Coelacanth, do gaming w The Switch 2's super sluggish LCD screen is 10 times slower than a typical gaming monitor and 100 times slower than an OLED panel according to independent testing
@Coelacanth@feddit.nu avatar

Our first data point is Monitors Unboxed. They found the Switch 2 returned an average pixel response time of 33 ms at 60 Hz.

Jesus Christ Nintendo. That’s absolutely horrendous. But on the plus side I’m glad the screen undervolting let you improve the battery life to an impressive *checks notes* two hours!?

drspod,

So the display can’t actually drive the pixels fast enough to exceed 30fps? Is that what that means?

@hoshikarakitaridia@lemmy.world avatar

I assume this means that at 60fps every frame will be delivered about 2 frames too late everytime.

nondescripthandle,

Yikes. I feel bad for anyone playing street fighter 6 on the switch.

MonkderVierte,

No, that about 80 fps is the maximum this display allows. And that you get a lot of smearing.

Dudewitbow,

all for the power of selling the device at profit and not at a loss.

when currently last gen pc handheld like the lenovo legion go is being sold at 500$ and has both a higher fresh rate resolution and 20ms pixel response time conpared to the switch 2s 33ms.

Its OK to blaim PirateSoftware for killing the movement with his blatant and explicit lies.

the_q,

What’d he do it say? I’m ootl.

osaerisxero,
@osaerisxero@kbin.melroy.org avatar

tl;dr he sandbagged the movement when it was beginning to build momentum with a bunch of, what would charitably be called, misunderstandings of the whole point.

It's covered pretty thoroughly here: https://youtu.be/HIfRLujXtUo?t=1117

Given he contradicts himself multiple times in an effort to make the movement look incompetent, I would say it was more than just a misunderstanding.

Ah, another post where I get to rant about Piratesoftware. Fuck that self righteous, egotistical, fear mongering, ignorant, big headed, grifting, skript kiddy, cornball. Dude couldn’t be assed even to read the Q&A, then makes up stuff about the initiative out of thin air. Dude is such a little weezel, I can’t BELIEVE he still has a following after his hate campaign against the initiative. The fact that anyone outside of his immediate family cares about what he has to say boggles my mind.

TLDR: Thor, not my cup of tea personally.

NuXCOM_90Percent,

Louis Rossman is, at best, a “free speech absolutionist” libertarian, but he is probably the youtuber with the most experience actually working to get consumer (well, small business) rights legislature passed. And he specifically talked about this www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF4zH8bJDI8

In a nutshell: It doesn’t matter if thor is a dipshit (he is and always has been). Attack the arguments, not the person. Because others will have similar complaints and all “He is a fucking prick and he didn’t read the FAQ” does is hurt your argument and make things seem culty.

Because if it really WAS actually addressed (and understand that a response is not necessarily a refutation), point that out. Rather than require people to go dig through a bunch of youtube videos and blog posts.

inb4_FoundTheVegan,
@inb4_FoundTheVegan@lemmy.world avatar

Attack the arguments, not the person.

I mean… Piratesoftware certainly went after the person.

dustyData,

The relevant actors in this discussion already tried to address the arguments. Ross made a response video because Thor refused to talk to him like a petulant child.

Thor simply doesn’t care, his first comment to the initiative was literally “eat my whole ass”[sic]. The whole conversation is way past rational discourse. Thor decided to actively oppose the initiative under the main argument of “this is fucking stupid”(direct quote). There simply isn’t any rational argument to address. It’s all a personal attack and misinformation from a narcissist with an audience. He knows that this initiative kills his grift business. That’s all there is to know about the content of his rationality.

radiouser,

They certainly didn’t conduct themselves in a polite or persuasive manner during their argument(s). As others have said in this thread: he has attacked everything but the topic and when they did they (purposefully) seemed very confused about the overall goal and desire of the campaign.

Is this a case of being wrong about your initial conclusions and doubling down? Or is this a bad actor spreading purposeful misinformation? Going by the video alone it’s hard to see an alternative.

ArchmageAzor,
@ArchmageAzor@lemmy.world avatar

He’s a dev himself. He won’t be able to abandon his next game after it flops if this goes through. That’s why he’s spreading disinformation. I can only hope MoistCritikal’s video on it helps.

Also, SKG should seek legal action for defamation.

Madagaskar_sky,

See, this again. They can abandon their game, it’s just that they have to patch out call home to function functionality. Patch out account verification and other bullshit. The game won’t work like before? That’s OK, it’s about reasonable playability. MMO with no players? That’s OK. No match making? That’s OK. However it was playing before abandonment, just let that run on the computer.

Maybe the final law will ask for a local server client, but the petition is only asking for reasonable playability. Reasonable.

dustyData,

He is referring to the fact that the only game pirate software has made was abandoned 7 years ago in early access and the dude just keeps patching it without significant content to avoid steam flagging and keep charging money for an unfinished demo. It’s an unimaginative ripoff to boot.

