Iwata is just different. It definitely won’t happen today.
- Comment on Is the 3DS worth purchasing despite it being "obsolete" today? 4 days ago:
Thats depend on what’s your intent is. If you just wanna play the game, like the other comment said, there’s a better dual screen android based handheld, which can emulate all nintendo handheld while also capable of playing some pc games with gamenative and droiddeck.
But the pros of 3ds is really how well build that thing is. I bought my n3dsxl in 2015 and use it until 2016, then left untouch until earlier this month. Thing still run as smooth as i remember more than 10 years ago, most thing still hold well, just have to fix up some rubber part and i’m already good to go.
Another pros is, i feels like emulator doesn’t even come close to how good to play the game natively, i feels like this and DS might be the only two popular console that you just can’t emulate the feels, especially the game that use the stylus. The 3ds lower screen is resistive touch screen, which mean you can just use anything as a stylus, where a capacitive touchscreen can’t. On pc you have to awkwardly use a mouse for that, and on phone you have to use your finger for it, obscuring the thing you’re clicking.
As for the games, it has a lot from the 3ds, but the backward compatibility mean the library is huge. It has all the good pokemon, the best Tales of, Chrono Trigger, Luigi Mansion 1 & 2, best Zelda game of all time, and many more. I’ve only start exploring it this months and can already see a lot of game that i might like. There’s also drawing app which make great use of the stylus.
But the biggest thing i think 3ds is really great and no other device is offering is the 3d camera. Now i can take a pic of my cats, but in 3D. Worth it. Oh and gaming in 3d without awkward eyeware.
But is it worth the current price? Idk, but it might be the last nintendo product you actually own the thing especially when you load it up with custom firmware(we all do that, right? Right?), while they can just brick your Switch when they feels like it.

…i can do that? I didn’t know i can do that.

Workaround is installing the game(if need to be installed) with Bottles(preferably in a location you can access), then add it to Steam as a non-steam game, change the compatibility layer to “experimental” or anything, then launch. I did this to the OG GTA:SA just a few days ago, and it works like a charm. You can also try using Bottles to launch it but i haven’t tried it.

When you alt+f4 then enter, that is the default option if update is available. Makes sense when OP accidentally pressing it, i know i did it a lot of time. Sometime update upon starting is fast, but i guess OP had one of those update.
- Comment on AI is mass decompiling games. That's both awesome and scary. 1 week ago:
They already decompiled indiegames demo and used that to build a clone of it and ship it, faster than the indie dev can finish their game. It’s definitely an awful situation for small indie dev because they not only have to compete with bigger budget, their peers, and the f2p market, now they have to compete with cloners

Yeah, remind me of 8BitDo as well, they have a range of “for your little brother” type controller, Lite, Micro, SN30, Zero2

Definitely not the end of the world, but people still can disliking it. We be hatin on clickbait title for years and this won’t be an exception just because they’re small-time.

They say it’s gonna be 100% parity in a month. Sand Altguy also claim we gonna have AGI in the next 6 months and Melon Husk claimed there will be full self driving today. We’ll see by next month.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
AI datacenter water consumption does have a footprint (especially when factoring in hydropower used not just cooling), but to say it’s “draining lakes” or destroying the environment while ignoring everything else is just bad faith.
Brushing it aside just because other matured industry does worst is not only bad faith, it’s also whataboutism. These AI datacenter only exists for about a few years, and they’re building more. It’s not only water usage, it’s known to produce noise, and also consume a lot of power that caused a price hike.
Just because wild fire is burning hectares of land every year doesn’t make slash and burn an ok practice.
Or you know, we can try stopping both.
- Comment on 1 week ago:
Agree. It’s interesting to me for a hot 30 second and after that it’s really just nothing special. Kid siblings playing with Ken and Barbie alongside with 40k is much more interesting than this. It’s interesting if people create a story with the mashup, it’s not if it just exists in its current state. It will definitely slowly fizzle out for the next few weeks.

- Comment on What was it like during the days of region locking on consoles? 2 weeks ago:
Biggest headache is to make sure your country is following what region if you’re not anywhere near those region. Like US region consist of the whole America(make sense), but for some reason also include Saudi Arabia and UAE(should be EU as it’s closer), and Singapore and Malaysia(should be TW as it’s asia and closer), while HongKong is with TW alongside Taiwan(where HongKong should be with CN but i guess this one makes sense as HK is autonomous region before the recent crackdown).

This one is quite hard iirc, i too struggle with it for some times. Mantis and their erratic movement always catch me offguard. The same as Nosk.

Man, kinda wish they bring back dino crisis. They recently said that they’re digging through their piles of old IP to bring back, hopefully one of it will be DC, and also megaman legend.

If they did that in Malaysia they will get a second round of boycott, this time they will likely share the fate of Starbuck.

- Comment on "Why should we just give up the entire month of November?" – The indie games going head to head with GTA 6 3 weeks ago:
The terms indie already changed quite a while ago, it doesn’t have to be self published to be called indie anymore. Feels like the exact conversation took place 10 years ago.
- Comment on "Why should we just give up the entire month of November?" – The indie games going head to head with GTA 6 3 weeks ago:
Why not? They publish indie game.
- Comment on You have to ENABLE the DISABLE of AI features in Firefox. 3 weeks ago:
Is this AI Blocker 3rd party plugin or first party setting? In the same sense if those ad blocker are first party stuff that’s build into, say, youtube or news site, then yes, that would totally be a better option, off to turn off ads, on to turn on ads. If it’s third party tools made literally to turn off ads, then it make sense to turn on to block ads and turn off to allow ads. Common sense, yeah?
- Comment on Mojang reveals The Sift as the first new Minecraft dimension in 14 years 3 weeks ago:
You know minecraft is their cashcow not because of the sales but because of the mtx right? Like, putting it on steam will open up an even bigger userbase. Literally every other storefront except windows store(i’m assuming) take the cut and they’re happy to sell it on there, the excuse of “keeping their revenue” just doesn’t really fly.
Like, i don’t really care about where they put it as long as there’s a linux version of bedrock, but then from experience native linux version tend to be sidelined often, so putting it on Steam is the quickest shortcut every dev can take to port their game to linux. Not sure why you’re so dead set against this idea but hey it seems like you’re the expert of the subject, maybe that give you the right to be condescending about it.

It’s a dark pattern to confuse those who don’t read word by word. In daily life, if i have to turn on the switch to switch off the light, it just wouldn’t make sense, unless when it’s intentionally want to confuse and make you switch on the light.
An On/Off switch for AI Enhancement reads significantly better than On/Off switch to block AI Enhancement, the first one is just basic intuition.
- Comment on Mojang reveals The Sift as the first new Minecraft dimension in 14 years 3 weeks ago:
Huh? What’s so insensible about that? If Minecraft Dungeon 1 and 2 can be release on Steam, i’m not sure what so insensible to ask for a bedrock edition to be release on Steam as well. Certainly not as insensible as to ask them to add a team just to make sure the native linux version run well.
- Comment on Mojang reveals The Sift as the first new Minecraft dimension in 14 years 3 weeks ago:
If releasing on Steam and let Proton do the work of running on linux is much more impossible than to ask them to write the program again but this time for linux, i’m not sure what to say.
- Comment on Mojang reveals The Sift as the first new Minecraft dimension in 14 years 3 weeks ago:
Honestly, I don’t see the point of adding Minecraft to Steam.
Bedrock on Linux. Java edition doesn’t have raytracing.

This seems overly convoluted and probably a mod, unless dude’s uncle works in Mojang.
