It’s a shame to see someone taking the side of big business over a small independent. Google has an effective monopoly on search, they take the content of sites and present it as their own, they also rarely do a good job of fighting SEO to show you things you actually want to see, this is likely a result of SEO winning rather than these guys.

You’re celebrating the big guy and telling the little guy to just live with it. Whoes going to make content when they are all gone.

People who have large collections of physical games, especially things like tg16, often have money to spend on this kind of thing.

It let’s them play their original games and gives a nice enough interface around it

Sounds like NoA is getting ahead of unionization efforts to outsource QA. It’s a lose lose situation!

If anyone’s interested in the show, there’s three made-for-tv movies and a series.

The first two tv-movies are so bad it’s good entertaining. Everything else is awful. Shatner is barely in the show, but when he is, it’s much better.

Civvie11 on YouTube did a good video about the game as well

yes, if you want a controller that will never exhibit drift you have to find one that specifically markets itself as using hall-effect joystick assemblies. all other controllers will (eventually) exhibit stick drift.

Nope. I really can’t get behind this thinking at all. “Generic” is not a term I would ever use for vanillaware titles. They put so much detail and thought into every brush stroke. It’s unreal.

The native apps are functionally webapps, they are not “native”. You should be able to tell that if you “work in mobile”.

A native ui wouldn’t have much or any impact on time to show your dashboard. But it would add an astronomical overhead to the development costs

I do believe the days of PlayStation and Xbox are probably numbered. Though atleast one or two more generations are still likey.

I’ve been reading this statement for the past 20 years.

are you sure that the pro 2 has a 4-way connection?

i read it as just a simple way of changing what mode the controller runs in, normally you have to select those different modes by holding down button combinations when enabling pairing mode. to me it looks like they just made those button combinations a switch. so it’s a switch, and only pairs to a single device.

i might be wrong, i don’t have one

this is a fairly broad question, so I’ll ignore it and just use it as an excuse to bring up my three favourite ports of the past few years - which just happen to be M2 ported sega games

• Outrun: 60fps outrun on a nice display. Doesn’t have the cd arrangements of the saturn version but outrun doesn’t really need that, and man it’s just fun to play
• Virtua Racing: oooh geez, virtua racing has never looked this good before. silky smooth 60fps port running at HD. the game is still the same it ever was, nothing added. but it’s really a joy to play now
• Phantasy Star 1: it’s a shame the other games didn’t get the treatment the first one did, but the quality of life improvements make this the default choice for playing Phantasy Star now. dungeon mapping so you can figure out where you are without a guide and easy access to manual stuff, great time.

Nothing glow-in-the-dark is anything that could be described as “bright.” What you probably want is something that is florescent under a blacklight. Someone probably makes something specifically for that, but otherwise, a lot of dyes are naturally florescent

The answer that the status service websites will tell you: we automatically detect outages by performing http requests and checking responses for errors

the actual answer: some overworked developer gets woken up at 3am via pagerduty and manually set the status website to an outage state

I feel like this is a very modern problem with the community. I’ve been in open source for a long time, I’ve been employed by some of these companies to write open source things.

Most open source stuff was created by someone who was employed to write that open source thing. There are exceptions, of course, but most things came about because of a need, and that need is often related to work. Companies used to be a lot better with allowing open sourcing of components.

Then, there are all the community contributions that come from commercial reasons. If someone working at a company fixes a bug they encounter, that’s someone being paid to write open source software.

I do not understand the reaction people are having to this now. The open source ecosystem was built on this.

Fxpak (sd2snes before it’s name changed) is far and away the best super Nintendo flash cart, and its all open source. emulates the most helper chips and does the fancy msu thing too

I would far from call the new zeldas masterpieces, but I think my main worry is that he seems like he might be incapable of breaking the formula.

I’m fully expecting the next game to be breath of the wild 3, with a new gimmick but basically the same. And for a series as varied as the zelda series that is fairly sad.

I’m not saying your experience is invalid, but the 3DS was well known for being uncomfortable to use

the thought of even smaller switch controls makes me hands cramp just thinking about it.

You can get slightly smaller - but same size controls - by making the joycons be permanently attached, but not a lot. if you shrink the display the controls gotta come in with it

Don’t have a massive amount of confidence in nintendo hardware design for controllers these days unfortunately

My assumption was that he got paid more for the midi crap. He’s a war crime denying piece of shit anyway, and dead now, so that’s good. Rip bozo.

Yeah, I mean, I mostly just play with rom carts.

But also, that’s like buying a ps5 and then never buying a game for it. A lot of money is just sitting on your desk.
