Don't forget the eruv circling Manhattan so they can ignore other Sabbath rules wholesale while going about their days.

Quite often yes. Because the laws don't usually specify anything about time of day or school activity, just location. Peeing on the fence at 230 am at the school down the street from the dozens of downtown bars? Sex offender registry. Clearly you're a pervert. And many State registries do little to differentiate severity or disclosing types of offenses, so that drunk guy pissing on the fence will be listed right alongside the church pastor that forcibly raped several dozen children.

No, that was just development on the promised No Man's Sky-style recovery they were working on.

It improved a bit, and then the studio began working on an overhaul internally to provide what the game should have been, sort of No Man's Sky style... but they were shutdown by Bioware.

There's a lot of reasons it ended up the way it did, development hell and poor management mostly. Hell, the flight mechanic, which had been added and removed several times in development, was core to the released game, and easily the best part, apparently wasn't even decided to be a necessary feature until Patrick Soderlund, former head of EA studios, was very disappointed in a demo BioWare had shown in early 2017 that the team decided to add flying back in.

One of the core pillars of the game was essentially added just to impress an executive and keep the development going versus being canceled. Flight like in the game requires the entire map and structure of the game world to be different. If you can fly,. you now need to take advantage of the vertical space, something that simply doesn't even get considered in most games. A mountain you can climb is not the same as needing to fill in an entire mountain range and canyon region with content.

What do you mean? Nintendo decides what options are available for their console and how much they cost.

They could have made both card options cost the same. They could have more than just a 64GB option at different costs for larger or smaller games. They could have made it a requirement that the key carts are only able to be used if the game doesn't fit on the options with storage.

There's a lot of other options than just making the objectively inferior option significantly cheaper.

I'm willing to be those studies don't include a representative sample of objectively rich households for comparison. Because it's pretty clear to just about everyone on the planet that the families making multiple millions a year are severely lacking in empathy. That's usually how they amassed that wealth in the first place.

Trump is the best thing that ever happened to China and Russia.

As intended.

The original Switch didn't confirm to USB-PD properly, I doubt the second one does.

Except this time around it's already looking like a minority of games are going to be on the carts. The blank key only cards are cheaper, so publishers are choosing solely because of that to maximize profits.

Previously on the original Switch the key carts were often games that didn't fit the onboard space.

Banned consoles are getting returned and sold as used already to unsuspecting consumers.

It also brings other choices they've made this generation into question. Many games aren't actually on the cartridges, they require downloading them to play even if you have a physical cartridge. If the device is banned, you cannot access the eShop to download anything.

A minority. And it's only going to get worse as time goes on. The digital only carts are cheaper for publishers, so you know that's what the majority will pick just because. The ones with the game on board also only come in a 64GB flavor (currently) so anything larger than that won't fit and would require a digital cartridge.

Nintendo clearly wants to transition to digital only for some reason, even though they're releasing some first party games on the carts still.

I assume this is targeted at things like the AI voiceovers reading random reddit stories or comments alongside generic video content, probably also AI generated.
