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.

Very well…

Ah, finally. My skills from being an RP server moderator finally coming to fruition.

Ah, yeah, that makes sense.

Isn’t coffeezilla that YouTube journalist that exposes things?

Come on Valve. Abolish the loot box. Set an example.

Again…

Yes. I agree with with Donny in this meme.

To the same effect, I’m bothered with how everyone in the new Odyssey movie looks way too pasty white for Mediterranean mariners. Was it really necessary to cast big names for the movie? Couldn’t they find anyone that fit those parts better?

Hells, I had a lengthy discussion with an enthusiast for that time period and he went livid when we started talking about the costume design…

Hollywood is becoming altogether tiresome.

I don’t care anymore. Haven’t used Windows in years.

I know. But the two party system does prevent everyone from ever being able to vote on a better alternative unless an insurmountable number of people vote for some third party.
