  • I don’t understand why so many folks aren’t worried about another superpower replacing the US’s slowly waning stranglehold

    Can’t speak for others, but personally I simply find them both worrying. The Chinese and US states are both foreign powers that wish to track everything I do and use it to control me in the future.

    Look at all the fucked up shit the US has done around the world, and that’s with a quasi-democratic government that at least has a modicum of domestic and international accountability

    Which US-led, US-backed agencies are you referring to as delivering accountability for the US? The ones they have veto power in too?

    Not trying to “both are equally bad”. China’s output of political violence is ostensibly worse, but you seem to be dismissing the legitimate concern that the source for this is the US regime, whose political interest is for us to point fingers at China as they continue working behind our backs.

    We know to be cautious of China, yet any time someone brings up “we should be cautious of the US too”, the response is “China’s worse”, deflecting from the real threat that the US presents globally.

    Preferably, I’d like to see all these superpowers overthrown, the states broken up, and a union a la the EU to form with more global pursuits, or the EU itself to expand beyond European borders, while continuing to be genuinely voluntary while also being both politically and economically beneficial for all member-states.











  • Well, first I can’t comment — or I won’t comment, I should say — on the rumors that are out there. But one thing we’ve done with the Switch to help with that communication and transition is the formation of the Nintendo Account. In the past, every device we transitioned to had a whole new account system. Creating the Nintendo Account will allow us to communicate with our players if and when we make a transition to a new platform, to help ease that process or transition.

    Our goal is to minimize the dip you typically see in the last year of one cycle and the beginning of another. I can’t speak to the possible features of a new platform, but the Nintendo Account is a strong basis for having that communication as we make the transition.

    Is this him indirectly confirming backwards compatibility?



  • GOD I CAN’T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK. They really killed it with that cliffhanger. Frieren’s such a badass, even the way she let herself get taken down, but refused to take her eyes off her enemy. Also, to not tread on what others have said about this episode, it’s interesting that they mentioned other creatures that use human speech to trick us, and that human speech is what distinguishes demons from monsters.

    The writing was really great too, with the demons using honeyed words that sound sympathetic, but they turn around and acknowledge they don’t really know what it means except that they get to live a while longer.
