True, you don’t HAVE to binge it. But the point is that by dropping weekly (or at some rate), the show builds momentum and seems to get more notice. That is generally good for the health of the show. And as a viewer, even though I don’t have to binge it, all the spoilers are out there from the start.

That said, if you…

So is Kotaku going to acknowledge their role in this, and shift their editorial stance regarding running stories about emulation, in particular emulating pirated games? I recall ‘Tears of the Kingdom runs great on Yuzu even before it’s been released on Switch’ being front page news here.

A lot of it is also likely the fact that RyuJinx was pretty incapable of running TotK at the very beginning.  Yuzu is the one that enabled people to play leaked copies of TotK before it ever came out.  Ryujinx didn’t release a build capable of even booting the game until after the official launch date, and it’s…

I’ve said it for a while now - what is the utility of fast food (at least the major fast food chains) nowadays? It’s not cheap. It’s often not fast due to labor shortages at many locations. And the quality of the food seems to get worse and worse every passing year. Seems like a lot of these companies are skating by…

I work with produce every day and I know that potatos are still cheap so McDonalds is gouging people for fries. $3.79 for a large fry? $11 for a Big Mac, large fries and a Coke? No more.

yep.  Corporate shareholders are the cause of this.  Dont blame McDs, its a corporation it has neither wants, desires, or needs, blame the rich shareholders who are all competing to be centi billionaires now.

This is exactly it. Everywhere, throughout this whole inflation mess, we are seeing nearly record profits and bonuses for CEOs.

Yeah, morons like to say “but prices go up if wages do” in the whiniest tone of voice. And it isn’t an either/or situation. Because the third option is the one where the problem really lies. The third option is that prices can stay the same, or even go down, if they pay the boardroom guys and shareholders less.…

A few weeks back we stopped at an out of town McDonalds to grab lunch for three. Over $40CDN.

I will admit it. I was/Am a fast food addict. I mean shit i read a daily blog about fast food and casual dining.. But within the last year as costs have gone up, i’ve lost my appetite for this garbage.

Well maybe McDonalds can get together with all the other low income employers, and solve their own problem by raising fucking wages! Or is that too complex for those Big Business Brains in the boardroom to grasp. Corporate America is destroying its own customer base all over the economy with its greed.

The food waste complaint is a head scratcher. Were they not throwing out the pre-cut meat when it reached its presumably shorter shelf life? Or is it that the meats actually are different, and the precut stuff was packed with preservatives that the “fresh” cut meat doesn’t contain?

I think Subway is missing the point, it's not about slicing the meat in the store, it's about slicing it right when a sub is ordered. If you pre slice it you run into the same issue with more of the meats surface area being exposed to air. 

It kind of feels like people are trying to will a lawsuit into existence because drama means clicks.

My favorite part of this story is that nintendo hasn’t actually said anything. People are getting defensive over armchair analysis. 

Using American copyright law won’t help much, since Pocket Pair and Nintendo are both in Japan. 

Can’t tell if you’re joking, but obviously “not A” doesn’t mean “definitely B”. Disagreeing with Matt’s reasoning doesn’t mean anything other than disagreeing with Matt’s reasoning.

Indeed. And notice how those digital games still cost that $60/70, even though they don’t have that cost of producing a box or disc.

And once you can’t own your games anymore, the march of enshitification will ensure that you’ll get worse and worse while simultaneously costing more and more. See: literally every industry.

Giving the reliability and transitory ‘status’ of ‘games as a service’ that publishers like Ubisoft has shown us, I believe I speak for every gamer when I say, “Fuck right off,” in response to Ubisoft’s newest asinine idea.
