I don’t even remember the last time Stephanie Sterling did anything like this, so it was just a weird blip. Not that she doesn’t goof a bunch. Still a great channel to stay up to date on the things that actually matter in the games industry instead of the usual hype machine shit. The only thing I don’t care for on the show is the wrestling stuff and when the editor does some schtick.

The obvious answer would be Black & White and its sequel, which for many is the definitive god game. You’re an untouchable god interacting with your world and physically manipulating it with your hand, but you also have a giant animal familiar that you raise to also interact with the people. You create miracles and either help or terrorize the population into following you. Not much combat if that’s what you’re looking for, but it’s a unique game that unfortunately has not seen a worthy successor in 20+ years.

I’m sure Nintendo intentionally throttles the Switch to improve battery life, preserve the integrity of the hardware, and provide a consistent experience. Not to defend their decision at all. I just think it’s funny how people tend to react to learning about how much the Switch is artificially held back, as if Nintendo is just being stupid about the potential of their own console. I think it’s very likely they did plenty of testing and concluded that the specs they targeted provided the best balance of positive overall user experience with the least amount of complications for developers. And it clearly worked because it’s one of the best selling consoles ever with a massive catalogue of titles. The small handful of power users who want a Switch 4K Pro are just destined to buy a Steam Deck anyway. Nintendo doesn’t want anything to do with that niche group of gamers lol.

You heard it here: Refusing to mislabel refugees as “illegal” is the problem, not drowning them.

Taki Udon demonstrates a Switch emulating a Switch running Minecraft with better performance than Minecraft just running on Switch stock firmware.

If this project gets finished this might be how I finally play a Mega Man game for the first time.

Doesn’t matter. If your PC is ever compromised, that feature is a one stop shop for stealing everything you have ever done on your computer.

Dang, I don’t like heavy use of the shoulder buttons as those tend to be the first to go. I do want to check it out. As far as fullscreen goes, not sure, but maybe it’s two different resolution options like with Virtual Console games?

How long until the majority of the Internet is inaccessible to non-Chromium browsers because the pages “don’t support them”?

That’s the Wikipedia bias. The vast majority of pages are written and maintained by a small number of people with a Western Centrist perspective, which tends to be more conservative. You start to notice it more once you see it for the first time.

Netanyahu could and the US would happily follow them.

After Oblivion, I really wished I had the option to quick load my last save.

Way to redraw your red line, Biden. Absolute fucking coward.

This is Microsoft, an American corporation, actively developing the things the Internet spazzes out about China probably doing. How happy this makes China? Buddy, imagine how happy this makes every marketing company in the world, your local police department, and your own government, all of which have a much more vested interest in everything you do on your computer and are considerably more of a threat to you than the ruling party of a country on the other side of the planet. Seriously, y’all need to get your fucking priorities in order. It’s borderline satire how fast your average Lemmy user slaps the China Panic button as soon as a privacy-related issue hits their front page.

Holy shit, I forgot about Artifact lol.

This is unreal. I’m looking forward to a new wave of modern ports for N64 games I missed.

Alternatively, run over with car. You can commit any crime while in a car and get away with it. It’s the law.

As a vegetarian who’s been excited for lab grown meat since I’d heard of the concept a decade ago, I wouldn’t hold your breath. It’s looking like one of those things that sounds great on paper, but isn’t viable at larger scale.

This is fucking nonsense. You don’t need to be at “president orders legal hits on political rivals” level of corrupt for a country’s electoral system to be in absolute shambles.

But holy shit do we have a ton of big actual nightmare problems in the US to worry about, and the health and safety of its eldest active war criminal is easily near the bottom of the pile. You know what, I hope you’re right. I hope Biden is fucking terrified for his life. Maybe that will scare him into doing the one god damn thing he needs to do to get elected.

When he’s no longer president, he’ll still have secret service agents guarding him with their lives 24/7. He’s the safest man on the planet.
