That's totally not draconian BS at all, yeah, not worth it. Nintendo's perfectly fine doing what they've been doing, if it ain't broke, don't fix it.
proactive > reactive. Even if the current system functions, if there is means and time to improve it then improve it. All those really old bridges in the US are technically not broken, but they should really be fixed or replaced before someone dies.

My point still stands, gamers shouldn't have to suffer for the actions of 1%/pirates just so they can find some BS reason to restrict or add DRM, etc.

My point is that there is most likely a way to implement a system that is completely invisible to genuine users but makes things difficult enough that you can't just install Freeshop Switch then pirate to your heart's delight.

All I did was provide a logical explanation for each one. The one for the fonts might end up being something different, but still logical.
I could be reaching with my previous post and this one (who knows, perhaps I'm just desperate and want these features to turn out to be true), but I was curious and tried to see if i could find information about the fonts the switch uses. A google search and all I could find seemed more about "guessing" the font than what was in the system itself. I'm no hacker, but switchbrew.org mentions different title lists, some of which are various fonts:

http://switchbrew.org/index.php?title=Title_list

aside from korean, taiwanese, and chinese font, theres "standard" and "extended". I've no idea what that means, but perhaps some fonts are slightly different, and would it be too far fetched to assume that the zelda theme uses a different font than the other "default" themes?

That's giving Nintendo too much credit, things are fine the way they are. Also yay for 23K posts? :P

    Did you feed the hamster in your internet router? It prob died and is running slow now.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @BigOnYa, why did you start saying my pc has a hamster in the first place?

    Its actua!ly just a old joke, meaning its slow. Was just kidding around with you.

    I bet @AncientBoi has some hamsters hidden somewhere tho....

    I think Game streaming should work like this.... Local Hardware able the run the game fine, game engine and common assets stored locally, all FMV and music and textures could be streaming

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Some temporary storage
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    also @BigOnYa im making some progress on my gdevelop project, implemented various mechanics
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They went all in on streaming, should have been more of a hybrid approach

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Or free government supplied high speed internet be nice also. Like Obama care. Xdqwerty that's cool, its time consuming but rewarding once done or playable, to see what you've made from scratch. Animations take forever, but worth it.

    @BigOnYa, although the bullets are a bit buggy

    Not to mention this would be a massive pain to pirate

    @BigOnYa,
    and the visual aspect of the game is quite crude (the sprite that looks best is that of the protagonist just because he is a stickman with sunglasses)

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    There is a bullets behaviour you assign to your character, that makes the code easier, under "behaviours"
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    i meant that when the character is pointing to the right, the bullets spawn where they should, but when he is on the right, they move to the right but the spawn point is incorrect
  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    Itch.io has lots of free assets also. Under the bullets behavior tab, there is a "rotate bullets" option, can try that. Or in the code can try
    - fire bullet Player.X(PlayerDirection)

    im taking a break for today anyway

    YEa gotta after a while, looking at code for long periods will bug your eyes.

  • BigOnYa @ BigOnYa:
    That's cool tho, I'm proud of you going back to it, not giving up. It is difficult at first to learn, but fun once you get the hang of it. I think I've watched every tutorial video there is, but I still struggle sometimes to get stuff to work right. But gotta keep trying dif things, and eventually you will get it right.
