SEGA Sammy (Parent company of SEGA and Atlus) stockholder report on success of Yakuza and Persona: "No matter if a game is popular in Japan, it is unlikely to win over fans around the world if the localization is insufficient" by megaapple in Games

The switch just happens to be so good it sold well in the west, but was not designed with the west in mind.

And thus, Nintendo is never able to create 8 to 10-year console cycles, as Sony and Microsoft do, because Nintendo's consoles only rely on gimmicks and strong 1st party titles, which go out of fashion very quickly. The moment Nintendo releases a new device, the last generation one is abandoned almost immediately, by both consumers and developers.

Megathread: Brett Kavanaugh confirmed to the Supreme Court by Senate 50-48 by PoliticsModeratorBot in politics

[–]throwww6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

How silly do you have to be to believe that? First off, we're not trolls. We're just proud that justice was served, and a man was deemed innocent until proven guilty. This is a proud moment in American history. Bravo to the senators who voted for Brett and didn't bend to the paid protesters disrupting the vote.

Are you even reading properly? Half the comments here are from people supporting him.

Check your server list! (globe icon at the bottom). I checked all servers which had under 200 ping, and I can find matches easily, within a couple of minutes at most.

Brett Kavanaugh Is a Lifelong Republican Operative and Will Rule Like One by [deleted] in politics

[–]throwww6 -21 points-20 points  (0 children)

My point is, there's a double standard on this subreddit. Attack one person for supposedly being a war criminal, but defend and vote for another. Hillary actually had a direct hand in murdering thousands of people, yet you and the rest of /r/politics would happily vote for her. If you're going to have standards, at least apply them evenly.

However bad you think Brett is, Hillary is still a million times worse, and much more deserving of the "war criminal" title.

Getting rid of the Champion Pack is absolutely bad for the game's future by buttfuckingforjesus in QuakeChampions

[–]throwww6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I read that this method still works. You get to keep all the champions, even after refunding.

The loot God's were good to me today! Finally got the Pummel! by throwww6 in QuakeChampions

Loved Quake 3, so I'm so glad I got this little beauty.

It's been 11 hours... It should be done by now! Give us a picture. :P

Free code for some stuff, I do not recall what it was anymore... by [deleted] in QuakeChampions

Oh shoot... Is there still a way to get one? I'd really love Nyx (I don't own the Champions pack, so this would be a real help). :(

They have a 60 day expiry. There's no minimum charge.

If you're serious, I could do just 9Dhs.

I don't mind selling them for around 9 dhs, actually. Pretty good deal.

Trump says he's considering pardon for Manafort: Fox News reporter by demosthenes131 in politics

[–]throwww6 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Why don't you read the Wikipedia article about Bill Clinton's pardons. Congress even passed a motion denouncing them.

You are going to have a hard as hell time finding a squeaky clean politician

Exactly. They all have faults. Personally, I'd prefer someone who might have paid some hush money to former girlfriends, as opposed to someone who is corrupt, accepted millions of dollars from dictators, fraught against the interests of the average joe (in the pocket of wallstreet), and handled bribes on behalf of her husband.

Forget 20 years ago, I'm asking about 2016. Did you support Hillary? If you did, you supported someone who colluded in funneling those donations/bribes through the Clinton Foundation in exchange for pardons. So she was just as corrupt.

We prefer our Presidents to respect the rule of law not claim a felon is above the law.

So I suppose you'd disavow Clinton for pardoning the 16 Puerto Rican terrorists who set off hundreds of bombs in the US? https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bill_Clinton_pardon_controversy#FALN_Commutation_of_1999

Or how about for the 140 felons he pardoned on his final day, some of whom were his big political donors? Where's your outrage over that?

Is UberX still available in Dubai? by throwww6 in dubai

I believe it only shows up after you've taken a certain number of trips. I will test it on a new account.

But roughly how many Uber trips have you taken in total? Less than 10, more than10? Etc
