I don't expect anything will come out this but I really appreciate Ross trying to give it an honest shot. I can't help since I don't own the game but I can at least cheer from the sidelines an lend my power for a spirit bomb.
Go Ross Go!
I've been using emulation pretty much since I started playing games. It's actually one of the main reasons gaming became my passion (and eventually major money drain).
My favorite thing? I don't have to shuffle different devices to play everything I want - it's even more importent now, since I have a Steam Deck and can have all of them on the go again.
Here's a short list of titles I love that don't show up too often in threads like this one:
I'm not going to dump my whole library here but these are fun and rare enough worth mention.
As much as I agree with his sentiment, this title is bullshit - he never wrote "gamers don't want subscriptions" but that they shouldn't want that due to where it might lead.
"Gamers" aren't some hivemind entity that wants a specific thing. Many people don't worry whether an idea pushed by the publishers will have a long term negative effect on the industry, they just want to have fun with their hobby.
Look at microtransactions - there's a lot of negative discussion about them and yet they bring huge amounts of money, who's to say if the same won't happen with subscription services? We might not like it but majority doesn't necessarily care.
Sorry for being pedantic about a title but third-parties changing someone's words is a bit of a pet peeve of mine.
It's not like they can really avoid it. AI assisted tools will become a standard in the future ("productivity has to go up" after all) and there's a good chance Valve already received some feedback from AAA publishers on that matter, since they'll be the main players utilizing such tech.
The good thing here is the exsitance of a disclaimer on store pages, as it will allow people to decide for themselves, and the ability to report content straight from in-game overlay.
Full on ban was never a realistic option.
I looked around and apparently it's not that bad - his term ends in 2025 (elections are to be held in May at the latest) so he'll be there for about half of new government's tenance.
Still not great but there's a chance for at least some time without sabotage from the other side. Here's hoping they make it count.
Besides already mentioned methods there's also Lemmy Community-Browser.
It has a search bar and ability to toggle specific instances in case you want to avoid some of them. A bit simpler version of Lemmy Explorer mentioned by @DogMuffins.
It's kind of funny reading this considering vast majority of CIG's resources has been focused on S42 for years.
I'm not gonna argue about it though. I'm fully aware people backed the project for different reasons and in situation like this there's no way to please everyone. I'm definitely happy for all the folks that are more interested in the single-player campaign than me.
Let's hope with all those recent improvements they'll finally be able to speed up the process and deliver something for all of us.
Mitsuki has to be stopped, she's becoming too powerful.
Some things were already mentioned so here my other pet peeves:
It actually does, funnily enough. You have to set an environment variable for it to work though.
Now the question is: are they going to be complete assholes and change this check to prevent non Deck players from using it or not?
Like many people I'm not particularly surprised by this news but it doesn't make it any less unfortunate.
Good luck to all the people losing their jobs and rip SR2 patch. I just hope we'll get another good game from one of their series some day.
As much as I dislike Nintendo and wish Yuzu devs all the best I'd like to point out that Bowser wasn't some innocent guy who was caught by big bad company - Moonie has a video that goes into specifics about his involvement with a pirate enterprise worth a shitton of money.
Other than that yeah, I hope they can survive this situation. I wonder if Ryujinx devs are next.
