I made the mistake of playing too much in early access and it was a lot of fun but I am worried it ruined the experience. Looking forward to trying a fresh playthrough!
And I make a point of avoiding early access (though I have been known to drift too far in the other direction and I play a lot of PICO-8 prototypes), so I’m looking forward to seeing this one with fresh eyes!
SMG2 is probably the best 3D Mario game, but since I already own them I’ll just keep what I have.
Dolphin can play them both just fine. If it’s anything like the last pack, it’ll be the laziest possible emulation anyway. This shit should have been in the NSO subscription if they’re not actually going to remake it.
they didn’t include galaxy 2 in 3d all stars to make the suckers double dip 5 years later lol
anyways, if anyone here has decompilation knowledge and wants to help, the original mario galaxy has a decomp project and they have 21% of the code decompiled!
I thought it played nicely. It’s not a very difficult game anyway. Although there are some mechanics not possible with the switch controllers. Like the analog triggers with the click in the bottom that the GameCube controller had. That was so useful in so many games. Not sure why they got rid of that ever since.
What threw me about the remake too is that a lot of the FLUDD mechanics are more annoying when you can’t partially press the trigger. It felt like it made more sense when you could “regulate” the flow with how strongly you pushed, but triggers on Switch controllers are only off/on.
My conclusion is that the US is getting what it wants out of the importation block regardless of smuggling or “fell of the assembly line”.
Universities (China and the US) want a warranty on that hardware. They can’t get a warranty on smuggled hardware. That’s where you would have researchers building models. The GPUs they have are getting old and they don’t have replacements lined up.
The other place to build models is corporations, who might choose to ignore the warranty issue, but they can’t possibly get enough high end GPUs to actually do that. Not while using mules who can only bring in one or two at a time. Maybe they can find a way to smuggle things en masse, but they’d likely just make themselves a target to US trade authorities.
That leaves Chinese gamers as the only ones who want smuggled GPUs at all. US trade policy doesn’t give a shit about them.
So yes, there’s smuggling, Nvidia certainly knows about it, US trade authorities certainly know about it, but nobody has any reason to care.
I don't understand why people have issues with shows like this, it's not like ads on annoying news websites, people want to watch them, I'm not watching but I think it's quite exciting waiting for a trailer you want to see (silksong for example) compared to seeing it in a news article afterwards.
Really fun watch. I probably am more aware of this than most so most of the contextual information was “common sense” or “open secrets”, but never really saw anyone put it that clearly or blatantly before. And the technical segments (building a frankenboard) were awesome.
Although one thing me and a few buddies keep wondering but are too afraid to ask legal about: Did Steve actually film himself committing a crime when he bought the card? Like, he as a US citizen is a party that can buy one of those and as long as he didn’t give it to anyone else, it is no different than buying and shipping a card from a less than reputable source. But it also raises every single export control flag in my head.
