Also to check if your controller has received update, see the update log on 8bitdos support page.

They are releasing updated firmwares as they get ready.

This is so stupid and pointless…

“Thing not made to solve spesific task fails against thing made for it…”

This is like saying that a really old hand pushed lawn mower is better then a SUV at cutting grass…

That one looks way to big though…

I mean, your non-upgraded coins being worthless should be a pretty solid motivator.

Yes sure, fair point. I’m just pointing out that it’s all fiction.

All these “look at the thing the ai wrote” articles are utter garbage, and only appeal to people who do not understand how generative ai works.

There is no way to know if you actually got the ai to break its restrictions and output something “behind the scenes” or it’s just generating the reply that is most likely what you are after with your prompt.

Especially when more and more articles like this comes out gets fed back into the nonsense machines and teaches then what kind of replies is most commonly reported to be acosiated with such prompts…

In this case it’s even more obvious that a lot of the basis of its statements are based on various articles and discussions about it’s statements. (That where also most likely based on news articles about various enteties labeling Musk as a spreader of misinformation…)

I would agree with you if the same companies challenging copyright (protecting the intellectual and creative work of “normies”) are not also aggressively welding copyright against the same people they are stealing from.

With the amount of coprorate power tightly integrated with the governmental bodies in the US (and now with Doge dismantling oversight) I fear that whatever comes out of this is humans own nothing, corporations own everything. Death of free independent thought and creativity.

Everything you do, say and create is instantly marketable, sellable by the major corporations and you get nothing in return.

The world needs something a lot more drastic then a copyright reform at this point.

Yes switch2 definitely is the trigger for what ever evaluation internally at Nintendo causing this.

My take on this is that gold points was a method to drive digital purchases over physical media.

Nintendo gets all the revenue and don’t have to share with retailers, also digital is a lot cheaper then physical media to produce and distribute.

Now in 2025 digital numbers are so high that they no longer feel the incentive is worth it’s cost.

Also I would personally reserve the term “anti-consumer” for other more sinister things then removing a free perk or bonus… Nintendo have lots of practices that fall under this term, I don’t feel this is one.

Especially since they are giving quite a lot of room for you to spend whatever gold points you have on your account. Anti consumer would be outright refusing to cash in the point right away.

It’s fascinating. If you have to spend huge amounts money and effort on monitoring and scewing public opinion… Perhaps it is time for some fucking introspection…(I know the biggest bastards in this system are incapable of that… But still…)

I mean, its frustrating as heck how all this is going down.

But releasing something that can be preserved and saved in archives all over the world is better then all records and documents just disappearing.

This is also due to the size of traffic these days.

Originaly (if we say, take early html as a starting point) it was mostly text, then later a few images.

These days a simple webpage needs large amounts of code and data just to load. So packets having to get to you in a roundabout way doesn’t just make the page take a little longer to load, it will most likely break the page.

But the infrastructure and ways of communication is really hard to take down and except for the few nations that have complete control over their own network, it is nearly impossible to break down communication completely. You would just need to rely on simpler data structures.

As others have stated fewer isp’s and core infrastructure providers do make the global network a bit more vulnerable today. And sites and services that lots of people consider “the internet” can be (at least for a while) taken down/offline.

I was actually prepared for the Forbes article to be the type of article it criticizes. I’d say the title is under selling the article, and I bet the downvotes are making the same assumption I was.

I also think the title of article is intentionally made to target the people that actually needs to read the Forbes being critical of yet a nother idiotic attempt by other media outlets to villify gaming.

I think the main reason is that StarCraft sprites were based on 3d models so either they can be made higher definition by working from the original assets or they simply upscale better.

Wc1 and 2 mainly uses hand drawn pixel art sprites, and it looks like they have gone with the “crude upscale + retouch” approach. Makes them look like the super scale filters lots of people used on emulators back in the day.

Honestly I think original art and a solid crt filter is the way to go with old Pixel classics. But i know this is a divisive position.

Virtual environments are really not viable for music production. Latency and other inconsistensies makes it a no-go.

High level Music production requires very low audio and input latency in addition to consistent and 100% accurate sound reproduction.

A virtual environment is a wildcard here that I at least would not bother trying to make work. (Not saying it can’t be done, just saying it would potentially be a big headache and extremely conditioned on spesific hardware, drivers and configuration settings.)

I mean. This is probably just to cover their own asses. Since they are more likely to be held accountable or something that can be downloaded through their platform then a random mod of the internet.

A few of us still remembers option 3) Regulation And also 4) Properly working anti-trust laws.

Important to look as good as possible on the end of the year report…

Or its compatible with joycons but you cannot connect them to the sides (new cons or constantly connected controls?)

The hybrid device route was so successful I doubt they will abandon it.
