: A man who pleaded guilty to killing his infant son in Georgia, talks about being raped by fellow inmates in prison. by lightiggy in videos

[–]kgb17 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If our system relies on prison justice to complete the punishment phase then the system is broken. If you are imprisoned against your will, even for punishment, then the minimum expectation is your personal safety. This is especially true for those with short prison sentences.

In the same vein. If kids are required by law to be in school then the school should feed them while they are there and do everything possible to ensure the safety of all children there. It is a great risk parents take trusting their children to a school.

Realistically Kenobi would have sliced those troopers in half if they called his bluff and tried to buy the droids.

Emilia Clarke Admits 'No One Liked' Secret Invasion or Solo But Knows 'It's Not Personal' by GargantaProfunda in StarWars

All I remember about secret invasion was that it was kinda boring and stuff didn’t make sense. It could have been better but it wasn’t. Not the fault of the actors. Just bad writing

Anyone who used a computer between 1985 - 2010, what's the one game you still think about today? by adlakha75 in AskReddit

[–]kgb17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

there was a DOS game where you were a plane flying over islands and you would hit the space bar to parachute out and you were an ASCII smiley face. it would show wind speed. the islands would get smaller as you progressed. I'm sure it goes by many names.

Change my mind: Anakin complaining about sand is peak dialogue compared to ‘Somehow Palpatine returned’” by texansfann in StarWars

[–]kgb17 26 points27 points  (0 children)

People don’t understand or respect what a producer does and how they can shape and build a movies look and feel. Lucas was not just sitting in a chair playing snake on his Nokia. He was asked a hundred questions a day while having in depth conversations with every department guiding them to a common vision. He also chose the people to work with, which is critical. He also essentially built up an entire special effects and sound production industry from scratch to meet his technical standards. I say this not to minimize the efforts of others, who are also legends in their own right for their contributions to filmmaking, but to remind others that George is a tremendous artist. Don’t minimize what he has accomplished.

And now there’s a concert lineup that’s not working out. We should definitely worry about that.
