The difference is: Microsoft and Sony 1st party titles go on sale and eventually come down in price over time.

Nintendo first party titles are always full price, even for 5 year old games.

This is probably why he wants it:

Unlike American citizens, gold card holders will not have to pay taxes to the U.S. government on their overseas income.

Not sure if that applies to us citizens with gold cards though.

Your friend is not joking. There's an epidemic of disinformation washing across the USA.

And thanks to the disinformation around vaccines, there are also several other types epidemics breaking out...

Tim Allen says Disney would not be making "Toy Story 5" if it was just about the money.

Riiiiight.

I disagree. Ubisoft has been very consistently trash for a while.

You'd save it to the database in the same field as the rest of the text. You don't store the positions or anything like that - you'd store the text with HTML and have the front end render it as expected.

For instance, the database could have the following text:

Hello <strong>World</strong>

And the front end just renders HTML.

Alternatively, you could store Markdown syntax if you're hesitant to allow HTML.

EDIT: as always, if you store raw HTML, don't forget to sanitize it.

Nintendo issued an apology in 2020 over the issue, but argued that players who purchased the items were bound by the user agreement of the Nintendo Switch and thus ineligible to participate in a class action lawsuit against the company.

I'm not a lawyer, but this seems suspicious. How would this work? If I purchase a product in a retail store, where exactly would I sign something agreeing to give up my eligibility to participate in a class action suit? Are they trying to argue that linking the hardware to your account carries over the restriction to any hardware used?

Yep. Heard great things about the game, but I'm waiting till it's on steam to get it. I refuse to give Epic a dime. Exclusivity deals hurt consumers.

Do what I do: hold tight and pretend it's a plan.

The funniest example of this being the development of COVID vaccines

I disagree. The funniest example of Trump never admitting he's wrong is definitely the Four Seasons Landscaping press release.

In Canada and the UK, if the government fails to pass a budget, it triggers an automatic vote of no confidence, parliament is dissolved, and it triggers a general election.

US politicians do not suffer any consequences for failing to do their job.
