We have a lot of non-management whom are all-in and drinking the kool-ade. I’m still highly put off for a number of reasons, but an outlier.

Ah, Usenet…

Although insta has been making inroads, it was the default in Japan for a long time for govt info, shop notifications (bars, art galleries, you name it), as well as other customer interaction.

I tried to daily drive Linux. Updated mint and I had to manually fix stuff to even complete the upgrade. My video editing software, required for one of my jobs, no longer worked. At that point, I ran out of time to mess with it and am, at least for the time being, back on windows

Counterpoint for the general case: games also have a much larger playerbase these days and manufacturing of cartridges and components can be done at much greater economies of scale. In many cases, there is no physical media manufacturing cost to a lot of the sales.

For the specific point: Gearbox/Take2 have lost all faith from me so, while I don’t generally mind some games being in that price range, there’s zero chance pitchford and his ilk are getting that from me.

Just go to the normal human arcade with all the other totally real, normal humans.

Wait 'til the pigeon pope hears about this; pope wars, all over again.

/ very poopy pope wars.

I remember ours (I think both schools were built in the early 1900s) being rough but not that rough.

Have you tried going to a doctor to see what is wrong? PPE if you work somewhere hazardous? Moisturizing if you’re somewhere very dry?

literally ruin part of society

Not being able to steal something someone put a ton of time and/or money into for a couple of years without compensating them at all is ruining society… how exactly?

open source doesn’t pay my mortgage, pay back any business loans, put food on my table, etc. as the sole breadwinner in my family.

To be clear, I have contributed in a minor degree to open source and build things for fun; this is specifically about why copyright exists in certain domains. I also think it should be something more like 3-5 years max. I am a software engineer and used to work in the games industry for a number of years (though not anymore).

If I spend millions of my own money and hundreds or thousands of hours of my own time to build something, another company should not just be able to yoink that, put a coat of paint on it, and leave me with nothing to show if theirs just happens to get more popular or be advertised a little better. I don’t think the current laws are good but, absent basic income and such for everyone, I see why something should exist.

I’ve seen no evidence of this. People are clamoring for the switch 2 and talking about all they want to buy. Fuck Nintendo, but people keep giving them money so they’re going to keep doing anti-consumer shit with no sign of any government stopping them. The government isn’t going to attack one of the most beloved companies in Japan whose mascot they used at their olympics. A lot of Japanese are event against things like free, labour-of-love randomizers made for old games. People need to stop buying their shit globally if they want anything to happen.

Portable steam sauna, in case anyone was actually wondering.

As someone living in east Asia, there are definitely a number and it seems to be increasing. Then again, “Asia” is like a huge chunk of the world encompassing more than two billion people.

That’s how it’s been used at the two companies I’ve worked for that use slack.

Not particularly, but I’ve played maybe 40 minutes of pokemon in my life total so my opinion probably shouldn’t count.

More zelda like aLttP, though…

As someone who owns a Kawasaki motorcycle and has been very pleased with their sales and service staff: won’t touch that thing. I don’t even know how/where one would refuel the thing; I’ve not seen hydrogen Stations anywhere here in japanJapan so far despite various automakers talking about it.

As I understand it, Jewish followers of the Jesus movement were meant to keep the law. However, especially after the death of Jesus, there was a lot of interest in getting gentiles on board and they, at least according to some authors (and apparently this was not a unified position?), the gentiles were not bound by the law (or maybe only by the Noahide law).

Strict households also have completely separate cookware, sinks, and even ovens/stoves. That blew my mind a bit when I first saw it.
