Take your time, real-life shit always takes priorities. I had most of the day off so I was able to fart around or else I would be in the same boat as you. I’ll be around to help you with seeing reality and developing proper analysis skills when you’re free and ready lol.

Wow, didn’t think you would take the victim stance so hard. Just to be clear, you’re saying I didn’t reply to you but I need to take my arrogant stance somewhere else? The instigator of this argument is telling me I’m antagonistic? hahahaha

You can lie all you want about your big-boy pants, the proof is in the pudding when you show your immaturity. You can’t even get the basics of this discussion right. “not only are you underselling the nintendo switch emulator, you are overselling emulators like dolphin etc.” if you don’t see the dichotomy you’ve created I don’t know how to solve what’s obviously a lifetime learning problem.

Let’s see, was there anything else you actually said? Hmm, now 34.17 is acceptably 34 but not 35 when budgeting bills, idk wtf you’re doing now. More company defending… made up anecdotal shit about your life I don’t believe… and you still don’t understand how subscription services work.

You can’t see the point of Netflix enshittification so you’re lost there, you think creators are being fairly compensated for the games on the nintendo emulator… lol it’s getting harder to address the BS as this goes on.

I don’t know how many times I can say this just for you to come back all huffy puffy again. “will pay for something if i find its more convenient. I dont care about paying,” Tell me more how you’re paying a monthly subscription for a free emulator and a mario kart expansion… 4 years, woah. That’s really just mindblowing. Let’s cut the bullshit and actually give real world examples.

NINTENDO SWITCH FAMILY PLAN - $79.99 yearly subscription (FROM THE WEBSITE) (86$ish x 4= $344!)

Do You Keep DLC After Expansion Pack Expires?

No, absolutely not. When your Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack membership expires, you lose access to all included DLC, N64 games, Genesis games, and other content. You‘ll have 180 days after expiration to renew your membership and regain access to everything. But after 180 days, all of that content gets permanently removed unless you purchase the Expansion Pack subscription again. It‘s designed as a continual service rather than a one-time add-on purchase. You only keep the extra content as long as you keep paying for it.

Is the Expansion Pack Worth the Cost?

the value depends heavily on how much you actually play the included N64 and Genesis games. Many criticize these retro game libraries as lacking depth and variety, especially compared to Xbox Game Pass. You can also purchase Switch DLCs individually without the bundled Expansion Pack subscription. Here are normal prices for the major DLCs it includes:

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe – Booster Course Pass: $24.99

Buying these one by one costs only $70 altogether – already less than a year of the subscription. And you‘ll own them permanently rather than temporarily renting with a subscription.

Your cost/benefit analysis is biased and flawed. Like you glossed over before, here are some examples of handheld emulators you won’t lose when you decide to stop paying. They have more games and will last longer, better companies and progressive consumerism (I’m advocating for positive consumerism, not blind purchases). Best part is you’ll actually save some money in the long run, I think we can stop pretending now that other people in the plan and your children are helping pay the bill at this point lol.

edit: format

Man you kinda just suck at this and have completely proven my point. You don’t round bills down… have you done a budget before like a big boy? I can’t even take you seriously when you dance around some numbers bullshit lol. You’re paying for a monthly service to play a free emulator, justify it all you want.

I never replied to you, @samus12345@lemm.ee is who I replied too. You’ve decided to jump in and talk about BOTW lol

I literally linked you the exact program for the nintendo switch emulator, which you’ve paid hundreds of dollars for the “portability” of taking an emulator off a desktop (congrats! I don’t think it’s ever been done before…oh wait). The glitch shit just is false dichotomy that you’re stretching for.

Funny you mentioned Netflix but unironically used it as a positive example!!! Even though it’s enshittification and current state promotes piracy!!! hahaha and then just completely blow over the fact that yes…the first game was just removed a few days ago, and the version before literally lost a bunch of great games (do you really not get the message? You don’t own the game, they are not required to keep letting you play it)

It’s obvious you’re a happy-mindless consumer, everything you’ve said points more negative light on exactly why I wouldn’t pay for the service. You don’t think Nintendo is a good company, you think they’re greedy and aggressive, yet you’re completely ok with doing business with them. I think it’s a shit company with a shit service and you’re getting ripped off in more ways than one (financially,morally,technologically,socially).

If you’re actually serious about being a real consumer, put your money towards actual companies and developers you can feel good about. Here’s some examples listed, the best part is they’re not going to keep showing up every month to collect money from you! I guarantee you, your family would remember an awesome product from one of those companies 10x more than just playing a dumb ol’ switch like every pleb. Really just trying to give them the most basic corporate experience in life eh?

edit: you’re-your

Good lord, you’re actually gonna come down and try to defend your actions like some kind of corporate propagandist. Fucking sad really how you’ve got it all twisted. SOMEONE IS PAYING FOR THE SERVICE! I don’t care how many people are listed and aren’t using it, YOU’RE STILL PAYING FOR A YEARLY SUBSCRIPTION FOR A FUCKING ONLINE EMULATOR. Where the fuck was a lie made? Care to misrepresent some more shit?

