Everyone is doing this, partially to stop AI scrapers and bots. It's a bit weird on an "about" page, but welcome to 2025 and the dead internet.

I hope they keep it this time, I'm tired of seeing these, and then "oh, MS gave us a great deal soooo"

This is the goal. I just need a lot of money, it's not cheap to live light in this country

Not a leftie, but D) Spouse of a citizen should be a citizen. How is this even a fucking question.

Ofc not, I'm asking why they didn't just release a collection like Sega did, or like Nintendo has done in the past.
Releasing a "classics" collection in the first few months of the switch would have been such an easy move.

Though, contextually (and more importantly), pointing out that the switch 2 doesn't just have to compete against a similar device with a mammoth array of games... but one with all of nintendo's games, too.

It varies from game to game, as you'd expect. I can play pokemon multi-player without requiring a link cable, for example, but I can't speak to other games I haven't played much (like smash brothers or mariokart). If you mean games in general on the steamdeck, I find gog games and randos like Doom and Diablo multiplayer works just fine.

But it's impossible for a human on the internet to like more than 1 thing at a time!

You very politely missed the #1 point... I can already play every single nintendo game I've ever bought on my steamdeck. Right now. With no subscription, just simply uploading from my GBA/DS/3DS/Switch to my Steamdeck... Nintendo for reasons completely lost to me refuses to allow that. Like, wth are they even doing over there to not have solved that issue day 1 on the switch.

It does what now? Why would it do that?

[–] miguel@fedia.io 22 points 3 months ago

Finding books. I have no idea why I do that, when there's a bookstore I really enjoy right across the lot from me, but i'll literally browse book reviews for 30 mins before wandering over there and just... buying whatever looks good.

Total waste of time, I didn't value the opinions of the reviewers in the first place, and the process is always inconclusive.

Some good albums there!

I just went with independent, which removes me from the "primaries", but also removed me from all the non-stop text messages and phone calls begging for money to support a party that does little more than shrug non-committaly.
So, no? I'm from the US, I don't really get a choice in ISP, phone network, or political representative, but boy I sure do get to pick from a number of different cereals.

I am more active at the very local level, though, which seems to be the only place an individual can have impact.
