  • For systems that grade on a 1 to 5 scale, subtract 1 from your average grade to get your GPA (for example, if you have a 4.3 out of 5 average grade, you would have a 3.3 GPA). Not sure how to handle a grading system that goes from 1- to 5+.

  • What currently ongoing series, if they maintain their current quality level - have a chance to be all time greats?

    Jump

  • The issue with South Park is that it targets a narrow audience and I am not part of it. The best episodes are going to be studied as master pieces of political humor, but when I try to watch it in season order, those episodes are sandwiched between episodes that are offensive and obscene just for shock value. I am not opposed to those episodes existing but watching them feels like a waste of time.

  • Amazon is making it impossible to remove the DRM from Kindle Books

  • Pokémon Formally Submits to the Department of Homeland Security's Use of Ash Ketchum and Pokémon Series Theme Tune

  • You mean the fact that ICE parodied Pokemon cards? I imagine it would fall under "fair use". Plus, a lawsuit is only useful if a court enforces it. A judge is not going to be awarding massive damages against a government agency over a joke

  • Do all American stores have greeters?

    Jump

  • It seems like Massachusetts Best Buys did not get the memo. I hear all these stories about people hating Best Buy over pushy employees and have the opposite experience. The stores only have 1-2 employees on the floor and the duty of those employees seems to be to hide from customers. If I ever need help finding an item or want something from a locked display, I have to spend 15-20 minutes running around the store trying to catch a ninja.

  • Palfarm Trailer - Palworld Spin-Off Game

    Jump

  • Wasn't that the Pocket Pair game before Palworld?

  • Pokémon Pokopia – Nintendo Direct 9.12.2025

    Jump

  • Perhaps they want the extra system resources to have a larger and more dynamic world?

  • Nintendo's Greed could Change the Tech Industry

    Jump

  • And did they get any interesting results from the analyzer?

  • Nintendo Switch 2 Has Sold 2 Million Units in the U.S., 75% Ahead of the Switch 1's Pace

    Jump

  • Both the ongoing strong sales and good availability suggest that Nintendo was prepared this generation and had plenty of consoles in warehouses prior to launch.

  • Hot Seat Advert

    Jump

  • Judging by the little burb, this was a device that allows the player to control the d-pad by shifting their weight from one butt cheek to the other? Cool, I guess but I don't understand why that is more immersive.

    Is it an accessibility device being marketed to idiots to cover minimum order volume (like the Slap Chop or Snuggie)?

  • Do people still wear these caps in the water?

    Jump

  • Keeping skin pretty is completely out of the realm of reasons for religious coverings tho

    Isn't it? I assumed that that is a big reason that religions that start in a desert demand that all members, regardless of gender, cover most of their skin in clothing

    "Son, wear your long sleeve shirt. You know how prone you are to sun burn."

    "But dad, it is so hot outside and my clothes are so stuffy and I will only be outside for 15 minutes, tops."

    "Well guess what, son. I just spoke to God and he told me that boys who don't wear long clothes outside go to hell. That is why you turn red and painful from sunburn, to remind you that you will roast in hell."

  • Pokémon Legends: Z-A‘s Real-Time Combat Is Really Changing Things Up

    Jump

  • So a Switch 2 game where you walk around the real world and catch Pokemon? I see a bunch of issues with it:

    • The S2 does not have mobile Internet, so they would need to preload maps of the entire world and put out constant game patches to keep them current. Any multiplayer content will only be playable when the player is home (or by a Wi-Fi hotspot).
    • The S2 does not have GPS. Would they track location by polling the joycon accelerometer every second and moving the player character 2 inches down the street? You would be to start every play session from a known location and keep the S2 running for the entire play session. Also, the longer you play, the more the errors in your location will add up.
    • The S2 does not have a rear camera, so you cannot do AR, only a fantasy background.

  • Pokemon Go or Pokemon Let's Go? I would love a new Let's Go. I would also love the old games to be released on Switch Online (or stand alone) with full Pokemon Home integration.

  • Anyone got anything they wanna talk about?

    Jump

  • Your journalism degree makes you a more well rounded person. Also, there is an overlap between journalism and IT: tech news, tech blogging, tech review, etc.

    Have you given any thought about what your next steps will be?

  • Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed

    Jump

  • They left entirely? Not just tuned out the group until the topic of conversation moved on?

  • Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed

    Jump

  • The article argues that extremist views and echo chambers are inherent in public social networks where everyone is trying to talk to everyone else. That includes Fediverse networks like Lemmy and Mastodon.

    They argue for smaller, more intimate networks like group chats among friends. I agree with the notion, but I am not sure how someone can build these sorts of environments without just inviting a group of friends and making an echo chamber.

  • Study: Social media probably can’t be fixed

    Jump

  • If you read the article, the argument they are making is that you cannot fix social media by simply tweaking the algorithm. We need a new form of social media that is not just everyone screaming into the void for attention, which includes Lemmy, Mastodon, and other Fediverse platforms.

  • Nice try… Frito Lay

    Jump

  • I was replying to someone who did not specify a "minimalist red maple leaf on a white background". They said that Canada should trademark all depictions of maple leafs on all product packaging.

    I was also joking. I should know by now that people on the Internet are bad at picking up my tone.

  • What about maple syrup? American made syrup has every right to the leaf, to represent the tree of origin.

    You geese did not invent the maple tree.
