Glorious 160x150 resolution

Russia claimed and held territory. Their military leadership doesn’t particularly value human lives in this conflict and hasn’t historically either. I have no doubt that they will continue the course suffering heavy human losses and eventually find some form of victory.

Ukraine needs more people if they want any hope of staving that eventuality off. The Russians have very different ideas of fighting a war of attrition.

Quantity is a quality of its own. I’d say Ukraine is hanging on with advanced weaponry. It needs the mass to push Russian troop advances and repel their forces out of their country.

Anything else is keeping the status quo of roughly even wins and losses, which will never lead to victory in the next decade.

Looks like fun, but expected full release out of early access in 2026?

That’s a year and a half wait to finish out the story.

Makes me feel better about only paying for a 300% markup on car parts

It’s fancy tap water. Amazing that Coke makes so much money off it

I use the back buttons as alternative shoulder buttons.

My right bumper button broke and I can’t find cheap replacement daughterboards, so bandaid it is. I can’t just solder in a new switch because the leads on the PCB broke. Seems to be a failure common mode for the bumpers if you ever hit the corner or drop it. The way the bumper is designed transfers the full force directly to the PCB instead of to the shell or any actual structural component.

A+ game development right there. I don’t like how Nintendo runs their online services (and actively opposes game tournaments), but you wouldn’t expect such a change in Smash.

The game is a mess. I watch my kid play it and it’s so less graceful than smash. Framerates randomly drop, lag spikes happen a few times a minute, hit boxes seem nebulous compared to attack animations.

You can use maybe a quarter of the roster for free. You may be able to unlock everybody from in game currency, but I’m not too sure. They also just… removed a character that wasn’t free. If I paid any money for premium content I’d be pissed

“Well grandma was a little racist at times”

I honestly don’t know if this would be like letting toddlers run a daycare or if it would be paradise.

Beautiful music. Looks like a more interactive take on Stardew Valley

I bowl maybe once a year. Bowling centers seem to be closing faster than they’re being bought up and shittified.

This kind of thing sucks, but it also might be the only thing keeping a bowling alley open that’s within 50 miles. I’ve moved a lot and there’s never been more than two bowling alleys that I know of within a reasonable drive.

They could have just:

“We’ve received customer feedback on our repair process and are reviewing how we conduct operations. We appreciate your concerns and strive to provide excellent computer products with reliable and trustworthy service.”

Doubling down on shitty behavior is never good business.

I look forward to a Backblaze analysis in a few years.

The real Microsoft was the studios we shut down along the way

Is there a tldw for this?

This shit can destroy companies and tank its value

Leaving hundreds of contacts in limbo with no resolution has the potential to cost more than $17 million in legal fees and termination clauses.

Where the fuck is the board of directors and why are none of the shareholders revolting?

We have plenty of things to be old grumpy grouches about.

“Those banks ruined the American dream and we bailed them out!”

“Fossil fuel companies successfully lobbied the government to allow them to poison our planet in the name of profit!”

“Those Disney crooks consolidated all media and destroyed independent creative ventures!”

“Back in my day we could afford a house if we saved 10 years of earnings for a down payment and then took out a loan eventually totaling twice the value of the purchase price. You kids have it easy with your rental sleeping pods and low-monthly rate outdoors park subscriptions. You don’t even contribute to furniture or clothing industries because you don’t own a place to put any!”
