    I mean, the people in charge of Nintendo now aren’t those people.

    In 50 years, if Microsoft had gone co-op, withdrawn from genocide, removed telemetry, and like half a dozen other things, due to a change in leadership, I’d also not hold that future Microsoft as at fault for current Microsoft.

    I also don’t hold Volkswagen responsible for the Holocaust, presently. Just the emissions fraud (and maybe more that I can’t currently recall).

    See but I’ve never heard Nintendo supporting genocide actively.

    Like, yes, they’re a corporation, they love money, they do stupid things to get money, but they’re not doing nearly the same shit as other companies I hate.

    Or if they are, I haven’t heard of it, it’s all been game key cards.

    The game key card thing feels like a clinton-blowjob level scandal while some other people are doing a whole genocide.

    Am I missing something?

    No it was “God doesn’t make mistakes, therefore you must deserve to suffer.”

    But that’s also what ive heard from Christians about anything gay/trans. They dont say its fake, they say god made things the way they are on purpose and those urges and desires are temptations. They make it into a test of their faith.

    “Oh you have CF? You must have sinned a lot.” (My friend, who is atheist) “yeah, actually. Dont really care though”. “Oh well if you pray every day and atone and blah blah God will save you, hes just waiting for you to reach out to him.”

    “Oh you wanna dress like a girl? No no, this is a test, god wants to know you’re faithful. Repent for these thoughts and pray every day and atone […]”.

    Any failures or faults are sin, at least with the Christians I know in my area. Gay, trans, genetic disorders, cancer, whatever.

    So these ones, at least, admit gay/trans people exist. One of them even openly admitted to having those urges “once” but said he prayed the gay away.

    I got a strong feeling he secretly hates himself in a few ways. The alcoholism was a big hint.

    The short of it is “It’s not a mistake if it’s a test.”



  • Nah its cool factorio guy doesn’t HAVE to leave.

    No pollution, no biters.

    Very doable.

    Just find an island, 100 stone for 2 landfill, and get to the island by picking up a landfill behind you and placing it in front of you.

    You have eternity, so take trips off your island to mine things by hand, craft things by hand, etc.

    Eternity awaits.





  • They used it to create potions and spells that are equivalent to the medical industry, as well as the beauty industry, sports, frivolous things like that.

    It’s implied serious research goes on, but never really shown.

    There’s also wizard versions of cops, and government officials, naturally.

    Magical knowledge replaces engineering and math as well. A civil engineer’s building design equivalent would be a series of complicated spells put on a small building to make it a massive one inside.

    Also in the books, Hogwarts was really only secret to the muggles, every wizard in Britain knows where it is.

    But imagine all the high schoolers who complain "why do I need to learn algebra, I won’t even need it in [job]. It’s like that. Some won’t need it, but it’s still a useful skill.


  • Yeah that’s right. No routers needed.

    All local wireless gameplay on the DS is the same ad-hoc networking, too. Some games, like Mario kart, could use ds download play which is the same thing but a host would send over full game data before playing, too.

    The 3ds also used it for local streetpass.

    Nintendo experimented with it a bunch, honestly, although I always felt it was relatively unexploited in the ways they did. DS download was cool though because it was a mobile console’s split-screen gameplay, instead of selling you 4 games to let 4 people play.



  • If you can keep tabs on other people, I like to get hotels, watch someone scramble to match me (trading at a loss to get a set, mortgaging everything else, etc) so they don’t hemorrhage money to me, then downgrading to houses just before they cross me.

    Only actually pulled this off a few times, but the pain in their voice as they were forced to sell their hotel, just barely, to pay rent, but had to downgrade straight to nothing, and they know I have all the houses now, that’s even sweeter than just getting the houses in the first place.

    Once someone teased me a property giving me a second set, so they’d have a first, only for me to do this to them after getting lucky and getting the browns to hoard houses on. Quick game, no one was happy.

    Sidenote: winner picks up is a role in my household. Gives the losers a way to go “ha ha” and helps keeps bad feelings at the game table and not afterwards.
