@Not_Soos actually everybody at Rare was burned out and leaving - the geniuses who made all that wonder for the N64 were leaving Rare - Microsoft bought the IP essentially, which is why they coughed up the abomination that is Perfect Dark Zero and then you never saw that spinning R again
I assumed there was some sort of famed conspiracy Disney paid advertisements because this game was discussed EVERYWHERE at great length and every media site used the carefully coordinated images that only showed Star Lord with his mask on so the hoi polloi didn’t say “but that isn’t chris pratt duhhhhh” felt like Kane & Lynch lmao
@HollowSpectre note that there were multiple people present AND he had “disagreements” with his partner on how to parent - maybe nobody else had a problem with the screen time except him
@RedBlueSpot I will say I’ve worked in software development for some time and there could be plenty of valid reasons why they don’t work that are essentially random errors - I had just got airpods for the first time and remembered something about Bluetooth on the prior update so I just googled it - long time Nintendolife reader so I just clicked it
The Virtual Console was never going to save us - I say this as someone who has purchased Nintendo games since SNES - but there needs to be a healthy ROM scene coexisting with new developments for purchase
@Spiders TBH the Wii VC was crazy overpriced IMO - I had like 30 Wii Games total (including VC) and I have 105 switch games and am looking forward to three from the recent direct!
I disliked the wii VC and people missing it is always weird to me
@WaveBoy I’m curious if you played Dusk - I didn’t have any issues with it (I loved it actually) but I know multiple people who felt motion sickness with N64 Graphics at 60 FPS
@BadPlayerOne love our current legal system for corporations “ok pinky swear that power won’t corrupt you and we’ll give it to you without the ability to punish you if you lied”
@Eddyson instead of having yearly releases and extended corporate tentacles FromSoftware has been working on EldenRing since 2017 and the company’s valuation will almost certainly increase after a successful launch of highly anticipated software that is both a new IP and a collaboration with a mega-celebrity (George RR Martin) so until the dust starts to clear on that around Q4 this year I don’t think the shareholders would approve a sale unless it’s a sparkling big one
@the_beaver next year will definitely be a behemoth but I have a hard time seeing the PS2 ever being dethroned - they sold it for years at $50 price point
@Edu23XWiiU yeah I have over 100 hours on MK11 and I laugh when people are like “b b b but the hair is roughly polygonal during cutscene transitions!!!”

@TryToBeHopeful I just assume watching 1 movie on a switch would 86 the battery
Re: Random: 22 Years Ago Today The Nintendo 64DD Had More Online Features Than Switch
@TryToBeHopeful it’s so weird that people don’t realize that Nintendo doesn’t want to make a multimedia machine.
Before somebody says “hulu and youtube!” yeah I know - and I bet if they were really popular more would have followed.
Crunchyroll surprised me.
