  • famicom: very competitive at the time, advanced in some areas
  • snes: very competitive, more powerful in many regards
  • n64: widely accepted as the most powerful of that generation
  • gamecube: more powerful than ps2
  • wii: this one is the least powerful you have that.
  • wiiu: widely accepted as more powerful than x360/ps3
  • switch: powerful hardware for a handheld of the time.
  • rumoured switch successor: rumored to basically be a portable ps4.

Your theory does not hold water. And it is full of typos. You need a better mobile keyboard.

Kinda wonder what kind of effect a more powerful nintendo device will have on the whole ecosystem. Nintendo devices are automatically probably going to run smoother watt for watt just because developers will likely prioritize optimisation for that device, so it’s all a bit of an uphill battle for the steam deck there

I’m so so tired of fucking awful headlines, and the whole “don’t editorialize headlines” thing just doesn’t work anymore.

“It will be ubiquitous,” Yoshida said. “Wherever there is computing, users will be able to play their favorite games seamlessly. Why PlayStation will remain our core product [is] we will expand our gaming experiences to PC, mobile, and cloud.”

is the actual quote which is functionally what the situation is today. also this guy is in power for less than a year so you can barely listen to him.

I mean it’s not really that niche for 8bitdo, it’s kind of what they do.

Let’s not describe this as “paying valve three bucks” because that’s not accurate and is misleading.

It’s paying valve 30% of your revenue.

Fwiw, the eggs wouldn’t have to be more expensive, the eggs cost what the market will pay.

The only change is that the people profiting from your poor food conditions will profit slightly less.

This is a common lie they tell everyone.

What’s the efficiency in taking 30% of almost all game sales on a platform? I know we all love valve, but the efficiency here is having a store that everyone has to use if they want to make sales at all.

I’ve been around open source for 20+ years and can tell you right now that it don’t work that way. An issue tracker and a wiki is not a community.

Most older open source communities were built on irl connections and irc, with some mailing lists thrown in. Hell, we even funded conferences just around the software, not to sell a product but just because it’s good for everyone to be talking to each other.

The issue tracker tracks the status of things, the wiki is generally user focused. It’s not where development happens or thinks get built.
