You’re not very smart if you think I was comparing Nintendo to Trump, it was a figure of speech to tell you that Nintendo is extremely litigious.

What risk?

They don’t have to live stream for this imaginary scenario to happen. They can far more easily just make a call or send a text instead of hoping their entourage is available to watch their livestream.

Panda does not have the legal capacity to shut down the tournament, they needed Nintendo to do that. Nintendo could’ve just said no.

I have no idea why this company still has such hardcore supporters. Their games are largely derivative aside from a few truly great games, their hardware is consistently the poorest performing and is updated once in a blue moon, they have the most litigious legal department aside from Donald Trump and have…

Comparing the regular Switch to a Steam Deck is apples to apples though specs wise. If you’re only looking at cost and not features, then sure you have a point. But it’s the features that justify the greater cost so not taking that into consideration is silly.

Let’s check your math (all prices are CAD).

“they will laugh at you and point out that your house is the biggest dump in town. is that a deflection of your original point? yes. is it justified? also yes”

Compensatory damages can easily be in the millions.

Long explanation short: compensation is for income lost, medical bills, therapy, etc., while punitive is to literally punish the defendant as a penalty for their actions.

He could just be very, very stupid.

It’s all hype and FOMO. All the due diligence in the world can point to “this shit seems sketchy,” and considering it was a crypto project it should’ve, but if the people in charge get a good feeling it doesn’t matter.

They’re making bets. A lot of these VCs manage funds that number in the billions, so tossing a $100 million bet is like you or I taking putting a $50 bet on double zero in roulette in Vegas. Sure, we are likely to lose the money, but if we don’t we are going to see a massive return on investment. They’re chasing the…

“I think he’s starting to realize that all of his vagaries about “free speech” and the creeping realization of what actual free speech entails and how much of it actually needs to be constrained is something that pre-Musk Twitter was already struggling with and adapting to for years.”

You know you can just scroll by these articles, right? That’s what I do with articles that don’t interest me.

“If that was true he’d have just nuked blue ticks entirely.”
