Methodology is important to a robust result. It's weird that you take issue with their considerations there.

I haven't got very many gigantic third party titles, but nearly my entire Switch library (46 games) fits on the internal storage with 25 GB to spare.

I think the hardware has a lot of promise, but it's fair to say that at this very instant there aren't many exclusives to justify it if you aren't excited about Mario Kart.

If you have a backlog of Switch games, or you have favorites you're frequently playing on Switch, the improved processing power and loading times could be attractive, even if your games don't have resolution/framerate patches. For example, Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition loads battles in a snap, and doesn't have any framerate issues during gameplay anymore (although it is still capped at like 30 FPS in cutscenes, sadly.)

There's a couple other neat things about it, but likely not too relevant to anyone who's on the fence about the console.

I did not have Zimbabwean tariff rate hyperinflation on my 2025 bingo card.

Oh this is awesome. I can see so many cool applications for this in wearable electronics and custom form factor batteries. I hope their research into improving the voltage pays off.

It is fair to say that my perspective was much the same as what you are saying. Thank you for the explanation, I will try to let go of some of those misconceptions.

This may just be my ignorance, but aren't nonbinary and transgender mutually exclusive?

In any case, it appears like you are making efforts to better yourself, so I hope that you can move on and make the world around yourself better too. 👌

They already offer a subscription service. And on top of that they have not-so-microtransactions in their shop.

The rarest human resource there is: good management.

Even though it's a corporate spokesperson, they wouldn't have requested anonymity if they were allowed to talk about it...

Are mastodon users stupid or just on a which hunt?

After the point in time where you made the connection, you will see activity start coming in from their connections. So you should gradually see their followers populate as those people make new posts, which get federated to your instance through your connection to them.

Especially if the connection you made is the first time the remote instance has been interacted with, it's going to look barren at first because there is basically no capability to sync history. You can think of it like an RSS feed.

(This is oversimplified - it's possible that ActivityPub might allow for historical items to be synced just like RSS publishers can choose to include older data. I would speculate that it's not commonly done for bandwidth reasons if it is possible.)

A downside to this is that if you're trying to read through historical posts (from before you made the connection) you will have to click through to the hosting instance to get a complete view.

An upside to this is that because you only see content posted after the connection is established, you are guaranteed to be seeing new posts from active users.
