Nintendo got sued by Universal Studios for creating Donkey Kong which Universal felt was too close to King Kong. Nintendo won the case and since then they've been on a bloody dont-fuck-with-the-plumber Crusade just like Disney's dont-fuck-with-the-mouse. Given the current state of Pokemon games, I wish Nintendo had lost the Pokemon trademark due to brand dilution long ago.

Genuine questions, in the Asahi Feature Coverage it says USB Type C (USB 3.0) is supported but not USB-C Displays

  1. Does that mean this feature was implemented by the Asahi Linux Team is now made more widely accessible?

  2. If I were to use an M1/M2 Macbook with Asahi Linux, I wouldn't be able to plug in any external monitor?

  3. How dated are M1/M2 devices compared to M3/M4 already?

Japan still has a lot of campaigns with special prints or characters on trains. Fans find their schedules and wait at stations to take pictures. Its quite fun to ride one of those trains and see tens of ethusiasts at every stop.

In Cookie Clicker when you manage to stack 3 fortune cookie modifiers. Numbers going up so fucking hard.

Gael from Darksouls 3 and Orphan from Bloodborne were really cool and intense fights, those probably gave me the greatest rushes in Fromsoft games but I havent played Eldenring yet.

Getting a crit with Paladin in DnD is always amazing. I dont know if the updated 5e rules ended up removing the crit on Divine Smite but I'd elect to ignore that

Hatte mal ein Gespräch mit einem Kunden, der von seiner Frau in den Biomarkt geschickt wurde um Hafermilch zu kaufen. Wir hatten im Regal aber nur Haferdrink, Mandeldrink, Reisdrink, Sojadrink, etc. und er konnte keine Milch finden. Entweder wollte er mir nicht glauben, dass man wegen solchen dummen Gesetzen das nicht Hafermilch nennen darf oder er hatte Angst, dass seine Frau das nicht glaubt.

Does that make Arianna & Queen Yahrnam getting pregnant with Oedon's child a social commentary by Fromsoftware about the players' gooning over their characters?

I kept disabling features and they kept getting re-enabled by updates.

I installed WSL to run gcc and it bricked my graphics drivers, requiring a full reinstall.

Requiring a microsoft account to access my own computer.

App recommendations (ads) in the start menu.

Maybe there were workarounds for this but I shouldnt have to trouble shoot that kind of stuff for a product that values itself at such a price. I just couldnt feel like an owner of things I have purchased.

Was there any reason to make this an ios app as opposed to a website hosted outside the US? I'm really not surprised by the removal. What did they expect? All the Tech CEOs came to the inauguration with bags of cash.
