Square mostly ditched Nintendo because of the bad blood over Secret of Mana and Final Fantasy 4. Basically back in the day, Square was given hints about the SNES and wrote FF4 back when they only had its specs. Then the actual dev kit came out and they had to get rid of a lot of shit. But then they negotiated with Sony to make a SNES CD expansion to match SEGA's CD. Secret of Mana was purely designed for it.

Then the deal fell through because of just pissing matches between Nintendo and Sony. They had to axe 3/4s of what they had for Secret of Mana, and a good chunk of it was reworked into Chrono Trigger. This made Square leery and despise Nintendo for doing that to them twice in a row. The final final straw was them again realizing Nintendo was going to make a cartridge console.

That made them say "Fuck this" and they joined Sony because of spite.

I don't think there's ever been a better example of failing upwards than Nintendo; all the dumbass mistakes they've made and bridges they've burned should have ended the company decades ago, yet through dumb luck (and maybe a handful of sensible people at the company) they've endured.

So I randomly found Bob's video review of when dinosaurs ruled the earth he made for screw attack back in 2015 and really it's almost a shame he became such a cow.

When he's not showing his fat face or going on about being a middle aged manchild coonsoomer he's not bad. Kinda funny or at least his videos are something you could watch to kill an afternoon or evening with. (though I can see some of his later in life personality in its early stages)

You'd hardly believe this is the same movie Bob who pose in a Mario costume, tweet about how much he loves Star Wars and buys whatever plastic crap he can despite not having a real job, and ultimately got told to Fuck off by a girl he white knighted for.

Agreed - but this observation explains Bob's emergence into premier douchenozzle status.

By Bob's age, most people reach some of life's more meaningful milestones. Some are good fathers to children, great friends, a good son, an executive or at least supervisor of something, lots of things. You put energy into these roles and it creates meaning and identity.

And Bob's dumb ass? His identity is hating every inch of land between New York and California and the people on it. It's devotion to corporations and mascots from his childhood. It's about holding a grudge from the 16-bit console generation where his side was the evil, anticompetitive team sued and fined repeatedly for their bullshit practices... but if you twist it, kick it, and selectively discard facts, the could be seen as heroes, so that's what he does.

A wise man would correct his course. We've all been on a bad trajectory and straightened it out. Bob, the narcissistic tub, won't dare admit wrongdoing. Rather, he's doubled and tripled down it. That shitty attitude does not meaningful content create. It generates a small amount of likes from retards just as narcissistic whose identities are defined by product because they've got nothing else and can't admit they're fuckups.

In short - it's fun to laugh at a grown-ass man jerking himself off every night to Kong vs. Godzilla that has the stones to look down his nose at anybody else on Earth.

Bob and Chris should get together for a playdate. They have so much in common namely being middle aged balding consoomers who will never ever get anything remotely close to real jobs and actually contribute to society.


Also I suddenly feel less ashamed for working at KFC at least I'm doing something to contribute to the workforce.


Oh @Yuuichirou Kumada meant it's cause he's wearing a tarp like homers muumuu. Still you could say it refers to how Bob's an unemployable lardass who will never do an honest days work in his life

From what I have heard, Nintendo has enough money in the bank to survive 50 consecutive years of being in the red, and they only lost profit in two years of their entire existence, which was 2012 and 2013.

I remember hearing something similar, the Gameboy/SNES era probably built them a sizeable warchest even before the outrageous success of the DS, Wii and Switch.

That and IPs like Pokemon must bring in so much money outside of vidya that even if they abandoned the market entirely they'd still be raking it in.

If Chris weren't such a doofus, and not in a good way, all these pics of him would be innocuous and maybe even a little sweet. But fortunately for me he's not so I'm not as big an asshole for making fun of him.

Actually, it's because they never throw good money after bad, a policy they had since way back when they made collectible cards and shit. It's why they dropped the Wii-U so quickly. Unlike Sony and Microsoft they tend to refuse to sell at a loss and have pretty big stockpiles of cash.

N64, for all that it fucked up, at the end of the day was still pretty damn profitable for them.

Oh, fun fact: after the Secret of Mana debacle, Square pretty much preferred to put their handheld game ideas on the Bandai Wonderswan rather than the Game Boy out of spite too. Basically they were extremely angry over the fact that what they saw as a magnum opus of theirs had to be mutilated and reworked so badly.

Pretty much. Nintendo, if nothing else, are a very consistent company who rarely do things to piss off their fans or radically change their games or business models. They're also smart enough to realise that so long as people can only play their popular games on their consoles, then their consoles will sell. Honestly that's probably why it has so many manchild fans, because they've never had any huge "mask off" moment that completely broke the trust of their fans.

