People turn to escapism because they are struggling to make connections in the outside world, not the other way around.

They still haven’t shut down their dependence on fossil fuels, so

Perhaps, but if so it’s the most harmless kind of cash grab. Getting to see a beloved classic in the theater is nice, especially if I didn’t get to see it back in the day. I’ve been looking forward to the Ghibli reruns. They get some cash to grab, I get to see Princess Mononoke on IMAX, sounds fair to me.

A dead guy is talking to a dead guy.

May also be poking fun at how a while after he died of Covid, his account started tweeting all kinds of GOP propaganda, including downplaying Covid.

GB launched with Wario Land 3, but not 1 or 2.

Still waiting for the SNES version of Dr. Mario.

Do you have a point to make? If so, please use your words.

@[email protected] said “before the Switch 2 release”. And while I don’t like Game Key Cards, they are just barely above code-in-box because you can still trade/resell them.

I was hoping the red S2 carts would be cherry-flavored…

What first party game was ever code-in-box?

Under current technology, that speed is very much impossible. Even if your internet connection was magically instant, there are still more bottlenecks in the way.

A high end NVMe SSD can write up to 12 GB/s. So even if we cheat and say the download is a highly compressible zip bomb that downloads instantly, it’s going to take about 42 seconds just to decompress and write it to the drive.

Scholar pretty quickly becomes negligible compared to how much scaling you get off Eris, any XMult would be substantially better.

The industry doesn’t care about preservation because they see it as competition. If I download some abandonware arcade game from a publisher that went out of business decades ago and no surviving cabinets even exist anymore, that just means I didn’t spend $80 on a new AAA game.

What Switch 1 cart is download-only? The closest thing I know of are some compilations like Final Fantasy X/X-2, which does have X on the cart but then gives you a download code for X-2. And even that is labeled on the box.

Rhythm Heaven Groove!!!

Finished up through Remix 8. Beatspell is rad, I wasn’t expecting it to be an actual roguelike.

I dunno what to say to you at this point, but you not noticing the obvious isn’t a good reason for new hardware to not exist.

Games like Donkey Kong Bananza and Kirby Air Riders would never have ran on a 2017 tablet. Nor could ports like Cyberpunk.

You don’t see the heavy perfomance issues in so many S1 games?

Game Key Cards don’t exist on Switch 1, those are all full cartridges.

And so is the Switch 2. S1 hardware is really showing its age by now.
