While I don’t trust Valve in the slightest when it comes to hardware, I do hope we see higher quality when it comes to this drifting issue. My Xbox Pro Controller (first series), has a bad drift issue.
I am all on board for the Kumbaya between Microsoft and Nintendo. Xbox/PC + Nintendo is just such a rewarding combination and it’s made better by how positive they are towards one another.
@Kb111 I’ll start by saying that I strongly disagree with your perspective. That being said, I’m not here to debate or argue because that would waste your time and my own. I just want to point out that using Agent Smith in the way you just did doesn’t work like you think it does.
@Mountain_Man Again, no. All this has to do with hiring is to make sure that the people hiring like myself are aware of any internal biases they may have. Such as skipping a candidate because their name sounds “too ethnic”, or skipping over a candidate because of where they come from, or if I saw them with a same-sex partner on social media, saw that they were a certain religion, etc.
These companies are just ensuring that when decisions are made, they’re made from a human place of consideration rather than apply expectations that may not consider the different trials and factors working alongside an employee every day.
It’s just a policy telling people to leave their baggage at the door and treat people with respect.
@Mountain_Man As the lead recruiter of a company that is taking these matters seriously, I can assure you that you could not be more incorrect about the point of DEI initiatives. It isn’t affirmative action. It barely has anything to do with hiring new people as much as it has to do with making sure the BEST people already there are happy and valued at work. It really is that simple and isn’t some convoluted social experiment like people are assuming. The largest insurance corporation in the world has been doing this since the 90s and I guarantee it has had nothing but a positive effect on their talent, retention, and multi-billion dollar portfolio.
@Mountain_Man No. The point is that the right qualified person can bring their A Game and focus on making great products without juvenile nonsense about their identity being brought up or highlighted negatively. Treat people with respect = cultivate an atmosphere to develop great games.
@Ryan_Again Telling people to leave their personal BS biases at the door and treat everyone like a human being in the work place is.... virtue signaling?
Since when is being told to act like an adult virtue signaling?
@mariomaster96 To be fair, most of us at least have an idea when we are young. There are plenty of examples of individuals knowing and living their fullest even at a young age. I... was not brave enough to do that lol
I purchased a portable 1080p ASUS monitor for work since I have to go to different locations and need my dual screen action. The advert for it included an image of a switch connected to it.
@Kalmaro To be fair, vaccine shortage is not an issue in the United States so that’s not a valid reason at this point. They wouldn’t be giving out freebies as incentive if that were the case. Also, getting this vaccine isn’t just for your individual health, but for the courtesy and appreciation for the lives of others around you.
@Gabaz09 Nintendo platforms have offered adult material, pornography, abusive language, graphic violence, etc. for decades. I would have hoped you were a responsible parent long before you decided to post this drivel.

Re: Blizzard Has Officially Renamed Overwatch's McCree
I know this isn’t a surprise, but the Twitter comments on this are down right dumb and shocking.
Re: Nintendo Leaker Suggests Pricing Of Switch Online's Expansion Pack Could Be Tied To "Licensing Costs"
Considering 7 people and I share a family plan, I couldn’t care less about what is only going to be $10 for me.

This list is painful.
Re: Talking Point: Every Pre-BOTW 3D Zelda Now Has A Remake, But Which Is Best?
Wind Waker HD is definitely my favorite. Skyward Sword had the largest hurdle to get over and I feel like they did with the Switch version.
Re: Random: Ed Boon Responds To Mortal Kombat X Street Fighter Requests
I would love to see another injustice. Add Lord Drakkon as a bonus character and I would be thrilled lol

Re: Zelda & Loftwing amiibo Impacted By "Unforeseen Shipping Delays" In The US
Locking a QOL upgrade behind a $25 piece of plastic that they didn’t didn’t produce enough of is trash.
Re: Soapbox: Could Switch OLED Actually Make A Reality Of Nintendo's Cheesy Tabletop Dream?
Honestly? Just the damn kickstand alone would make that more realistic.

Re: Nintendo Underlines Its Commitment To Diversity And Inclusivity
@DDFawfulGuy literally no. Nintendo is just adopting policies to make sure everyone is happy and safe at work.

@PBandSmelly Amen. There are things that are being posted here that can get people ultimately killed.
Re: Long Beach Residents Could Win A Nintendo Switch When They Get Their Covid-19 Vaccine
@Kalmaro Hmm. Not sure where you live, but most states are desperate to get shots in arms and have huge surplus.
