I’d be interested in a higher-end dual screen handheld if/when prices ever go back to normal. But the sacrifices they have to make to hit a budget price point just seems like it’s not worth it over a modded DS/3DS. Original hardware is still the way to go to play those platforms since they’re so easily moddable anyway, and for other platforms you would be better off buying any other handheld.

Even just the fact that it uses a capacitive touchscreen is enough to make it a worse experience for the DS games this is meant for. DS games were built around stylus use, and capacitive styluses kinda just… suck. I’m guessing resistive touchscreens just aren’t readily available for manufacturing anymore, another sacrifice for cost, but it’s another reason to prefer original hardware then.

I think the only real reason to consider one is if you just can’t get original hardware, since supply is limited.

If Steam ever shuts down, an old Reddit post had info about a customer experience message chain where a Valve representive said they had contingency plans if that ever happens.

I’ve heard this rumor repeated many times, but I’ve never seen a real source. I doubt it’s something Valve could actually promise.

Well they had an API, but…

That’s Father Strength from Magical Drop 3, which is covered towards the end of the video.

The second CPU is the GBA CPU, but at twice the clockspeed (which can then downclock for GBA games). You’re double-counting it and making it sound like the system had three.

The 3DS is the real funny one, adding its own new CPU alongside both the DS and GBA CPUs. So that’s actually three.

I’ve had my Galaxy S9+ for roughly eight years now. The battery doesn’t hold much charge, and the screen has this known bug where it stays completely black unless I do this funny workaround by activating Always On Display first and only then turning the screen on.

But everything on the market now comes with some catch, I really don’t want to give up that SD slot. And I’m unemployed and prices are fucked. So I’ll ride this thing out until it fully dies - which feels like it may happen any day now, honestly…

I really don’t trust BlueSky. I feel like they call themselves federated as a marketing gimmick to convince people they’re better than every other corporate social network, but they’ve deliberately set it up so that 99.9% of everything is going through their central server anyway. And it frustrates me that a lot of people have bought into that lie. Fediverse has been here delivering on everything BlueSky promised to be and did so long before BlueSky even existed, and yet no one cares because BlueSky had the venture capital to push a bigger marketing campaign.

Unfortunately, people jumping ship from BlueSky still aren’t coming over here. So I don’t know what to make of this news really, I know it doesn’t mean what I wish it would mean.

Trying to reach into the middle for the stick doesn’t sound super ergonomic.

These are just Game Key Cards. Kinda misses the point of physical media.

The practical difference is that the code is there for whoever wants to use it.

So? It’s not like upstream should have to accept everything every fork does.

What do you mean “never contributed back”? All of these projects give their source code back, as the GPL requires.

I got my degree in CS a decade ago, but wasn’t able to get my foot in the door finding any entry level position in the field. Had to give up and work a shitty unrelated job elsewhere, but after letting it drain my my soul for too long I’ve spent all year searching again. But no matter how many resumes I fire out into the void I have yet to get as far as even a single interview. It still feels like my degree isn’t worth the paper it’s printed on. The only thing recruiters want is 5 years of experience in some technology that came out 2 years ago, and I can’t get experience because I don’t have experience.

Wikipedia lists five games in the series. NES and SNES are the third and fourth. Nowhere are they described as ports, they are listed separately.

It’s a sequel featuring a mix of old and new characters, but it’s still a sequel. That’s like saying Street Fighter IV isn’t a sequel because it has SF2’s roster in it.

Mike Tyson’s Punch-Out!! isn’t a port, it’s a sequel.

On a casual level, I prefer Capcom vs. SNK 2 EO over the arcade version. I totally get why the competitive community stuck with the arcade, but at least casually I’d rather not deal with roll canceling.

Is there a reason you can’t just patch it yourself?

What Switch 1 cart is download-only? The closest thing I know of are some compilations like Final Fantasy X/X-2, which does have X on the cart but then gives you a download code for X-2. And even that is labeled on the box.

Game Key Cards don’t exist on Switch 1, those are all full cartridges.
