If you don’t think it’s weird to draw funny cartoon animals all over official documents, and somewhat attempt to guess people’s marital status out of nowhere when they do, you might be a bit weird.

Please keep your weird stuff private, furries/scalies.

My cousin’s out fighting dragons, and what do I get? Chat duty.

Except the thing XBox tried to do required a permanent online connection to play your own games, which was what caused the most backlash.

I certainly hope it’s not the case for Switch (2) and you can still start your games offline, since, you know, it’s supposed to be a handheld too.

Also XBox tried to apply their DRM to physical media too, whereas this only changes how downloaded content works.

If we’re talking about the same thing, DS game sharing (download play I think?) did not share whole games and was not used for many games. Something almost identical already existed on GBA (though using a cable instead of wifi).

The idea was to upload a stripped version of the game to other DSs and let them join a limited multiplayer. Like, you could play Mario Kart, but players without the cartridge had only one character or you could only select certain tracks (on GBA at least). Sometimes game sharing was used for multiplayer minigames, while the main game was only playable with the cartridge.

This sounds more like the new thing they’ve advertized with Switch 2 being able to share select multiplayer games with other Switches, not the virtual game cards stuff. Though I don’t know whether those will be limited like GBA and DS did.

Apparently so. Doesn’t change that 1+2 still had only half of its content on its cartridge.

Though they’d need a 32GB cart to put them on a single cartridge, and apparently those were used for like 12 games total. So maybe it would have been cheaper with 2 16GB. After all, the Wii U version of this pack had a physical disc for each game.

The memory of your console is rippable too. they might try to make it more difficult (and fuck that) but I’m sure someone will always be able to get those files one way or another.

Nintendo did it on at least one occasion, not counting games with big DLC that of course aren’t on the cartridge.

Bayonetta 2 came with 1 on Switch, but only 2 is on the cartridge, 1 is a download code.

I used to buy physical as much as I could, but nowadays it doesn’t mean anything, so I don’t care as much about it.

Flash memory cartridges die, even faster in cases of bad batches. Optical discs have disc rot (again, some worse than others). Many many games have updates, DLCs or patches that won’t be on the physical medium. Plenty of games coming on discs have to be fully installed on the machine’s drive anyway because disc drives are too slow.

Most indie games, including some of the best experiences out there, never get physical versions, or only very limited ones.

The only way to preserve is to duplicate and archive everything, even if it’s not easy. Keeping original physical media as a souvenir is nice, but it doesn’t achieve long term preservation.

Because of his “edgy”, shitty provocative humour and how high profile he was, he’s generally considered one of the horsemen of the adpocalypse.

He did one too many nazi joke, articles were written, and suddenly all content creators had it a lot harder to get ad revenue, because announcers were all like “associating with youtube creators will ruin our brand”.

Pewdiepie may not be the only factor, but he was certainly a big one.

Don’t worry too much, it’s not even part of his actual brain. It’s a bunch of random brain cells grown from a DNA sample.

If we could make new conscious lifeforms from this, Blade Runner would be a documentary already.

Seriously?

1,739 jihadi videos, “a phenomenal quantity of scenes of decapitation, throat-slitting, shootings,”

Oh yeah, you know, being curious online.

Adult moderators for social networks/content platforms get serious trauma from less than that. The kid needs help, he’s being cut from that shit and followed by educators. And no, that’s not “police custody”.

but the more challenging and interesting parts, architecture and the debugging remain for programmers

And is made harder for them. Because it turns out the “easy” part is not that easy to do correctly, and if not it just makes maintaining the thing miserable.

I searched the article for anything meaningful. There is absolutely nothing.

They relayed two isolated sentences of a guy, notoriously son of a legendary animation artist, notoriously not quite as talented and in a conflictual relationship with him. So not the legendary artist, the one that nobody would know if he wasn’t his son.

The two sentences are “This thing is likely to happen. No idea how it will be perceived.”

Yeaaaah.

Not Google, but my favorite was “ethnaically anabigaus” appearing randomly on generated pictures.

You must connect with the road, every km or so stop and hug the asphalt.

The paper was right. I read that and I’m dying right now.

Dude.

You could at least look at what you’re replying to before jumping in and going full outrage mode. I didn’t even say anything about what I thought of the validity of that experiment.

Keep putting yourself forward to defend the poor, misjudged car company belonging to a crazy asshole.

They obviously pre-cut the wall, probably for safety reasons, and they were like, let’s make it a silly cartoon impact hole while we’re at it.

Good job.
