It is inconvenient to leave an adapter connected to my headphones, because I want to use the same pair of headphones for my tablet, computer, and Switch, all of which have a real headphone jack. I also need to buy an extra adapter for the aux cable in the car and constantly have to debug if it is the audio cable or adapter that is going bad.

What adapter do you use? Seriously, I am open to paying more for an adapter once instead of buying cheap adapters over and over.

Splendor Duel is more complicated to teach but has more agonizing decisions (lots of times when you can make a good move that also enables good moves for your opponent or you take a bad move and deny your opponent opportunities).

For some people both of those are positive changes, but I think both are negative.

Tomatoes have been bad for us for the last couple of years. Last year, we got a good yield of cherry tomatoes but large tomatoes only started to ripen before the cold killed them. This year, we only planted cherry tomatoes and are just now getting the first few. My coworkers have confirmed that their tomatoes are also super late this year.

You are right about chives, asparagus, and berry bushes. Once those get established, you will have to work to keep them under control.

There is also a link to Steam so you can sign up to be notified about when you can give OP money.

No, you just need to come to terms with your urge to be a woman.

It is more difficult for gay men who have to accept the fact that women are not gross.

You do not get to vote. You drew a curve for question 12 when the instructions specified a line.

Were multiplatform games more expensive on Switch? I don’t pay too much attention to prices, but whenever I glance at the Nintendo store something or other is on sale.

Now first party Nintendo games rarely go on sale since they sell well as it is.

The important quote from the article

What the launch sales of Switch 2 primarily tell us is that they made a lot of Switch 2 to sell at launch. Lifetime sales and launch sales of a console often do not correlate, meaning that some consoles with small launches ended up doing incredibly well lifetime (PS2 only sold 400k in its launch month) while others with big launches ended up not doing as well lifetime. Since launch month demand is rarely satiated by available supply (and it is certainly not a great sign when it is, historically) all we can really get a read on at launch is the confidence of the manufacturer to make so many units available, and the ability of the supply chain to get those units into the market.

This is still very positive news for the long term viability of the Switch 2 because having a solid install base means third parties have more incentive to port games to the system.

Remember, you can always block the haters. They can talk about how they are still not buying a Nintendo system and you can have a constructive discussion with people who agree with you.

For the Blazers? Ideally, Dame is going to put up good enough numbers to get fans to come to games but not good enough to really ruin their lottery chances.

Nintendo clearly wants to transition to digital only for some reason, even though they’re releasing some first party games on the carts still.

I keep seeing people say that, but I don’t see any evidence of it. Nintendo (or at least the video game publishing division) seems to be the biggest proponent of “game on cart” releases. Even Limited Run Games is announcing that they will make Game Key Cards for many of their releases.

I am surprised that college basketball gets more viewers than NBA games.

Ok, but what does that have to do with studio logos? Did WB spin off DC Studios?

The Celtics just sold for $6.1 billion. Both teams have a comparable legacy, though LA is a much bigger (shared) market. At the time of the sale, the Celtics were the defending champions and favorites to win again with a young set of players. The Lakers are a contender, but would need a bit of luck to get there, and LeBron is on the wrong side of ancient.

Overall, it seems like a fair price in the context.

Not shocked that they traded him. I am more curious about who will be left. Tatum for sure since he is an all-star with low trade value. Probably Brown, since the Celtics are (hopefully) not in total tank mode and it is impossible to get comparable value back for a player of his caliber. Who else will they keep though?

I agree that we should strive to make the world as safe as possible, but people need to take some responsibility for not putting themselves in danger and teaching their kids how to do so as well. If it was not a car, it could have been a bus, a trolley, or a heavy bike (this is a small child we are talking about). The kid could have run off a cliff or fell into the stream and drowned.

As a first generation American, I have noticed that some American parents do not teach their kids enough about how to cross the street (shocking in such a car centric society).

The headline is click bait. I would only judge the launch as “not gone well” when the system fails to sell.

Addressing a couple of the points they made in the article:

The announced price is more than people expected, but day 1 buyers are probably die hard fans and influencers, who would buy it anyway, at double the price. The real test is going to be the holidays and how the price looks side by side with rivals. Based on the news from Microsoft, the Nintendo prices will be in line with the competition. Also, if price does cause issues, Nintendo may get a “free” price drop in the US when Trump drops tariffs (consumers pay less but Nintendo maintains their margins).

Having retailer pre-order systems fail under the Switch 2 load is not Nintendo’s fault. If anything, it shows that the system will sell well initially. Also, they are not losing sales if consumers get a website crash instead of “sold out”.

And the GameBoy and GameBoy Advance or the DS and 3DS. All the follow ups fail to live up to the heights of the predecessor, but not all failures.

So it may be worth $10 for some people, then. I am fine with a cheaper game with slightly worse graphics. I am not sure I even notice if a game is running at 60 fps or 30 fps. Even when a game dips below 30, I notice it getting a bit choppy, but a game should be engaging enough that I will not pay it any attention.
