I don’t think they’re actually expecting anyone to upgrade annually. But there’s always someone due for an upgrade, however long it’s been for them. You can compare what percentage of users upgraded this year to previous years.

First try. I did make a few mistakes, but the 2600 made more.

It’s the beginner difficulty on very weak hardware. It’s designed to be easily beatable even if you don’t know much about chess.

I would expect anyone claiming to be intelligent to be able to beat an Atari 2600 set to its very lowest difficulty. This is a task on par with counting the number of Rs in the word ‘strawberry’, something the intelligent ChatGPT also famously cannot do.

Not necessarily that AI is marketed as a competitive board game player, but that AI is marketed as intelligence. This helps illustrate how clueless it really is.

Funny, because I still say the sequels aren’t as bad as the prequels.

Because they’re professionals in unrelated fields. Understanding AI was never part of their job description, this strange and confusing technology snuck up on everyone and most people don’t really know what’s going on, they were never ready for this.

One more reason why I don’t see Proton as a replacement for official native support. Things can and will break, and they’ll say it’s not their problem because they only support Windows.

Maybe it wasn’t a bad thing for Tom, but it very much was bad for the rest of us that Facebook took over.

Quite frankly, Nazi-adjacent is bad enough, especially when he’s made no effort to own up to the problems he’s caused. It seems like he very deliberately tries to skirt the line of plausible deniability.

I feel like a lot of times when devs say that, they never end up doing it in the end. Anything short of an explicit yes ends up being a no.

Even if/when Switch 2 emulation is possible, there’s not a chance in hell it could run on Deck hardware.

Both systems have pros and cons. This article isn’t bashing on the Steam Deck at all, just making the case for what the Switch 2 has going for it.

They say up front that this article is a response to the frankly obnoxious amount of “my gaming platform can beat up your gaming platform” circlejerking that has been going around - which you’re kinda perpetuating.

The Deck does not “obliterate” the Switch 2, and a headline like that makes you part of the problem.

They can’t renege on deals they’ve already signed with retailers.

JP Switches will only play Japanese-language games. So for non-Japanese-speaking consumers, that will be a problem.

They’ve never promised that, because that would be an absurd promise to make. This is no different from Valve dropping support for older versions of Windows, which they have also done.

Fighting games
Arcade/versus puzzle games (but the genre as a whole is dead on every platform, not just Linux)
JRPGs
Rhythm games

I’ve sadly found myself lamenting the fact that a lot of my favorite genres are tragically underrepresented on Linux. I still gotta keep my Switch, and buy a Switch 2, for some of those games.

Sounds like that is what they’re doing
