Close enough I suppose.

Holy crap, someone who actually didn't have it yet!

Nintendo has been cracking down on emulators this year.

I'm guessing it's because the Switch 2 will be a "Gamecube to Wii" sort of upgrade. Gruntier CPU and GPU, minor hardware changes, but same basic system. So Nintendo has been cracking down on Switch emulators so there won't be a zero day Switch 2 emulator.

Placing a bomb and then switching to a weapon no longer applies its enchantments to the bomb damage.

Huh, never knew about that one.

Okay, hypothetically let's imagine someone who is a Bitcoin trading god. Every peak he's there unloading his bags, every dip and he's buying hundreds of Bitcoins. This guy turns thousands into millions and millions into billions. Huge success story right?

But here's the rub, where is all this money coming from? The money isn't coming out of thin air, it's not coming from the crypto exchanges, otherwise they'd go bankrupt, it's not coming from the value of any goods or services produced. The answer is that all that money is coming from other people. Someone has to be buying at the peak thinking it'll go "To the moon" and getting burned, or maybe the need to pay off some hackers cryptolocker. The same for the dip maybe someone needs real money right now and must sell despite the loss, or maybe someone is panic selling thinking the price will go lower. Our hypothetical trading god hasn't really created any money or anything of value at all, they've just moved money from the losers in the Bitcoin to his own wallet.

This makes you the equivalent to one of the spokespeople from near the top of a pyramid scheme taking about how this is one of the legit pyramid schemes, because you've earned so much money! Ignoring of course that all of their money means that someone somewhere needed to lose that money first.

However, I suppose at the end of the day, you did take twenty four thousand dollars from crypto morons, so I suppose that's kinda noble in a way.

Wow, that's bad. I thought it would be more of a "confusing a sentence for a similar sounding one" type thing but from the above and the article it's just generating semi-believable text and sticking them into the transcriptions.

The entire music industry is built to grift money from musicians and Spotify is a second layer of musician grifting industry built on the first.

There's also a pack containing every ship they've sold which you can only see/purchase if you've spent one thousand dollars in their ship store. I'll spoiler the price so you can try and guess how much it is first:

Edit: I should include the source for that price since (as mentioned) you can't even see the pack until you've dropped $1k

At least it's not Star Citizen prices:

Well most of human management can't be held accountable (unless they step on the toes of someone above them) so honestly, what would be the difference?

I was thinking about that a while back. There's got to be some sort of upper limit to collecting data being useful. I mean at some point it becomes more economical to just buy the data from one other thousands of companies data mining phones rather then going to all the trouble of building and maintaining your own data mining app.

Gee, we've had over a half century of computer graphics at this point. However, suddenly when a technology arises that requires obscene amount of GPU's to generate a results a GPU manufacturer is here to tell us that all computer graphics without that new technology is dead for... reasons. I cannot see any see any connections between these points.
