Didn’t they want to do this 2 decades ago also? The offer was laughed at.

Looks like the lads took it personally.

Sunroc,

They misspelled Dwayne Johnson. Hah

If Nintendo diversified its titles onto other platforms then they wouldn’t be in a position for an offer to come from Microsoft.

Can you imagine how popular key Nintendo titles would be on PC or under a game pass deal.

This was in 2020 they were thinking this, and it doesn’t seem like Nintendo was interested at all.

Microsoft offered to buy them back in 2000 or something, and got laughed at. Nintendo is not looking to be bought out. Nintendo does things its way and stays in its lane.

AnonTwo,

I honestly don't have the faintest belief that Nintendo would ever take the deal. Sure they don't diversify their platforms, but they also have the best cut from their platform.

None of that matters. They won’t ever sell because of pride. Their culture goes against it on every level. It won’t happen.

The site is unusable on mobile because of the aggressive ads

Sorry, I have an ad blocker on my phone so I genuinely have no idea if there are ads on a site or how bad they are anymore on mobile. Try flipping to reader view to see it without ads?

Blizzard,

That’s on you for not using an adblocker.

lowleveldata,

Oh really? It’s not on the site for placing aggressive ads?

Blizzard,

As far as I’m concerned, all ads are aggressive. I don’t want to see any ads, period. Using an adblocker is a norm. It’s not only a matter of civilized online experience but also privacy and security (latest example). Of course you are not required to use one, but don’t go online complaining you see ads.

lowleveldata,

I’m not following. How am I supposed to let everyone knows that this site is shit without complaining?

Blizzard,

Everyone else should use adblockers too.

If you don’t have an ad blocker installed though, seriously, I can’t recommend getting one enough. It’s legit like night and day how different it is. There are occasional inconveniences, but it is overall so, so much better for browsing QoL.

Not very interesting news in my opinion. Lots of companies/CEOs want to acquire other companies.

Shatter this corporation.

Holy monopoly if that happened. Also imagine the damage to Japanese culture if one of their treasured companies was owned by a company in another country.

The gaming world’s response to MS buying Nintendo would make the whole Unity debacle look like a mild inconvenience in comparison… and that’s what I predict for the US, not to mention how Japan would respond to this.

Archive link if you don’t wanna deal with ads and whatnot:
web.archive.org/…/microsoft-nintendo-acquisition-…

Also, Firefox supports ublock Origin on Android (no clue about iThings, but probably everything is reskinned safari in apple land).
Pi-hole is also an option and while it isn’t perfect, it can block many ads at the network/dns level for devices that can’t support adblockers.

The email describes a hostile takeover: buy enough stock to own the board then pressure the company to sell.

Microsoft will buy my teapottery if anti-trust regulations don’t keep them in check. And, in today’s climate, I don’t believe for a moment that anybody will make a reasonable attempt to do so.

For all we know “space” is the same map for each planet and only a few assets get swapped depending on orbit. Maybe this was a cheeky way to make their ancient engine run all these new features without crashing.

geosoco,

Would not be surprised if this were true.

My best guess is that it's a debris effect from your ship taking damage, and it's supposed to fly away and expire, but somehow got stuck instead of disappearing, so now it's an "effect" on your character that doesn't know its supposed to have timed out already.

Other Bethesda games, especially Skyrim, had bugs like this of status effects that would get stuck on your character longer than they were supposed to and you'd only realize hours later when your character has some weird blue fog following them

Sanctus,
@Sanctus@lemmy.world avatar

That has precedent and is a very interesting conjecture. I vote this explanation.

I’m having memories of Bethesda getting trains to work in Fallout 3 by making an NPC wear a train as a hat and then run really fast.

Its all smoke and mirrors, my friend. The cake is a lie.

I guess I’m gonna have to actually check. I always play entirely in 1st person so I wouldn’t have noticed unless it was always in my windshield or something.

I have had one since hour 12, I’ve changed ships multiple times, been all over, still following. It’s basically a space buddy now, I’m on hour 96
