Quoting: nwildnerInteresting stuff the M.2 Hat, and maybe pair it with other NVMe - https://www.raspberrypi.com/products/m2-hat-plus/ [External Link]

Not a fan of having said hat placed on the cpu side, right at the ideal place to hinder cooling.

There's alternative m.2 hats that fit on the other side of the pi (should one call those boots?).

Even more interesting to me: Argon have released a new case with m.2 support for the pi5 that doesn't get in the way of their cooling solution of turning the top of the case into a cpu heatsink: https://argon40.com/products/argon-one-v3-m-2-nvme-case [External Link]

Quoting: emphyPerish the thought of allowing players to find their own trusted communities (i.e. friends) to play the game without anti-cheat with.

I know right. Why cant we have the ability to create our own servers free of DRM.

You don't know? Old-style hosting by players would give them too much power to avoid the in-game peddling of extra manure.

What would be the point of trying to sell that fancy sparkly super-gun with silly victory dance if players were able to mod in much better stuff themselves?

Does the atari 50 collection come with a link for just the roms at any of the shops?

Not interested in all the hoopla that comes with it and would prefer to bring my own emulator. An 11.7GB download (as stated on gog) seems a bit excessive for my use case.

Looks to me that if the code were released under a creative commons license, it'd be CC BY-NC-SA [External Link].

So, I'd be pretty comfortable with calling it OSS BY-NC-SA, despite it not adhering to one of the "official" open source licenses.

I know calling it a rip-off might seem harsh, but — just look at it. I do mean it in the nicest possible way as well. What you get is an overly silly wizarding sandbox game to run around in and cause some ridiculousness either alone or with friends.

"Parody" is the word you're looking for.

Quoting: berarmaWhile most comments here imply that Nintendo used extortion, I think it's just an economical agreement. That's how it looks. Nintendo must have offered him a good payment to stop developing the emulator and shutting down everything under his control. Why pay an army of lawyers if you can pay just the main dev?

As if the potential legal threat isn't going to factor largely into anyone's thinking.

The "that's a nice life you've got there, it'd be a shame if anything were to happen to it" will always be implied when dealing with nintendo about such things.

Quoting: monyarmWhy do these emulator devs keep bending over backwards for Nintendo? Emulation and Reverse Engineering have both been proven to be legal on multiple ocassions. Literally all Nintendo can do is huff and puff.

Extortion.

Nintendo can sue anyone out of existence, regardless of whether they are right or not.

You can also bookmark and buy games using our affiliate/partner links (and they really do help!):

Bonus tip: in firefox, manage bookmarks, one can set a keyword (I use gog) so that one gets taken to the bookmarked page when typing said keyword in the address bar.

Cultural pirates.

Nintendo, that is.

Gentle reminder that if one values one's future nostalgia, it is recommended to not let nintendo hold it hostage.

On a completely unrelated side note: I've been taking a looksie at the ayaneo air variants. Does anyone know of any other similarly switch-sized deck-alikes?
