it's a form of patronage, albeit indirect. if you want to go full cynic, the worst you could argue is that it doubles as self-promotion, but I think that's a pretty big stretch.

Foreskin goes up, foreskin goes down. You can't explain that!

I got transplanted into a former office. It was actually a demotion in many regards.

I'm in the final stretch of Prime, but I got distracted by life. I have to go through, find my bearings, and unlock each area's task, as per the statue graveyard?

I don't know, but I'm mildly concerned for Echoes, which heard is something of a dark horse entry for the series? Or at least a lot harder and sprawling?

Could a third party rework some kind of combo dock / protective case / extended battery dealio? Not sure what the licensing looks like, but no way in hell am I jazzed about paying that kind of cash for a video passthrough / charger combo that costs a small fraction of that to make.

You can easily get more affordable / roughly equivalent models with a bit of research, but most people aren't inclined to do that.

I bought a silicone grip thing for it made by some company called Dream gear? I think it was recommended to me in a comment somewhere.

I'm still really happy with my Wii U and have barely scratched the surface of the 3DS library, so I'm more of a long tail candidate to pick up a Switch. I figure they'll do a minor / moderate Switch revision in a couple years that'll be more efficient and possibly slightly more powerful a la New 3DS / PS4 Pro, and I'm…

Would those developers consider a shift to an embedded application in a mobile format? (I'm thinking along the lines of piggybacking along with that companion Nintendo app that was mentioned)

I got around to finally playing Prime via the trilogy rerelease on the Wii U eShop.

Ah, cool! I suspect (for myself, anyway) that a lot of the advice I've offered may be a reminder to myself as much as anything else.

You are correct on all counts! It reminded me of liquid smoke in maple syrup form! I helped him tap a few trees when I was a kid, but mostly my memories of involve walking around the forest out back, checking the buckets, and putting it on waffles. :)

ehh, the resurrection makes for a good rematch purse though.

I'm Canadian. we have maple syrup cartels! (seriously)

what doesn't fried chicken go well with, though?

what would that make hot dogs?

they definitely had more than one hit though? they had at least three that I would consider strong singles? (too lazy to check data though.)

hope you don't mind encouragement in the form of a tangential ramble, since I'm still processing some tangentially related things, and I think maybe there are some oblique insights buried in there somewhere? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I interpreted that more loosely as a conflation of how money and power / influence are often conflated, and the excessive pursuit of money isn't so much mere bragging rights as it is a means of extending and securing gains in power.
