Yeah I think the market for “I will also use this as a laptop” is so small that the vast majority of people wont factor that in, and for the 19 people that will genuinely use this as a traveling computer it will be great for them. But by and large I think 90% of people that wanted a “switch but for my PC games” already jumped on the steamdeck backwagon and there just arent that many more sales to pick up from that market segment

Its a major use, but only for a niche number of people. I think theres Very, very, very few people that would get this that dont already have a main computer and/or a laptop, so the usage of this as a portable computer, while very cool and interesting, is not going to be what millions of people are doing

Except according to him his website isnt even making any… after like 20 years online.

You could argue that knowing (almost) anything with a name to it isnt really knowing “how” to play, its literally a memorization of the best moves to a certain point in the game. When you move outside of those named movesets is when you really need to know how to play the game.

Knowing how to play is as basic as simply knowing how the pieces move, and then moving into things like undefended pieces, discovered checks, double checks, forking, threats, sacrifices, and then even higher level stuff like “gaining a tempo”, endgame combo’s, and yes even the rarely executed windmill haha.

Which is to say… dont get too caught up in the names of stuff if you are just playing for fun, just focus on the mechanics and tactics

Im just a cheapskate r/patiengamer that prefers to buy used or on sale and sell the game after Ive completed it and have no intention of replaying it.

reddit hasnt found a way to make profit without paying people who run their site for free, there is zero chance they start now.

I had an initial period where I played it a bunch, then I decided I have a few more Switch games to get through and then that will become a dust collector mostly, until I want to replay something many years from now. After this year or so I imagine it will be seeing tons of usage.

I suppose I could say I bought it a bit prematurely, but given that I have been using it and so has my son its been a fine purchase

That was kind of my arm chair guestimate of how it worked, that it wasnt truly lost for good but transferred around

Twitter wasnt saddled with 44B in debt, That was the purchase price, which included $13B in debt

Alot like Trumps promise to do the same thing would be my guess

The last thing Twitter needs right now is to find more clever and creative ways to spend money, especially on other peoples legal problems
