I’d imagine not very hard, but then would it even be worth it? I’m imagining something like in Cyberpunk: an orbital digital prison where one company keeps its enemies’ minds on chips that can be swapped to an entirely different person and overwrite their original personality.

Goddamn.

I didn’t realize it at the time, but apparently I originally posted my comment for you. 🫡

But if people put about 10 seconds of thought into what they buy (and why/why not) we wouldn’t feel the need to condemn them for making poor purchase decisions.

Like continuing to give money to a corporation even when there’s actual mountains of evidence that said corporation is actually evil, or at the very least incredibly amoral. Like people continuing to buy Microsoft and Sony products even though they have been making some of the most user-unfriendly decisions in the past few years.

I don’t really understand it. They actually fall on their swords for a king who doesn’t even know they exist, and couldn’t care less whether they did or didn’t.

You put all of that much better than I would have.

Meanwhile on the last steam sale I bought the entire Dishonored series for less than $15. In fact, many steam sales I’ve bought multiple games for about or less than $20.

Actually you’d be surprised how fairly easy using a PC is. I’m about as “plug-and-play” as you can get, but thanks to a computer being a computer and the Internet literally being right there, any questions you have are just a relatively short search away. The more time you spend with the PC just doing things with it, the more you’ll learn and the easier it’ll be.

Take emulation for example. There are many different emulators out there, and even more games to play them with. All you really need to do is read the instructions for how to install one of these emulators, and you’re good to enjoy literally any game you can find for that platform. There are more than a few websites that are literally just file directories for emulated games (they call them “ISOs”). About a year ago I had a PS2, GameCube, and PS3 emulators and probably played too many games. Stuff like the classic Spider-Man 2 game, Tak, Jak & Daxter, Shadow the Hedgehog, Ratchet & Clank, TimeSplitters, Sonic '06, the Sly Cooper series, and the Infamous games.

Exactly. Save your money, pirate their shit because it’s ethically right.

This. I’m a little surprised so many comments are telling OP to go ahead and buy it if they’re inclined to. Too many people are way too okay with all of this.

I’d like to play BoTW and ToTK, but I’m not gonna go spend money to do it.

A) I have principles. B) Nintendo is a multibillion dollar international corporation, that’s recently started charging $80 for games that are most definitely not worth the price. C) save your money for actually useful shit like groceries and gas.

Don’t give Nintendo your money

Edit: goddamn, apparently none of you Nintendo fanboys have heard of the phrase/concept “vote with your wallet.”

By continuing to buy products from Nintendo (and other companies) you’re telling them that you and everyone else who bought something are totally on board and a-okay with all the anti-consumer practices they commit. Things like: getting rid of physical copies of games and other media outright, patent trolling, and other generally shitty capitalist practices every multimillion/billion dollar company does.

Seriously, people need to stop saying everything needs a remaster. It’s precisely how we got into the current situation we’re in.

It doesn’t need a remaster imo. It’s not even 10 years old, and it still looks and plays very well.

Just fuck all the way off with this shit. I know this is Australia, but in the US many states are requiring ID verification for most mainstream porn sites. Sure there are others that work, but it shouldn’t even be a thing in the first place.

There’s a personal pal storage that you can unlock relatively early on. It’s like a separate, disconnected palbox that still holds a shitload of pals. In fact I think it holds more than the regular palbox.

When did you last play? It’s basically Ark with Pokemon, just slightly jankier.

Search definitely should have been there once it was good to go, but I didn’t mind the new sorting options from the last time I played about 6 months ago. Like favoriting pals with different tiers, sorting by type/favorites.

I’m excited for the 47 new pals, and the sky islands.

Like Going Medieval. Came out in June 2021 and had 5 years of steady regular content updates.

The whole two years. Such a long early access period.

I thought billionaires liked giving money to their billionaire friends? What’s the issue?
