Problem is when things like Kerbal Space Program 2 happen, and they release a buggy mess and charge full price for it and then abandon the project.

I feel like established publishers (Take 2, Codemasters come to mind) should be specifically excluded from the Early Access program, or perhaps price limits should be imposed on games in the program…

Of all the games that could benefit from a remastering in 2024, Horizon Zero Dawn would be among the last of them. That game still looks utterly gorgeous, ffs.

You will own nothing and be happy

Sounds like I’d be happy either way, sooo

Are you talking about MK8 on the WiiU, or MK8 Deluxe on the Switch?

For what it’s worth, I’ve only played the WiiU one, and I really enjoy it. It’s go as far as to say it’s the only Mario Kart I’ve really enjoyed. I don’t have a Switch, so I can’t talk to that version.

I don’t think I’ve ever had this feeling, to be honest.

No Android builds :(

I really, really wish we could degender “guy” and “guys”. I know plenty of people of all genders that use the words in general to describe people, objects, concepts, everything. The only holdouts are people that insist on it specifically meaning males. Ironically, these people are often the hardcore feminists.

If other English words can change their meanings and be claimed/reclaimed by certain groups, why can’t others?

Take guy! Use it to describe whatever you want! Free it of its historically phallic shackles!

Not necessarily. The LLC will pay out as much as it can and then filler for bankruptcy. The individuals will likely get off scott free since they’ve not actually been convicted of any wrongdoing.

I imagine that developing Yuzu and Citra would be a huge item on their CVs, too. Honestly, if Nintendo were smart, they would have tried to buy the project somehow and hire the developers to work on backwards compatibility for whatever the console that comes after the Switch 2 is…

Yeah, of all the forks and mirrors I’ve checked out, none of them even have the Android builds. Obviously I’ve not checked them all, but still…

It runs on Android now, which might be what’s gotten Nintendo extra annoyed here, since there are some relatively affordable Android handhelds that can run Switch games at close to full speed with some tweaking.

Having said that, I have an Odin 2 handheld, and it would have been cheaper and easier to just buy a Switch and the games I want to play.

It’s not just the enshittification of their own service; it’s the fact that so many audios decided to pull their content and set up their own enshittified services.

Now, if I want to watch stuff legally, I have to have a bunch of subscriptions, and we’re back to where we started from.

I started paying for YT Premium a few years ago when there was an election on, and one of the absolute worst minor parties that’s run by a billionaire just threw money at YouTube advertising.

I haven’t looked back. I watch YT content on my ShieldTV poetry much exclusively, so adblock doesn’t work anyway :/

Google having a history of all the videos you watch via your account.

They already do this anyway. They also do it whether you have an account or not.

I would say my Sega GameGear, but I just went to turn it on, aaaaaaand it’s probably well past time to replace the caps. And screen. And motherboard…

I have a novel idea. How about my operating system just being a platform to allow my games and applications to run? I’m sick of Microsoft adding “new features” that slow everything down.

I swear, every time a company adds “AI” to their product, it makes it dumber.

You’ve inadvertently discovered the Windows Rule: every other version sucks.

I liked them. I also really enjoyed playing 3D games on the 3DS, especially the 3D-ified 16bit games.

I use AIMP. It’s available for PC also. It’s like what Winamp would be had development continued, and it’s pretty great

Edit: I’m pretty sure it’s not open source, but that’s very low on my personal list of priorities, tbh

Then you are a good agent! My last job was for the ATO, processing tax returns & activity statements, managing written-off debt, doing the call centre stuff. I got a pretty bad taste in my mouth from some of the tax agent stuff I saw going on. Especially those big firms, especially eTax. Agents like yourself with business tax returns and activity statements were almost universally legends to deal with.

So many of my current colleagues absolutely insist that they must use a tax agent because it’s all so complicated. “Do you have investments? Rental income? Run a side hustle? No? Then just go to myGov”

…only to find out that they just went straight back to their dodgy agent.
