Re: Student Sells $80k Pokémon Card Collection To Pay For University

Khalic

@Dog sorry i should have explained I come from switzerland. Public university here costs around 1000$ equivalent per year. This fee can be waived for good reasons (limited income, etc.). Parents are obligated to pay for the fees and basic needs, as long as they can afford it and as long as the kid doesn’t have a formation or around 25yo (need to check that part). In case there are no parents, no money, or any other reason, social security kicks in, or the kid can get a state sponsored scholarship. No need to repay these. So it’s not free, but no need to sell a kidney.
The logic is, these kids will give back way more money than what they cost.

Re: Soapbox: Video Game Injuries Are No Laughing Matter

Sorry to hear about your injury. I was lucky enough to have a very good chiropractor living next to me who thought me how to correctly stretch my hands (and my back) twice a day every day, and stretch during long gaming sessions. Helped me avoid it for now. Took me an inflammation of both wrists and an incapacity to play games for a week to make me take things seriously. Back pain is no joke either.

Re: Overwatch Director Reminds Us Which Hero He Would Like To See In Smash Bros.

You’re not giving devs a hard time, they get their check, go to work (if they still have it). It’s the guys upstairs that have their bank account directly linked to sales numbers.

I agree the devs made a great game and it’s killing me not to play it on the switch or any of my consoles. And I won’t criticise people for playing it.

But not playing/buying the game is a measured response, it’s non aggressive and can be very effective. Don’t believe the BS about « cancel culture ».

But there need to be red lines, and blizzard crossed a lot of them.

No thanks, Blizzard’s brown nosing to the CCP, firing people when they make their best financial results in years, doesn’t listen to its fans (nobody wants overwatch 2). Stay away from them nintendo.

@nessisonett to the rescue of the poor multimillionaires who are treated unfairly.

Don’t imply people are hypocrites because they aren’t criticising every one in this industry. The article is about blizzard and nintendo. Stay on topic, whataboutism is a strategy for the morally bankrupt.

It’s good for everyone to have critical thinking, even more now that the CCP pissed on international law so many times theses last years.