And to add to that, there were no internal rivalries between Nintendo's Japanese head office and its overseas branches. Many sources I have read stated that Sega of Japan held great deal of resentment towards the American branch and clutched onto the idiot ball pretty damn hard. They burned up a lot of goodwill from customers with the Sega CD, 32X, and the blotched North American launch of the Saturn. SOJ, in all their hubris, turned away Sony and Silicon Graphics when both companies approached SOA. The former entered the market on its own and the latter went to Nintendo to produce the hardware for the N64.

Smooth move, Sega.

Yeah the Jap vs USA Sega thing started when some top marketer in the American one had to strong arm Sega into releasing Sonic 1 with the Master System. It was essentially this one guy who helped Sega break into the western market. I forget his other ideas but they were all essential for Sega being as popular as they were.
After they fired the guy the whole company went to shit, which was probably around the 32x.
Looking back on the 90's console business practices, I'm surprised any of them managed to stick around for more than a decade.

Spoiler: Government shit

"Our ancestors?" Your ancestors' Founding Fathers wouldn't like democracy in the least. They wanted a republic where only the rich and wealthy landed elite could vote. Those whose fortunes are tied to the land were the only ones allowed to vote in early America. Essentially, they just wanted an Anglo version of Venice. If you told the Founding Fathers that you're letting all men and women vote, they'll laugh in your face and say that maybe the dogs should vote next.

So in other words the government your advocating for?

You can play words games all you like. Let's just settle with: Concentrated power vs Distributed power systems of government. Basic scale where everything shifts towards one end or the other. And it was quite clear to the American founders they wanted a distributed system though not the extreme of a mob rule (aka pure democracy).

Monarchs own the country, so if the country goes to shit, they're to blame. Down to the point where they could die because things went to shit in their reign. The Roman Praetorians would neck you if things went to shit and you're the Emperor, the Byzantines would lynch you if you were the Emperor and things went to hell. In China, things going to hell means that you've lost the Mandate of Heaven, and people will no longer consider you the Emperor, while in a Medieval Monarchy, the nobles gather around and either depose you and elect a new king, or they make you sign something like the Magna Carta which limits your royal power. In a democracy, when things go to shit, people just toss blame at each other. The right blames the left, the left blames the right, all the while, the banks print our money into inflation while politicians and CEOs walk away with golden parachutes as veterans and citizens starve in the streets.

The last time a Republic had something like this, it was Rome at the tail end of the Republic era. And if things keep going like this, you can kiss your republic goodbye. God knows both sides would prefer it if their man stayed in power forever as Emperor. The Right would love it if Trump was Emperor, the Left would love it if Obama was Emperor. Neither side profits from Democracy-every four years, there's an election, and both sides are accused of doing hijinks, whether it be Russian interference or Dominion voting machines, and we see nowadays that neither side can accept the other winning. The Right wins, and the Left screams "Russian Collusion!" The Left wins, and the Right screams "Dominion voting machines!" Neither side is responsible enough for a democracy, and both sides would prefer it if their man stayed in power for life. That doesn't sound like a society that would value democracy, if you ask me.

Oh sure, who ever heard of a monarchy scapegoating targets for why things are going bad...

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Fire_of_Rome

According to Tacitus and later Christian tradition, Emperor Nero blamed the devastation on the Christian community in the city, initiating the empire's first persecution against the Christians.

Even if historians debunk this one instance, there are plenty more. Just look at how many mideast concentrated power govs love to blame Jews and the West.

Yeah, and even if those groups outnumbered fit, able-bodied men by a factor of 5 to 1, you'd still have 1 million people, or 500K soldiers, if the sides were split evenly between the two.

Take the scenario I just presented, and remove half the men because they're growing the food. You could still end up with a quarter million men on both sides.

Here I'll save you time. Estimate 20k military for ECW out of 4mil pop is 0.5% of the population.

CW America: 600k out of 31mil = 1.9% of the population.

For the ottoman empire (a monarchy) had an army around WW1 of 2.87mil. Out of 24 mil population. ~12% of the population.

So whatever point you're trying to make we can play the counter-example all day.

WW2 Japan's monarchy was a puppet of the generals. They had more in common with a military republic like those in Latin America. The two times the Emperor got to speak, the first was when he proposed to make peace with the Americans prior to Pearl Harbor so they could expand in peace, that was shot down by the generals. The second time he spoke was when he wanted the country to surrender to avoid becoming a glass crater, and the generals almost knocked him off to stop that. If they actually listened to the guy, Japan would have never attacked Pearl Harbor.

Oh here we go! The 'ole "That wasn't real communism monarchy" canard.

