The issue was never “snitching to Nintendo,” but rather informing a larger portion of the general public that they could download a program and play TOTK on their computer before it was even available for sale, further increasing the risk that Nintendo would go after it for damages.

Pretty sure the lawyers and internet scrubbers Nintendo pays millions for look at a lot more than mainstream (or even sub-mainstream) news sites to cover this shit. There’s a lot of things they know about that they don’t take action against for a variety of reasons, from bad optics to not knowing they’ll easily win.…

I’d heard he was a bit of an asshole but this is a huge bummer. I think he is one of the most talented composers in my lifetime, and the fact that he chooses to live in a way that embraces an ethic of fear and hatred breaks my heart.

The attention drawn to Yuzu being able to run these games at launch better than the Switch could was likely a big factor in this, yes. Tropic Haze accepting money (or requiring it if you wanted day one access to the newest builds) was a big factor too.

Except Nintendo’s lawyers probably do more than read Kotaku

Well that fucking sucks. Anywho, back to pirating Nintendo games.

so this guy was successful in getting a former employer to pay him unpaid royalties and now he’s outing himself as a supporter of a criminal organization headed by a guy who has a long history of not paying the people that do work for him

Odd that Nintendo went after Yuzu but not Ryujinx. Maybe because Yuzu put its latest builds behind Patreon paywalls?

You mean aside from the white nationalism and the “anti-woke” cultural wars? Yeah he’s a shitty dude. 

Well, I guess he’ll have a small fandom a fraction of the size of what he once enjoyed before he outed himself as a horrible human being, even if his music still slaps.

Yeah I’m sure the corporate real estate company who owns your buildings are seeing plenty of “tangible benefits” from you forcing people back in. And your middle managers whose only previous contributions were watching people actually work and whose value is being questioned, they get a lot of “tangible benefits” from…

For me it was also sneakers, Nike specifically. I wore Payless-branded ProWings until I could buy my own Nikes. Junior high is eternally brutal. 

It was jeans when I was a kid and then it moved into sneakers.  I know it was sportswear for a while.  This is just the latest in the status symbol cycle. 

Advent Children Complete is a great movie and anything otherwise is slander.

Doja Cat is a big gamer, she streams sometimes I believe.

That fistfight at the end of MGS4 is one of the best sequences in all of gaming. From the score to the health bars changing to tell the history of the franchise that led us to this moment. Brilliant.

I 100% believe that a lot of celebrities play video games in their down time, you have to be like 75 or older to not have had video games be around in some form during your teens/young adult years. Plus it’s an easy hobby to pick up and put down quickly and I assume most celebrities just get their stuff carted around…

But it does. Bloodborne has always run poorly and it never got any sort of update or enchantment for the ps4 pro or the ps5. People are begging for the bare minimum but it becomes a remaster because that’s the only business case for Sony to actually provide an update. Also they are putting out more and more games on…

The 10th anniversary is coming up... Get on this, Bluepoint!

my suggestion: track down a refurbished steam deck. It’s a bit more $ but it does what the portal does and then some.
