Adresses almost all of my gripes.
Only thing I would have wished for was the ability to double press on buttons for hold, so I can perform for instance punch in effects without using two hands (or doing finger gymnastics)
Commandment 1: Tho shalt, and shalt is a pretty big word you know, it means that you should, but it’s really like you must. And I think you must, because it’s really important to do the things you know, because they are really important and you should do them.
Commandment 2: Because if you didn’t then you wouldn’t have done it, and then it didn’t get done, so you should do it, and other should do it.
Etc etc
Schrodingers little known side hustle was to make pens.
I mean, your non-upgraded coins being worthless should be a pretty solid motivator.
Yes sure, fair point. I’m just pointing out that it’s all fiction.
All these “look at the thing the ai wrote” articles are utter garbage, and only appeal to people who do not understand how generative ai works.
There is no way to know if you actually got the ai to break its restrictions and output something “behind the scenes” or it’s just generating the reply that is most likely what you are after with your prompt.
Especially when more and more articles like this comes out gets fed back into the nonsense machines and teaches then what kind of replies is most commonly reported to be acosiated with such prompts…
In this case it’s even more obvious that a lot of the basis of its statements are based on various articles and discussions about it’s statements. (That where also most likely based on news articles about various enteties labeling Musk as a spreader of misinformation…)
I would agree with you if the same companies challenging copyright (protecting the intellectual and creative work of “normies”) are not also aggressively welding copyright against the same people they are stealing from.
With the amount of coprorate power tightly integrated with the governmental bodies in the US (and now with Doge dismantling oversight) I fear that whatever comes out of this is humans own nothing, corporations own everything. Death of free independent thought and creativity.
Everything you do, say and create is instantly marketable, sellable by the major corporations and you get nothing in return.
The world needs something a lot more drastic then a copyright reform at this point.

I mean it’s a effective way to prove that “the government is broken”…
Yes switch2 definitely is the trigger for what ever evaluation internally at Nintendo causing this.
I checked the comments just to make sure someone mentioned eidetic memory.
The “um achually” approach is to point out that “eidetic” is actually the correct term and that “photographic” is a colloquialism.
My take on this is that gold points was a method to drive digital purchases over physical media.
Nintendo gets all the revenue and don’t have to share with retailers, also digital is a lot cheaper then physical media to produce and distribute.
Now in 2025 digital numbers are so high that they no longer feel the incentive is worth it’s cost.
Also I would personally reserve the term “anti-consumer” for other more sinister things then removing a free perk or bonus… Nintendo have lots of practices that fall under this term, I don’t feel this is one.
Especially since they are giving quite a lot of room for you to spend whatever gold points you have on your account. Anti consumer would be outright refusing to cash in the point right away.
I was just thinking the other day that the plot of the matrix would make a lot more sense now.
The ai is running a simulation of the 90s to keep growing because everything after that is tainted with internet memes and increasing amount of ai slop.
There are more sinister ways to do this then sim swapping.
There is too little control over nodes in modern cell networks.

A great example of using our numbers to strengthen our position as consumers.
I love this, and also the idea he has of a browser extension that gives you an exclamation mark on products features on the wiki, so you can be warned if the product you are considering has bad consumer rights or the company behind it has a shady history.
Even as someone from a country with relatively strong consumer protection (especially with regards to warranty and products breaking), I often find myself frustrated by enshittified or otherwise gimped products from greedy companies putting their bottom line and stakeholders above their customers.
It’s fascinating. If you have to spend huge amounts money and effort on monitoring and scewing public opinion… Perhaps it is time for some fucking introspection…(I know the biggest bastards in this system are incapable of that… But still…)
This. It is inconvenient, but it does help with the issue that systems constantly get compromised and credentials stolen.
I wish companies would support more user friendly technology like ubikey or similar instead…
Also SMS is extremely insecure, and relatively easy to spoof/steal.
The point of this method is that the music it self contains data that cannot be heard by our ears, but that causes the ai to encode the data completely wrong.
Like others have said. Watch the video, I swear it’s interesting and most likely worth your time. :)
