    Super Mario Bros on C64

    Not really relevant here: this was a copyright claim, not trademark. You don't need to defend copyrights unless you want to.

    Oh, they already fixed it? Whoop, sorry mate.

    Nintendo Switch

    It's a hardware issue, they literally cannot patch it without releasing new hardware. Which they will be shortly, but nothing they can do will ever remove the ability for someone to hack the hardware already out there.

    Nintendo Switch

    What do you mean "cracked"? It's been possible to run unsigned code for... over a year now maybe? And self-signed code for a few months. Custom firmwares exist. You can run linux and Android.

    Evercade - buy your retro games on carts for this thing

    Assuming it's real it's probably information by invite only.

    Some personal stuff - and prototypes building!

    Sorry, my misunderstanding. I thought you said ptitseb had been using it at max speed without it throttling, but now that I reread you only mention that it didn't immediately throttle, not that it doesn't eventually. I'd be interested to know how long it does take: is it minutes? Hours? What...

    Some personal stuff - and prototypes building!

    Bro, plastic also conducts heat, albeit slower than metal: from there it'll dissipate into the air, desk, or hands. The CPU produces an amount of heat energy in a concentrated area, the heat spreader and heat sink take that energy and spread it around the case; lower concentration of heat means...

    How do you pronounce GIF?

    1) I think it's telling that when people discuss how it's said, even when they say they pronounce it with a soft 'g', they'll say "I pronounce it JIF, not GIF", which fully acknowledges that GIF *should* be pronounced differently from JIF, ostensibly with a hard 'g'. 2) Creators are frequently...

    FUZE⁴ - Game coding education tool app for Nintendo Switch

    Yes. No. Maybe? I don't know, can you repeat the question? And to actually answer the question, I am... not? excited I guess? Like, I am, I acknowledge that this is a good thing and it looks like a great way for beginner and intermediate developers to get started with game development, but I...

    Any Morrowind fans here..?

    Just a heads up if you sign up, the checkbox authorizing them to sell your data and send you all kinds of spam is plainly available but hidden by the popup which tells you how to write an email address. Make sure to uncheck that before you start typing.

    World News Thread (Politics,whatever)

    I've been watching the politics game for about 20 years now and seen a lot of plays and this right here, what you just posted, screams of distraction, an attempt to discredit and waste collective mental resources so that people either aren't paying attention to something else, or they're too...

    Any Morrowind fans here..?

    What's the different between game of the year and not? I've got original on Steam, only briefly played it though

    Some personal stuff - and prototypes building!

    That's what levi was saying: it's basically done, there's nothing obvious left to integrate: the wifi works, the screen works, the sound works, the RAM works, the SD cards work, the battery charging works, even the cell modem works (just pining for some high quality user interface); everything...

    Absurdism corner

    Here's a video of my cat that I just found. It's from 2013.

    Google Stadia

    Yeah, that video basically sums up my thoughts on it: it was a great game for the time, but it's full of issues in map design and gameplay (mostly because it was a fairly new medium for the genre that was still being explored) that more modern games have learned from and solved. It's a good...

    Google Stadia

    Well yes, that's been common knowledge for a while, but again, they make huge amounts of money from physical sales. They're not going to give that up so long as people keep buying. If they stop selling something it's literally only because people stopped buying it.

    Google Stadia

    Not that I've heard of. This is the first I've even heard it suggested, and I like to pretend I'm pretty well informed about most things. Can't find anything through a few google searches that mention plans to drop physical media.

    Google Stadia

    It didn't die (arguably) but I'm replaying Metroid Prime and have to admit, it's a good game, it looks great and handles ok but only if I judge it by what it is: if I think about the evolution in gameplay in first person adventure games that has occurred over the last 15 years it is...

    Cadence of Hyrule for Nintendo Switch

    Nah, you can thank ME now because that's just the whole nindies. :p Here's the trailer:

    What are you playing this weekend/these days?

    Yeah, this is why I'm kind of opposed to Proton. With Wine it was just a stop-gap, Linux users used it because it was all that was available. Proton is written by and promoted by a major industry leader: how many companies are now going to go "we don't need a linux port, we'll just let Proton...
