It’s over bro, the developers who made the game you love are long, long gone. That isn’t your company, it’s a corporation wearing that company’s bloody torn-off face as a mask

It’s a lot easier to accept when you absolutely know the people who made your favourite series are gone.

I agree except the part about revolution. There was no revolution my friend. Just a temporary protest that didn’t accomplish anything.

I know it got quashed; I’m not saying there was a revolution. “Free Hong Kong, the revolution of our times” was the anti-oppression slogan said by the victor of a heartstone tournament (which there was no rule or stipulation against), which caused Blizzard to ban the player from all tournaments, and refuse to pay him the prize money he’d won in an attempt to suck up to the chinese government.

To clarify: I don’t expect a gaming company to stand up to a full blown authoritarian regime. But I certainly won’t support a company that willingly goes the extra mile to sell out to them.

Every Nintendo fan.

As a Nintendo fan, this is pretty accurate.

Although getting joycon drift twice and then being able to play TOTK free from drift by pirating it onto my Deck may have finally brought the roots free.

I want my favourite Nintendo games to become open source or open domain. Why do we have to wait like a century for open domain? 20-40 years would be much more reasonable.

What emulator and settings are you using for ToTK? I tried playing it on my beefy desktop, and it couldn’t get passed 40-50 frame in the beginning area, while standing still…

I downloaded Yuzu from flathub before Nintendo went after it, but continued to use it after.

I had to expand the swapfile on my Steam Deck to prevent it from frequently crashing, but I don’t really care about frame rate, so long as it’s playable. I’ve not been paying attention to my frame rate.

Let go. It’ll be quick and painless.

I just follow Skywind. I can’t give a fuck about whatever Bethesda does, as long as they leave those folks alone.

Isn’t it a hell of a thing? Their soundtrack is especially good.

Dunno if it’s TES or Fallout that you’re into, but if it’s the former, check out the Beyond Skyrim project. It’s extremely ambitious, but they’re attempting to create the entirety of Tamriel as a series of Skyrim mods.

Now I really hope that they manage to include old glitches/exploits and Easter eggs. You reminded me of Morrowind and the soul trap glitch and the scrolls of icarian flight, and my girlfriend now has been educated on both topics 🤣
