I think it’s more there is a precedence of the government blocking software they think is a threat - https://cmmcinfo.org/list-of-hardware-software-and-services-banned-by-us-government/
We give the government a lot of leeway when it comes to “national security”
Also, we’re not the first country to ban it - https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/heres-what-happened-when-india-banned-tiktok
I only saw it cause it got a Oscar nomination and agree with the critics on this one.
It all felt a little off, like it was trying to be too many things at once. It jumped back and forth between what felt like parody/comedy/drama to the point it failed to do any particularly well. Or maybe it was a little too surreal to pull off the seriousness of the topic.
That’s cause all the Devin’s are distracting you with the AI uprising while actually planning their own.
You are right that it is more of just a spec bump, but given the warning that not all switch games may be compatible, I think the controllers are going to have different sensors (some have speculated a more mouse-like feature).
I’ve had every Nintendo console since the gbc and suspect I’ll eventually get this too, but they’ve got an uphill battle vs the steamdeck for me. Really going to depend on the first party games.
I feel like the nes->snes, gb->gbc->GBA, ds->3ds, and wii->WiiU were all pretty similar advancements.
In all of those except nes->snes you had backwards compatability, and the wii->WiiU had hardware backwards compatibility (which the switch 2 doesn’t, at least for controllers).
Yeah I liked the free form exploration, felt more like a kid on an adventure.
I my opinion this game did open world design better than most games out there. I personally put it above BOTW, but that’s probably a controversial opinion.
Really excited to hear they’re making a sequel.
The power bill side is also not even clear cut. The longer processing time for slower chips sometimes ends up resulting in higher costs. It’s surprisingly not as simple as lower wattage chip is cheaper to operate.
If you didn’t try it, “Bowser’s Fury” was a lot of fun. It’s annoyingly packaged with “3D World”, although if you haven’t played that it’s also a good 3D Mario.
Yeah, it’s not particularly interesting or impressive. We’ve been able to do this for years, just in the news cause it plays into a lot of people’s fears about AI.
I suspect this is an area where we may see AI assets help speed up development for smaller studios.
You’re missing the point, while everyone plays on windows, valve makes all the money. Now with handheld valve is looking to own the OS and Marketplace.
In the first one Microsoft gets very little benefit for all the gamin on their OS, in the handheld it’s possible they’ll own nothing.
Steam already runs fine on Linux, you don’t need SteamOS to us the compatibility functionality, meaning anything you can play on the steamdeck already works on a Linux pc.
I mean just look at his left foot (our right). It’s literally not stepping on anything!
Same, me and a friend struggled with that game for a while, but still remains an extremely satisfying game to have beaten when you couldn’t just look things up.
I thought I had a couple of counter examples, but every good game on my phone has a steam port (or originated on PC).
I really thought Miracle Sudoku would be phone only, but even that exists on steam.
If that’s the kind of game you like, then I feel like online is the only kind that does it justice. Games like “Squad” or “Arma” try for that level of strategy and realism.
Yeah I threw out borderlands and fallout just cause most people don’t think of them as FPS so i thought it’s possible you haven’t run into them.
The issue is once you remove scifi/creatures from an FPS, all you’re really left with is humans, resulting in everything being mostly military/war.
One other game I thought of that’s an FPS but a bit out there is Neon White
If you’re willing to look at older games then it does open up a bit too.
Wasn’t claiming it was a good or bad call, just that the Supreme Court is about legality and there is history of the US banning software and a global history of banning this specific app.
