Personal opinion: Because some food should not be that cheap. It’s part of the reason we are so fat in the US (plus car centric cities). Subsidies keep some things like corn artificially low and they end up being hammered in into every product (biodiesel, sweeteners, animal feed, etc.)

With that setup, companies have learned to use those subsidies and other workarounds and loopholes to maximize profit at the expense of the product being output and we fall for it every time.

Edit: plus the usual smoke screen if using some events like COVID to jack prices up, increase executive pay and acquire smaller companies to artificially set the price in some instances.

The problem is game companies don’t make games for gamers, they make games for investors. Hoarding IPs and patents is what they do.

Forgot the top 5/6/10/25 things you didn’t know about game XYZ pulled directly from some YouTube video. Also applies to Tech news websites.

Reminds me of The Legend of Zelda’s Satori/Lord of the Mountain. Are they based on the same Japanese lore or reference perhaps?

GameCube games MSRP was 49.99. Adjusted for inflation it is $79.30. The reason things feel so expensive is because you get half cooked broken DLC ridden games as the norm and a large portion of income goes toward housing, transportation (cars specifically), food and education.

Not to mention that some providers offer APIs to provide certificates without opening port(s) 80/443. This allows using nice host names on your personal domain with valid SSL over the internal network too. Want to migrate a server or service? Just change the IP associated with the domain on the internal DNS. Makes migrating and upgrading a lot easier.

I honestly think some console games look pretty good and perform well. It’s hard to have something optimized when the hardware is so diverse. Similar to iPhone vs android. With that said, PC games without some ass backwards “copy protection” and “anti-cheat” will always be excluded from my lists.

Mario kart sure does though. If it truly is whatever pricing they claim, it is THE GAME that could offset the development costs over the period of time it will be sold for going by past Nintendo consoles. There is one Mario kart per generation with maybe some (paid) downloadable content later.

They initially also only did it in places that consumer protection laws would force them to. Some markets (at least initially) didn’t get the same benefit.

People are referring to damaged physical media = can’t play it. That’s always been the case. You mixed 2 different things into the same point, which are wildly distinct and why people say they agree partially.

The point about Nintendo not having significantly larger sizes on games could be attributed to a few things:

• Their developers were sometimes exclusively making Nintendo games = more familiar with the hardware and how to use it effectively
• They were guaranteed to sell a few million copies of a game = they could afford to run the numbers on refactoring the games resources and asset logic to maximize cartridge size and still come up on top. With the scale of sales, this could cover a specialized developer exclusively optimizing techniques to save on that front
• Many third party studios run their games through some converter and fix what’s remaining, the result are turd sized and non-optimized executables. E.g.: see iOS and Android app and game install sizes.

More like, they’ve never been known to pass the savings to the consumer on the digital front. Some games were more expensive on the e shop than physical copies from time to time iirc.

Fully agree. I disabled the joycon motion controls on Zelda to be able to play it. I was not going to give Nintendo more money for another faulty replacement.

It is part of the reason I will not buy a switch 2. They evaporated the trust I had in them chasing profits by not acknowledging a very known problem.

It’s clear that it is lawyers and bean counters steering the company. The only thing they still have going for them is they delay games until they are acceptable, once that boat has sailed, you know it will be all downhill going forward.

I was about to say, I never got more than 3-4 on the one I own. You refreshed my memory. It also had an OLED screen on the updated hardware.

You don’t have to take my word on this, but when you have so many vulnerabilities, the foundation and knowledge about security practices by the developers is missing some key ingredients.

I use Jellyfin. I like jellyfin. I would like people to use jellyfin, but do it responsibly.

Citing backwards compatibility is not an acceptable answer either. If individual endpoints and/or protocols (web sockets) are being addressed as separate issues, then there is no overall filter for the most basic thing as checking if the user is authenticated, you know a potential attacker will look for more.

Will they target jellyfin instead of your average government website with a low budget and similar issues? Unlikely, but possible if the level of effort is low and can potentially create a large botnet, maybe?

You handle these with overall filters (or whatever they are called on c#) and white lists if something truly needs not to have it instead of reacting when someone reports it.

The simple fact that some of the code was sending api keys as GET parameters (which get logged cross every access log in the middleware on its way to the target server) and it didn’t raise any flags seems sufficient enough to suggest DO NOT expose jellyfin directly to the internet.

By then you would have racked up thousands of dollars in legal fees. Not to mention if anyone posts anything negative about the current administration you could be used as an example.

We already have students on visas being kidnapped off the streets, let’s stop pretending the law actually matters for the people in power.

Bash does seem like a better fit for this kind of script since it is a lot more portable.

I.e.: It comes by default for many Linux distributions. For windows, a Git bash install will get you most utilities needed for large reliable scripts (grep, scp, find, sort, uniq, cat, tr, ls, etc.).

With that said, you should write it on whatever language you want, especially if it is for learning purposes, that’s where the fun comes from :)

Can’t be delayed if there is no release date (other than possible 2025). Luckily Nintendo does delay their games when needed.
