Why must someone get fired? If this is a mistake, I’m perfectly fine with that person getting yelled at.

This is the top of the email:

This is the typeset of the game they’re promoting:

This looks like a monumentally stupid fuckup. Never attribute to malice that what can be easily attributed to stupidity, incompetence, or negligence.

You’ll be disappointed in me, but I prefer the New Beginnings trilogy with Elijah Wood much more. But weren’t the other games (before that in the PS1 continuity) also collectathons? But from what little they’ve shown, the new Spyro game will have a lot of flying and combat too, so it might end up not having what the original Spyro fans want either.

We don’t talk about Skylanders. There is no Skylanders in Ba Sing Se.

Yeah, but wasn’t that choice specifically made because the sequels after the Naughty Dog trilogy were a complete directionless mess?

Then Activision came along and turned Crash Bandicoot into a whole different kind of game.

As far as Spyro goes, I’m not seeing anything about it being specifically ignoring everything after the PS1 trilogy.

The PS1 era Spyro has had several games comes out after the initial trilogy continuity, even a specific game on the NDS (alongside the reboot trilogy games the NDS got).

This new one would be more like… Spyro 7.

It’s only making it more expensive for themselves. They want to have two production lines for two separate models… Well that effects their profit margin.

Well, she’s bird. I’ve seen too many Avali already to get freaked by a cloaca.

These are only the safe ones, you coward!

Hmmm… Don’t tempt me.

Though it would be funny if I was responsible for applying Rule 35 to a second character…

Wow, she actually looks cool!

It was a little moment of abusing an IRL exploit. Felt like victory when I finally had the box in front of me.

In Denmark, Telia got acquired by Norlys and was permanently changed to Norlys Mobile. To attract customers, they made a deal on their most expensive subscription plan, Norlys One, where you’ll get a 20% discount on a Nintendo Switch 2 with Mario Kart World.

I have a friend who works for Telenor, another ISP and phone company. He has a friend who works in Norlys, and this guy discovered a major internal fuckup with the whole Nintendo Switch discount; instead of buying a subscription and getting a 20% discount, you’d just the Switch and game for 99 DKK.

It was in the process of getting fixed the moment it was discovered, so my friend’s friend called my friend, and my friend called me, and stopped in the middle of my job to rush an order through. I didn’t expect it to work, it almost didn’t, but now I’m the proud owner of the cheapest acquired Nintendo Switch 2 and Mario Kart World bundle in history.

I bought a refurbished Steam Deck waaay back before prices got ballistic. Can emulate the Switch 1 quite fine.

Also got a Switch 2 with Mario Kart World for 99 DKK (15 USD) last year (funny story about the price), but hardly use it.

It won’t be until it gets hacked. PC handhelds still have the benefit of being an open system, especially if you install Linux on them.

And Valve has significantly more consumer friendly support than Nintendo, to the point of being tinker support.

Yeah, this is effecting everything and everyone, not just one or two companies.

I could technically sell the parts of my computer today at a higher price than I bought them at because of all this bullshit.

I think DDO has its own Firefox fork.

I mean, if any studio can make a living RPG world it would be Warhorse. All I can say is “don’t fuck it up!”

Originally Bethesda Game Studio was the one, but their last decent game was Skyrim. They seem to know that themselves too, as they keep finding reasons to re-release Skyrim.

Those tiny work laptops aren’t heavy.

I have tasted KFC a few times, and I just can’t believe there are 11 herbs or spices. I’ll believe there are three; salt, a little bit of black pepper, and MSG.

I swear, I can make better fried chicken at home with less ingredients KFC claims to have, and it’ll actually taste like those ingredients.

Cool. Now show me the dead Charlie Kirk reaction.
