here questions right the asking

Gold Silver and Crystal also! Pokemon OSTs in general are pretty good.

I was actually listening to the Gold/Silver surf theme when I clicked into this thread, it’s pretty relaxing.

It’s probably the government-subsidized corn syrup but wheat works too

The point of the game is to shoot people with actual guns until you’re the only person (or team) left. Is the word “kill” really where ESRB draws the line?? (not that I think fortnite should be rated R)

Why did I know exactly which video this was going to be before I even clicked on the link

Smh this is literally what switch statements are for

Me when Jia Tan’s business enterprises didn’t work out

I aspire to know this level of retro trivia and am slowly falling down the rabbit hole.

There are actually relatively easy (easy compared to building a nuclear reactor) ways to deal with the waste that involve mixing it with concrete and glass so it can be safely stored in a way that won’t impact the surrounding environment. Kyle Hill has a great video about this on YouTube: https://youtu.be/4aUODXeAM-k

7/10, that was too coherent

I completely agree with that take, I was just making a joke about how the first sentence reads like the start of a comment that’s about to defend Nintendo

AFAIK the Yuzu accusations of containing code from the Nintendo SDK haven’t been proven and also didn’t come out until well after Yuzu had already shut down (it was drama surrounding the Suyu “devs” that tried to succeed them). The whole case was about them profiting off of their patreon and optimizing their emulator for a game that hadn’t been released yet.

It’s not that Yuzu used stolen code, it’s that they released updates that optimized for the leaked copies of Tears of the Kingdom, and charged money for it. If they waited to release builds until after the release, or if they had been doing it for free, they probably wouldn’t have been shut down. You might think this is a small difference, but it really isn’t because having the binary file of a game is not the same as having the code that made the binary. Realistically, if you are good enough at reverse engineering binaries that you can figure out the code well enough to make optimizations for it in the 2 weeks that the game was leaked for before it came out, you are probably getting paid enough that steaking your income on a community-driven emulator would be unthinkable.

Either way, Ryujinx, which didn’t profit like Yuzu did (and is written in a completely different programming language from Yuzu, with a completely different set of developers) still got shut down. Nintendo isn’t doing it because of stolen code, they’re doing it because it’s an emulator that exists.

Supporting unreleased games does not mean they used Nintendo code. The whole point of an emulator is to perfectly reproduce the original system. That means working on any switch game, regardless of whether said game has been released or even thought of. In practice it isn’t that simple because they are attempting to replicate a very complex system, so there will usually be patches whenever giant games come out that use the system in different ways. However, that doesn’t mean Nintendo code is being used at all.

I don’t think they paid him off, I think it was more along the lines of “We won’t do anything to you if you stop now”

You had me in the first half ngl (more like first sentence but close enough)

Aaand thats enough internet for the month

It is quite literally a foreign concept to anyone who only speaks English. That’s how foreign languages work.

How is the word pronounced though?

One step at a time 😭

Even if they were rate limiting they’re still just using the bot to train an AI. If it’s from a company there’s a 99% chance the bot is bad. I’m leaving 1% for whatever the Internet Archive (are they even a company tho?) is doing.
