Do you make money by clicking on the link alone? Because I'll just click the link a bunch. But your fans don't have money to buy anything.

[@sboinkthelegday3892]

You almost apologize for the ad deal with explanation on why you would take them, but the only thing that got on my nerves was the legally mandated "this is a sponsorship" line. When jsut delivering it as part of the other news would have gone over much more smoothly for me. Protip, to not get caught delivering undeclared ads, just add a millisecond between frames telling me to purchase food, and I promise you, eventually I will. Honestly it's kinda Factor's own fault if they only give out compensation for affiliate links, having to perform market survey by such underhanded means. Because that only means they weren't good enough to be acquired by the company that sells ALL of the food, and that's just a failure in their practice of capitalism, that they can't simply deduct it form their own inventory. The ambiquity of having to figure out WHICH companies sold stock just comes from some companies being more of a failure than other ones, and I don't want to live in such a world.

7:42 At the end of the day it doesn’t really matter who killed Sonic, the real mystery that needs to be solved is whether they buried him in a child-sized coffin or a normal-sized coffin. It’s the question that been I’ve been losing sleep over for weeks.

[@timothytzovolos153]

Sonic was you're friend right? I think a child sized coffin would be disrespectful

[@ratronald]

because of how long his head is, he probably wouldn't fit in either. they probably used his vast wealth to make a custom one.

[@-Alluvium-]

I'm sorry to disappoint you but Sonic specifically asked to be cremated and placed in front of a strong fan, so that he can "Be as fast as the wind even in death" as he put it.

[@aortaplatinum]

He was actually presented to Yuji Naka as his final meal in prison. He helped bring him into this world, and now he's taking him out with him.

[@trendybistro]

It's a sonic sized coffin obviously.

Pinkerton was founded 173 years ago and is currently a subsidiary of Swedish-based Securitas AB.

[@megamaggotmrh9085]

My favorite part of the Animal Well showcase is how many people still call it "Dunkey's game" and how they're impressed by how good his game looks. Because publisher is the hardest word to comprehend. Or publishers are actually making the games and developers are just the face?

I don't know how I could've lived without Pregame Discharge. After finally discovering Lyle's beautiful creation my eyes have been opened, to see what true beauty really means!

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

9:45 You almost slipped there, Lyle. I heard that suppressed chuckle. On the subject of Budokai Tenkaichi 4, it's probably gonna be _both._ Every character will be available through unlock by gameplay, but then they'll have a dozen freaking costumes a piece that you can buy for real cash money.

[@OtakuUnitedStudio]

On the one hand, hiring the Pinkerton Detective Agency to forge that KZbin to hand his stuff back over does seem like a scummy thing to do. On the other, apparently Wizards and Hasbro attempted to contact him through phone and email about a dozen times over the course of two week and he ghosted them. He knew he shouldn't have had it but wanted to keep it anyway. But that should have been a normal lawsuit and not two guys in a Suburban knocking his door off the hinges (figuratively).

[@thecryingsoul]

For those wanting some more information; The chips the ROG Ally is using (Z1 and Z1 Extreme) appears to be binned versions of the AMD 7540, and the 7840, although these are newer chips than the one powering the steam deck, the 2x figure comes from the higher TDP limit than the Steam Deck of these chips. However, because the Ally WILL NOT have a larger battery, you will not be able to run it at this higher TPD for any longer duration, meaning that to achieve this you will likely bring down the battery life from about 2 hours to 30-40 minutes. As for the price, it is rumored that the low end ROG Ally will have a price point roughly matching that of the high end steam deck, and will ship with a 512gb drive, meaning it may be a valiant contender. Just be aware that you will not be reaching the advertised speed unless stuck to a power cord.

[@PlebNC]

Imagine having a tax system so bad a dating sim does a better job explaining it, especially when said tax system is redundant. The IRS already know how you owe them. The paper exists solely to try to catch you in a lie about what you think you owe. Meanwhile in the UK, most don't do that. Only self employed/employers do. Everyone else just has their taxes extracted directly out of your pay each month and if you think they took too much you can appeal it.

Lyle asked us to leave a comment if we used the tax-filing dating sim game. So I will offer myself up to the Altar of Weeb and say that I used the tool It basically isn't going to work for you. The girl inside of the game gives up on you if you have more baggage than being a single, employed man with no business of their own (just like in real life), but other than that it's a convenient tool and automatically fills in the paperwork you file going off whatever info you feed to it Or you can do what I did and lie the whole entire time to try and get her happy so she will have a conversation with you and then just retroactively tell the truth later after you got her to write the form. Now that this task has been completed When is Lyle going to come around and chop my head off before kicking the rest of my body into the blood pit so I don't infect the rest of the population?
