It seems superfluous to complain about a word’s use when you don’t have a better alternative. Language is ever growing and evolving, especially slang. An English speaking time traveler would not be able to communicate very well with English speakers from 500 years ago. Let people have their things.

List of a few of Nintendo's new IPs from the last 15 or so years:

  • Arms
  • Good Job!
  • 1-2 Switch
  • Dillon
  • Splatoon
  • Snipperclips
  • Pushmo
  • Steel Diver
  • Fluidity
  • Nintendoland

Just because you aren't buying/playing them doesn't mean they aren't making them. Let's also not ignore the amount of time to develop a game has increased significantly or how gamers overwhelmingly choose to buy games from well-known IP. They are a company and need to pay their employees. I'm not a fan of Nintendo's litigation practices, but I'm also not a fan of how whiny and bitchy gamers have become. If they aren't whining and or bitching, they are harassing developers and actors.

Careful, don't bring logic into this or offended white people might collectively ignore you entirely and keep complaining.

he’ll be in jail by January.

Sigh - no he won't, so can we stop pretending like he will ever face punishment for anything?

Anyway, my gripe with the age talk wasn’t that age doesn’t matter; it was that Biden was being hammered on it as if Trump is somehow better in that regard.

Pretty much this. People kept harping about Biden's issues with speaking due to his age while somehow completely ignoring that Trump makes no sense in his blathering rambling at any point and hasn't made any sense in years, but I wonder how much of that was manufactured by MAGA hats because age is literally the only sane argument they had against Biden. Reading transcripts of Trump's bull shit was mind-numbing and he's pushing 80 too.

I'll mourn them but now knowing this gross imbalance of funding it's frustrating that CEO still has a job - and they will surely get a golden parachute while every other employee will just lose their job.
