I hadn't even fully watched this vid and I still haven't at the time of typing this...but I got to the quote from him and the very first sentence of it...made me lose IQ points.  'I don't really understand the whole hybrid concept'.  .....Why?  I can't wrap my head around the whole concept of Pachter not understanding the concept.   Who the fuck says something like this with this console dominating  the charts for the past 22 months?  I can't....I just can't compute.
 
Edit:  Holy hell there's a 2nd part to his quote?  and what a fucking doozy start for this second paragraph  'And Nintendo isn't that smart'.  What the fuck am I listening to right now?  Yeah Nintendo makes some dumb ass shit decisions some times (case in point the whole Fire Emblem 20th anniversary digital limited release....smh)  but this company has been making money hand over fist with this system SINCE RELEASE.  It might not stay that way when the new consoles come out but people have been clearly digging what this system is and even more so during the pandemic.  Has Patchter just given up on even attempting to be taken seriously?  I feel like he's given up on anyone attempting to take him seriously now.

Awesome. The scenery there is so beautiful it almost looks like photoshop if you've never seen anything like it (and I hadn't. My girl told me that people used to accuse her of retouching her pics of the place)  We got a lot of beach time in, did some sailing, a lot of snorkeling, even did some parasailing.
 
The food was also pretty great! Pate is one of my favorite things ever and I'd had gas station pate before but we ended up stopping at this little soul food shack on the main drag and having some there and it was incredible. It's a beautiful place, we'll be going back at some point for sure!

I play my Switch in Docked mode most offend, and occasionally play in handheld tablet mode. 
I did play it once in tablet table set up, never again I rather lug with me a spare Dock. 

yep, I play mostly in portable mode... but one thing I love about this system is that I have the option to play it on my tv if I want.  More options is almost always a good thing.
 
This reminds me that I may need to play Hades mostly in console mode, because the text is super-small on the Switch screen.
 
I started Luminous Avenger iX today and oh yes... it's as awesome as I was expecting.  I only played that first mission so far but it's already a great first impression there.
 
I'm looking forward to the next Diablo 3 season...sheeeitttt, it's always a tough choice on what character I want to start with; I'm leaning towards Necromancer this time.  At this point, I doubt any game will surpass Diablo in total playtime for me.  It's absolutely insane... just from my 2 main versions xb1 and Switch, that's over 1000 hours (850-something from xb1, 245 or so on Switch) right there...
a shame my old college buddy never kept up with it; for a short time my crew included him, his wife and another friend, at least in terms of people who could potentially play it well and keep up with me.  Then there was the other friend who always had horribly built characters (*always hilarious hearing him lament "mannnn.. why are my characters so WEAK!?" 😄 well...that's the cost of silly ass decisions like putting an amethyst in a weapon slot instead of an emerald or ruby, bruh...it goes for any rpg sort of thing...build your characters RIGHT and they won't be weak chumps...dude running around as a level 70 witch doc, for example...with level 66 non-legendary leg armor.  BRUH what are you doing? 🤣) and another dude who had no shame in using all kinds of hacked/modded gear....fortunately that last person I only played with once.
 
...ah, I remember; my old buddy was a Demon Hunter, and his wife played Witch Doctor while I was a Wizard....always brings back memories since we've played other action-rpg stuff together; we're all big fans of Phantasy Star Online and played the hell out of that back in the day....along with Champions of Norrath on ps2.
 

My GF uses her in docked at my house and portable at her home. I use mine mostly portable but I have my dock now set up to work on my 2nd PC monitor when not in use. Guy just sounds mad he isn't the one spearheading such ideas for consoles. Switch is awesome in its current form factor. 

I bet if one where to argue this in court they could win on posting video with no commentary as the gameplay itself is Transformative. I cant play Battle Garrega the way Kamui can play Battle Garrega. 

If I where an investor, I would follow Michael Patcher and do the exact opposite of everything he says. I'd be fucking loaded. 

A physical game disc is just a software license in physical form.  It's not a physical good and the same rules don't apply.  This is a concept a lot of people don't understand.
 
If you buy a car,  you can sell off the parts or dismantle it, because it's an actual object you own.
 
When you buy a game, you don't have any ownership over the game, or even the files contained on the disc.  You simply have ownership of a plastic disc that lets someone play the game.  It's an important distinction.
 
