I'm in one of the mostly densely populated metro areas in the US, with a Walmart maybe 15 minutes away. Maybe I chose shipping instead of delivery?

I must have chosen the wrong shipping option.

They've always sucked, but Nintendo gives them big allocations and exclusives.

The Konami code might be the best-known code in gaming.
For years, the only way to access a settings/diagnostic screen on Netflix TV apps was a variant of the Konami code. It could be almost impossible to enter with mushy TV remote buttons.

In Armed Police Batrider, hold start and tap right during gameplay to cycle enemy shot colors. Without this, the police team's blue bullets mask the enemy's blue bullets, making them hard to see.

The distinction suggested to me that they're separate, but who knows. Time will tell!

The wording on the box makes it sound like the upgrade pack is a separate code, not on the cart.

That's a lot of people who would agree with both "we should embrace diversity, equity, and inclusion of all" and also "fuck LGBT people" 🤔

100% agree.
Arcade experiences are even more awesome now that I'm an adult with kids and have no time for 60-hour epics!

If you ask the Marvel legal team, they're different characters. But in DS2, they just didn't name him, probably so comic fans would assume it's Shuma Gorath.

So if you open a NIB Switch 2 in 2040, after the activation servers are gone, is your Switch 2 useless?

SF6 is worse: base game on key card, DLC as a code. So you can only play the full game if all three criteria are met:
1) Key card is in your console
2) You are the first and only one to redeem that DLC code
3) Nintendo servers are still running

The position of the Republican Party is whatever interpretation sounds most favorable at this moment. All other utterances were just bravado, total legal.

Everyone dunking on this can go back to Roblox. This is awesome for 6-button arcade fighters.

By this logic, the sole (insert disenfranchised or minority) will never be selected for anything based on merit.

In a better world, hand-crafted content would win over AI slop in the marketplace. But AI economics are so amazing that it seems inevitable to drive professional creation out of commercial viability, or at least relegate it to indie/luxury status like bespoke clothes and live concerts.

Gonna knock out the obvious points so I can get to the one I’m really worried about in a reply:
1) No fact-check by the human who prompted this
2) No editing process
3) An opinion piece with no human opinion is pointless
4) If AI can generate your content, you’re just a middleman

PC: Free online play, lower input lag if CFC2 is like CFC1, more flexible for various form factors (desktop, TV, mobile)

It was awesome. Every time you built a new PC, all the games that came out after you built your last PC finally became playable!

Looking forward to this. I broke a strain relief peg in my childhood SNES controller, so a new shell with intact pegs would help keep the PCB safe.

Peeps, check out the other colors!
I clicked through to the smoke one and ordered before noticing the alternatives. Still looks good!

It would explain so much if the DOGE kids were trying their best to follow the law, but they kept asking Grok what the law is.

It's a translation layer like WINE/Proton, not emulation. So in theory, it shouldn't add lag, but will have compatibility issues.

Curious about why "do you invert" is one question but "do you enjoy this genre" is three. I do inverted only for flight sims, never for FPS or third person.
Third person flight is like a USB-A port, where whatever I try first is wrong.

Sorry, but I’m here!
I really tried switching to DDG on my desktop PC maybe a year ago and stuck with it for several months. It was usable, but noticeably worse than Google, despite Google’s own downhill trend.
I’ll revisit occasionally to see if that’s changed.

Last two (supplements & advice from podcasters). Basically all supplements are snake oil.
