Eh, it's also a bit of a teaching opportunity with kids. A decent parent will teach kids which things are okay to hit and which ones aren't, and this is something that can help with that. Someone's probably going to get hit once or twice yeah. But kids also get mad when they can't stick forks in outlets. I don't see this toy being any worse than a sword or gun toy.

Not sure if you're being sarcastic but "digital only" means the only way to put games on the device is via digital downloads (aka from the web store downloaded via internet).

Each company tries this because it effectively eliminates the third party/aftermarket sales and gets them a monopoly on prices. Never have to lower the price on a game to move physical copies of you don't have physical copies to store, so games no matter how old can stay at full price for as long as they like. Don't have to cut your margins by selling at a reduced price to a third party to resell so all the profit comes home.

I know why companies do it, it makes sense financially. But turns out a lot of people aren't fans of not being allowed to have the option to physically own their own media, even if they don't always do it.

I think I can speak for most Americans (and as someone who owns stocks) fuck the shareholders.

Also sounds like you had a crappy realtor. If you're using a realtor, get them to work for you, that's what they're for. Give them the specs of the house you're looking for, sure, but they should be calling you with listings, vetting the homes before they show them to you, handling negotiation relays and inspection setups, etc.

Just general advice, yes you pay them, but if they aren't working for you, pay someone else.

As a guy, these apps suck. I've met a few people on them, but it's very obvious that they are deliberately hiding matches and people that are your type behind a paywall. It's not in their best interest to show you people that have the same interests as you, it's better if they bundle them all up and slap a big fat price tag on the front.

People are starting to realize these apps aren't about hooking up or making connections, they're about squeezing desperate people looking for love into giving money for the promise of finding it.

A smaller switch would be a terrible idea. They're already pushing so hard to have mainstream games on the console, and those games have UI elements that can only get so small before they're useless. You'd have to develop your UI around being used on these tiny screens, which either takes extra work or leaves big screen users screwed.

A smaller screen switch would basically be relegated to phone games, and all other games would lose a lot of detail to size

Same as every other time he has tried to stir shit with these trials. All they have to do is keep a level head and let the hammer drop. They've got him, the evidence is there, all they have to do is get the trials to go through with as few hiccups as possible. These judges need to keep a level head and they should be able to do so easily because, despite all the petulant whining and diversionary tactics, they've got him.

After reading all the comments about wanting his life to be over and the counters about feeling bad for him etc. I think ive come to a conclusion on how to ethically handle him.

I'm going to laugh. I'm going to laugh at how foolish he looks having a stroke on stage. How despite all of the terrible things he has done to this country on a socio-economic level trying to line his pockets and stay in power, he is standing up there, feeble and barely coherent, looking like he simultaneously shat himself and forgot his name, I'm going to laugh.

Because if he wants any semblance of dignity, any ounce of respect, he needs to admit that he is done and bow out.

"But he is still human, have some empathy" No, why should I? This man has engineered tearing the country apart so he can put his grubby hands all over it and smear it in his own grease. And he is still trying to keep doing it!

What I see up there is an old man trying to walk across the freeway, with a dozen people telling him not to. And he is not only ignoring them but lifting his nose high and walking out into the road anyway. So when I see that mack truck hit him like it did on that stage, I laugh.