You can't use music files on that disc for your own projects, you can't distribute the character model files you found on there, you can't really do anything except give the disc to someone else.  Whether you are profiting off of them or not isn't even relevant.  The files are simply not yours to use.
 
A lot of people think that because they bought a game in a store and they can hold it in their hands physical ownership applies.  Unfortunately games are IP, and that includes the files used to create them/contained on the disc.  You can't own a game just like you can't own Mickey Mouse.
 
A store-bought game is 100% the same as buying a ticket for a tertiary experience.  Selling a disc to someone else is literally the same as reselling/scalping a ticket.  The only difference is that it's allowed and not looked down upon.
 
For a long time people bought discs/cartridges because they were physically necessary to interface with the game -- but they've always been a license.  That's why when things go digital you can't re-sell anymore.  It's the same concept behind owning CD-keys.  Everything has always been about the RIGHT to play a game, not any ownership of the games themselves.
 
Click the 4-way arrow icon that appears when you hover over a quote.  The quote will now be outlined in blue.  Then you just have to hit backspace/delete on your keyboard.  This will delete the quote and should be the end of it.
 
If you're on mobile it's a bit more complicated because deleting quotes on mobile is kind of busted and I don't really have control over that.  In that case you can just refresh the page. 
 
The editor will often save what you had in the text window, but there's usually an option to clear the editor so you can get rid of it.

That's how I felt when I saw how Colleen Camp went. 

 
We'll always remember you, Yvette

So I watched Wayne's World for the first time yesterday. It's a pretty funny movie (1 watch only though).

I googled the main actress of the movie, mannnnnnn has she let herself go. I know it's 30 years later and all but she's.... fat now. Not thicc, just fat.

Profound sadness.

An attractive woman who *appears* to be into him (and at a glance she looks to be "of legal age" to me)... of course he was going to go for it....ha, even at 76 years old....but yeah, he saw what appeared to be an opportunity to get some and went with it.
 
..but lesson learned once again---don't ever fully trust anyone....even for a moment.   (*and I'm always tempted to add "..especially not women...at least now in modern times.")  It's always better to be safe than sorry, and avoid any situation that is a "gamble" in life.  

Yea the whole clip is fucking dumb as hell. Rudy a big ole dumb dumb. 
 
I got Vampyre through but i haven't started it. Everything I hear about it has been really positive so i hope to dig into it soon. Probably should before Cyberpunk comes out cuz if that's half as good as it looks then the res to the year is fucking done. 

Like I just watched it and I was already like.....oh shit, how dumb is this dude and our country?
 
Over here playing this free Vampyr game we got on psn getting my @MillionXon

I wasnt much a fan of the first one, but this second one sounding fucking gdlk already. 

He was trolled by Sacha Baron Cohen into going into a hotel room with a woman. At the moment the claim is the woman said she was underage and Giuliani went anyway. They filmed and there is a moment where he leans back on the hotel bed and starts fiddling with his pants. It obviously looks like he is about to whip out his pecker, but he says he was tucking his shirt in. Shortly after the "shirt tucking" Sacha runs is yelling that the girl is underage. 
 
Its a hella stupid look for Rudy no matter how he tries to spin it. 
 
Tucking in his shirt, no ones buying that bullshit bro!

Bout to watch Subsequent moviefilm. 
 
heard Giuliani was lead into a hotel room by an attractive lady with booze and refuses to admit he was feeding the geese. Just admit it, man 

Agreed. Let's talk about boobs.
 

Thats how we got ahead. Nice guys really do finish last, or at least pay $8/gallon for gas because they don't fuck up oil rich countries to get the resources. 
 
Speaking of which, I just went thru security at the St Thomas airport and they had to pull my sleep machine out a run it thru the security machine again basically holding up the line. I had one guy at the Atlanta airport years ago pull my PSP out and ask what it was, and he was a young dude. When we went to Japan we had a guy in our tour group who worked for TSA and his job was to think up new ways of sneaking things through security and he told us (after a few drinks) that the test agents failed to pick up on his new tricks like 90+ percent of the time. 
 
Every time I go through airport security, I think, "Yep, the terrorists definitely won." And I'm typing this on airport wifi so I expect I'll be on a watchlist now for this post. 😤

I agree with you. Seems to me that streaming would be like free advertising so I don't understand trying to clamp down on it unless the game sucks and the company wants to snooker people into buying it before everyone finds that out.

@AngelThat comparison is on the money.
