Yeah uh deflation is actually considered very bad, not sure where people are getting this expectation from.

Exactly my first thought seeing this graph.

? It’s never seemed notably low to me. Also I think they want it to be usable sideways

Cat.

I would assume that’s summation mode, so everything you enter is treated as a running total. This looks like a business calculator.

Yeah I decided to move off of lemmy.world recently. Seems like they’ve been making a lot of bad decisions.

Presumably people who care about you as a person care about what you’re up to with your life, but maybe the author of this hasn’t experienced that.

This is incorrect. What you’re describing is the Third World. The Second World was the eastern bloc and other Soviet allies. The First World was NATO allies. The implication is basically that the third world was not important enough to be a factor in the cold war.

Huh I never type in portrait if I can help it, my thumbs are way too big for it. Landscape any time I’m typing and even then I wish I could make the keyboard bigger without losing visibility to what I’m typing/replying to. I also don’t swipe type, have never really liked it.

Not sure I understand why you would want that. But more options for gboard would always be good.

Making smaller games isn’t a bad thing. Every game being a BG3 would be completely unsustainable. Sure, that game was a great accomplishment, but also imagine if they’d made the game that size and it was bad. It would’ve probably sunk the studio. I’m all about more A and AA games. Not everything needs to be a 300 person effort.

Questionable message and definitely not a meme.

I’m a little unclear on what point the author is trying to make but perhaps that’s because I’m not familiar with this comic.

Edit: tbh I think I agree with the sentiment that this is just a shit comic. If there’s any worthwhile message it’s very poorly expressed.

shrug I guess we’ll see but I don’t think it’s at all far fetched to think that more people will be lining up and saving for a switch 2 compared to a new xbox, even a year after the launch. The switch is one of the most successful consoles of all time and I don’t see any indication that demand for the switch 2 will be softer.

The problem with the question of why is that you can always ask why again. Say we do understand the mechanism of the big bang. You can still ask “why” about why things are that way. Which is why in my view that’s still more of a “how?” “Why” is more of a question for philosophers than scientists imo.

I’m doing just fine.

Well we still don’t have a date on it and many previous Nintendo launches have had demand way outstrip supply, leading to the new console being a pretty hot item way past initial launch date.

I don’t fancy their odds with the switch 2 coming out and eating their hype cycle. Have a feeling people would view this more as an xsx pro than a full generational upgrade. I honestly don’t think Xbox stock has ever been lower so they better hope this doesn’t flop (or perhaps hope that Sony does something really dumb with the PS6 launch, which admittedly is far from out of the question).

Empirical observation can get you the what and the how, but I don’t think it will ever tell you the why. Who says there even is a why?

Well, “confirmed” probably involves a trial. And I’m assuming the majority of these people are dead by now.
