I think it's time for me to go to bed, you almost had me

I can easily get 500 megawatts with a few power towers burning rocket fuel, plus I don't have to worry about the logistics of recycling uranium and plutonium waste.

I'm unrelated news, the Satisfactory 1.0 update is pretty great. What are we talking about again? Oh sorry gotta go build another heavy modular frames factory

He coulda just slipped the word "sentient" in to the monologue where he explains his plan. I don't think that would have impacted pacing at all.

Thanos' snap wouldn't kill 50% of each survivors' gut microbiome, it would kill 50% of all the lil buggies that compromise all gut microbiomes, and if the snap effects individuals randomly, you'd see a normal distribution (I think, I haven't taken stats in a decade). So some survivors would retain 100% of their microbiome, some would lose it all, with a bell curve in between, probably with the peak around 50%.

because, without words we communicate with our eyes

IDK, the original and the edit both communicate way more mystique and mischievousness than the one with her eyes visible

That's pretty much exactly how you first learn to do arithmetic. Break the (whole) numbers down into their smallest (whole) part and count em up. That's what number lines do, or using colored blocks to visually do the addition, or any number of other techniques you use when you're first learning arithmetic. I mean, even just knowing 3 + 3 = 6 is memorization, a shortcut form of 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 + 1 = 6.

I watched it on an international flight after a couple whiskey and cokes and had a great time

They also like women's underwear because of the pheromones.

You really just casually slipped that in there huh

Or they could just, I don't know, not burn out console after console running them constantly so they don't have to spend exuberantly.

  1. You're grossly overestimating the number of consoles they would "burn through" by having a few of their original original hardware set up in their museum. If you're worried about them running constantly, they could easily have a couple consoles per station that get swapped between throughout the day so that no one console is ever on for more than a few hours. People used their regularly NESes and SNESes for several years, I'm sure you could stretch that to decades of you had the expertise and resources of the company that invented the hardware behind you.

  2. You're grossly overestimating the amount of money it would cost to maintain original hardware. As another user said, hobbyists can maintain an original system themselves for decades using mostly off-the-shelf parts. The rare occurrences where a proprietary Nintendo part needs replaced wouldn't cost tens of millions of dollars. There's thousands of shops that can manufacture small runs of custom ICs or circuit boards for a few thousand bucks. They wouldn't need to maintain a custom multi-million dollar facility.

to produce old and completely antiquated hardware that they can already emulate on there current hardware.

Then emulate on your current hardware, if you're going to use emulation! Don't use a Windows emulator from who-knows-where, when you've repeatedly made clear that you're against other parties emulating your hardware! That's certainly more embarrassing by the way, if your Windows emulator crashes and museum goers are greeted by a Windows BSOD or whatever, instead of the Switch home screen or the Nintendo Online interface.

What do think Nintendo does there development on?

We're talking about NES/SNES games here (which Nintendo doesn't develop anymore, btw), because that's what they were caught using a Windows PC and a Windows emulator for. So either they're using someone else's emulator, or they ported the emulator that runs on the switch to run on Windows (which would be a huge undertaking, considering the architecture and OS differences between a Nintendo Switch and a Windows PC).

If you mean Switch emulators, that's just piracy

Emulation is not piracy.

I thought they had included ripped ROMs

Some of the ROMs on their official library contained signatures from popular ROM rippers, which indicates they straight up just downloaded them from one of the various ROM sites they've been trying to shut down for the last couple decades.

It's there IP, they can choose what's allowed to be done with it. If they want to emulate it, they can.

That's fine, I don't have a problem with anyone emulating anything, including Nintendo. My problem lies with their hypocrisy. If they want to emulate NES/SNES games in their own museum, go for it. But at least use your own emulator on your own hardware, given they have the ability to easily do that. Using a Windows PC and a Windows emulator for that is hypocritical.
