China, the biggest market for a lot of movies, can just show them in theaters without paying the funds to Hollywood and people could probably pirate them at home freely. I think? That or Tesla and iPhone and shit.

Streaming pirated movies via Plex and a Prime day sale Firestick onto a 42" plasma TV with a soundbar, both of which I got for free and thriving.

That Zigzagoon one was the Mario Kart demo or pre-order bonus disc on GameCube I think?

Ah, OK, thanks for explaining. Yeah that doesn't sound so bad. I'm so fucking annoyed repairing my gaming electronics and electronics in general so any design that limits me having to take stuff apart to clean it, replace capacitors, desolder CMOS batteries, replace parts, etc. is what I want in life.

The King Of Kong documentary definitely makes him seem like he cheated in DK using footage taped on an emulator, so I'm assuming at least some of the later accusations are true. It's also true that he is actually good at these games at a near-top level because he's done either real highscores or at least ones close to them in front of live audiences. But he likely cheats on top of that to maintain some of his records out of pettiness and shit.

The bigger OLED model for Switch 1 at 7" has a PPI of 200, which is higher than most TVs and gaming monitors. The Steam Deck only has an 800p-tall screen. The lack of clarity people saw on Switch is mostly likely the game not hitting the screen's native resolution in the first place. The 120hz kicks ass, but a 1080p screen is a total waste on Switch2.

I will never own one so I guess so, although maybe theirs are built better or aren't soldered to the mobo (probably are).

Begging the mods to ban you for posting this.

Also I swapped out my Switch joysticks with hall effect ones which wasn't that hard but having to do that at all is fucking stupid.

Billy Mitchell@ BillyPacman 27 Feb 2020
I try to stay apolitical on social media,

But the last dem debate was an absolute disaster. I’m gonna join the race and win by just yelling over everyone from beginning to end at every debate. It’s not like the moderators will stop me.

 

 

“Well, the Joy-Con 2’s controllers have been designed from the ground up,” said Nate Bihldorff, senior vice president of product development and publishing. “They’re not Hall Effect sticks, but they feel really good.”

To the 3-5 pain piggies somehow lurking this site still: Do. not. buy.

 

Got home from work early today and could hear playful giggles from the living room. As I neared I could more clearly make out her saying stuff like "oh yeah, I like that," "it looks so big," and also kept saying Mario over and over (mispronounced). Walked into the livingroom and she hastily closed the laptop resting on her thighs. Her breath heavy and face covered with shame.

I asked her what she was just watching and she said nothing. Said she was justst looking up Light Switches online, was thinking about preordering 2 of them for the bedroom maybe.

I forced open the laptop and the video immediately started playing. I closed it. I was so disgusted. She said she was going to boycott it in solidarity with me. But here she was hyping herself up with this E-rated smut.

I don't know if I will ever trust her again. Especially stings because I've been boycotting Konami with/for her because her brother was killed by a poorly designed DDR dance mat.

 

Gunna' start linking to the latest translated GCCX episodes here maybe. Watched this the other day when it was released on Nyaa. Was a fun episode since it's such a bizarre game in general and for the show. I like the art style and the story, although the gameplay looks fucking awful to me. Also got frustrated watching Arino struggle with the puzzles. And the older lady store owner was funny.
