Why would they even do that? It takes next to no effort or cost to write the games to a disc. I'd bet it's even cheaper that way, as it won't eat any bandwidth on their servers.

I wonder if it has more or less to do with inventory stock and space, but most boxes can hold multiple discs so...yeah I guess inventory is not a valid argument.

And like darkx said, there is no way 10 mega man games + extras is anywhere near the size of BotW.

Nintendo always does shit like this


You realize it's Capcom, right

If they're basically cutscenes that you want to hear all of, then just treat it like a cutscene


But they're not cutscenes. They let you move, but limit you. So it's like...full control is held just out of reach, but is kind of there? And at least with cutscenes there's a clear ending and usually a break between it ending and you playing again.


Just tell yourself they're cutscenes, man. >_>

Is it as disingenuous as comparing one instance of gun violence from 7 years ago to a thing that happens multiple times a year in the US?


the US is a gazillion times bigger than norway so that isn't a great comparison.

it would be good to compare the US to europe. wouldn't be surprised at all if there's way more gun violence in the US for reasons stated in this topic, but i'm fairly certain "europe has no problems with gun violence at all" is not correct.


For what it's worth, we absolutely destroy the UK and Germany. We had 3.85 violent gun deaths per 100,000 people in 2016 compared to them having 0.07 and 0.12 respectively.

There's also:

"One more way to consider this data: The IHME also estimates what it would expect a country's rate of gun violence deaths to be based solely on its socioeconomic status. By that measure, the U.S. should only be seeing .79 deaths per 100,000 people almost five times less than its actual rate of 3.85 deaths per 100,000."

Gun violence in the US has been significantly dropping over the past several decades, and it's not because of laws passed.


Source?

https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/wonk/wp/2015/12/03/weve-had-a-massive-decline-in-gun-violence-in-the-united-states-heres-why/


So there's a bit of a problem with this. Mainly that it's using data that's three years old. Those rates have been rising since 2015. So saying that it's "naturally declining" is dishonest, since it's going back up.

But being dishonest tends to be your thing so

Do you even math? Assuming a two year increase in 2016 and 2017, that does not signify the end of a clear trend.


Three year increase, actually, since 2015 was an increase over 2014.

And 2018 is on pace for another increase

Also, your "trend" was stability, not decrease. It decreased about 10-15 years ago and then was stable since.

If you don't want to be passive compliant with police, then you deserve anything that happens to you, pretty much.

Yikes


I think it's a fair thing to say. By all means, if you're being compliant and the police still do something wrong, then they should by all means be held 100% accountable, and the system needs to change so that that actually happens

But if you purposely resist, then you're basically inviting for them to react in whatever way they're going to react

So, really, if you hate/distrust the police, then I'd be placing my bets on being compliant being less of a risk than flat out basically giving them the freedom to do what they want by resisting.

Yeah, this whole story is stupid. She could just not fly if they wouldn't let her bring a rodent onto the plane


Well, it's not quite as clear cut as that

She was flying BACK from somewhere on a deadline. The first airline allowed the hamster onboard, and Spirit told her over the phone (apparently twice) that, yes, she could bring the hamster onboard their flight, too. So she flew out, did whatever, got ready to fly back... And they went "Nope." So there is definitely some blame on their end.

That said, a normal reaction is not "I'll flush it," so she's still a psychopath

No it still sounds pretty ludicrous.

Seriously, if your belief system is based on something above and beyond, how can you just "choose" to believe one thing and not another? Is it whatever is convenient to your lifestyle? Sounds pretty broken to me.

Because these "things" are up to interpretation, and often from different sources. Like people have said, for instance, Jesus never says anything about homosexuality.

It's pretty simple to understand how this happens and is not at all "ludicrous."

There is definitely room for interpretation. Diehard Christians argue about interp issues all the time without being any less diehard for it.

But textual interpretation only goes so far before it becomes distortion. If you believe that 90% of the Bible is allegory/fable, I think it's intellectually dishonest to continue to call that Christianity. Same thing if you want to cut out the supernatural elements and just have a philosophy about how to live one's life. You can call it something else! That's okay!

Like maybe you think Jesus was a good dude with a lot of insights into societal reform, and you'd like to live by the principles he espoused during his life, but you don't believe in any of that "divinity" or "salvation" stuff. That's not even religious any more (since religion has to do with a higher power), let alone Christian, but it probably means you're kind/compassionate to the poor and downtrodden, which is a good thing.


Well, right. I was merely replying to his assertion that it's literally all or nothing. Even if it IS all or nothing, interpretation is still going to cause differences.

MWC I usually dont argue with you man, but this is the same as an episode of something like Saved by the Bell where they have to raise money for charity or something. Its not a real competition, its a tv show with an arc about trying to raise money for a new court for the basketball team before the big game, and in the process they are giving out real money to the charities that inspired the shows episode


That's fine. But in this case they are giving more money to the charity that the Saved by the Bell characters raises the most money on the show.


Nothing says they have to make equal donations

I mean, it's not hard to understand

What happened:
WWE went to a bunch of charities. Said "We're going to donate $10,000 to you as part of this event blah blah wrestling blah blah details."

What MWC apparently thinks happened:
WWE went to a bunch of charities. Said "YOU COULD WIN $100,000 OMG AREN'T YOU SO EXCITED?! HOPE YOUR TEAM WINS!"

Spoilers: The latter did not happen

I feel like MWC would argue that Ben Affleck dressing up as Batman for a children's birthday party would constitute identity theft

"But he portrayed himself as Batman!"

I don't think it's a competition


It's being treated as one. That's why it's felony fraud, or incredible clincompetence from the leaders of the charities...


No it's not. It's being treated as a wrestling event, which everybody knows is pre-determined. It's a glorified donation.

Try again.

It's 200k behind in addition to having US/UM. Pokmon is doing the best it's done in a decade. I think the Switch iteration will really break out.

I dunno, I guess I overestimated Pokemon GO boost


To be fair, it only had a year before the "superior versions" came out, and a little over half a year before they were announced.

To be fair I think there's a bit of a sampling bias there in that I think people who search for wrestling merch are more likely to search for the guys with the most merch (Cena and Roman) than say AJ Styles or whoever else.


I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying people who are likely to search for merch to buy are more likely to search for Cena/Roman? How does that really change anything?
