It’s incredibly obvious you’re a moron, stop that before you get reported.

Fucking loser.

While better, even those were terrible at first. The first ones were charged for almost as much time as they were used for. We’ve come a loooooooong way with battery tech, mostly for the better. At this point, battery waste is almost entirely a recycling infrastructure problem(we need more facilities doing it and more people turning them in instead of dumping them).

In what world is more steps and more potential issues the easier method?

That’s what I’m wondering as you’re over here performing surgery and the rest of us are just plugging it into an adapter. But you clearly don’t get that.

So Mr. Smartass, since this whole thing is about 3DS cartridges, let’s see your magical way to hot swap those batteries. Let’s see your SO EASY way. Constantly jerking yourself off claiming your some expert and you’re not even talking about the carts that matter here. So let’s hear it. Otherwise you were just being a pretentious ass showing off shit that’s not even relevant here.

Touch some grass loser.

You’re removing a panel from the cartridge. That’s literally more complicated than plug and play. You also need to make sure not to be a dumbass and connect and pins while removing the battery so you don’t short anything. Fairly easy? Yes. Easier than PLUGGING IT IN LOKE NORMAL? No.

It’s not about the battery. You have to change it regardless of method used. But it’s easier to just dump the memory and reload it. Then you even have a backup. You’re just being pretentious honestly. I mean, it’s not even about those games, it’s about 3DS carts and you’re over here jerking yourself off that you can change GBC carts.

Yeah that’s nice and all, and I get it, but the original person is referring to it being a HELL of a lot easier to just plug the cartridge into a USB adapter and dump the file to a PC. You know, instead of modifying their Gameboy or cartridges like that. But sure, if that’s “easier” for you, cool. Most people don’t want to go that far and aren’t comfortable and "plug and play’ is in fact easier.

Yup, thank God each device just has one lithium battery, instead of the HUNDREDS UPON HUNDREDS of alkaline batteries you’d go through in the life of a device in the past. You got about 6-8 hours of gameplay in a GameBoy from 2 AA batteries. Kids played these every single day. You have any idea how many we went through?

Or stereos/walkman of the time using even more? Stereos used 4-12 C/D batteries and lasted maybe 2 hours.

You have no idea how incredibly better you have it with lithium batteries and the waste they create. We used to buy alkaline batteries by the 24/48 pack as a regular grocery item.

I wish we treated corporate crimes as personal crimes committed by the CEO. If they want the cover of personhood, then they get everything that comes with that. See how fast they want to return to being corporations. As it is now, they get the best of both worlds as it suits them.

I hate that so much. Being “people” they can essentially “out-compete” actual people in the political process. It’s very much “anything you can do I can do better”. That’s why any solution has to target them directly.

ok apparently we do in fact tax tools. And I can see how AI, being on the cloud, might not normally fall under computer equipment or other things that would be taxed, thus needing it to be specifically included in tax law. Fuck me on that one.

I’ll give you that.

BUT

I still stand by this being a bandaid to a much larger problem concerning capitalists exploiting the labor of many and not being required to give everyone fair pay/equity. The inequality between the workforce and the ownership class is the problem. Them using AI is just their current tool of oppression, but not their only.

We need to address the root cause and directly tax the billionaires. And remove stock backed loans or at least realize their gains and tax them whenever they do use them as collateral for a loan. Shouldnt be able to claim unrealized gains and use it for collateral at the same time.

This is a moronic take. Do we also tax tools when they make a 4 person job a 1/2 person job? This is just an ass backwards way of approaching the wealth inequality and poor working conditions issues by focusing on a tool instead of the system itself.

Especially when it’s in response to the recent discussions about how she bots her posts to reach the front page everytime, has arrangements with the mods of the sub to remove any negative comments, tried to sue another sub for making parodies of her comics(and getting mods to ban anyone who mentions that sub in comics), makes ridiculous strawman arguments constantly(like this one), and how she uses her comic as a front for her OnlyFans.

She’s a parasite on the comics community and she’s finally starting to be called out for it, which is why you’re seeing comics like this to try and get ahead of it. She’s just trying to shift the drama to something besides her actions. She’s hoping reframe all of her criticisms as just a bunch of maga/incel harassment instead of actually addressing any of it.

Somehow I doubt you’d have trouble finding something to say…

Honestly, I care a dick load more about Myanmar and enabling genocide than “but think of the children!”. That’s one of the laziest and most misued calls to action and at this point, I honestly dgaf when I hear it. It’s just propaganda at this point.

Don’t be so quick to stereotype us. You’re insulting those of use who do pay attention.

So you get racist af to prove your point? Fuck off twat and stop being a bitch. It’s not unreasonable to put money into your hobby. That’s what you do. You buy a game here and there, and you upgrade your hardware.

What you don’t do is bitch and moan that you can’t keep up when the effort to do so isn’t that much and at the end of the day, no one owes you AAA games. Cry harder. It’s shit like this that makes gamers look like entitled bitches. You have it vastly better than any other time and you still take most of your time to bitch and moan.

A 4TB HDD currently costs more than it did a decade ago.

What the fuck are you on? That’s RAM that’s currently skyrocketing because of AI, you dipshit. I just bought a 12 TB HDD for $250. Memory is the cheapest it’s ever been and has always been on a downward decline like that. You don’t know what you’re talking about.

Nah, it’s just not 1995 anymore. I was around for those times bro. I know what computer tech used to be. I know what it is now. I’ve seen the progression. And yes, if you only have a 500GB hard drive today, you’re the equivalent of someone trying use floppy disks.

Sucks to be told you fell behind, but guess what, you did! Just like 5 GB used to be enough, then 50, then 100… Guess what, you want all those fancy videos and cutscenes and graphics? Oh shit, they take space. Omg.

Sorry you’re trying to game in modern times with an Atari, but again, that’s a you problem. Maybe get a job and buy an SSD. Seriously, Samsung evo SSD 1tb are $90 right now. You’re telling me you can afford $40-70 games, but can’t buy a hard drive? Like seriously? You also try to play golf with old pieces of rebar and complain that it doesn’t work either?

Bunch of entitled people bitching that they’re owed something. You’re a consumer. They don’t owe you shit. Don’t like it, don’t buy it. Vote with your wallets like we tried to tell you decades ago.

Cool, wanna go through the list of modern games and see their file sizes? COD is somewhere around 300GB. Anything AAA is usually 80-100gb.

If all you have is a system capable of playing indie games, don’t shit on those of use who actually put effort into our hobby. A 1tb SSD is ~$90. It’s not some crazy ask. If you can’t do that, fine. But don’t drag the rest of us down with you.
