In the modern game industry, you get hit with layoffs even if you do well so it doesn’t really matter what the quality of your product is in the end… You still get laid off.

Honestly, this article shouldn’t be called how to. I’m trying to make heads or tails of this documentation but I would love to see more. I just want to recompile Mystical Ninja starring Goemon as it’s my favorite N64 game from my childhood.

Just a thought, remakes like this tend to appeal to people in the PC crowd. We’ve all moved to PC for various different reasons. Better games, better prices, better hardware? Emulation and software preservation is the name of the game for a lot of people. Those people are working everyday to make things like the steam deck the dream game console they always wanted. That’s the kind of person who will go back and replay Final Fantasy 7 four or five times.

Abso lutely. Microsoft and Google basically have a duopoly on corporate email and no one seems to care. I know this does seem relevant but trust me it is.

I think Nintendo is dancing into dangerous territory here. I have a feeling this thing is going to be loaded with anti-features here specifically designed to curtail modding, piracy, and even unlicensed peripherals. The games themselves are going to get HD re-re-eleases and Nintendo will charge you full price again for the moderate upgrade.

There are a lot of Android based Pocket devices out there like the retroid. Imagine having a retroid or ayn odin that can also double as a wii u controller.

The same reason a movie theater owner can’t show Pee Wee’s Big Adventure every weekend. Value is derived from exclusivity. Exercising your “rights” to a work means preventing anyone from having access to the work unless you are paid when and how you want.

Rem4 has the energy of a movie that was made because James Cameron walked into Capcom main offices, met with the presidents, stood in front of a whiteboard and wrote “Resident Evil$” making sure the s was notably a big red dollar sign $. Everyone applauded and then they made whatever the hell they wanted.

and I love that about it.

(Note: this is basically how we got the move Aliens 1986)

Don’t worry, Nintendo will make a switch 2 and all the problems will be fixed!

Yeah I think this is actually it. They fattened up the pig and now they’re butchering it down. Extracting every last ounce of value for shareholders.

I’m at the stage where you stop complaining about videogames and you just stop buying them.

I’ve realised that all the people who worked in the videogames industry that made it special have either sold out, dropped out, or aged out at this point. Keep your expectations low my friends.

I am addicted to this feeling of revelation. There is nothing like it. Now I collect old networking equipment and try to get it to work in ways I never thought it could to get my fix.

I wear it out. Screaming, kicking, blasting “we’re in this together now” by NIN cranked up to 11. Physical exhaustion will bring with it its own form of revelation.

A good workout helps.

I really can’t wait to see the Matt McMuscles “Wha’ Happun’??” Episode about this game.

I just don’t want to think this mess anymore. Please Matt, save me from the thinky pain!

Cool maybe this means more indie games…

Idk I gave up a long time ago when I learned rolling layoffs was the norm in game development.

All these bad games as a service need to keep failing.

His tone, the way he mocks other creators, comes off as (for lack of a better term) developmentally stunted. I understand if you disagree with the product because your vision is different, but the way he expresses it is so reductive that it’s hard to see his points as valid beyond his feelings.

With that being said, It’s been awhile since I’ve seen David Jaffe and he’s kinda got a “We’ve got Dan Harmon at home” vibe about him now.

Nintendo, “Sure that sounds like a great idea … For me to poop on!”

The original artist and everyone who’s viewed the video receives a cease and desist the following morning. They are all instructed to carefully and completely remove any Zelda related material from their minds or otherwise be charged with thought piracy.

I think it’s worth checking out some diy alternatives that get the job done. I built my own “steam box” with some cheap Ali Express parts (Elsa 5700xt and Erying motherboard with core I9 equivalent engineering sample) to great success. The OS is key. I’ve found two that work very well:

chimeraos.org (requires AMD GPU) github.com/ublue-os/bazzite/ (Works with Nvidia but it’s unstable using steam full screen at times)

I’ve had a great level of success with ChimeraOS so far.

I have thought about trying a minisforum with the built in 6600m but I haven’t given it a go yet.
