  • Aside from the analog sticks, the console itself seems like a fine upgrade from the original making it a tempting for anyone looking for “Switch Pro”. But it’ll be intersting to see how the price of games and the digital key aspect will affect the game sales down the line.

    Steam Deck and other portable pc:s seem to be also getting a lot of momentum so there’s increasing amount of competition for handheld devices which was not really the chase with Switch 1.







  • No need to get rude, the point is that:

    If you want group of people to be supportive for your cause then there are better ways than:

    • Try to blame them for things these people have nothing to do with, like actions of people more than century a go.
    • Convey them as villains in bullshit “us vs them” narrative.
    • Tell them to check their privilege while they may be just as well be living in poverty or otherwise be struggling.
    • Attacking them for not being woke enough.
    • etc

    I personally hate the modern day identity politics and it’s polarising narrative and this goes for both the left and the right or “woke” and “anti-woke” sides. This leads to radicalization of some and alienation of more moderate individuals from both sides of the spectrum. I also think that exclusion, scapegoating and vilification can lead to people and their supporters accepting their newly given role as a villain and start campaigning against what they where initially for.

    Haven’t paid much attention to Sam Harris for years, last time was probably around 2017 when some grouped him in to the “Intellectual dark web”. Based on this episode it seem that unlike Jordan Petterson, Harris has somewhat managed to avoid getting radicalized by his audience and/or haters. But it could be that he’s just really good acting calm and reasonable.

    Care to give any examples on these white washed centrists talking points that you’re most critical of?