I'd ask you to post your definitions but I know how it goes: "The ones I like are 'monarchy,' and the ones I don't aren't."

Yeah it's amazing how when you get to play with definitions you can "prove" how ideal your system is. You and millions of college commies have been doing that schtick for years. Fuck off out here with that dishonest bullshit.

Also, "norm of history"? I suppose Ancient China, Japan, the Hebrew monarchs, the Persians, the Egyptians, and all the Christian monarchies that lasted for centuries were also killing kids for their gods on a daily basis, eh?

Daily basis? No. Worship wasn't done on a daily basis either. Try reading what is written instead of making shit up.

Also did you just argue that Egyptian monarchies that lasted for centuries didn't kill kids?

Then Pharaoh gave this order to all his people: “Every Hebrew boy that is born you must throw into the Nile, but let every girl live.” -Exodus 1:22 (NIV)

I've no interest in continuing to pick apart the arguments of one who does not bother engaging in intellectual honest debate. You did good simulating the arguing with moviebob experience. Keep it up and you'll prove as intelligent and insightful as him any day now.

I don't see why the Palestinians shouldn't be entitled to the entire nation.

To put this in perspective, would you be happy or support it if a bunch of Californians moved to Oklahoma because they said it was an empty land despite the existence of Oklahomans, then set up a paramilitary organisation which burnt down Oklahoman villages, then declared that Oklahomans were only entitled to a third of Oklahoma and that the Californians' bit would be an ethnostate, and would you say that Oklahomans were entitled to their land back?

Your metaphor falls apart on a couple of key differences.

1) It wouldn't be Oklahoma. The Ottoman empire was the one in charge of the area until Britain kicked their ass in WW1 and took over. So it would be more like saying Texas gave a bit of its state up.
2) The Jews had no state of their own. So it would be more like a bunch of Amerindians scattered across several states being told they'll finally get to have a nation of their own. (Especially if you believe the Bible and that the Jews have a historical claim to the land.)

Even back in the 1920s the area was set up with Jewish and Arab regions with the Jewish population "exploding" and reaching... *checks wikipedia* 31% of the population.

Looks like things were set to remain like that until a series of wars broke out in 1948 and 1967.

Want to play the games of "guess who started those?"

I'm not saying the Jews are as innocent as they look in history.

But neither are the Palestinians.

If the Jews only made up 31% of the population, why did they end up with far much more than 31% of Mandatory Palestine in the partition plan?

Want to play the games of "guess who started those?"

Yes, let's. Let's talk about how Israel attacked the Egyptian airforce and invaded Sinai and Gaza in 1967, and how one of the main causes of the 1948 war was the Haganah and Irgun launching attacks on British soldiers, attacking Arab villages (Balad al-Sheykh comes to mind) and bombing markets and bus stops.

This is always what I've hated most about the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Ultimate microcosm of people dragging out their own socio-historical traumas. Any conversation inevitably devolves into arguing about the score which, while understandable, has never provided one lick of progress.

The way the British Mandate progressed to the State of Israel was fucked. You were living your Holy Land best life in a rough, more-or-less peace, and a year later your neighbors have national sovereignty. Fucked. There's the core of a legitimate claim here.

On the same coin, that doesn't change the reasons why they established a Jewish state, or justify demolishing that state almost a century after the fact. Oops, we messed up, disband your country? Nah. There's the core of a legitimate claim here.

The Palestinian citizens have to worry about when the IDF might drop a 2000 JDAM through their roof or drive a Namer through their front door. Nobody should live like that and I understand why people hate it.

The Israeli citizens have to worry about when someone is going to drive a dump truck through the front of a kindergarden, or nailbomb the buses. Again, nobody should live like this and it's the sort of thing that will inevitably create lifelong grudges no matter why it's happening.

The one state solution is fucked, nobody will ever go for a single state that isn't objectively terrible for one end of the deal or the other, be it on national or religious concerns.

The two state solution is equally fucked. Between geography, the religious sites, and competitive hilltop tribalism, they'll never be able to divide the land in a fair and stable way. The countryside has room for both peoples but the demand to live around the holy sites and never let an Arab live on a hilltop that Jews lived on, or vise versa, keeps the conflict going.

My dream scenario made of rainbows and unicorn wool is a three state scenario where a secular international cultural protectorate manages the holy sites and administers equal fair access while the regular people fuck off into the Negev, the Golan, all the open spaces that get passed over for the blood soaked holy ground.

This is obviously a pie in the sky, send me my rainbows. But it is obvious to me that no progress will ever be made until we can approach the issue without immediately defaulting to counting murdered grandpas.