Madagaskar_sky,

OK, I didn’t know about that.

Signed it ages ago when it first came about, and it’s really sad to see it still hasn’t gotten enough signatures.

Tyoda,

You may consider signing the UK effort, but that isn’t looking chipper either.

skisnow,

done, for whatever it’s worth

Dariusmiles2123,

Same for me, no Switzerland option.

So I can only encourage EU citizens to do it.

RedIce25,

Same, no Norway

practisevoodoo,

Sign the UK parliament one

RightHandOfIkaros,

Me, a US citizen, not seeing a US option. Also me, realizing that means I cannot sign for the other countries because I am not a citizen of EU or UK.

Fucking piratesoftware…

I mean that guy was a dickcheese even before he tried to torpedo this initiative. But wow did he add to his pile of stink.

maam,

He abandoned his hardcore group to die in DireMaul. I have no respect for Thor.

Default_Defect,
@Default_Defect@midwest.social avatar

I see more people talking about this in the Stop Killing Games discourse than SKG itself, maybe that’s why its failing.

pugnaciousfarter,

A Lil bit of column A and a little bit of column B.

But spreading misinformation on it definitely did hurt it.

atro_city,

Even sadder is that there are no popular EU streamers throwing their weight behind the initiative. What are they waiting for? Does PewDiePie still stream games?

IronKrill,
@IronKrill@lemmy.ca avatar

PewDiePie moved to Japan and while I have no idea what he’s uploaded (or not uploaded) I get the sense he’s basically retired. He’s doing surfing, rock climbing, art, I don’t know that he cares enough anymore to support it.

TemplaerDude,

I don’t understand this fucking clown, why is he holding water for these big corporations?

SuperSaiyanSwag,

It makes me sad that people like him get get enough views and money to live off of

amazonrme, do games w One gamer got so tired of waiting for Valve, he made his own 'Steam Controller 2' out of Steam Deck parts, and it even splits in half like Switch Joy-Cons

I have a steam controller that is brand new in the box. Valve liquidated them like 10 years ago. I bought a bunch of themfor only five dollars apiece. I have absolutely no use for them and they are taking up space. If anybody is interested, they can contactme and I will send it to them. I would rather see somebody enjoy it.

Maalus,

You should give it a try, it is some of the weirdest and coolest tech in controllers. It’s the only one I use for gaming, dropped every other for it. The gyro aiming thing is such a weird yet natural concept it’s just funny nobody thought of it before them. Lots of settings to go through before it works well for a specific game. I set it up for CSGO and was able to play at like 80% of my usual skill (LEM at the time), with spray control being amazing on it compared to mouse. Honestly, if I had it when I was learning to play FPS when I was young, I’d probably be better on it than kb+m

Bogusmcfakester,

I would love one but I’m in the UK unfortunately

I saw there’s a VR mode and couldn’t throw $15 at this fast enough. This looks phenomenal! So cool.

Thanks for posting this. Had no idea it existed.

You can play Duck Hunt with a VR Zapper. Worth $15 there alone. I’m a simple man.

turmacar,

Duck Season is pretty fun too FWIW.

Underwaterbob, do games w The emulator that lets you play NES games in 3D has left early access on Steam

Zelda 1 seems an odd omission from the supported games. I wonder if some games are harder to implement than others or something.

CallateCoyote, (edited )
@CallateCoyote@lemmy.world avatar

Zelda is there! Remember it’s under “Legend of Zelda.” It looks friggin’ rad in VR 3D. I’m definitely playing through this whole game like this.

The weird one for me is that Super Mario Bros 2 is missing.

Underwaterbob,

I thought I saw in very recent patch notes that there was a community-made version of SM2?

CallateCoyote,
@CallateCoyote@lemmy.world avatar

Ah, I haven’t even started investigating community made content yet. Neat!

It also works with romhacks if the code isn’t changed too much. Ducktales 2 co-op works like a charm!

@lazycouchpotato@lemmy.world avatar

Bought it a few years ago. Super cool, though I probably only messed around with it a couple hours before forgetting about it.

duchess, do games w The emulator that lets you play NES games in 3D has left early access on Steam

They want money for an emulator? that’s bold

pressedhams,

Maybe, but it’s not just emulating the rom, I thinks there’s enough value add for their $9 asking price.

Jrockwar,

Still, being able to argue they’re not for profit is what typically has protected emulators from being sued to oblivion (and with Nintendo, even that’s risky)…

pressedhams,

Yeah, the archival argument won’t fly here.

gaylord_fartmaster,

Has being non-profit been a legal defense used somewhere before? At least in the US the case law is based on commercial, profit-driven emulators being explicitly ruled as legal when Sony tried suing them. I see this said constantly and I think it’s genuinely just the result of propaganda from Nintendo or something.

pneumaticFax,

Bleem!
