People are buying it because they love Nintendo games like you said. It’s also because most people don’t know enough to emulate/are scared off by anti piracy laws.

Another reason is that people are impatient, if the price dropped I would be tempted to buy one, especially if they also announce a new 3d mario (odyssey is one of my favourite games of all time). I’d want to play it now and not wait for the switch 2 to be hacked.

A lot of people who know how to emulate also would rather buy original hardware because playing on it is just better (I’m the same, if the joycons didn’t drift, I probably wouldn’t emulate my switch 1 games on my deck)

Did iwata ever say they were a bad idea? I thought it was that they had no idea how to make them secure but easy to remove, not because iwata said it was stupid.

I think the reason the connectors are magnetic is because it is something nintendo’s designers always wanted to do. So once their engineers figured out how to do it (after the launch of the original switch) they designed the switch 2 around the magnetic connectors. I think it’s incredibly stupid when one of the most important things to do for a sequel to the switch is fixing the drift but it’s a reason at least I guess?

Here’s the video I watched about it: https://youtu.be/JDhj8s-i–s

The uk version would be 100 blank panels above the actual joke

Steven Paul Jobs (February 24, 1955 – October 5, 2011) was an American businessman, inventor, and investor best known for co-founding the technology company Apple Inc. Jobs was also the founder of NeXT and chairman and majority shareholder of Pixar. He was a pioneer of the personal computer revolution of the 1970s and 1980s, along with his early business partner and fellow Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak.

Not PTB or YDI. If I was a mod and saw that comment I would be torn between you being discriminatory and being unfamiliar with parts of English (it can be strange sometimes). I would have probably messaged you to clarify what you meant but the mod was being completely rational.

I got banned from the ai generated mushroom community for saying that ai art isn’t real art (I wasn’t in that community it was under a post criticising ai)

Kaizen - a puzzle game developed by some of the zachtronics team, it looks interesting but the demo was underwhelming.

Star birds - a logistics game made by the developers of Dorfromantik and published by Kurzgesagt. It reminded me of anno for some reason but they are quite different games. I liked it.

Word play - a rougelike deckbuilding (very original) word puzzle game by Mark Brown (from GMTK). Didn’t play it much but when I did I got hooked on it like a rougelike has never hooked me before.

Sintopia - I don’t really know how to describe this. It’s a bit like two point. I would just look at the steam page yourself. I thought it was ok but didn’t like that the main character in the tutorial was horny.

Grappling bagel - cool game. Lots of fun on the steam deck. The title tells you what the game is.

I was also interested in wildgate but didn’t have time to play it.

Wasn’t it valve who set the restrictions because of psn linking? Now that it’s gone they are being sold again

The exact same thing happened on the positive reviews. Lots of fans who think the new films are the worst thing to ever happen to the franchise getting mad at people who like the game because it’s based on the films and not the books

It can but I think it’s only client side (for their buggy overlay). Not something bots can access

Best way to run an instance for cheap is on your own hardware, but I would only do that if you are experienced with self hosting since it would require port forwarding (unsecure if done wrong)

I guess that’s true. Maybe it’s just that the new content is aimed at people with more time than me? Or that I just want more?

Is this made by fdev again? I know that elite dangerous isn’t the most profitable game but that game needs a lot more attention than a 3rd jurassic world game (although I played the first 2 games and I liked them)

That’s what happens when the executives don’t talk to the small amount of creative people they haven’t laid off yet…

Might not be what you are thinking of, but there is a minecraft mod called trickster like this

2 hours long? Time to sit in my watch later for a month!

How old is the switch? There will be someone you can sell it to who will be willing to try and fix it just for an easily moddable switch.

(Also needing to buy a switch this close to the switch 2 must be painful… all the savings that could have gone towards it…)

I’ve seen quite a few sites that require you to tick the box to not receive marketing, maybe it’s that

It’s probably also that the owner of legoland, merlin, have had a lot of bad accidents happen in their UK parks and don’t want anything else to happen.
