The panthers used to get stop lights put in in weeks that localities had been refusing calls from for years. You want to do stuff like this, get organized. And not dancing in frog suits organized, militant, community focused organized with educational programs and childcare for your community.

That’s Chris Rock, you’re thinking of the dude from Mr Robot

I don’t know. That’s what it is and fuck if I know.

Yeah, this isn’t anything new. Literally centuries old analysis here. I guess it’s nice they updated it for the contemporary society, though.

My half life 2 was a bunch of discs, and then once you installed it you had to wait forever for the files to decrypt. Steam has really gotten a lot better since then.

When I built a pc with a 20gb HDD, one of the first things I did was the full install of Baldur’s Gate so I could play without disc swapping.

That’s strange, I have a friend with no internet and he used his ps4 for half a decade before ever connecting it to the network.

Idk I played Doom RPG on my flip phone in high school and that game was pretty awesome. I also had Splinter Cell 3 on it, that was pretty miserable to play, but it was cool seeing full 3d on a phone.

Yeah, that’s very true. Precedents don’t really hold up anymore in this current era.

They’ve been unable to shut down any emulator that doesn’t need to circumvent copy protection, what makes you think they’d have better luck with FPGAs?

They’ve released multiple fpga devices for Nintendo platforms and not suffered one lawsuit. They’re pretty careful.

I doubt it was under $200k. Paying 3 devs for 7 years is likely $75-100k each per year, or around $700k on just one salary, which they paid with their sales from HK. Then they had to pay the composer, localizers, bug testers, etc etc. it’s definitely still low budget, but not as much as the first one.

Styrofoam is a good thickener, depending on your fuel source.

Some games, some are on cart too. Switch 1 is actually probably the best because just about every game is fully playable unlike ps and Xbox which require patches often to run alright. Switch 2 I hear cyberpunk is fully on the cart, but I doubt many publishers are willing to pay for the bigger carts, so we’ll probably see a lot of third parties be just the key, which is ridiculous.

It’s great, I can lend my friend the games he doesn’t have, and I can do the same with his games. In this way, we can play many more games than we have the money for. Especially useful since we’re in the US, and internet infrastructure is still poor here, his only option is satellite, which takes far too long to download anything.

Same, and now this is the second mention of it I’ve seen on lemmy in two weeks. I got it for like $5 in a combo pack with a terrible mech game in the bargain bin in Walmart probably 20+ years ago. Never beat it, but the vibes are top notch and I replay it every few years. Still have the disks and all.

There’s these things called consoles, that let you put a disk in, they both contains the game and a license to play it. Though these days some games just sell an empty box with a code to download the game.

That’s called taxes. That’s literally what taxes are, destruction of currency. Go pay your taxes to the treasury in cash, they will literally shred it.

Hades IIs character is a girl, and it’s very fun.
