Opinions exclusively of my own and of voices in my head.

Autism, communism, arthitism, cannabism.

  • Nintendo raises the Switch 1 price from $299 to $339 / The Switch OLED price jumped by $50 on Sunday, to $399.99.

  • Yes, please do. Don’t leave me hanging.

  • If liberals call pedo anyone they disagree with now we’ve reached a new low I guess. Funnily enough I’m just a socialist and I try to signal my disgust with Trump as clearly as possible not too confuse liberals too much.

    Here are couple of more shockers:

    • Unions in the US were at their strongest when immigration was at its lowest because immigrants are capital’s labour reserve army. Karl Marx knew as much.
    • Current US economic model that Trump is destroying was based on exploitation of its vassals. Liberals are angry because in his own stupidity Trump is destroying that evil but cozy empire.

  • Thats not my dream, I’m not even American, it’s the Americans that voted for it. It’s the dream world where Nintendo cannot afford not to, as far as I understand. Seems doable even if I cannot imagine that transition won’t suck.

  • Cannot? That’s super defeatist. US had pretty good electronics manufacturing capability until somewhat recently.

  • It’s not that rare earth minerals are this rare, it’s that their extraction is extremely bad for the environment so most western countries are happy to make it a brown people problem.

  • Trump is a moron in general and his narcissistic/hyperactive behaviour is cringe-worthy but fabs don’t get built in a single term. Biden continued many of Trumps policies because they were popular, funding ICE and increasing deportations included.

  • We’re good for now, at least on surface. Given that Switch 2 prices in the US didn’t go up after tariffs it seems like we’re subsidising Yanks for some reason. There’s also Japan-exclusive region-locked Switch 2 SKU that’s about $350.

  • What are the resources required to build electronics that are unavailable in the US? There’s no infrastructure, yeah, but saying a country the size of US is limited in what’s available resource-wise sounds silly.

  • All you’re saying it’s complex and that it will take time. Americans put a man on the moon, they’re a resourceful bunch. Some got pretty lazy though.

    I don’t think people in Asia are different from others and will likely be interested in pivoting their economies to be less dependent on a single thing. China already started so things moved to Vietnam, Indonesia etc. which for now are cheaper. Eventually „the west” is going to run out of places to outsource dirty work to. Colonialism is visibly losing steam, hence the rise of fascism which is just colonialism pointed inwards.

  • Why? Do you mean the only viable model is to outsource cheap labour to Asia forever? People over there will move on eventually.

  • It’s not viable without upsetting those who benefit from status quo, that’s for sure. Many people don’t seem to be happy with that status quo though. They picked wrong answer to the correct question but they weren’t that far off.

  • Well, long term Americans could be making Nintendo Switches domestically. They’d be more expensive but blue collar workers could be making more money. It’s not entirely dumb as everyone here paints it even if the implementation is laughably bad. Previous term Orange man made TSMC build a cutting-edge fab which by now is operational which is also pretty important for supply chain security in case China invades Taiwan. Europe would be fucked because we didn’t do enough for domestic manufacturing. Of course Orange man can’t make up his mind between using tariffs to forward personal agenda and meddling with internal politics of trading partners of the US but sometimes he gets it right. Toys being slightly more expensive is probably lower than tan spray on his list of priorities.

  • How does amount of units sold in one country that decided to enact tariffs relates to prices of products sold between other sovereign countries? I would like to emphasise that world doesn’t revolve around the US and that US citizens democratically made it clear that they are no longer interested in attempting to make it so.

  • Video game console prices didn’t rise because Brazil has high tariffs on electronics.

  • I'm an undiagnosed, presumably autistic person. Pretending to be one makes me feel comfy womfy.

  • Yes, this joint and movement is part of Beighton Score which is a measure of hypermobility and a sign of a connective tissue disorder. I won’t go as far as saying that if you’re hypermobile then you’re autistic but I know plenty of autistic people and almost all are hypermobile. When I was researching a hereditary condition that could run in my family (turned out to be correct) I spoke to some I haven’t been in contact for a long time and got surprised reactions like how did I know they could bend like rubber or how did I know grandma could too.

  • Read as much as you can on autism, preferably written from autistic and neurotypical perspectives. There are things about autism that seem to be common knowledge among autistic people that NTs and science seem to be completely oblivious about. There are also things that autistic people attribute to autism but are result of usual comorbidities.

    When thinking about what is normal it is common to be thrown off by what your family is like. Autism is highly heritable and it’s very likely that if you’re autistic then at least one of your parents autistic is too even if they don’t know it.

    If you’re after something objectively verifiable on your own then look into joint hypermobility - if you can dislocate some of your joints at will then it’s surprisingly likely that you’re some form of neurodivergent. My mind was blown by some of the recent studies in that area. I wasn’t that angry about not being diagnosed earlier when it comes to how my mind works because I found ways to cope. I was angry because it turns out that there’s a whole slew of physical conditions that seem to be specific to autism that doctors aren’t aware of usually and will never consider because of their own misconceptions about autism.

    Once you understand how autism works you’ll know. By the time I got formally diagnosed I didn’t have any doubt about it myself even though I would laugh at the idea couple of months before.

  • Nintendo Switch prices are going up [in the US] after this weekend

  • Nintendo tends to keep their previous-gen as a budget option. Wii Mini launched as Wii U was coming out, same with New 2DS XL and Switch.
