I do have to say that encountering “level 60 basic bird/rodent/plant/etc non-evolved pokemon” was such a pet peeve for me in the Wild Area of Sword and Shield and Grand Underground of SD/BP

That seem hardware runs stuff like Automata, Astral Chains even stuff like DOOM with higher performance than this.

This game’s performance is likely purely because it was released under-optimized by devs not given enough time to work on it in the first place.

All of this, honestly.

And like... seeing a lot of what CAN run on Switch that’s more demanding than this and still ran much better.... simply because devs took the time to actually polish and optimize their work.

I wonder if the people calling for better hardware realize they’re literally asking to be taxed to hide an…

Honestly a lot of these “miracle ports”, even with some flaws, have led me to see the calls for “stronger” hardware with a bit of a side-eye.

Like, I’m at the stage where looking at a lot of past generations I feel like “stronger hardware” were less to allow better graphics/etc and more to hide the fact of pisspoor…

Honestly this more than anything make me suspect the biggest issue with Pokemon here is not “the switch need to be more powerful” but “that game needed more time to be properly optimized”.

Honestly I feel like a lot of the calls for stronger consoles ultimately only just hide the pisspoor working condition an industry…

Yeah honestly I’m tempted to chalk these performance to “not enough time to optimize” as opposed to “actually the Switch itself isn’t powerful enough”.

We often hear enough stories of “miracle port” of games that should be more demanding than the graphics style pushed by Pokemon, so I feel there’s definitely an…

I’m getting a vibe from some of the other people playing this however that it might not be directly the Switch being too weak, when analyzing the graphics style/etc of the game, but more directly a lack of optimization with the game itself noting sometimes even wildly different performance between docked and handheld…

The thing is that they cannot “create” their art “in the style of” without scraping plethoras of pictures to try and generate something that looks like it.

This is what artists furious are about. Without their work being online, those AI would never be able to create “art” in the first place because there wouldn’t have…

That’s been a thing hasn’t it?
Like I feel (j)RPGs these days either are coming from the AAA developers or from indies.

On the other hand I feel like I’m noticing a trend that if a jRPG isn’t Final Fantasy... being on most platform but lacking a presence on Switch often feels like it ends up hurting the game in the…

Yup!

From what I gathered if you’re thinking of games/etc the answer is simple but also with a twist: It won’t.

It won’t, but that’s because it likely never was their target. Quite the opposite as what they’re instead aiming at is more... corporate: “Virtual” offices.

Specifically, the clientele they’re aiming for are all…

The thing that make scary sense is when you hear that Zuckerberg is not trying to sell this to the people looking to enjoy the metaverse as a place to hang out.

He’s trying to sell this to the offices and midlevels managers mad that Work-from-home prevents them from snooping on and micromanaging every waking working…

I mean if you think about it the USA do remain the third most populous country in the world so that remains a pretty big potential market even if a product sells nowhere else. 

The composition of the preview image of that video has that big “guy gun down dude on couch, stare at screen asking who might have done this” meme energy for some reason

And honestly like one has to wonder which version people think of when it comes to the “original” sprites.

The SNES version?
The PS1 port?
Or the PSP remake?

Because side-by-side, I feel like the game really benefit almost from smoothing out the sprites because the SNES version nowdays look... it’s exactly the same…

Honestly I’m actually weirded by the outburst on this?
Like.... blurry filter aside it’s very much the original sprites.

FF6 original Mobile edition this isn’t. And like... the original pixels was mostly... fine. Not that it wasn’t quality work, it’s kind of up there imo but looking at comparison of the original SNES…

Afaik in Quebec it’s simply covered by public healthcare/health insurance or, if you work at a place with those, your employers. In Quebec the main things to not be “covered” tends to be “side” stuff like dentals and in those case they’re examples of why even Canada still has way to go in term of public healthcare…

Honestly I game a lot still, but I’ve definitely seen a noted shift in what I actually game such I can still understand where he’s coming from a bit.
I used to love cliche AAA stuff, first person shooters, high grade RTS, the big 4X strategy games and a lot of stuff that if not on the “hardcore” consoles would be at…

Oh, this guy definitely used to be marketing. Before being EA’s CEO I think he was something like head of marketing at Pepsico literally or something like that.

Millions votes, yes, which is why they’re also sending to the supreme court a case that could lead to state legislatures taking charge of everything electoral process within their state... including how federal elections are going to be run.

And a lot of states are run by republicans, so expect a LOT of gerrymandering…
