    'Metaphor: ReFantazio' opens Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders

    I couldn’t get enough of this game. I played P5 Royal & P3 Reload, and this has to be my favorite incarnation of the time-management dungeon crawler formula to date, doesn’t feel like it overstays it’s welcome either! I beat it once on PlayStation (when it came out, before… y’know), and got real...

    Your wording of “not my problem” was why. Sure, it’s not the technology itself at fault. It’s the major players using enough electricity to power a small town. From what I’ve seen, it’s either a general disclaimer like with WiiCompiled (which seems fine, I just don’t have a PAL copy), or the...

    Because investors & shareholders tend to research where their money goes, and a high "user" count is a nice boasting & persuasion point of companies to get more funding. Especially "daily" or "recurrent users". Kind of like it's a binary metric they can easily abuse to manufacture consent... I...

    Okay. I care about what’s going on in Memphis because I’m black, myself. And I know eventually these things come for us all. Way ahead of you on wanting solar & nuclear, and blaming the people rigging things in their favor (as shown by mentioning Nvidia & Palantir) And that’s not what LARP means.

    Except they didn't "Basically gave up", it was a project they were working on in their spare time because these are projects they aren't allowed to monetize in the slightest. Legally. Then CyberWarrior gets hired by PolyMega, and suddenly they're "taking money to NOT work on it" (actual YouTube...

    I mean it’s not like any other developers before this AI craze have dedicated their whole lives to the craft , helping with foundational tools for multiple systems, only to be called frauds by people with ROM libraries in the hundreds just because they didn’t deliver on one singular project...

    Golly, I bet their quivers are mighty light too since they’re not shooting the messengers who dare to hold bad news, even if it’s true!

    There’s a reason why people like how Joel Haver makes live action footage look like a cartoon & why people didn’t like Corridor Crew replicating an existing artist’s style. Personally, I wish the “technology” would die a fiery death because as we know, give any tech industry an inch and they’ll...

    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...
