I’m sure Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross will make a great soundtrack but it’s a soundtrack to a bland American action flick so either they elevate it into something great by the virtue of their own talent and hard work or their efforts will be wasted. First is still possible but I think unlikely.

It’s too much of an American action flick or too much in general. There’s no weightlessness or strikingly bright details that were core to the aesthetic that defined both of the previous entries in the franchise. Music was an afterthought in the trailer so I wouldn’t have high hopes for that either. Pass.

So you’re literally hung up on the fact that Nintendo used someone’s rip. Are there some scene rules to prevent that or what because I’m deeply confused.

Ah, and I was thinking of PS2 emulator they use for classics in PS+ :D

Switch 2 backwards compatibility won’t be streaming-based, it runs locally.

Yuzu is licensed under GPL so that’s a no go because of copyleft clauses. If they use Ryujinx code it’ll have to be listed in legal / copyright notices because it’s using MIT license.

Then again Yuzu devs were able to keep latest builds behind a paywall so they probably could get all of the developers to sign the rights over.

In-house solution would still be preferable to those. Yuzu and Ryujinx had to be reverse engineered and Nintendo has all the docs.

Not the most descriptive title but I’d be smug too ;)

Haven’t played other Nier games but I think older entries are quite different in general. If you didn’t like combat of Automata then it’s probably a dead end.

I think you misunderstand the root of the argument. You’re referencing Nintendo copying someone’s rip and that seems illogical - DRM circumvention is illegal under DMCA and similar laws, right? Nintendo is the owner of the license and not licensee for those things however so they can’t really circumvent anything and therefore there is no law against that. Nintendo can download Mario roms off the internet legally because they are the publisher and won’t sue themselves obviously.

Maybe not that much of a hidden gem but I don’t see it listed in your favourites and I would expect to based on the other entries - Nier: Automata?

Well, one of the most respected Nintendo console emulators around, Dolphin, was developed in a clean room environment despite documentation being available due to leaks for this precise reason. To this day they’ve been undisturbed by Nintendo so that seems to be working alright.

Law is a pedantic thing.

Meant Switch 2 obviously :) Corrected.

One has to admit Switch 2 games look pretty great, especially for a mobile device that’s quite thin. Battery life is at early Switch levels however which is probably what Nintendo decided to sacrifice as a tradeoff for fitting it into certain budget.

I didn’t want to report this issue because it would give away my sausage fingers. Thank you for coming out of the sausage fingers closet first, it gave me courage to admit it too.

For now I’m enjoying using Voyager like a Dark Souls of Apollo clones. It’s very good at teaching you about accepting loss which makes hair grow on your chest.

Składka zdrowotna siłą rzeczy trafia na służbę zdrowia, bo niedobory wciąż są pokrywane z budżetu państwa. Niemniej, nie ma cudów, przy tak niskich nakładach jakość będzie do dupy i nie ma przykładów, żeby ktoś to robił specjalnie lepiej w takim budżecie.

Co gorsza, koszty słabej służby zdrowia rozlewają się na wszystkie obszary życia i gospodarki, czego nie widać w wielu statystykach. Za absencje płaci FUS, a nie NFZ więc NFZ nie ma żadnej mechanizmu sygnalizować swojego niedofinansowania, a zła jakość usługi powoduje niepotrzebne absencje. Nie wspominajmy już o profilaktyce i konsekwencjach jej braku, bo starcza tylko na gaszenie pożarów.

W większości Europy składka jest większa nie tylko dla przedsiębiorców (choć ta kwestia u nas woła o pomstę do nieba), ale i etatówców. Inwestycja w zdrowie opłaca się, bo unika większych kosztów w przyszłości. Ogólnie chcemy, żeby ludzie byli zdrowi, pracowali i płacili podatki jak najdłużej, nie?

I think it stems from the way you think about units of energy. Battery is imprecise but spoon is a discrete number. If you count the number of activities you can do on a given day then spoons might be more useful. Using spoons to me indicates that there’s not that many of them.

On track to Somalia levels of self employment because the system pushes you toward it while eroding 3rd least funded healthcare system in the EU. We’re speedrunning what US did because both conservatives and liberals can only copy US, otherwise they lose media support.

Michael Schur stuff. I’ve seen those shows so many times I don’t need to pay attention and I tune in when I need a little bit of sunshine in my life.

Jesus Christ, Godspeed to those watching. Truly one of the worst movies I’ve seen. You’ll lose brain cells in the process.

We won’t know the details for some time probably. Typically that would be running most CPU instructions natively or in a hypervisor (because it’s some ARM on both - that’s how Ryujinx on ARM Mac works) but mapping API calls to new libraries (like Wine does on Linux).

Was that emulator ever jailbroken to run other games? I thought it used some bespoke per-game config so it’s not as general as the Switch one appears to be. Nintendo compatibility list shows a very good coverage too.
