your options are shite and I refuse them all is a valid vote, why make it harder for someone to choose that than necessary?

The only way that’s communicated is by officially declining the ballot. And I agree with the other commenter that it should be easier to do this.

By not voting, you’re communicating “They’re all fine; I can’t be assed to pick”.

You don’t actually have to fill out the ballot. You can tell the voting officer that you decline it, you can write profanity on it, or you can vote for your dog.

It’s a minor civic duty. Much less onerous than jury duty, lol

Yeah, broadcasting to the world that you’re playing a game that hasn’t been released yet isn’t a great idea. Particularly when it’s Nintendo. It’s pretty common knowledge how petty they are even with stuff that’s less flagrant

Yes. There’s the .ml instance. If they’re from there, they are a troll!

“Brian”…?

Typo/autocorrect for “bran”?

It’s a great word. It can be almost any part of speech/grammar!

What is a Personal Pronoun?

A whole bunch of angry Americans would fail to answer that question correctly these days…

To clarify, I don’t think the writers did anything wrong. The headline will be misleading because Nintendo’s being somewhat misleading.

I don’t know how much the headline could be improved, if at all.

Nintendo says NS2 GC controller will only “officially” support GC games

Or if they can’t quote “officially”, they could quote “only”. Which could arguably be more clickbaity, but also clue in a casual reader that there’s more to what Nintendo officially says.

It’s somewhat misleading. It’s not providing the additional background information, and it leads the headline with the claim (not that Nintendo is making a claim).

I don’t think it’s a bad headline. It’d be hard to include all the information in the headline. But if someone only reads the headline (something like 73% of people), they could end up with a mistaken conclusion. And those people will have been lead in that direction (so, mislead).

Doesn’t this kind of depend on where you live? Lol

The games don’t drop in price, but the consoles do. There’s even a chance the price could go down for the holiday season, even if it’s something miniscule. This launch price is the early adopter tax.

“But I haven’t seen you in over a decade!”

I said, SAME. OLD!

Unfortunately, I use some software that’s Windows-only, and can’t be bothered to set up a VM or anything

Same here. My accounts still exist, but I only ever access it now through old.reddit signed out. I still read info from a few communities, but never comment.

$100 could be a week of grocery money too. $50 for a frugal individual, even.

Canadian here: What’s the difference? /s

I don’t drive. Where I live, you can really only “not drive” in cities. And even then, it can be hard at times.

At the same time, I live within reasonable commuting distance of multiple friends and family members. I can walk to a few of them. I don’t need to be closer to my community.

I might want to retire someplace quieter, but I like being able to hop on a train or a bus to get to somewhere fun, or to be able to walk across the street to a store if I need something. Heck, I can even easily get takeout if I don’t feel like cooking – I don’t even need delivery.

Yeah, and bathroom suggests that there are baths or places for bathing.

Water closet really is the right thing to call it!

Yup. I use whatever feels best, which is usually American words, British spelling (except for the -ze instead of -se for words that end in a “z” sound).

Also, there are our own Canadianisms, like “washroom”.
