There have been tons of rumours about a Switch 2, but nothing actually substantial. It's right up there with the Switch Pro rumours a few years ago. The media types want a new switch because that is a difficult time for a company and fun time for a website.
I don't think Msoft and Sony are even in the market anymore. They just pretend to be so they get funding for other stuff.
Even the story writer has moved on. It's that girl you had an awesome time with and never saw again.
I like to call him the Queen after all the rumours about him.
You're welcome.
My guess is the left are trying for hail Mary passes, bluster, and saying he a dead duck president.
It's true. He knew when his last video would play and planned for that. I don't know if MatPat actually knew when until it kicked in.
I usually do it once I have 200-300 links. I have several hundred links over that right now. I didn't have time to create a list during my work on my Thesis. So I am playing catch up.
I also try to keep it organized so if you have an interest, you can go to that section.
Edit
Listened to the section on mass shootings in the Carlin AI. To be honest, it wasn't edgy enough to be him.
It is a huge thing for police. Off duty cops are hired at all sorts of things, and only become on duty if they aren't someone. They don't want to do this because the pay is worse as an officer.

Phantasy Star Online? Yes Another stand alone game? Not really
YouTube is way too big for what it does. So many big names are calling it quits right now. The ads have gone from five seconds to unstoppable minute long videos. I'm guessing the DEI money isn't working out, and they're too famous to do money laundering anymore.
Goz!lla was awesome.
They are openly mocked. If you don't lock them, you will not be published. It's one of the reasons why the Many Peoples theory for the Americas is not talked about publicly. The idea that several groups found the Americas opens the idea of one being Israelite.
Anthropology has had problems for a long time. Our job is to explain cultures to other cultures. It was originally for Europeans about any culture considered outsider. The first native anthropologists I know about were the brothers Grimm. We only talk about the fairy tales, not why they were collecting them. Many papers and academic journals demand the people being studied be viewed as weird foreigners. Doing comparisons is often difficult because one group is foreign and the other is normal.
What we see now is academics trying to make the weirdness as the actual culture, and that it needs to be accepted. Two spirits, fafafine, ritualistic cannibalism and others are real, but not in the way explained. It's really obvious that they're politicizing it when you see that the standard two year study is being ignored for graduate level programs. If you say what the committee wants to hear, they ignore all the checks we put in to make sure the truth is found.
It's annoying.
You should look up the Gundam Pod Game. Or the MechWarrior pod game for that matter.
There was an extensive trade group in Northern Africa. We only know it existed. There are travel paths from Egypt to Morocco and Nigeria. Plenty of towns could be used as small ports. The ber ber and other Sudanese had references to it.
However, the trade group died during the 14th century crunch. This is when several cultures stop trading and close down. This one was so powerful every culture in the world seemed to do it or be effected by it. That's right when European groups began to expand, looking for new trade routes. This changed several trade groups, so it's hard to figure out the previous one.
The ottoman empire likely knew about it, but I don't know if they had anything written. The concepts like the trade group and crunch are very new, and being talked over by SJW majors.
It's amazing how many games are actually obscure. Sega non main games generally sold in the hundreds of thousands only. So I love Phantasy Star, but it's forgotten.
Gunslinger Stratos for the arcade has a strong fan base in Seattle, and no where else. That game is awesome. It's a character death match game with controllers that change how you're attacking based on how they're being held. The same people made a magic school deathmatch game where you moved your hand to send out spells. ByKing and Squaresoft made some killer games.
Card and character based battle RPGs for arcades. Awesome stuff, sold terribly in the US.
Arcade Racing games that need a save card to fully enjoy. Midnight Club is the more famous one.
Virtual On for the arcade. Strong fan base, but nothing outside of it. They still sell the controllers for modern consoles.
Konami Wai Wai World. Konami man must save the various characters in the Konami universe.
The guy who wrote for Leisure Suit Larry also made a children's game about walking around a farm. You can play it on the Internet library.
The chess with fantasy characters game. It's like a chess board, but you set your pieces down based on what you want. It's an incredibly complex game with tons of strategy against an opponent. I had a roommate who loved that game.
It was a fun game. I only played a part of it because it belonged to my roommates.
I was playing the Super Mario RPG remake and thought about how much I want another Goemon game.
It got a remake and is sold on GoG
The term is Lost Tribes of Israel. There has been tons of scholarly work on the subject. Basically, the Jews aren't the only tribes of Israel in the Bible. When Israel the country split, most of the tribes were led by Ephraim in the north, and then disappeared after the invasion of Babylon. The only real reference in the Bible is that they were pushed to the north or destroyed.
Middle Eastern cultures hold the Bible as a history as well as a religious text, so they trace their families back to the book. I've met people who can open the Bible and point out an ancestor in it. Usually it's a town that's been rebuilt several times over, but the locals say it's in the Bible.
Europeans wanted to be like this, so many referenced the lost tribes as possible ancestors. There were cultures pushed to the north, but hardly any knowledge on who. Tons of people have written, went on digs, and proclaimed to be descended from a lost tribe.
Mormons believe the main people in the Book of Mormon are a lost tribe, and that the English and western European people are from the tribe of Ephraim. They have a special blessing that tells you what tribe you are from.
Any works since about the 1930's has said that the Lost Tribes is a myth, and anyone who believes it should be openly mocked. People have tried to find connections, or written books about the subject, but they aren't accepted as scholarly works. It's actually hard to find them if you go looking.
Does that help?
And there you go.
Remember, if you demand massacres, you declare you want to be attacked.
Make them female.
Have scientist and engineering relatives. Then military and doctors as well.
DS9 is the best, but it needs an intro to the world. Watch some TNG and TOS to figure the shows out, then watch some sweet sweet Sisko.
I need to read Italian more often, I could barely understand that.
