It's not due in December, it's actually due April 1st. I've been speaking to derrek directly and he said they're working on a PS3 emulator for the switch. How cool is that
Don't forget the multidimensional HTC Vive interface which lets you use the Joy-Cons as the controllers

Yeah, you're right and so begins all the little kiddies.

At least this helps us weed out all the members worth ignoring

Hi i read this https://twitter.com/derrekr6/status/884106715888848899 an says we have acses to the kernel and not showing any kernel sdk program screashot is hoax or real please anwser me
I don't think you know what a "kernel" is.

For one, a "screenshot" of the kernel would just show it open in a hex editor. There is no "kernel SDK program". Official Switch developers don't have direct access to the kernel; they use the SDK libraries to handle things.

Two, they don't have "kernel access". They dumped the kernel binary so they can now examine it on a PC. The equivalent is opening C:\Windows\System32\ntoskrnl.exe on your Windows PC in a hex editor. Doing this doesn't suddenly grant you access to either the full Steam library or the empty Windows Store.

EDIT: Also, it would help your case if you didn't make consistent obvious typos. Every browser nowadays has spell check, and your typoed words are underlined in red.

1) Do you know what auto-correct is? Why not try using it when typing your posts next time.

2) The kernel was DUMPED, which means that they can view the kernel in a hex editor on their computers. It DOES NOT mean that we can access it while running the switch and gain full permissions on the system.

3) There is no SDK for the kernel, since developers normally do not need access to the kernel to design games.

    So true
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    @K3Nv2 Snow Day is pretty fun. My only bitch would be the camera controls, when you move around, say down, you have to move the right stick left or right to get camera to turn and get your view, other than that I like it so far.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    From what people say pvp isn't even worth it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    I just been playing offline, and they give you a few bots here n there on your team to help battle. I don't think it's as funny as the other games tho, more battle oriented than humor, which kinda sucks, but I'm still early in it
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, doesnt the game have a campaign mode?
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Yea, and co-op, but you can also start a pvp session and battle just with friends. You get special skill cards (powers) the more you play. And higher value cards, but you can only enable so many cards at a time.
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    If you can find enough for it
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Toilet paper is considered the money, you collect and buy stuff with TP, kinda funny. Graphics are def better than the other games tho, I think they used Unity 5 engine.

    I bet most people at the time still watched it in black and white
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    @Xdqwerty, Many of them did before colour television was common.
  • SylverReZ @ SylverReZ:
    Likely because black and white TV was in-expensive.

  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    It certainly wasn't inexpensive it cost the same as a new car back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    How much did a 1965 color TV cost?

    For example, a 21-inch (diagonal) GE color television in 1965 had an advertised price of $499, which is equal to $4,724 in today's dollars, according to the federal government's inflation calculator.

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @K3Nv2, take into consideration how economy was back then
  • K3Nv2 @ K3Nv2:
    Yeah that's why they listed inflation rates
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Sorry didnt read that part
