    Meh, I think it’s pretty straight forward. It’s just a description of the scenario.

    Mario games are first party content, because they’re made by the same company that makes the console. This says nothing positive or negative about the game, just who developed it.

    I’ve used printers that don’t have cartridges, instead they just have ink wells you can fill with any ink. You do have more freedom with ink choices, but they’re a different kind of hassle. It’s not simply a better solution.

    (Speaking of solutions, sometimes the ink you buy is more of a suspension than a solution, and it’ll clump up and dry in the feed hoses, a real pain in the ass.)

      Can you elaborate on this? I thought they would be straight up better to work with and I was thinking of buying one in the future. Is it just about the drying up issue you mentioned or are there other drawbacks?

        I mean yeah, most systems with a reservoir are going to use some kind of feed tubes to get the ink to the print head, and tubes just clog; basically, they only have 2 states of existence and one of them is “clogged”. If you do very regular printing, like a full color page at least twice a week, then they aren’t going to clog, but very few people actually print that consistently.

        Truth be told, I’m just done with inkjet printing all together. At this point I can’t recommend anything but a laser printer, you tend to pay more up front, but then it actually works and it keeps working for a decade or more.
