Oh nice that’s exactly the kind of Jenny I want, I’ll check out her Patreon.

YouTube has rapidly censoring more and more by way of demonetization and language policing.

What kind of videos are those monthly ones?

I remember looking into getting Azure and GCP certs some years ago and went through a few prep courses. It turns out getting the initial certs for cloud services like them is basically to be a salesman for them. It’s like they’re training IT people inside companies to be embedded salespeople for them. Insidious, and kinda genius.

That was Phil Fish but his game FEZ is insanely well received.

Professional just means getting paid.

They’re basically filling in that market for entry level tech knowledge and enthusiasts that used to be occupied by CNET and Tom’s Hardware when written articles were king.

They redid that challenge and it went much differently. In fact, Linus may now be a Linux convert.

Is Chicago deep dish a pizza or a casserole?

Where are you getting these stories about who is getting bullied on college campuses for these reasons?

Wait when was the last time they were leveraged for $20B?

I can never find a good source for what those games are, and more often than not they’re a game I already have on PC that just happens to have a mobile port. Like what am I going to do, buy Slay the Spire a third time since I already have it on PC and Switch?

Despite having a smartphone for over 15 years, I’ve found maybe a handful of games that are mobile games primarily that are also full fledged games that aren’t slop. There’s probably more out there but no good ways to find them. Mobile gaming is heavily overrepresented by freemium and gacha games and players, or people suggesting indie games that exist on other platforms.

You’re conflating two different somethings. Anti-AI mob is not the same as AI. Being against mob mentality doesn’t make you inherently pro AI.

It’s possible to be pro or anti mob mentality and AI in various different combinations.

He doesn’t care, he’s only calling it AI slop so people will think he’s cool.

Pretty sure the Nazis at Twitter do just as much virtue signalling. Every play in the right wing playbook these days is to pretend to care about a value and then do nothing for, or the opposite of, it.

TotK may as well be DLC for BotW, and Windwaker would have been more similar to those titles were it not for the technical limitations of the Gamecube.

You haven’t played ToTK at all. And what is this weird statement about WW supposed to prove about how the Switch games are the worst? Are you suggesting WW would have been the “worst” Zelda game if the GC had the power of a console that came 15 years later?

This isn’t even getting into how you’re going to need to show your work for how Zelda 2, Skyward Sword, some of the mobile entries, and that CD-i game are all better games than BotW or TotK.

You’re really gonna look at all those 3DS attempts to reboot the same NES game and tell me that’s not slop?

Yes. Things aren’t “slop” just because they’re not great. Otherwise most things in existence are slop. You haven’t thought this through.

Pokémon is seeing the worst quality of the whole franchise on Switch

You don’t know much about Pokemon games if you think the recent entries are the worst received generations.

apparently Pokémon Go was just to train military robots or some shit.

Pokemon Go is notably not a Switch game.

You’re really gonna look at 3DS models in a Switch game and tell me that’s not slop, my opinion is just wrong?

Yes. An uninformed opinion that misuses terms is a wrongly derived opinion.

Smash Ultimate’s online play has 11, ELEVEN frames of input lag under ideal circumstances, the metagame has been busted since Steve, DLC characters are OP, patches were promised, then canceled, and support is over now. You’re really gonna tell me that’s acceptable, totally not slop, my opinion just sucks?

Yes, the opinion of someone who forgot about Brawl isn’t worth much.

I hope you play Switch games forever, and I hope you love it.

This does not hit the way you think it does. Most people don’t have such an irrational hatred for the Switch that they’ve convinced themselves of a lot of untruths to justify their weird hatred.

The use of superlatives on a highly subjective statement also don’t signify quality. If anything, their presence implies irrationality.

Which jurisdictions have this regulation? I’m pretty sure there’s no such thing as a leading retailer having to implement a disadvantageous sales agreement for the sake of their competition.

OP needs to keep a dictionary in the shower.

Again, this is a standard retail clause that has existed long before Steam. It would apply no matter what combination of retailers they choose to sell at because they all have this. This is why digital games are sold at the same price as physical copies when they cost less to distribute: the brick and mortar retailers have this same clause.

There’s no good reason to treat this like a Steam-specific thing. Every retailer has such a clause, big or small. This entire idea is based on a frivolous class action suit that is not going anywhere because it’s launched on the shaky grounds of the belief that Steam exclusively uses the MFN clause and that they think a 30% cut is too much.
