I’m not the one that wrote evil vs evil.
Just pointing out that Nintendo is a business and that the people making the Switch emulators that got shut down were extremely sloppy and idiotic.
- Comment on Nintendo Suing U.S. Government Over Tariffs 4 days ago:
The emulators that Nintendo killed were being developed by morons.
They traded ROMs and used official an official dev kit without even hiding it. There is zero chance that any software company would not bury them ASAP.

Fascists executing people on the street = evil
Company that sells stuff that never goes on sale = evil
- Comment on Nintendo Suing U.S. Government Over Tariffs 5 days ago:
I think that Nintendo did not pass on the tariff to consumers in this situation meaning that they have literal monetary damages. At least, that’s the rumor.
- Comment on The list is realistically so much longer. 1 week ago:
It’s not just those things that happened. It’s that everyone involved should have been arrested and incarcerated but it didn’t happen.
- Comment on Nintendo is issuing refunds for Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition's poorly-received premium Switch 2 Edition upgrade 2 weeks ago:
You can’t trust online whining just at face value. Especially something as easy to prove as flawed visuals.
Someone already posted a very good video showing how it has serious visual flaws in handheld mode.
I saw a video showing how it has the same LOD as the original making objects noticeably appear and disappear near the player character.
This update is not worth the money.

I want to see how it’s bad. I don’t care about social media complaining.
- Comment on BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games (Demon's Souls/Shadow of the Colossus remakes) 2 weeks ago:
Why make tens of millions when you can lose hundreds of millions?
- Comment on BREAKING: PlayStation is shutting down Bluepoint Games (Demon's Souls/Shadow of the Colossus remakes) 2 weeks ago:
It’s was an okay remake. Bluepoint changed the art style and for some reason there’s no way to delete a single save without deleting everything.
- Comment on Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST 3 weeks ago:
We can but it generally looks and controls like crap on modern screens. It has aged worse than many tank control games like Resident Evil.
Lots of people just wanted a nice graphical update with some quality of life improvements. I’m sure that shouldn’t take a decade and hundreds of millions of dollars to complete.
- Comment on Young gamers in Japan may not be forming the same attachment to Final Fantasy or Dragon Quest because modern dev cycles are as long as their childhood, users theorize - AUTOMATON WEST 3 weeks ago:
SE’s obsession with making every mainline FF game a 100+ million dollar project with hours of cutscenes and a combat system ill suited to fight the skyscraper sized enemies is killing the series.
They’re obsessed with spectacle. Nobody really cares about spectacle anymore.
- Comment on DEAD OR ALIVE New Project - Teaser Trailer 3 weeks ago:
It’s pretty good as a fighting game. Fast, fun and easy to learn.
- Comment on DEAD OR ALIVE New Project - Teaser Trailer 3 weeks ago:
I wonder how much DLC this one will have?
- Comment on Next-Generation Xbox Could Launch in 2027, Hints AMD - IGN 4 weeks ago:
Every game that runs at 30fps is already pushing the hardware to its limits. We have lots of those.
Gameplay innovations are mostly dead. You’re gonna play a live service game and buy cosmetic DLC.
- Comment on Capcom Developing Another Monster Hunter Wilds 'Large-Scale Expansion' Similar to Iceborne - IGN 4 weeks ago:
MH Wilds needs an engine rework and redesign more than it needs an expansion.
- Comment on Rumor: Voice actor page leaks Xenoblade game for 2026 4 weeks ago:
Those tears are your eyes trying to antialias those chunky pixels.
- Comment on 4 weeks ago:
The original has an infinitely better story and pacing.
Remake is a sequel. Lots of things won’t make sense unless there’s prior knowledge of the original.
- Comment on Horizon Hunters Gathering reportedly delays Horizon 3, as Sony prioritizes multiplayer PS5 game 4 weeks ago:
Yeah, I really wanted to like it. I tried.
It’s weird that I literally spent hours reading all the hidden lore and clues putting together the Elden Ring lore but HZD with its much better visuals and presentation couldn’t keep my attention.
- Comment on Horizon Hunters Gathering reportedly delays Horizon 3, as Sony prioritizes multiplayer PS5 game 4 weeks ago:
Actually, the writing is what made me stop.
Aloy speaks too much like a college educated woman and does not seem to have any negative traits from having been raised as an exiled hermit. What could have been a bunch of fun and interesting interactions ended up with Aloy always being right and very well adjusted.
- Comment on Horizon Hunters Gathering reportedly delays Horizon 3, as Sony prioritizes multiplayer PS5 game 4 weeks ago:
Sony second party games released on PC because their AAA games cost too much to make so they need a better return on their investment.
Pretty much undercut their entire console platform.
- Comment on Horizon Hunters Gathering reportedly delays Horizon 3, as Sony prioritizes multiplayer PS5 game 4 weeks ago:
Guerrila Games is a developer that is amazing at the tech stuff but their game design is 100% derivative.
I can’t even get through HZD because it’s just 100% Ubisoft open world design. It’s a beautiful world but it’s no fun to explore.
- Comment on Rumor: Voice actor page leaks Xenoblade game for 2026 5 weeks ago:
If you’re on PC then emulation of the Switch Xenoblade games is a great option. Play the game the way the developer intended.
- Comment on Rumor: Voice actor page leaks Xenoblade game for 2026 5 weeks ago:
Xenoblade 2 runs anywhere between 378-540p in handheld mode. That’s often below N64 resolution.
- Comment on Rumor: Voice actor page leaks Xenoblade game for 2026 5 weeks ago:
The entire Xenoblade collection needs a Switch 2 update. The Switch 1 was always way too weak for these games.
- Comment on Why adding modern controls to 1996's Tomb Raider simply doesn't work 1 month ago:
I feel like a modern Tomb Raider could copy a lot of Death Stranding traversal gameplay.
I want a TR game that allows the player to choose Lara’s loadout of weapons, clothes, rope, harness, climbing equipment, etc.
It should be challenging to raid a Tomb but players must get whatever was raided out safely.
- Comment on Why adding modern controls to 1996's Tomb Raider simply doesn't work 1 month ago:
It uses 1.1 through 1.4 for a single controller and 2.1 through 2.4 for dual controller setup.
Also, a the main reason why it feels like crap is because emulators do not translate the analog feel of the N64 correctly making a lot of those games feel super twitchy and very inaccurate.
I highly recommend trying out the decompiled version of Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.
- Comment on Why adding modern controls to 1996's Tomb Raider simply doesn't work 1 month ago:
Gondeneye always has a dual analog gameplay option just like modern games. It requires the use of 2 N64 controllers. It also let you turn off all the auto-aim if you really wanted to flex your analog skills.
- Comment on Hero shooter Highguard reportedly didn't even pay for the Game Awards slot that's earned it so much preemptive hate—the showrunners thought it deserved the spotlight 1 month ago:
There is definite live service game fatigue going on.

Always been changing = the people at the top fired a lot of talent.
