    Nintendo is yet again issuing DMCA notices to Switch emulators on GitHub

    Ehhh, I don't think the knives comparison is appropriate per se. There isn't that much skin at risk. This is more on par with campaigning against photocopiers & the printing press because "what if they're used to copy concert & movie tickets? Or worse... MONEY!? HOW WILL THE ECONOMY RECOVER...

    What's on your Christmas wish list this year?

    Hm. Not entirely sure. Most the stuff I want is slated for release next year. A PS Plus price reduction, the Metaphor Re:Rantazio Seeker model kit, and a Steam Frame so I can kiss my Quest 3 goodbye. A few Steam games would be neat too, like Captain Wayne Vacation Desperation (or just the Wayne...

    Reddit humor in video games

    Another day, another poorly-coined slang... Like... is this just the new euphemism for people who wanna say something's poorly written, but don't want to actually explain how it's bad? What subreddits are people hanging around in & why aren't they curating their online feeds better?

    Microsoft is internally testing a free Xbox Cloud Gaming service with ads

    We already have a method of "trying out" games. They're called demos. Especially in the PS3 & Xbox 360 days where you downloaded the full game that was effectively paywalled at a certain point with a small unlock once you purchased it. DOUBLY so when demos aren't under the genius idea called...

    Bowser is retiring from Nintendo at the end of this year

    And I'll raise you another from a Right-to-Repair activist (while I disagree with use of the word sociopath): "When a sociopath that runs one of these companies sees the result of him robbing people blind is not his own demise, but the people he robbed laughing at each other, he does it again...

    [UPDATE] The Pokemon Co. former legal chief responds to fans requesting legal action against the Department of Homeland Security over title theme use

    Knowing Nintendo employing the arm of the law to drag a PR guy out of bed at gunpoint as the actual hacker lives lavish elsewhere, this will probably be allowed to slide. Sorry, that's the breaks! They gotta go after cool stuff like fan projects that benefit people priced out their demographic...

    Former Capcom employee defends Nintendo's Game-Key Cards, says it protects the industry

    Precisely! I mean it when I say this, the only thing that would get me to comfortably go all-digital is the death of DRM & the Section of the DMCA that makes “circumvention” a crime. ESPECIALLY when a company puts effective ransomware that disables what you paid for unless you agree to some new...

    Switch 2 Cartridges Are Too Slow For Some Games

    It sounds plausible; audio & video files tend to be the biggest in games. So then put the game on the cart & ask the player to install it to storage. That's how Switch 2 setting unloc- I MEAN "Switch 2 Editions" do when you insert a Switch 1 cart. Heck, you probably wouldn't need to use...

    Given that Mario's 40th anniversary is coming...

    Whatever it may be, this one better be a VAST improvement over Mario's 35th Anniversary. A sick joke of a celebration of pins for buying re-releases, only one of which was actually good (and you can even still BUY at MSRP), all capped off with the closure of the ONE new game they made that was...

    Google plans to block sideloading unverified apps on Android in the future

    Considering the last few times this has gone with companies clowning on Apple for removing the headphone jack AND a charger from their phones later following suit the NEXT phone, I'm starting to think we aren't gonna be able to shop our way out this. Especially when people might have their own...

    Sony CEO discusses how PlayStation aims to avoid failures like Concord in the future

    Sony’s shuttered a studio that made one game that languished in development hell, sealing any chance of redemption, Is taking autonomy away from Bungie while Pete “no I will NOT take a pay cut to prevent layoffs, we’re not that kind of company! Don’t look at my vintage car collection!” Parsons...

    Nintendo Could Always Brick Your Console and America's to Blame

    I get it, it's annoying hearing a phrase repeated over & over again. Which is why I look at it this way; The DMCA, as it currently stands, is so lopsided in favor of corporations it lets them pervert language like "purchase" or "buy" into a euphemism for "rent" (sometimes still having rentals...

    Nintendo says Donkey Kong Bananza has sparse framerate drops, but prioritizes fun over performance

    This was already not looking like a $70 game, this interview snippet only bolsters that for me. Can’t wait air for all the Nintentubers & r/NintendoSwitch2 members to make excuses for this & bring up the rest of the gaming industry & say “I’ll GLADLY pay ANY price!!!” just because other...

    Brazil's consumer agency Procon-SP will legally challenge Nintendo due to their EULA banning and bricking consumer consoles

    This has already been the case for decades thanks to exorbitant import taxes that jack up the prices for (official) consoles & games to over double their prices here in the states. It’s also part of why the Master System is still popular, as well as the PS2 with its security busted wide open...

    No (Global) IPv6 Address nor IPv6 DNS in online settings?

    Greetings, I'm using a TP-Link AXE7800 Tri-Band Wi-Fi 6E Router. I've had my Switch since day one, and it's been chugging along well. Had some confusion with the download speeds wired being slower than wireless - turns out I had to lower the MTU for the Ethernet connection back to 1400. And...

    Hacking Best practice for preserving Switch 2 exploitability?

    Wouldn’t it be really funny if someone just solder-bridged or jumper-bridged two pins on the Joy-Con 2 connectors & managed to get a similar entry-point as the first one. That’d be hilarious

    Saying NO to fascists/nazis - if you are one of those, you are not welcome here

    Steve's WoW Gold Mine [look it up] has more to do with GamerGate than any notion of "ethics". Anyways, this forum was long overdue for this sort of policy. Was sick of all the "forced diversity" euphemism bandying by profoundly incurious looking for a scapegoat for Not Liking Something.

    A new PS3 emulator "aPS3e" released for Android... but with a caveat

    Paper was invented in China. Learning about that case after the fact when I was so young I didn’t even know why PSN was down all those years back has been so nuts, even this bit of info is funny. I gotta go look cuz I’d love to see the picture, especially knowing the hacker behind it had the...

    Might Team Xecuter return?

    Especially not stuff with anti-tamper that’ll take your system hostage for trying to reverse-engineer it. Or y’know, just brick your system outright in an attempt to kill clone carts if Moon Channel’s (the lawyer, not the plagiarist doomer) claim that Gateway was also Team Xecuter.

    Why do people hate Bandai Namco?

    The big one is that they LOOOOOVE artificial scarcity. P-Bandai is an ”exclusive” pre-order site where you can buy imported merch only available in a specific time window and if you miss it, it is gone. Except stuff can sell out even BEFORE the actual cutoff date. Then there’s the Digivice...
