Though please be aware, generally when a link shows up on Facebook and gets formatted with a picture and a paragraph underneath it. This feature is controlled directly by the external sites integration with Facebook or social platform, and they can choose how much of the link is condensed or shown.

This is what seals the deal for me as the news companies being in the wrong here.

Yeah, broadcasting to the world that you’re playing a game that hasn’t been released yet isn’t a great idea. Particularly when it’s Nintendo. It’s pretty common knowledge how petty they are even with stuff that’s less flagrant

It doesn’t become useless, it just misses out on a bunch of useful features for the drives.

Still ridiculous, of course

They didn’t say “back”, but yeah, I get what you mean.

Like, I remember hearing about these folks when I was in school in Texas.

They heard about them. This could’ve been because when they lived in Texas, Texans told them about the group. Or because they studied trends in anti-vax movements when they went to school in Texas.

I think the original point was that the reader has to make assumptions about what they meant, and my point was that even clarifying the age doesn’t change that we’re still making an assumption about when they were in Texas.

Hm…I’m seeing that millennials are between 29 and 44. Even 29 is old enough to earn a PhD.

Either way, the older ones are definitely old enough to be talking about post-secondary.

So did you graduate from college last year? PhD, or reskilling? Following a passion?

(Still not enough info to know when it was! Haha)

Ah, I forgot about index and didn’t know about codices.

I’ll continue to use the plural “tissues”, though! Lol

It’s funny to me to see someone simultaneously prescriptively linguistic enough to use a Latin pluralization but not pedantic enough to use the proper non-genericized term for tissues, haha

What other word follows this?

They don’t specify though, and it should be at the content level, not the account level

its far to iphone(esk) in design

It’s far too iPhone-esque in design

“It’s” has the apostrophe because it’s “it” + "is

“too” has two o’s when there’s an excess of something. More stuff = more o’s!

“esque” is uh…just how it’s spelt

iPhone capitalization is just their branding.

I only commented to help with “esque”, but saw other things I could help with. Knowledge is power!

My decent Bluetooth headphones have the option to plug in a headphone cable to use them wired. I use it occasionally so I can reduce audio latency, which can be useful with gaming…and essential with rhythm games.

Because they display (or even host, potentially) content that’s “illegal” in Turkey.

What they should probably be doing is just hiding said content from users in Turkey…and encouraging users in Turkey to use VPNs, lol

Is there a lot of overlap between people who can’t afford a cellphone and are taking flights?

Yes, there will be consequences. Things will get better for those businesses!

To clarify, I don’t think the writers did anything wrong. The headline will be misleading because Nintendo’s being somewhat misleading.

I don’t know how much the headline could be improved, if at all.

Nintendo says NS2 GC controller will only “officially” support GC games

Or if they can’t quote “officially”, they could quote “only”. Which could arguably be more clickbaity, but also clue in a casual reader that there’s more to what Nintendo officially says.

It’s somewhat misleading. It’s not providing the additional background information, and it leads the headline with the claim (not that Nintendo is making a claim).

I don’t think it’s a bad headline. It’d be hard to include all the information in the headline. But if someone only reads the headline (something like 73% of people), they could end up with a mistaken conclusion. And those people will have been lead in that direction (so, mislead).

The games don’t drop in price, but the consoles do. There’s even a chance the price could go down for the holiday season, even if it’s something miniscule. This launch price is the early adopter tax.

Unfortunately, I use some software that’s Windows-only, and can’t be bothered to set up a VM or anything

I imagine it’s easier to catch uploaders than viewers.

It’s also probably more impactful to go for the big “power producers” simultaneously and quickly before word gets out and people start locking things down.

Canadian here: What’s the difference? /s
