Really? *****.

Europe is an interesting curio with its white Kirby, but the Japanese design looks like something exploding, so that's an easy win.

@BAN If you're doubling down then I suppose you really do think that the point you're making is a good one?

I'm not in the mood, but I'll do you a favour.

When you mockingly point out that I cannot opt out of the whole capitalist system and still be part of this conversation, you are making my point for me. Of course you have to work with the prevailing system in order to live, even if you can barely earn enough to scrape by.

Gameplay testers trade hours and hours of their lives for ***** pay and conditions. As a human being with empathy, I think that sucks.

So if you find yourself in that position, what can you do? Move to a city where testers are paid better? Retrain? For a lot of people those are not options. For example, if you're low paid, you may well not have the means to.

So should they not have trained as testers in the first place? Perhaps. But then the fault is on the dishonest person who took their money to train them for an oversubscribed job where they'd be exploited. I bet that wasn't part of the sales pitch. And anyway, that doesn't help our tester now.

So do they abandon their testing career and get an entry level job in a different field? I guess that's what they're having to do, but those entry level jobs are going to be just as crappy. There's always someone who's a dollar more desperate than you, so it's a race to the bottom. That's the system you're defending.

So now what? Your suggestion is to not participate in the capitalist economy at all if it's so bad? Yeah, like you say: Good luck with that. The status quo is very well protected by laws and social pressure. If you ran off and lived in the woods you'd probably end up arrested for something, and it's hardly the dignified existence we're seeking.

So we're all stuck in this exploitative system, and you mock folks for complaining about it on a website that happens to exist under capitalism? My dude, the system doesn't need you to enforce it. You're being chumped into volunteering for it.

@Rambler Holy crap! Did you just call @PharoneTheGnome a wowser??

Ehhh probably not. I think I need to get some more sleep.

@Flint My apologies then. Have a lovely evening.

@Flint Have I got the wrong end of the stick, or are you really accusing outlets that run articles about abusive employers of being stooges for Russia?

@BAN "Yet you participate in society! Curious! I am very intelligent."

Know your meme.

@PcTV But regulation inhibits the flow of capital and distorts the free market! What are you? Some kind of feudalist?

@SuperCharr ***** if I know. I've read the whole thing and not found it. But it's got to be there hasn't it?

@Leuke
> I think an N64 mini is pretty unlikely

It will probably happen one day, but in these days of chip shortage getting the power on board to emulate an N64 isn't quite cheap enough.

@Caryslan
> A GBA Mini on the other hand would be a day one purchase for me.

Isn't that called a GBA?

Or you could get an Anerbic and then you'll have the lot.

Three!

Wow, Threeeeeeeeeeeee!

How many Nimons have you seen today?

It would be a real downer to discover that Nintendo are on a par with Activision or Ubisoft, and I'm hoping it isn't as bad as that. Time will tell, I suppose.

There's something about the proportions, and the eyes, and even the framing of that logo image, that screams "predatory mobile game; keep away!" It's not that I'm averse to chibi or chibi-like styles (I'm on record defending the Diamond and Pearl remakes) but something about that image screams a warning of a bad time.

"Konami actually makes a damn game" would be news. This is not news.

My problem with StS was that I first picked it up after having played Griftlands, which is simply superior.

@Anti-Matter If we go around calling all brands of Nintendos Nintendos, then a bunch of shop assistants will say "... 😑" for a few weeks until they're used to it. I'm not really seeing any major problems there.

Or, on the other hand, ***** them.

1. If IP law is so terrible that the way people use language can affect companies' trade marks, then the law, as we already know, is a complete ass.

2. I am not inclined to co-operate with Nintendo's highly destructive legal arm. ***** those *****. Seriously.

A plot with proper baddies.

@Ear_wiG I want little moons now.

I hate Facebook but I'm afraid to wish ill on them. If they fail, and they scuttle the company, some even sketchier monster will buy up all that data.

After all those stability patches?

Finally some good news!

@aznable ...or at least wait for the reviews! The more they push the pre-orders, the less they want you to see reviews.

I want to make sure there's no NFT nonsense in this Square Enix effort before I go anywhere near it.

@godofwarj5 Genuinely not seeing anything to be excited about.

Triangle strat was perhaps the most appealing thing here for me, but how can anyone not be Octopathed out by this point? Also: ***** Square Enix and their NFT *****.

I'm enjoying my first ever playthrough of Chrono Trigger at the moment.

Really not excited for any of these. Hope there are some interesting indies this year to hold up these boring tentpoles.

....aaaaaand we've given a stupid game more attention.

The eShop is a mess. It's worse than Steam in a lot of ways.

We who know where to find trustworthy reviews and release guides don't have to use its worst features, but the Not-We are getting shafted: Missing out on the better games, buying awful dreck instead.

Nintendo should be embarrassed by it.

@Kevember Nah you can do really evil things that ruin people's lives without getting violent.

@Spider-Kev Exactly. If I buy a Switch I should be allowed to hack it. It's mine. If he invents a thing for modding Switches, I should be allowed to buy it, same as buying a screwdriver. It's only when I decide to use my hacked Switch to steal something that I've done anything immoral.

Sucks that the law apparently doesn't see it that way.

More homebrew-busting stability! Better download mine before I get the wobbles.

I reckon when they've got their ducks in a row a switch launch could be a huge event that will reinvigorate Fall Guys.

Meh, I actually don't care. Why not, if it saves production costs? Who does it hurt?

Commenting here because there are a few games I wouldn't mind coming back to.

Looks delightful!

@hakjie11 Half life 3 confirmed 20XX.

Ubisoft can get in the sea. I wasn't going to buy anything of theirs anyway, and this strengthens my resolve.

All we've had out of Ubisoft for their years of systemic sexual harassment and cover ups has been a half assed apology. They're not getting any of my money.

Too expensive. No thanks.

@Rosalinho Who would have thought that dog fighting was bad for the soul?

Meh. The best thing about the Switch Oled is that I don't feel any temptation to upgrade. I'll save my money for a new set of joy cons.

@Iggy-Koopa I'd rather have it for free. Don't you think the game is expensive enough?

They want us to pay extra for this? Lol.

"Simply buy a switch" is tw** advice.

@Wexter No need to get cross, you've got it all your way. Current mickey mouse copyright law (Google it) is under no threat from people like me. Save your ammunition for fights you can't win by just ignoring them.
