I ain't letting this thread die with me simping for Samus...

Political opinions shouldn't be forced into games (cough) Sweet Baby Inc (cough)

Yeah, sure, believe love is love, believe Trump will save America, just don't shoehorn it into games.

Not saying every instance of politics in games is bad, like look at Metal Gear, politics are a theme in that series, and it's still a good series.

Even more unpopular opinion: those aren't politics or political issues, and actual political opinions in games fly over people's heads completely unnoticed.

imma say it: your cringe if a feminine person is all it takes to make your VC rancid. i used to use fem avatars in mmos, every time at least 1 dude will be sexist and hit you up at the same time.

i def agree but i don’t think that should be the only reason why someone uses they/them. it makes more sense if you just want to be referred that way in general yk..

Games shouldn’t cost more than 40$
I agree. And it doesn't matter how much money a game rakes in, because studios can seemingly go under without warning. I hate that the video game industry is so fragile.

Overspending on stupid stuff will put any company under

It's not that simple.

Here's a good video about it if you have 10 minutes to spare:




It's just the fact the development studio is separate from the publisher which in turn is separate from whatever company owns and runs it into the ground, and the slash-and-burn management style that intentionally destroys assets for short-term profit, bonuses, and let's not forget ~s~h~a~r~e~h~o~l~d~e~r~s~

It's why Musk is getting paid huge bonuses despite absolutely tanking all the companies he's involved with.


There's a story going around about how the "all-you-can-eat shrimp" promotion caused Red Lobster to declare bankruptcy, and a string of jokes about how people ate them out of business. Which is total bullshit designed to take attention away from the (mis)management practices that actually ran them under.

Among other things.

It's all about nabbing a short-term profit and jumping ship while everything burns.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Switch the switch to resolve your issue
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, sorry but i cant, i dont have a switch. also what k3nv2 says is a joke
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's what I figured. I put a post up in a forum but no one seems to replying to posts there. I also don't what this chat is attached to.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    General chat as it implies
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, try posting in the "switch noob paradise" thread
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's where I put it. But like I said other people's posts from a day or two ago have no responses. I'm not sure if the chat is part of the Nintendo forum that I'm on or a part of the website as a whole.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigArnold, part of the website as a whole
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    then try making a thread
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    wait you are too new to be able to do that
  • B @ BigArnold:
    That's fine. I'll find my way.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @BigArnold you put the fusee or hekate.bin in the hekate/ payloads folder, or use app to push the payload to switch while its in rcm mode
    +1
  • B @ BigArnold:
    The problem is is that TegraGUI isn't detecting my Switch despite it being plugged in and in RCM or maintenance mode.
    +1
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Did you click install driver inside the tegra app.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I did all of that stuff and it seemed successful but still nothing. The only thing different from the guide I used was that my device wasn't showing up as APX but rather Nintendo Switch.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I did it inside the Tegra app and Zadig.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Try a different USB c cable, or different USB port on your pc.
  • B @ BigArnold:
    I tried a different port and don't have another cable. I'm fairly certain there's no issue with the equipment I'm using.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Some cheap USB c cables don't send data, they only charge
  • B @ BigArnold:
    The cable is usually used to connect my controller to my switch's dock.
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Only other thing Id suggest is using a phone/tablet and use the Rekato app, or different pc
  • B @ BigArnold:
    Okay then.
    Thanks for your help.
