“Physical copies” is a big ask, considering they would also have to be selling the hardware to run those games.

To your credit, they aren’t actually selling most of their back catalog anymore, since their e-shops that sold games for the WiiU/3DS are closed down, and with them, the Virtual Console died. Now we’ve only got a subscription-based library to play a much more limited selection of old games.

Either way, it’s not Nintendo’s fault you pirate games. You want to play old games, and you don’t want to pay too much money for them, so you pirate them. Let’s be real.

Ah, so if they just provide training to members of the Ukrainian military, then everything’s fine in Putin’s eyes? Loopholes are great

My attitude isn’t going to matter if we all die. Neither will yours, lol

[…] gamble the future of humanity over western hegemonic interests

…I thought this was about Ukraine fighting back against the country that’s been invading it

That could make sense. I’m not familiar enough with military weaponry to know how true it all is

Ah, I might’ve mixed it up with threatening or insinuating nuclear war.

Either way, it just seems like more sabre-rattling. Also, it’s not something that the US is doing, it’s something that Putin’s being a pansy about.

Russia claiming X means war with NATO has been a bit of a recurring theme throughout the war.

Thank you! I read most of the first one and skimmed the second – I don’t get why they strikes would need to be done by NATO personnel.

Both articles allude to the fact that Putin considers it to be an attack by NATO because they’d be NATO-supplied weapons, but given his track record, he’d probably say anything more than turning a blind eye is an offense by NATO.

I hadn’t heard that. Do you have a source for that?

Does this fit the sub? What word is mistaken?

It still makes me sad that Bruce Dickenson was Pro-Brexit.

Your question is confusing, but I think the answer is…

Racist people heard something. Racist people think it’s a fact. Racist people extrapolate from that thing they heard and assume the extrapolation is also a fact.

Who did Israel endorse?

Implying that game cases end up in the trash… especially when they’re usually used to hold games these days?

You need to see more game collections! Haha

People have been deriding digital-only games for years and years now. While a stupid F2P game isn’t the best thing to put on a disc, I can see why people might want it.

It’s weird, but it makes sense when you’re used to it. Z can be a bit awkward, though. Having the face buttons all be different shapes is a great plus imo.

If you have some sort of decent antivirus/antimalware like Malwarebytes, that would work for standalone applications to an extent.

Browser extensions are a lot harder to check.

Always make sure you get the RIGHT extension from the PROPER SOURCE. Same with most downloads and app store stuff on your mobile devices, but at least with executables, you can additionally run virus scans for some peace of mind.

Some tips…

• Always make sure you’re accessing the extension’s download/install page from a trusted source.
• Check reviews AND READ THEM. Make sure they don’t look suspicious/bot-generated.
• Consider what permissions you’re giving the extension. Your browser has a lot of personal and sensitive information… including the “keys” to a lot of your accounts. Basically any website that you don’t need to sign into every time you access it? That “key” is stored in your browser.

I believe you can generally trust what permissions an extension or app needs (since the browser/device knows which permission an extension/app uses, and locks them away otherwise), but be wary of the implications of some of them (such as data from other websites, or accessibility features).

This controller is probably the daddy of the original Xbox controller, and the GameCube controller (N64 is the mother there).

It was probably more comfortable than the Xbox one, and looked cooler than the GC one, but the GC controller wins in comfort.

What he’s advocating is his literal words are sound deranged so he must be joking speaking figuratively?

Yeah, that’s usually how that works.

I think you might be taking his words too literally

Sounds similar to where I live. The busybodies can be annoying, and fraud (etc.) can be a problem. But I won’t let perfect be the enemy of good to my opinion.

You’ll have a hard time convincing me that his plan is to kill anyone who smokes in his hospital.

Not only does it go against the whole point of a hospital, it’s probably very illegal for him to kill anyone that way, and I wouldn’t be surprised if some of his top staff are smokers. Not to mention that there’d have to be multiple people in on it during the installation and usage.
