This seems to be an unmoderated community/instance so I guess anything goes.
Do you reckon it’s more of a FAS thing that makes you go around calling people paedophiles or is it head trauma from being dropped repeatedly by your drunk mother?

Do you want to play it or do you collect games? If you want to play it then you can sell it afterwards. No rush because it’s not getting any discounts so it holds value quite well.
I’ve bought my copy for €37:
Yes, please do. Don’t leave me hanging.
If liberals call pedo anyone they disagree with now we’ve reached a new low I guess. Funnily enough I’m just a socialist and I try to signal my disgust with Trump as clearly as possible not too confuse liberals too much.
Here are couple of more shockers:
What’s a repedocan? DuckDuckGo shows me some bike taxis and washing machine manuals.
Thats not my dream, I’m not even American, it’s the Americans that voted for it. It’s the dream world where Nintendo cannot afford not to, as far as I understand. Seems doable even if I cannot imagine that transition won’t suck.
Cannot? That’s super defeatist. US had pretty good electronics manufacturing capability until somewhat recently.
It’s not that rare earth minerals are this rare, it’s that their extraction is extremely bad for the environment so most western countries are happy to make it a brown people problem.
Trump is a moron in general and his narcissistic/hyperactive behaviour is cringe-worthy but fabs don’t get built in a single term. Biden continued many of Trumps policies because they were popular, funding ICE and increasing deportations included.
We’re good for now, at least on surface. Given that Switch 2 prices in the US didn’t go up after tariffs it seems like we’re subsidising Yanks for some reason. There’s also Japan-exclusive region-locked Switch 2 SKU that’s about $350.
Yes, that’s what this blog post is about :)
What are the resources required to build electronics that are unavailable in the US? There’s no infrastructure, yeah, but saying a country the size of US is limited in what’s available resource-wise sounds silly.
All you’re saying it’s complex and that it will take time. Americans put a man on the moon, they’re a resourceful bunch. Some got pretty lazy though.
I don’t think people in Asia are different from others and will likely be interested in pivoting their economies to be less dependent on a single thing. China already started so things moved to Vietnam, Indonesia etc. which for now are cheaper. Eventually „the west” is going to run out of places to outsource dirty work to. Colonialism is visibly losing steam, hence the rise of fascism which is just colonialism pointed inwards.
„I put my carton of eggs in two Amazon fridges on two different continents”
Why? Do you mean the only viable model is to outsource cheap labour to Asia forever? People over there will move on eventually.
It’s not viable without upsetting those who benefit from status quo, that’s for sure. Many people don’t seem to be happy with that status quo though. They picked wrong answer to the correct question but they weren’t that far off.
Well, long term Americans could be making Nintendo Switches domestically. They’d be more expensive but blue collar workers could be making more money. It’s not entirely dumb as everyone here paints it even if the implementation is laughably bad. Previous term Orange man made TSMC build a cutting-edge fab which by now is operational which is also pretty important for supply chain security in case China invades Taiwan. Europe would be fucked because we didn’t do enough for domestic manufacturing. Of course Orange man can’t make up his mind between using tariffs to forward personal agenda and meddling with internal politics of trading partners of the US but sometimes he gets it right. Toys being slightly more expensive is probably lower than tan spray on his list of priorities.
Sorry, should have made it easier for you. I’ll try with the least amount of letters not to confuse you.
