Butchering your pals is less of a problem than enslaving other human beings.

More to the point it's just bad. It's incredibly grindy, has an incongruous tech tree, and the A.I. (both enemy and ally) is trash. It's also mostly a copy of their previous game, Craftopia, which was also bad and has been in Early Access for 4 years now with no signs of ever leaving it.

I don't hate Palworld because it's a low effort Pokemon knockoff, I hate Palworld because it's a low effort Ark knockoff following the same business plan of not finishing their previous game before abandoning it for their new game. At least with Ark you got to ride dinosaurs rather than store-brand Rapidash.

At least it wasn't Turtle

Because most dudes calling for it don't actually care about celebrating men, they just don't want women to have things.

Maybe we should have a mens day as well.

We actually already have International Men's Day, it's next Tuesday (Nov 19).

P.s. I agree with you, I just wanted to point out a fun fact.

I think Nintendo already owns the rights to most (if not all) of the music for their games so I'm pretty sure your conspiracy theory is correct.

If they don't own the rights to that music they've certainly been militant in taking down any other platform that makes it available.

There is a GitHub project working on a recompilation of both of these for PC. They've got Majora's Mask working and are working on OoT. Looks beautiful, runs buttery smooth, and has custom controls with a free camera.

I've tried it and have a few thoughts:

Initial selection is only 23 games, not sure why they're not just releasing everything. I guess they're planning on parceling the music out like their emulators.

The choices of games are also kind of strange, like why 2 versions of Metroid? Why starfox 64 and not like Mario 64

The ability to extend songs up to 60 minutes is pretty cool

The idea of character specific playlists is interesting

It crashes semi frequently, not a good sign.

It does add value to the Switch online membership, but not much at this point.

They still work on most of the emulated versions I've tried (including the version that OP is playing here), but I haven't tried on Sonic Origins

Edit: just checked and Sonic Origins doesn't have the sound test for Sonic 2 so there's no way to input these codes

You're underestimating the effect of his father knowing the right people. Yes, there was no "small million-dollar loan" and yes Warren actually hustled quite a bit to capitalize on the advantages given to him by his father, but that doesn't erase those advantages when talking about his success.

Hard work is not the thing that got him where he is. If it were there are millions of people working multiple who should also be billionaires. Or, better yet, no one should be a billionaire at all and we make it so people don't have to work multiple jobs to survive, but I digress.

Buffett himself is a nepo-baby. His father was a congressman who's connections were very helpful when starting out in business and investing.

Sure it isn't Emerald mine money, but you can't tell me being the son of a 4-term congressman didn't give him a leg up.

Hence "mission accomplished"

You've never set foot outside of a city or had any contact with the people who produce your food, have you?
