notfromhere, w Microsoft Nintendo acquisition hopes revealed by leaked Xbox exec email

"I’ve had numerous conversations with the LT of Nintendo about tighter collaboration and feel like if any US company would have a chance with Nintendo we are probably in the best position. The unfortunate (or fortunate for Nintendo) situation is that Nintendo is sitting on a big pile of cash, they have a [board of directors] that until recently has not pushed for further increases in market growth or stock appreciation.

“I say “until recently” as our former MS BoD member ValueAct has been heavily acquiring shares of Nintendo and I’ve kept in touch with [ValueAct CEO] Mason Morfit as he’s been acquiring. It’s likely he will be pushing for more from Nintendo stock which could create opportunities for us.

Let the enshittification begin

oxideseven,

Publicly traded companies was just the worst damn idea ever… growth for growth’s sake is ruining everything.

Honestly to me the real shame is everyone’s retirement is tied up in Wallstreet, but no one is personally voting, that’s all done by investment managers. Even in the cases where people get their proxy votes, they mostly throw them away.

Retail investment is a quarter of the market, but only 32% of retail shares had their votes cast (vs 80% for the market as a whole), and on average only 12% of a firms retail accounts vote at all.

If I own shares through a vanguard index, can I vote in each of those companies?

If so, how?

Someone could make a tool to make it quick and easy

Starfield is a single player game. Where are no other players.

Seething? You literally couldn't handle pronouns in a game, nor the mod being taken off of nexusmods. Nor could you ignore that guy's comment.

That's literally 0 for 3, you little snowflake bitch baby.

You literally could not handle a mod that removes incorrect biology and English grammar from a game. Cry more. Your ideology is objectively false and we will never bend the knee to it.

Where, by "bend the knee" you mean "never have to interact with it in any way," but nah, you go off, fam. Row row fight the powah!

I'll interact with the mentally ill if I have to, but I won't participate in their mental illness as part of the interaction. This is irrelevant in the context of this game, because it's single player.

    Haptic feedback has everyone. How does it differ in any form from other controllers.
    Pretty sure only the Switch and PS5 Controllers have something unique to vibration motors

    sugar_in_your_tea,

    I’m pretty sure they’re talking about the gyro, which Sony and Nintendo have had since the previous generation.

    Appoxo,
    @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    Gyro is imo a bit of a gimmick.
    Same as the adaptive triggers from the PS5 and the HD rumble from the switch and the Kinect from the Xbox 360/One.

    They are all pretty cool but how many devs will actually implement it?
    HD rumble: Sure, there are party games but those are 1st party (usually) and what purpose do they offer besides the few haptic feedbacks?
    Adaptive trigger: I see two options. Racing or Archery. Maybe the odd platformer.
    Kinect: Basically a Wiimote and a WiiFit - the scale. It had a few neat titles but basically useless unless you like the swish around in the dashboard.

    So what purpose does the gyro serves outside of more expensive hardware the majority of devs will not utilize. Am I really missing out on something?

    SatyrSack,

    Gyro aiming makes a huge difference, and as long as the OS or whatever supports it, game developers have to do nothing extra to support it.

    Appoxo,
    @Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com avatar

    I have a SteamDeck…Maybe I should try it at least.
    But I honestly can’t see myself using it with something like Halo Infinite or Doom Eternal.

    But true: If the OS does itbas a full implementation, no extra work.

    SatyrSack,

    Those are exactly the types of games that most benefit from gyro controls. You still use the right joystick to look around like normal, but then you also have gyro to make fine adjustments on top of that.

    PM_ME_FEET_PICS,

    Wrong.

    Maybe it’s some sort of mental gymnastics that “If you can’t get some dick, you must become a dick”.

    firebreathingbunny,

    Playing a single-player game the way I want is being a dick how exactly.

    mephiska,

    You’re so triggered by pronouns that you actively seek out a mod to remove them. You can fuck right off you bigot.

    firebreathingbunny, (edited )

    I'm simply removing objectively incorrect content. There is no such thing as personal pronouns, and with a simple mod, they are easily removed like any bug in any program. Problem?

    OmegaMouse,
    @OmegaMouse@feddit.uk avatar

    I don’t get how this lets you play a game the way you want? It takes out an option in a drop down that you wouldn’t use in the first place? It’s like me removing the colour blind option in a game, when I’m not colour blind. Just don’t use it if you don’t need it.

    firebreathingbunny,

    The option itself doesn't exist in reality. Biology and English grammar are crystal clear on this. The presence of the option in the game is itself wrong. The mod corrects this mistake.

    Mirodir,

    Not that I agree with your point in the first place, but I hope you’re also modding out FTL travel then.

    firebreathingbunny, (edited )

    That's theoretically possible through wormholes. We just don't know the exact mechanism yet.

    Unaware7013,

    says wormholes are theoretically possible but we don't know how they work

    incorrectly claims biology and English don't allow personal gender pronouns opposite from sex despite ample evidence to the contrary.

    firebreathingbunny, (edited )

    Feel free to study any actually published biology or English textbook. You won't find this nonsense anywhere in them. You're just ignorant. You need to go back to school.

    Unaware7013,

    Lol, you don't even know what personal pronouns are, why would I listen to you about anything?

    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Personal_pronoun

    You're just ignorant. You need to go back to school.

    Keep looking into that mirror.

    firebreathingbunny,

    Listen to settled science and consensus English grammar, as published in textbooks. You're wrong per both standards.

    Unaware7013,

    I do, and you should too. Because you're entirely wrong about everything. Like, you're arguing that personal pronouns don't exist while using them and calling others stupid.

    As much fun as it is arguing with the confidently ignorant, I have better things to do today. Like maybe watch paint dry. It would definitely be a better use of my time than reading objectively incorrect and bigoted REEEEEEEEing about biological and grammatical concepts that you don't have the slightest understanding of.

