I guess OP believes that the disc size has a look with the Deck’s performance? 🤔

- Comment on 500,000 Books Have Been Deleted From The Internet Archive’s Lending Library 4 weeks ago:
As we’ve discussed at great length, the Internet Archive’s Open Library system is indistinguishable from the economics of how a regular library works. The Archive either purchases physical books or has them donated (just like a physical library). It then lends them out on a one-to-one basis (leaving aside a brief moment where it took down that barrier when basically all libraries were shut down due to pandemic lockdowns), such that when someone “borrows” a digital copy of a book, no one else can borrow that same copy.

They shared them the exact same way regular libraries do it.

And that’s the reason why sites like this one shouldn’t be registered and hosted in the USA.

All major ones, it’s that simple
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 1 month ago:
Yep, Windows 8 had a mobile/tablet version.
I also mentioned in another comment that they could simply do the same thing as with the Deck, have it start with a handheld/controller friendly UI (hmmm where could Microsoft’s Xbox division find that?) and give the option to switch to regular old Windows to do desktop stuff. It’s not as if playing on the desktop without a mouse and keyboard attached to the Deck is a fun experience either!
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 1 month ago:
Well Windows 8 phones were considered to be awesome by those who had one, it’s the lack of support from third party that killed mass adoption.
Also, if we’re looking at the past to decide what is and isn’t possible then gaming on Linux is impossible.
Let’s not pretend that using the desktop on a Deck is a wonderful experience either, Steam’s big picture mode is just a front end that improves the experience and Microsoft could do the equivalent by reusing the Xbox UI with the option to fall back to Windows 11 proper and then people could launch another launcher from there if they wanted. Heck people could launch Steam in big picture mode from their Xbox handheld if they wanted!
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 1 month ago:
They haven’t done anything to adapt it to handheld controls and a small screen
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 1 month ago:
And all other launchers and any PC game that doesn’t run on Linux…
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 1 month ago:
Their competition is the Deck and other handhelds that run full versions of Windows, there’s no reason to believe they wouldn’t give it the same kind of capacities (i.e. a real handheld PC) in which case it’s the Deck that will feel like a walled garden considering that not all games are compatible and not all launchers work on it.
I say that as a Deck owner that plays with it pretty much once a day.
- Comment on Microsoft Gaming CEO: “I think we should have a handheld, too” 1 month ago:
Called it months ago, they’ll develop a handheld version of Windows and have their own handheld!
If the controller feels as good as my Elite 2 then I’m sold
- Comment on Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers 3 months ago:
They could threaten to sue for facilitating copyright infringement by letting the community do the thing they were just sued (and settled) for.
Once you involve the legal department they’ll often tell you it’s not worth fighting because although you might win because you’re doing nothing wrong, you might need to fight for long enough that the cost won’t be worth the effort, see Bleem vs Sony, Bleem won, it went bankrupt regardless.
If you think Discord wants to bother fighting against Nintendo’s lawyers, that will find all kinds of technicalities to keep things going, just to protect a community that’s pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things, while they’re considering doing an IPO, then you’re pretty naive.

And the fact that they didn’t host the content didn’t keep them from being raided and from seeing their servers being seized.
- Comment on Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers 3 months ago:
Hosting isn’t necessary, providing access is enough, otherwise The Pirate Bay wouldn’t have had to change location again and again.
- Comment on Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers 3 months ago:
They could threaten to sue discord for hosting copyrighted content, even if they expect to lose it doesn’t matter, the goal is to make discord close the channel and it worked.
Cost/benefit analysis, you’ll probably win the lawsuit, it will still cost you a shit load of money in the meantime and you’re fighting against a company that has enough money to stop all its activities for a decade and still come out with enough funds to resume activities as if nothing happened. Or you can just ban one community from your platform.
- Comment on Discord is nuking Nintendo Switch emulator devs and their entire servers 3 months ago:
The only one I can see that could be applied to the situation is “risk for discord” if Nintendo threatened them with a lawsuit.

Yeah… Go take a walk and have a good reflection on the way you see things.

If the sexual orientation and origin of the characters don’t make a difference in the story, why do you feel the need to qualify it anything but a love story? Because doing it honestly makes you look like a bigot…
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video Ad Tier Sparks Class Action Lawsuit From Subscribers 5 months ago:
It doesn’t interrupt the shows and it replaces the ads that already existed before, in the end it didn’t make a difference since I don’t pay attention to them no matter if they are for their shows or for other products.
- Comment on Amazon Prime Video Ad Tier Sparks Class Action Lawsuit From Subscribers 5 months ago:
So far all I’ve seen is that instead of having an ad for one of their shows before what I want to watch begins, it’s an ad for one of their products soi couldn’t care less 🤷

They found people who imitate the original voices which surprised me a bit because I expected something like they did for Solar Opposites to happen.

Yep, if you can afford to buy full priceD games then just play some of the ton of free stuff (or some of your backlog) for a while and buy a new CPU
- Comment on Paramount+ unskipabble ads 7 months ago:
If you pay for the streaming service and it doesn’t let you watch the content how it should then you’re perfectly justified to just download a copy, nothing savage about that.
