But Donald Duck knows about fighting against fascist assholes (unlike Trump who IS a fascist asshole), and he’ll put on the Spike Jones and ♪ heil *fart* right in DerSantis’ face. ♪

Fuck RetroArch and its shitstain Kiwi Farms-loving lead dev, TwinAphex. So much of the emulation community has been harmed by him and/or by RetroArch itself. One of the greatest emu devs ever, near, died by suicide because of KF harassment. Stenzek, the developer of DuckStation and new UI dev of PCSX2, almost left the…

Just let me type in the notation.

Can you smell what the Dogg is cooking?

Go Team Venture.

You’re seriously asking a console manufacturer to institute custom per-game remappings? There’s a difference between a reasonable request and denying reality, and you crossed the line between them long ago.

Ah. I see. It’s a matter of you not understanding the problem. Look at the Move controller. Now look at the PSVR2 Controller. See something missing on the PSVR2 controller? Perhaps multiple somethings?

Are you... suggesting that people should be required to buy additional controllers for BC support?

If the ESA wants E3 to return, the only possible way for it to be successful is to require its members to have a presence at E3 and to prohibit them from holding events competing with E3 in close proximity, whether in space (that is, in the Los Angeles, Orange, or Ventura counties of California) or time (the week of,…

Have you looked at the Move Controller recently? Tracking layer or not, you aren't making that backward compatible.

You know that some companies have actually taken perfectly reasonable and responsible measures to reduce the amount of gambling in their games over the years, right? Like, for example... Game Freak and Pokémon? Even regions that had Game Corner casinos lost them in more recent remakes. ORAS had their Game Corner close…

This is more an aside than anything... but honestly, just how many games has ABK been putting out on consoles over the last few years? I mean, we talk about how they’re this huge powerhouse publisher, but outside the occasional WoW expansion or CoD, they... they don’t actually do much anymore, do they?

Microsoft explicitly bans emulators from their store, without regard to the legality of the software. It’s still possible to get them in Retail mode on your Xbox, but it’s a weird semi-hacky method and definitely against ToS. (If MS ever cracks down, the most that users are liable to suffer is the apps getting…

A mere remaster can’t salvage the game, but as is very very clear, the sole reason for that is the story. Not the gameplay, not the exploration.

Since when has a Japanese company made a smartphone actually worth buying?

LTT has been restored. It seems to be complete, but maybe some old stuff is still gone?

Well, the channel itself seems to be back (https://www.youtube.com/@LinusTechTips, if said channel was ever actually gone and not just the videos attached to it), but the only videos there are very very old.

I mean... it’s no more suspicious than Japan’s 99% conviction rate, or their obscenely low crime rates. Perfectly reasonable. /s

The racist shenanigans against Xbox in Japan started back when the original Xbox was being developed, when the company that made the PCBs for both Xbox and PlayStation controllers refused to provide the same level of tech for Xbox.

I assume in the future, accounts with write access to the LTT account will have to be part of the Google Advanced Protection program. Every one of them will be required to have a FIDO physical security key (or preferably two, one held on-site at LMG), including Linus and Yvonne. Chances are they’ll go with either the…
