Problem is when things like Kerbal Space Program 2 happen, and they release a buggy mess and charge full price for it and then abandon the project.

I feel like established publishers (Take 2, Codemasters come to mind) should be specifically excluded from the Early Access program, or perhaps price limits should be imposed on games in the program…

Of all the games that could benefit from a remastering in 2024, Horizon Zero Dawn would be among the last of them. That game still looks utterly gorgeous, ffs.

Is day today having a privacy policy implies that the app is in fact being used for data collection. However, it appears to point to the general Google privacy policy…

But also, MFW somebody turns a perfectly usable desktop application into an internal website that ends up only working on one browser…

I love how all the reactions to this are either “I love this” and “this is cursed beyond belief”

I personally would get a kick out of this as a skin for occasional use…

I am constantly amused about how “next year” has been “the year of Linux on the desktop” for 20+ years. Meanwhile, Linux & BSD have pretty much completely taken over the whole world except the desktop in that same time.

You will own nothing and be happy

My very large organisation has Gimp available for basic image manipulation. I’ve tried to get them to use Paint.NET instead, but nooooo… Apparently we like hitting nails with jackhammers around here

Sounds like I’d be happy either way, sooo

I don’t think I’ve ever had this feeling, to be honest.

No Android builds :(

I really, really wish we could degender “guy” and “guys”. I know plenty of people of all genders that use the words in general to describe people, objects, concepts, everything. The only holdouts are people that insist on it specifically meaning males. Ironically, these people are often the hardcore feminists.

If other English words can change their meanings and be claimed/reclaimed by certain groups, why can’t others?

Take guy! Use it to describe whatever you want! Free it of its historically phallic shackles!

There are three issues here:

1. The leaked ROM of Tears of the Kingdom and a .nfo that specifically told people to use Yuzu
2. The developers recently released an Android version that works really, really well. There are many Android based gaming handhelds on the market now, and several are powerful enough to run Switch games using Native Code Execution (think virtual machine for ARM). Switch emulation was being used as a benchmark in techie videos of these products! TotK still isn’t great on the most powerful ones, but give it another year or two, and you’ll get the full Switch experience without a Switch.
3. The developers fucking sold the emulator. Sure, it was only for early access, but a sale is a sale. Then there the whole patreon thing.

Those three things combined put Yuzu right in Nintendo’s sights

I’m gonna try reading it while on shrooms to see if it makes more sense

Not necessarily. The LLC will pay out as much as it can and then filler for bankruptcy. The individuals will likely get off scott free since they’ve not actually been convicted of any wrongdoing.

I imagine that developing Yuzu and Citra would be a huge item on their CVs, too. Honestly, if Nintendo were smart, they would have tried to buy the project somehow and hire the developers to work on backwards compatibility for whatever the console that comes after the Switch 2 is…

Yeah, of all the forks and mirrors I’ve checked out, none of them even have the Android builds. Obviously I’ve not checked them all, but still…

I started paying for YT Premium a few years ago when there was an election on, and one of the absolute worst minor parties that’s run by a billionaire just threw money at YouTube advertising.

I haven’t looked back. I watch YT content on my ShieldTV poetry much exclusively, so adblock doesn’t work anyway :/

Google having a history of all the videos you watch via your account.

They already do this anyway. They also do it whether you have an account or not.

The clarifying statement I’ve seen elsewhere for this is that “…there are no impediments to returning the cart”.

I would say my Sega GameGear, but I just went to turn it on, aaaaaaand it’s probably well past time to replace the caps. And screen. And motherboard…
