And that makes them different from present-day America how? West Virginia, on the other hand... anyone sporting a rebel flag in that state ought to be legal to hunt for sport.

Boomer will live.

If the US banned hate speech, the cops would just start rounding up all the black people and jailing them for saying the N word, and conveniently looking the other way at entire neo-Nazi rallies. That's how dysfunctional our entire system is.

Funny you should put it that way, because I checked just now, and the 3DS store was shut down in 2023, but existing purchases can still be re-downloaded. So by shutting it down, they actually pushed the ratio of money made to money lost from whatever it was at that point to 100%.

I'm genuinely surprised that the PS3 store is still operating. I thought it was the norm on consoles for digital storefronts to be shut down pretty much as soon as the console was discontinued. Or is it only Nintendo that does that?

OK, to answer the same questions about the Machine: 0. You were right that it's "a PC gaming thing." It's literally a compact PC. A PC you won't be able to upgrade unless Valve voluntarily starts offering standalone replacement parts, and even then only if and when a second-gen version that...

"I don't wanna activate the Toast Route on my first run!" -

Funny you should mention that, because it has bothered me from the beginning that there's a whole movement dedicated to keeping digital media playable forever, but that it only focuses on video games. Makes me wonder if the people behind it are the kind of elitists who think games are superior...

Seriously, why hasn't the EU outlawed DRM yet?

0. Are we actually talking about the Steam Deck or the Steam Machine? The Deck is the handheld one, but your description of Microsoft and Sony's consoles makes it sound like you're getting them mixed up. Neither of them is planning to replace their consoles with handhelds yet, to my knowledge...

Probably the first time DuckDuckGo has done anything newsworthy, ever, and of course it's because they're jumping on the AI bandwagon just like literally everyone else.

Alternatively, and probably cheaper: What if they made a pair of wireless dongles that let you cast the Switch 2's main video output to the TV wirelessly, so you can just use the built-in screen as the second screen? Though, if they really wanted WiiU emulation to be on the table, you'd think...

OK, time to start talking about secession.

Yeah, except they'll find a way to make it our problem and not theirs, just like everything else that's ever gone wrong for them.

Remember also that one of the symptoms of aging is a loss of sensitivity to heat and increased sensitivity to cold (that's why so many old people move to Florida), so they're probably not even bothered by this.

Whether or not there's any evidence that he actually has them?

I dunno about any. "What are we going to do next, attack Iran?" was a common joke during the Bush administration*, and the consensus seemed to be that it would be a phenomenally stupid idea and that the rest of the world would just laugh at us and not help. *There was some specific politician...

OK, listen you two. First off, Primal, I hope you realize how much you sound like those alt-right chuds who challenge people to debates and then brush off everything that's said to them with long-winded strings of ten dollar words that mean nothing. I get that the whole blood-libel conspiracy...

I've thought about just locking him in a cell and pretending to forget about him. Letting him live, albeit for a matter of mere days, with the horrifying realization that this is what happens to people who have no one to rely on, and the false hope that maybe someone will still show up with...

I know it's common to say that awful people "deserve each other," but there's something to be said for the idea that they deserve no one because that would be even worse. For each of them to be alone in the world, all their bridges burned, even with each other, left standing on a Far Side...
