Remember, just because someone posts something on the Internet with confidence, doesn’t mean they know what they’re talking about.

A lot of people really need to stop taking advice from Twitter/X, Facebook/Meta, Reddit/Lemmy, etc.

Spare me the predictable reply “but why should I listen to you” or any variation.

I mean, it’s still worth it. It’s not a live service game.

Didn’t plan to buy one, before the S2 was announced.

The number of anti consumer actions they take is amazing. They still hate YouTube. Instead of making their games not suck, they sue anyone who dares to try. They have a handful of console exclusive that even interest me, everything else I’ll get in Steam and it’ll play better, have cloud save, and a refund policy.

I bought a NES in the 80s because it was the most amazing, magical thing. Now I’m at the point of ‘Fuck Nintendo, let it fall’

I use them 100% of the time. Which yes, includes my own driveway.

You should train yourself to use them automatically instead of a manual step. Like a reflex.

And if you’re at a light and you plan to turn, you have that blinker going. Even if it’s a long red light, even if you think no one is around.

That’s still a valid equation.

Solutions are

X = 0

X= √3

X = -√3

I now know it due to this post. 100% will never remember it. Sounds like a very generic notification.

Holy fuck you really love defending capitalism!

So EA missed your radar? Or Tencent, Microsoft, Epic, Sony, Take-Two, or Ubisoft… Just to list a few on top, there’s certainly more. Rockstar already trying to say $100 minimum for GTA6.

I’m sure some CEO will send you a thank you card though. Maybe Bobby Kotick!

Right it’s the development costs … Not the CEOs making more money than any point in history, with a pay gap that’s just insane, executive making dumb ass choices…

Can’t be that, must be ‘development costs’.

Never mind that today’s world, we have some of the best toolings available for software development. Making it easier and more approachable than ever before and it only keeps getting better. And you don’t need to hire people that know assembly to make a video game… You can do everything and high level languages.

Stop letting the PR machine from the corporations influence you.

That bad boy never left my team.

Squirtle isn’t as good as Squirtle Squad, which would be peak. But it’s not an option.

And Charmander is just the basic pick. Picked by people who are 100% distracted by fire.

IMO, maybe a jerk, but that’s not necessarily a bad thing. I think more people need to hear news they don’t want to hear from someone they trust.

What I’ve told most teens looking at the future post high school is, have more then one career/life goal. When I was in middle school, I thought I wanted to be a professional chef. Only to discover I like cooking. I love cooking for friends/family… I loathed the toxic “professional” setting (especially thanks to Gordan Ramsey, who 20 years ago glamorized being a right jackass in the kitchen, pretending that was acceptable). Now I’ve worked in IT for nearly 2 decades and what I’ve done in my field has changed a lot.

I think lying to him and saying, “You can be anything, you can do anything, you’re amazing!!!” type of parenting is going to lead to problems if/when the plan doesn’t work out and they have no fallback. Personally, coddling your kid and lying to them just because it’s a short-term positive emotion (or you’re afraid of saying the truth), IMO is bad parenting. You’re not there to make sure they get the “right feels” or to be their best friend. You prepare them for the real world. Final note: you hear a lot of professional sports players say “I had a deal with my parents that if <sport> didn’t work out, I’d do <something else>.”

It needs to be a lot more cheaper, since you don’t actually own the game.

It’s the cost of the CEOs and shareholders that are driving prices up.

Previous upscaler was Nvidia as well.

It’s probably an Orin. It matches the die size that kopite7kimi mentioned. It’s also ampere based, which makes the most sense as it would either be based on 20 or 30 series. But regardless, it’s going to be cut down like they did for the switch, since battery life is the most important thing.

But no hardware in this planet can make Pokemon environments look good

Dang it. Good catch there.

lol, this won’t run 4k. Or it’ll just be smeary 4k up-scaling. And I really doubt games will run 1080p 60 fps.

That or this is just using a lot of “AI” bullshit. Render at 720p 30fps and then upscale it and then use frame gen to fill in the gaps.

So, economical reasons couldn’t account for the slowdown. It’s 100% education and contraception…? Not the cost of living is so high and pay is so low that supporting another human is a risky venture. Or people are working so many hours to make ends meet.

I’m saying most living things, real or fiction, are more likely to be selfish than listen to literally anyone telling them not too. And we see this in the MCU repeatedly, both on earth and in aliens. When you emphasis freedom of will and choice, you cannot be surprised when it’s exorcised.

Yeah, that plan wouldn’t work. There are plenty of people today on earth, where we have endless access to education and contraception, who go out of their way to have like 12+ kids. They know what they’re doing and simply don’t care.

Someone telling people “Hey, be real cool if you like, had fewer kids” just isn’t going to accomplish anything.

As a US citizen. YES. FFS, the point of sanctions is to compel a change or deter an action. Americans might pay way more attention when the rest of the world puts us in timeout because of the terrible leadership.

Well, yeah. That’s literally the point of sanctions.

I will always recommend the game. But holding to a budget is more important.