It’s 4.17 not 5? I should take that as my first clue you’re not serious. People round up to 5 for meals all the time, this is such a strange thing to start on.

Nintendo confirms Switch Online retro game removal in US and Europe

Responding to the news on X, former PlatinumGames co-founder and current Clovers Studio founder Hideki Kamiya – who regularly posts about his love of classic games – criticised the move, asking for the return of the Virtual Console service, which was available on Wii, Wii U and 3DS and allowed individual games to be bought.

“Hey hey hey, I guess subscriptions are no good after all,” Kamiya wrote. “Seriously, bring back the Virtual Console… don’t be so mean.”

It should also be noted that numerous retro games were delisted from Virtual Console over the years too, including Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Yoshi’s Cookie, Pitfall: The Mayan Adventure, Aleste, SimCity, Street Fighter II, Final Fight 1-3, Super Turrican 2 and Super R-Type.

for 1-6, you’re paying a rental subscription service to play an emulator… just type emulator into a search engine, go to one of the hundreds of sites. Hell, go to archive.org and get the official nintendo online emulator pack.

Here’s your mariokart, here’s your banjo.

Guess what?!?! I’m not gonna charge you a fucking penny and I’m not gonna log onto your device and remove your data!! You’re welcome!!

(don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about BOTW for, it was an example that nintendo is making shittier products and can’t be relied upon anymore if their flagship game can’t even run properly on the console, keep making an ass of yourself though)

cough amiibo cough

seriously though, Nintendo knows what they’re doing with their new limited scarcity tactics with trying to stay relevant. I think you’ll be able to find physical SNES games easier than switch 2 games in 30 years.

person just unironically said they pay nintendo 5 bucks a month for the privilege to play a curated list of 40 year old games you can quite literally find anywhere online. That’s 60$ a year to access an emulator they probably have less than 10 hours of playtime on. There’s just really no justification for Nintendo anymore, BOTW broke me and I had to be talked into it.

See, that whole entire thought process just doesn’t hold me prisoner anymore like it used to.

If you want the capital to survive (buying a car is survival in most places) or to try and get ahead, you must pay more capital than you have. If the banks don’t make money this way, the poor and middle class will fail.

I don’t think this is true economical theory anymore. It’s corrupted greed that’s overtaken institutionally in every facet of life including academia. It’s like saying nuclear war is the best peace keeping practice.

I try to reply instead of downvoting, healthier for discourse and sometimes opens up new perspectives from others. I also try not to abandon conversations (though I have hundreds in my inbox I haven’t gotten to).

I don’t appreciate the shift in trying to pin me with your own thoughts so probably best to end the chain, but I’ll still validate and not argue your experience because it is art (begrudgingly admitted) and you are human.

I’ll just blanket reply @Snowclone@lemmy.world and @nahostdeutschland@feddit.org here since it’s all basically the same response I’m getting with attempts at insults sprinkled in.

I guess I’m reiterating, “This is a shit comic that does nothing for anyone but the creator getting rageclicks.” It’s the difference between Dane Cook or George Carlin stand up, punching up or punching down, etc. “656 anti trans bills” (please actually link useful facts snowclown 1,2) This comic didn’t bring up a single one of them, or their authors or their districts where efforts could be made to make progressive movements.

but again, I’m critiquing the comic and it’s attempt at … being something? I suppose I feel it’s more harmful than helpful, helps incite more rage than awareness. It’s an absurd scenario in which a maga person looking at this “knows” they wouldn’t stab someone so they can shrug off the hyperbole (while still supporting politicians that undermine transrights). On the progressive side we just have bullshit political polarization.

There’s deeper conversations and fundamentals to get into which can be debated but irregardless my only gripe is “it’s a lazy comic taking easy swings at low hanging fruit that just further muddies the water instead of progressing anything”. I think if you’re going to be faux-edgy, you should probably stay out of making such direct political statement cartoons.

I think I can explain the bad taste the comic leaves in my mouth regarding politics (and generally a lot of the discussion). It’s not that everything isn’t politics, it’s that everything is being framed as “two-sided politics”, black/white, red/blue. An argument can be made that with “the system”(america), yes voting action can be viewed that way. But it’s subjugating the entire conversation 100% of the time.

For instance, what policy is this comic critiquing and bringing awareness too? It feels like the lowest effort-bottom of the barrel attempt at a political cartoon for the clicks and ragebait. It’s not calling attention to any individuals or organizations involved, it’s a satirical stabbing for communities that are really hurting.

It might help if you included, like, any real information at all since this is so important and meaningful to you. Or just keep raging into the night like a lunatic lol.

Since you’re using different statistics to compare and come to a conclusion, can I ask what you’re getting the “breed numbers” from? @Empricorn@feddit.nl has been throwing around the dogbite site but I wouldn’t go off that number.

Breed survey 2019: more puppies, yet fewer homes for pit bulls, by Merritt Clifton, Animals 24-7, July 9, 2019 (animals24-7.org). The most recent calculation by the nonprofit was completed in July 2019. Breed populations are determined annually by searching classified ad listings of dogs for sale. The last 3-year average of the total pit bull population is 8% (8.0% in 2017, 8.0% in 2018 and 7.9% in 2019) and the 10-year cumulative average (2010 to 2019) is 5.8% | View chart

Even all the things I’m seeing online like the American Kennel club don’t actually track realistic numbers

Every year the American Kennel Club releases our ranking of the most popular dog breeds based on AKC registration statistics for the previous year.

