Tetris Company isn’t japanese

lol, well to each their own. Certainly I have friends I am close enough that we are comfortable enough they wouldn’t care one way or another. But inviting other people you know not as well for dinner is a different thing alltogether. That’s not even getting into older and extended family.

Zero is a really low figure. Just sayin.

Basically because its not the norm. By asking people to take their shoes off when they are a guest I am asking a guest to do something they did not expect or anticipate. Like I said, many people have embarrassment about their socks and feel vulnerable about having shoes off. Making a guest feel vulnerable or…

This is the correct take.

Oh absolutely. My parents refuse to take off their shoes indoors even in the middle of winter tracking snow all over the house. In my house I take off my shoes but if people visit I do not ask anyone to take of their shoes as it is seen as an imposition to do so. People have real feelings of embarrassment about…

Right there with you.

Nvidia’s new upscaling uses AI to upscale and is trained per-game. So it should superior to a tv’s upscaling.

We don’t know the answer to this yet. Nvidia’s upscaling could be done on an output signal theoretically.

The wii had broad third party support. Do you mean specifically large aaa games that are cross-platform on sony/microsoft?

Look. Here’s the reality. All the art people make has no inherent monetary value. It’s better for art and people in general if copyright and all this infrastructure to try and put value on it so people can make money in the marketplace was instead removed and we just went to a univeral income model. That way the value…

Exactly. All it does is remove more of the false reality people have suckered themselves into believing is why things are the way they are. That monet was never cost a million dollars because it had a million dollars more beauty in it than another artist’s paintings of a garden. It cost a million dollars because a…

And what a about gold mining? Digging rocks out of the ground to store them in metal safes? The carbon footprint of that never seems to come up even though it represents twice the carbon consumption and requires actually ripping apart the earth to get it and actual real estate people could live in. Whereas bitcoin can…

Exactly! honestly sometimes I think they should just take away the brightness control and all TVs should have “vivid” mode removed by law. So many people out here watching tv with primary colors blasted too 100% saturation and no blacks at all.

First of all PC controllers weren’t a blip everywhere. Particularly in Europe they are a PC centric market. So I think you are wrong about that. I was giving the example of microsoft because it was reflective and defining of that market.

Sony followed nintendo’s lead in japan and microsoft’s lead in the west/usa. They were not market-defining in either region with the launch of psx and simply followed the norm for the region.

Look at western controllers of that era, like those from microsoft. They put the A button to the left of the B button.

It’s not about the shape but the location. On japanese made controllers right is accept and left is cancel. The most common explanation is that they read right to left. You can see this in NES era controllers. Conversly in the west text is left to right and so accept is left most and cancel is to the right. E.g. early…

Exactly. Cause what we all really needed was ads on our remotes masquerading as a “feature”

Don’t be stupid.
