i'm into that. you've earned my approvalpterrus wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 2:30 amI am not sure this is true but even if it didn't work I feel better about myself when I take principled stances and it's easy to take a principled stance about something that is already marginal like spending $300 plus to play a few video games I vaguely think I might enjoy.

wow, [you]. that all sounds terrible. i hope it gets better for you
Re: It's Video Game News
I feel pretty confident stating that every company worth over a billion dollars has done lots of bad things. Companies worth over a trillion dollars I'm sure regularly do terrible things.
Re: It's Video Game News
But the reason you shouldn't buy a Switch is because the Switch is a terrible console which unfortunately has a few decent games for it, that would be way better if they weren't on Switch.

I work for Amazon now. If it helps, you can pretend the money you spend is feeding my familypterrus wrote:I have never given Apple a dime. I am not aware of anything Google has done that is worth feeling bad about using them but I am prepared to accept that I am ignorant about this. Amazon I kind of do feel bad about using but that is mostly my wife.s. goblin wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 1:51 am but hey if you don't want to support nintendo because of a switch tournament thing that is mired in business nonsense that's cool, but i hope that also extends to not supporting google and apple who are actually doing human harm..? one could also argue amazon also

how do you live with yourself
Re: It's Video Game News
Specifically I'm a software engineer in Amazon Business, and I work on a system that helps generate prospects and get more information about our customers. And by customers I mean businesses not humans. I think it would bother me if we were gathering data on individuals.

Dictators are not a universal bad. Good dictators who genuinely care about their subjects can be, and historically were, extremely effective. The problem is that it is not possible for a system of dictatorship to guarantee good dictators. (Good kings have shitty sons sometimes, or are deposed). And bad dictators are VERY bad.s. goblin wrote: ↑Thu Dec 01, 2022 2:18 amcan we arrive on some universal bads like supporting a dictator is probably just bad, right. not a lot of grey there.Rylinks wrote:apple has done a lot of things and different people consider differnt things terrible so i wanted to know which ones you're looking at here

Yeah I don't even play Smash and I've heard about this, it's a big deal, internet nerd-wise.
Re: It's Video Game News
Someone want to give me the TLDR, so I know who to hate?
Pour like Hemingway's last call.
Re: It's Video Game News
well Smash players, obviously, that's kind of a given
that said, this time it's not them doing the terrible things. Basically Nintendo revoked all of Smash World Tour's licenses for no reason, meaning they can't host Smash events. Their competitor, Panda gets all the licenses they want though, so people are saying (probably correctly) that Panda did some secret skullduggery with Nintendo to make them deny licenses to SWT.

Re: It's Video Game News
you wanna hate Panda here, and more specifically Panda's CEO
Re: It's Video Game News
I am now irrationally angry. I want to skin a panda and wear it's head as a hat.
