+100. I was on the fence, and then I thought, “this is a video game system. It’s supposed to be fun.” Boom, neon controllers.

Are you trying to say you’ve never heard of a VRC?

I almost bought a set of the color-swapped Joy-Con to have two reds and two blues, but then I thought, “if I’m patient, they’re going to put out 50 different colors of these things.”

The reason this is a story is because Ally is a prestigious player. So you set that up first, and then the rest of the story flows in a chronological fashion. It’s a perfectly legitimate and effective way of writing a news story.

For the good of the order: The court didn’t decide anything. James Romine agreed to voluntarily dismiss the charges with prejudice. Kotaku’s apparently fallen in love with “thrown out of court,” which is factually inaccurate.

Really happy that Jim won, but I’ll repeat my comment from the previous article:

Some of the things on your list are coming in the future (VC, streaming services, video capture). Other things would make the price skyrocket (disc drive, larger storage, more power). A few things are useless to include because virtually no one would use them (web browser, physical media playback).

Nice—a lightning round!

He’s said during recent videos that he doesn’t play Chains of Love anymore because the rights holder stopped flagging his videos. I miss it, too.

Feel free to let me know where you’re putting that “way larger built in storage” without completely redesigning the form factor of the console.

DING DING DING DING!!! This whole storage space debate is stupid. Most people are not going to go all digital. Or, even if you are going to, maybe just buy a cart for this one game!

“Why Doesn’t Nintendo Let You Play 1-2 Switch Online With Cross-Platform Support?”

and Nintendo can get to making games for consoles made by companies who know what they are doing.

You can fit much more on a small scale and keep the price down.

The WiiU eShop wouldn’t permit a purchase unless you had enough space to download the game. I imagine the Switch eShop will be the same.

And it’s a stupid point. He’s basically saying that because he believes Nintendo plays fast and loose with fair use (which is wrong, because he doesn’t understand how fair use works procedurally), he can do the same and pirate their games. It’s the type of argument a 6-year-old makes.

It’s a shame this doesn’t get Content IDed anymore, because he won’t play it.

My understanding is that even if he won, it wouldn’t be worth it because Romine / Digital Homicide doesn’t have any money.

Fantastic discussion on both sides. This—this—is good Kinja.

I’m glad Jim won his case, but this headline is factually incorrect. The court didn’t “throw out” Digital Homicide’s case. According to Jim’s own statement, James Romine agreed to dismiss the charges. A stipulation of dismissal is one that comes from the parties, which is why the court didn’t sign the document.
