I always wonder how many of these are actually just patches behind the scene to fix viral trends. Or even more devious, they use the viral trends to patch a specific failure point to make it feel like progress is being made.

Same, it took an hour or two to click, but once it did it was a lot of fun.

I initially hated eternal, but stuck with it because of how good 2016 was. Glad I did because it’s a blast once you get the flow of things.

I don’t know why everyone is ganging up on you. Movies and fast food have both skyrocketed in prices recently. It feels like for two people to see a movie shouldn’t be $100, but maybe I’m the old man yelling at clouds.

I feel like that’s a hard thing to do. Most of the gatcha games I’ve interacted with hide core game mechanics behind gatcha pay walls.

The real issue in gatcha is that many games require money to make actual progress.

Tariffs can work, but they should be targeted and executed in a planned way. Completely decoupling China and US is more likely to break things than fix them.

If you look at Biden maintaining tariffs, export controls on chips, and the Chips act you see a very coordinated and purposeful policy to keep the US at the center of chip design and manufacturing.

Thanks for this, I was confused cause I thought it was still being released.

It’s such a shame that game didn’t get lore attention. It’s one of the best metroidvanias I’ve ever played and has amazing combat.

Edit: Talking about Prince of Persia Lost Crowns, the Mario rabbids game was also fun but not as good.

His videos have been pretty weak for a while. Happy that he’s been branching out into publishing games though.

I think the easiest way would be to have two vlans on your local network. One that is connected to the internet and another that is local only. I think you’d have to switch networks when wanting to access the jellyfin server in that instance, but would negate the main issue, which is your VPN.

Edit: that’s about the most secure you can get I think. If you bought a different physical router to host it, you’d have about as secure a setup as possible.

Exactly, the only real first party game was BOTW (and that also released on the Wii u).

There were some smaller games, like 12 switch/snipperclips/fast rmx, but the switch on release (and most of its life) was struggling for games.

Oh yeah, real physical games are better, no arguement from me.

Just calling out that it could be even worse.

The only reason they sold any was because the console released with like one game, which seems to be the same strategy this time around too.

I mean with this setup you can still sell the game and it keeps a used game market. I don’t like not actually “possessing” the game cause we know everything online shuts down eventually, but it’s much better than the “physical games” that actually just have a download code.

Not sure if it counts as open world, but a souls-like platformer with some great movement is Blue Fire

Just like the camera!

I thought that was only the rumored price. I wouldn’t be surprised if there is a price revision before release up to $500, unless they had already priced tarrifs in.

Given the switch2 is going to cost more, definitely.

Also games are going to be $80 apparently :(

Definitely, and that’s why hard/strict laws or rules can be dangerous. Much like the famous “I know it when I see it” judgment on obscenity.

The biggest issue with this line of thinking is, how do you prove it’s CP without a victim. I suppose at a certain threshold it becomes obvious, but that can be a very blurry line (there was a famous case where a porn star had to be flown to a court case to prove the video wasn’t CP, but can’t find the link right now).

So your left with a crime that was committed with no victim and no proof, which can be really easy to abuse.

Edit: This is the case I was thinking of - https://nypost.com/2010/04/24/a-trial-star-is-porn/

Outside of Maleficent, all of them have been shot for shot remakes (with one additional scene/song to make it “different”). And animation is just a better medium for magic and whimsy compared to what you can do in live action.