It just kinda gets worse from there

According to the AVMA, 23% of dog owners acquired their dogs from breeders, while only 7% of cat owners did.

According to ASPCA, almost 40% of dog owners and 46% of cat owners got their pets from word of mouth. U.S. households get dogs and kitties from these sources:

Shelters 23% and 31%
Friends/Family 20% and 28%
Breeders 34% and 3%
Stray pets 6% and 27%
Private 12% and 6%
Other sources, 32% and 39%

So I doubt you’re getting accurate numbers since the data just isn’t tracked. Just like all of these “facts”, it’s being heavily skewed and misrepresented. Hell, even EMpricorn’s “INSURANCE WEBSITE link” (it’s literally a fucking ad for pet insurance) just outright dismisses all this shit with the back and forth word salad

Abuse and mistreatment can play a large role in a dog’s aggression, and pit bulls are often subjected to such conditions. In situations like this, dogs learn to be aggressive and will bite humans as a result. However, studies have shown that pit bulls’ aggression is largely due to their living conditions, and they aren’t necessarily naturally dangerous dogs.

While many pit bulls can be held responsible for dog bites, it’s also worth noting that their reputation makes people quick to blame the breed. Other dog breeds have similar physical features as pit bulls, so people assume that’s what they are.

Jesus that’s sad. Everyone holding your hand trying to walk you down this path of actually learning about how research and science is performed and how to look into a source and you still just decide to spew nonsense.

I hope you learn to walk on your own one day. Don’t stop reading and looking into sources just because you found something you like. All of your shit is crappy research that the authors conclude is bad data. It’s why the precious dogbite.org focuses on a 1970-99 cdc study, a media review study for statistics slaps forehead.

It’s obvious this meme brought in a lot of people who love to classify “undesirables” and a few willing to put up with the misinformation to actually try and teach someone how to do proper research without just “believing” from a few misquoted or misguided articles. I saw at least one person doing the work and realized your links and claims were bullshit so something was accomplished I suppose.

would the smaller queen lay smaller eggs and thus smaller face huggers though?

I always get confused for a few moments when I see these dog breed/ghetto hatred comments, but then I realize it’s just steeped in closeted racism/classism. It’s really sad.

edit: should check out @moonpiedumplings@programming.dev’s comment here. Basically has done the work and narrates what someone actually researching and looking at studies would find if you do it correctly.

Are acquaintances allowed to the butt party?

Just for anyone reading along and thinking it’s safe, there are huge caveats that people are leaving out which is a disservice to our fellow lemmers (lemmyers? Lemmiets? Lemlets?).

• Older wastewater systems and even some newer regulated and “up to code” systems do not factor in wipes. They are designed with human waste and toiletpaper ONLY.

• Wipe manufacturers categorize and regulate themselves for “flushable”.

• You’ll be hard pressed to find anything “Scientific” unless it comes from BIGWIPES ^tm.

Unless you’ve paid an engineer and state institutions to design and approve a new system which you’ve installed that takes into account the difference in “wipes materials” (of which all those materials need to be regulated as well, state coding approval for all steps of the manufacturing and QA), you’re never going to find any official/professional who would legally make themselves liable for the efficacy of that system by saying “flush wipes”.

Beyond that, go dig up and open your septic tank lid. Every single one I’ve exposed has wipes in it. “But they used the wrong wipes”, yeah… but you can’t use the wrong toilet paper. No one is going to say use wipes because they know the result will be people using shitty wipes eventually (or the manufacturer changes its product).

Flushable doesn’t mean it’s biodegradable. Biodegradable doesn’t mean it’s meant to break down in a septic tank. Even it breaks down is a huge connotation on time/material and if it’s even processable or just sits there till it has to get pumped, meaning more expensive pumps, more often (your septic tank just becomes a “big wipes bin” that you have to pay to have removed).

I mean the whole “Septic Tank” debate itself is fucking hilarious. You’re just saying “it’s safe!”, how many gallons is the tank rated for? How many occupants are using the system? Is there any type of effluent filter or pump? What kind of drop do your pipes have? How many wipes are you using per flush? It’s such a ridiculous thing to just hand wave, sure you flush your shit and someone said, “go ahead! (extra pump$ for me!)”. Drop your scientific shit articles (well it’s about poop and flushing after all), I need something to read on the shitter anyways.

no no, they need to use flush-able wipes and FLUSH EVERY SINGLE ONE DOWN.

I strangely find enjoyment out of 100% something and I’m not currently the main player (mostly help my partner out in the difficult spots, collect items for upgrades and restock equipment). If it was just me I probably would’ve lost interest a while ago.

You’re absolutely right about the assets. The variety was baffling, we wondered if they were able to import a large library or if considerable time was taken modeling all of it. Would explain a lot for the development, and our hopes is that everything can just be carried over to the next installment so other areas of the game can be concentrated on.
