Its an interesting sentiment... but ultimately it just rings a bit hollow yeah? As if nearly anyone would work 40 hours a week if they didnt have to. You think if 100 people were given enough money to cover their housing/food/leisure/travel they would go to a factory job 40 hours a week? Or even a job they enjoyed or had fun at? Or would they spend their time with loved ones, doing things they enjoy, filling their lives with interesting experiences they can enjoy in the moment and reflect back on?

I enjoy my job quite a bit, It even has value to me in that it contributes to society in a fulfilling way, but 100% I am looking forward to not being obligated to do it

What is the objectively correct price for this food?

Huh, never had that one I dont think. I wonder what that is

I have 4 people that use it on my account, it plays music just fine. Makes playlists, finds similar artist, View artist/album on long press, add to current list now or at the end, etc...

Actually has some interesting and unique features (like I can add stuff from youtube app or desktop even to a playlist and it will be in the playlist on TYM later on.)

What does it not do for you?

My personal and never-asked-for wish is fairly small - Backlit buttons. Id like the ABXY and Steam/start/select/Menu button to have a faint glow to them with a toggle on/off/dim in the menu. Maybe even the analog stick could glow where the current sticks are white.

For the gen pop I think the low hanging fruit of upgrades people would actually be interested in would be:

• Battery upgrade, or some kind of switch-like efficiency upgrade that makes the battery much more effective
• Some kind of screen improvement, be it smaller bezels or an OLED option or even both.
• A general change in the ergonomics based on user feedback. I personally like the deck as is but Ive been surprised by stuff I didnt notice before

Beyond that its going to be niche improvements that some people may find interesting and others not so much:

• SD and USB slot changes (additions, change in position)
• Various internal changes with the hard drive or upgradability options

Not believing in it without any evidence? Wow, I bet youre one of the atheist the graph is talking about.

Thats just what people say when people want to categorize some idea as a religion. "wokeness" or even atheism itself is called a "religion" because it makes the religious feel better about believing in their own beliefs for which there is no basis.

I think more Lemmy users need to learn that the upvote and downvote buttons aren’t meant to be used to indicate agreement and disagreement respectively, it’s to indicate if a comment is valuable contribution to the discussion regardless of whether or not you agree.

Not saying I disagree in any way, but this will never ever happen. Its the same idea on reddit and its basically been a lost fight, its the "I like/dont like this comment" button 99% of the time, and I just dont see widespread adoption of the "quality of content" idea ever taking hold on a site that is open to the gen public.

The same kind of applies to your 3rd point... Why people feel the need to add a 4,600 "I like firefox" to a thread about Chrome I will never know, but they do and always will.

That was kind of my arm chair guestimate of how it worked, that it wasnt truly lost for good but transferred around

I had an initial period where I played it a bunch, then I decided I have a few more Switch games to get through and then that will become a dust collector mostly, until I want to replay something many years from now. After this year or so I imagine it will be seeing tons of usage.

I suppose I could say I bought it a bit prematurely, but given that I have been using it and so has my son its been a fine purchase

You could argue that knowing (almost) anything with a name to it isnt really knowing "how" to play, its literally a memorization of the best moves to a certain point in the game. When you move outside of those named movesets is when you really need to know how to play the game.

Knowing how to play is as basic as simply knowing how the pieces move, and then moving into things like undefended pieces, discovered checks, double checks, forking, threats, sacrifices, and then even higher level stuff like "gaining a tempo", endgame combo's, and yes even the rarely executed windmill haha.

Which is to say... dont get too caught up in the names of stuff if you are just playing for fun, just focus on the mechanics and tactics

Except according to him his website isnt even making any.... after like 20 years online.