    Ferk,
    @Ferk@kbin.social avatar

    But that's not what you are doing. You don't need this mod to make the choice that allows you to play the way you want.

    I mean, I have no problem with modding anything anyway (in fact I believe it was wrong for Nexus to remove the mod, the only thing it did is making certain kind of obstinate people go into a silly crusade to defend a silly mod). But this mod is objectively removing options, not adding them.

    firebreathingbunny,

    There is no such thing as a choice of personal pronouns. The concept doesn't exist in biology and English grammar. The so-called feature is a bug.

    Ferk, (edited )
    @Ferk@kbin.social avatar

    This has nothing to do with biology, it's 100% English grammar. Biology books are not the ones explaining what's a "pronoun". In fact, many languages don't even have pronouns, and yet their biology books can perfectly be translated.

    English grammar is constantly evolving. In fact, it would make it a lot more realistic if there were more strange expressions and mannerisms, even outside of pronouns. Battlestar Galactica did add some funny nonsensical expressions like "frak", "rook", "frimp", "pogees" and popular phrases like "so say we all" that added a layer of depth to their futuristic culture, making it a lot more believable.

    I don't think this mod really helps with "realism". It would in fact be unrealistic to expect no linguistic changes at all in 300 years. The only reason why I think some people are mad is because they think it's pandering to a political agenda so they don't even want to see an option be given at all.... despite it actually being a totally optional and even totally believable aspect of a future hypothetical culture. Whether you agree with the direction that this hypothetical futuristic culture developed towards or not.

    firebreathingbunny, (edited )

    It has to do with both. In consensus English grammar, your pronoun is assigned to your per your sex. Billions speak English this way and they will not change because a handful of sexual degenerates tell them to. This is not up for debate.

    What a bunch of whiney cunts.

    Imagine bitching because your 10 year old phone GPU can’t push polygons.

    You are lucky they made it work as well as they did on switch and don’t charge you EXTRA for the absurd amount of optimization that it must have took to get it even workable.

    BruceTwarzen,

    It seems easier to just not release these games on switch and focus on the stuff it can run

    stopthatgirl7,
    !deleted7120 avatar

    Or maybe just wait for the Switch 2, since that’s actually looking like it’s real? This could’ve been a good 3rd party launch title for it.

    ShittyRedditWasBetter,

    Yeah dude lets just push back that game for a year or two while we wait for the next gen. I’m sure that’s just free and not costly at all.

    Maximilious,
    @Maximilious@kbin.social avatar

    Ah yes, I'm sure Sony lost oodles of money sitting on Spider-man and FF7R for years before they were ported to PC, or the other console "exclusives" that have a 3-12 month waiting period.

    ShittyRedditWasBetter,

    Yes.

    Chozo,

    I mean, it probably would have been better than this. Not every game needs to release on all platforms. NeverRealm made a stupid decision trying to release on Switch at the same time as other consoles, especially when the Switch already has a foot in the grave as it is.

    If they'd have waited for the new hardware, sure some fans might've been a little upset, but it's not like there's a whole lot of crossover between MK fans and players who only own a Switch in the first place. Half of the MK games never got released on a Nintendo platform at all, and several that did didn't release simultaneously with other platforms, and were also heavily modified ports.

    They could've waited a year or two, and not left such a bad taste in players' mouths. I'm sure most people would've rather waited.

    DoucheBagMcSwag,

    I’m sure that’s what happened to Hogwarts Legacy

    gaylord_fartmaster,

    I’m sure there are people out there with Switch as their only means to play games that would like to be able to play Mortal Kombat now and are happy it’s available. The people complaining have unrealistic expectations, either for what the Switch’s hardware can render, the amount of work that was and is required to make a game like it work on the Switch in the first place, or both. If you don’t want to play an inferior version of the game don’t buy it, but you clearly aren’t the target audience for the game.

    fushuan,

    That’s for the development company to decide. If its profitable they will keep releasing because there’s a market of people that want to play the game and only have a switch. Mortal Kombat is a multiplayer game that you play for the combat, not the graphics. You can play it for the graphics but fighting games fans don’t really, so if the game runs on the switch they open up to a huge extra market.

    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.

    stopthatgirl7,

    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.

    Every time it looks like it’s starting to calm down the idiot CEO comes out and makes a bunch of inflammatory comments and tells everybody it’s their fault for being confused or somebody actually asks for an exemption and they deny it on made up grounds.

    It would actually be better if they just fired the CEO and try to blame everything on him. That is literally their only move at this point.

    Is he the same guy who trash talk the employee a while back?

    In 2019, he said:

    “Ferrari and some of the other high-end car manufacturers still use clay and carving knives. It’s a very small portion of the gaming industry that works that way, and some of these people are my favourite people in the world to fight with – they’re the most beautiful and pure, brilliant people. They’re also some of the biggest f*cking idiots,” Riccitiello told PG in the interview."

    Apparently the new controller is also more silent. I wish it wasn’t so ugly tho

    GillyGumbo,

    I thought the same. I think it’s mostly the gloss that is making me not like it. Hopefully with the amount of variation Microsoft typically offers with controllers means the will be something that I can stomach.

    conciselyverbose,

    I could see the utility of the textured surface if it has the durability, but holy hell does it look bad if it's actually just cut in half for colors like that.

    If that's just for demonstration and the split is more naturally contoured, maybe it's OK.

    ninjan, w This is Microsoft’s new disc-less Xbox Series X design with a new gyro controller

    I hate flowery language like “now adorably all digital”. What the fuck is adorable about it being all digital?

    Yeah. But guess what, you can buy a disk drive. You can install another game launcher. You can even pir-[removed].

    There are inherently more options on PC than there are on a console.
