Re: Feature: Nintendo Switch Ports We'd Love To See In 2023

I hate all the hype ports get. In 99% of cases ports are entirely insignificant.

They were a bigger deal on the Wii U when many developers would skip them, but there's no need to be excited about them five years into the Switch's success.
They're still nice to have, but they take up way too much attention. In an ideal world they would all be shadowdropped without any coverage on Directs and just receive a quick tweet notifying that it's out.

Re: Nintendo's Switch Exclusive Metroid Dread Is Already Being Emulated On PC

@SeantheDon29 From someone on Reddit: "The only way to legally emulate Switch titles it to install a custom firmware on a launch model Switch (precisely from March '17 to early summer '18) and use it to rip a cartridge on PC." Of course no one besides the first few emulators is actually going to go through the trouble of ripping a legally bought copy of Dread to play on PC. Everyone else is going to just download their files, which is piracy.

Re: Etika's Mural Becomes A PokéStop In Pokémon GO

This article isn't very well written. Etika's mural took months of planning, and it was made by a small group of commission artists and not merely a mass of fans. These people should get credit. Additionally, "Joyconboyz are the fans" is phrased really weird and this news is a lot more than "somewhat fitting" for Etika.
