Nintendo made $10.8 billion in FY24 with mobile and IP income up 81.6%
  • Unfortunately, Nintendo mobile practices are nasty.

    I suspect Nintendo applied the japanese mobile scheme to global market, but its a mistake on the long run: Such practice for a company considered family-friendly can be bad, as it can trigger regulations.

  • Microsoft's $1M Vote of Confidence in Rust's Future
  • Am I the only one having some concerns about a technology which organisation is going too widely high profit company dependent?

  • Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Is Nintendo's Best-Selling Game Ever
  • I suspect the MK8D DLC pushes the sells along the years even further. Those uncertain about buying it cross the line because, hey, hype.

    I suspect Nintendo will do the same for their next MK game.

  • Nintendo blitzes GitHub with over 8,000 emulator-related DMCA takedowns
  • When you remove one emulator that makes money, it’s because of money. Yuzu code will not be lost, but keeping a healthy community after DMCA will be hard.

    But when you close 8,000 repositories, it’s a kick in the hardware preservation community. The simple fact it’s possible to do this is frightening.

  • Logitech being Logitech
  • Even ten years ago many of there hardware was garbage.

    Nintendo Switch System Update Ver. 18.0.0
  • When you bring your Switch on a boat, the whole Earth rocks…

  • The Switch Will NEVER be the Same: Nintendo Switch Dumper Review
  • Mmh… I suspect doing this is not legal in Europe as second hand have enforced laws.

    Other laws like this (I suspect second hand Steam game licence) have been voted to protect customers from such behavior (in the mindset that customer don’t have to pay for company for having bad protection system).

    We will see how Nintendo will react.

  • LACT 0.5.3 Released For Managing AMD Graphics Cards Under Linux
  • Is the culture of Rust/Cargo getting as bad as JS/NPM these days

    Thanks for saying it.

    When I see some rust projects, they looks like they where managed by JS devs (“1 need, 1 package”) that want to do compiled language… The amount of dependencies can be utterly insane.

    For me, it mostly means rust have a strong package system, not that rust have good devs.

    I’m doing Python at work and you have to use a many pypi package for financial reasons (yet, I restrict myself as much as possible), but seeing this mindset is scope specific open source project is crazy.

    All of this does not means all rust (or JS) devs are bad, its just a consequence of bringing code to the masses: Its a good thing in many way. Lets acknowledge this and not being impressed by badly engineered dependency choices.

  • Sega implies Super Mario Wonder was responsible for Sonic Superstars selling less than expected | VGC
  • I agree it was a too easy and too short game, mostly for entertaining new players, but everything on screen constantly makes me smile. We don’t have that many games with that much love.

  • Grounded - Announcement Trailer - Nintendo Switch
  • We finished it with a friend on pc. Surprised to see it coming on Switch. It's a crafted with love game, yet I can't say it's awesome. I think solo mode must be hard as you would need to disengage often during battle, something easier to do with friends.

  • Acclaimed N64-style spiritual successor to Banjo-Kazooie and Spyro finally gets the Nintendo Switch release it deserves
  • Interesting. Did they have some kind of filtering to looks like N64 output ? Or is it high rez like emulation ?

    I mean, I like the pixel look of the N64 display, with 3 points filtering and signal based anti aliasing.

    Those component are what you could call N64 look. Low poly + linear filtering is not N64 that much .

  • Nintendo says it will overcome challenges of generational transition with ‘unique propositions’ | VGC
  • Interesting. I think Mario Wonder was the best 2D Mario since Super Mario World. I didn’t like the physic on New Super Mario.

    I also think Nintendo has some trouble with they IP on the long run.

    Sega tends to not respecte its beloved licence that much.

  • Euro:

    • Lack of randomness.
    • Few direct confrontation.
    • Weak theme.

    • Strong theme.
    • Mechanics are rough and simple.

    Release InfiniTime 1.14 · InfiniTimeOrg/InfiniTime

    Here is a summary of the changes and addition of InfiniTime 1.14:

    • Reduced memory footprint in flash memory: the analog watch face draws the background at runtime instead of using a pre-defined background picture and we moved the font for the navigation app to the external memory.
    • Improved raise-to-wake algorithm and new lower-to-sleep functionality
    • New weather service and new setting to select °C/°F
    • The build system now allows to easily select which user applications and watch faces are built into the firmware
    • Replace the node.js tool that convert the images (lv_img_conv) by a custom re-implementation in Python
    • InfiniLink, the iOS companion app has a new maintainer!

    One Line Patch Doubles Mesa NVK Performance For Talos Principle... To 18 FPS - Phoronix
  • Yes, bad use of API shouldn’t be use as reference, but it also increases Valheim (which does not seems to be the best API us ever):

    I can confirm, this also brings Valheim from 45 to 70-80 FPS on my machine (4090M, 7945HX) at 1080p Ultra Settings.

    Commit here.

    They simply added this line op.max_unroll_iterations = 32;, related to NIR shader compilation. Passed to NIR here.

    (I stop here, lost track and interest in further investigation)

  • I know this is maybe not the place but I couldn't avoid to think those kind of projects are from another time.

    Big infrastructures that need constant energy, food and people flow to work does not seems aligned with what is coming.

    Dunno what others think about this...

  • Outer Wilds: Archaeologist Edition - Pre-order Trailer - Nintendo Switch

    This is the kind of game you can’t do twice as finding how to finish the game is basically the main point.

    (Always) Wait for the performance review, but if they are good, do yourself a favor, play it spoiler free.

    One of the best game experience ever. Would love to have more games like this.

    Charged the 6, totally uncharged 28, 22 days on.

    Since latest firmware update, Pinetime battery life is outstanding.

    I use it daily, mostly connected to GadgetBridge to get messages (my phone vibrations are not very strong. I also use it at night to walk in my house without turning lights on.

    Notice that Wake Up is not set at all, no wake up. This also keep your display off while walking/moving.

    Using pathlib in constant?

    Constant modules are modules that often contains variables that you want to use in many places without relying on hard coded values. Sometime you store paths (often relatives).

    Is it a good thing to use pathlib.Path() object is modules dedicated to constant?

    Or is there anything that you should know before choosing to do so?

    I would say the same question appears for using re.compile() in constants.

    Any advise?

    IGN Mortal Kombat 1 For Switch Review: 3/10
    www.ign.com Mortal Kombat 1 For Switch Review - IGN

    Mortal Kombat 1 proves to be too much for the Switch's dated hardware. The load times are egregious, there are numerous bugs plaguing both graphics and gameplay, making for a poor quality port of a great game that's all around aggravating to play.

    Mortal Kombat 1 For Switch Review - IGN

    It’s ugly and load times last around 40 seconds.

    EDIT: Le boss annonce qu’ils corrigeront les problèmes via update. J’y crois pas une seconde, mais ça été dit.

    Did the privacy concerns have been updated/planned for update?

    I just fall on this and didn't know you can't remove stuff from lemmy.

    I'm not touchy about privacy, but am I the only one to find this disturbing?

    EDIT: Thanks to @solidgrue, I realize ActivePub (the protocol under Lemmy) actually support content deletion. It's mostly to the instances to choose to honor it or not, which make sense.
