Syndrome was at least somewhat sympathetic, you can see how he got to where he was. Musk is more like Tighten, a loser who lucked into his "power" and abuses it thinking he's owed and still thinks he's a hero

His mugshot is always hilarious to see. You just know he practiced that looking for an expression that made him look tough and defiant, and he settled on "toddler intentionally shitting their pants because you said it's time for bed" as his look of choice?

Stalking would be one thing, reads to me like the idea is training a language model on the ex's texts to create an AI partner that acts like them so you can pretend nothing happened, which while probably safer for the other person than being stalked (as long as the training texts are never leaked which is a big if) is just sad

Or how he bragged about him and his best friend Jeff having the same taste in "Women on the younger side"

Used to love that band, their concept album about the early years of superhero Spawn was dope. Can't stand to listen to them now knowing that terrorist was a major part of it.

Was technically possible to dump the unique cert with a modded Switch prior to this so even used games bought before could technically be impacted, but there was no real reason to do so since modded Switches and emulators would work just fine without it. Since it's required to use the flash cart this dumper is a companion to the risk goes up dramatically

Nintendo Switch cartridge based games have a file that's unique to each individual cartridge. The dumper and accompanying flash cart make use of that file. If Nintendo detects two people playing while connected to the internet with the "same" cartridge, there's a high chance of them banning both consoles. So any used game anyone buys after this point runs the risk that someone dumped it, maybe an old owner who resold, maybe someone who bought and returned it, etc, which means even a legitimate user who hasn't even heard of the flash cart could get banned. There's also the potential issue of people using the tech in the flash cart once people figure out how to use those chips to sell bootlegged reproduction cartridges that have the same issue

Interesting. I wonder if it's a universal thing that'll happen to varying degrees on any game, or specific to Minecraft (or ones in whatever necessary way "similar") with other games performing better natively

Was a puzzle platformer rather than pure platformer, but I think Mario vs Donkey Kong might count?

There's a guest appearance by John Barron.

I don't know if he actually did, but I always get a kick out of the idea that he dug out that old alias he had to burn in order to name another kid after himself since Don Jr was already taken. Wouldn't surprise me if someone did some digging and found someone named Eric that was mysteriously defending him at some point as an unsurfaced alias

They'd need to get a notary for the notary to pay in their made up Monopoly money, then a notary for the notary for the notary, and so on and so forth. Less of a hassle to use real money just this once.

The serpent is basically the first teacher within the story, a Prometheus like character freeing mortals from oppression by unjust gods to make their own decisions. Makes me wonder how the Greeks viewed Prometheus in his story (though not enough to actually look it up), to me Prometheus seems the obvious hero of the tale, but did they view him the way people view the serpent?
