I've bought Crucial RAM for decades, and quite a few Crucial SSDs over the past fifteen years. A shame to see it go.

@tumocs, that was the point in the article where my eyebrows shot up. I'm curious whether that will lead to broader ARM support with Steam.

This looks as if it could be a sequel to Alphabear [External Link]. I actually checked to see if it is the same developer. Alphabear is a big hit in the family, it works well for kids and adults equally. I'll watch this.

I love the design style of these. I'm not going to put down money for one (I really need fewer computers, not more), but I hope it turns out well. If you are able, please review one when they're available.

I want to play this, and never upgrade away from the tuk-tuk.

This looks like "Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker," with added musical numbers. I hope it turns out as good as that description might suggest.

I am possibly even more excited for this than I am for Homeworld 3.

Quoting: ssj17vegetaAs much as I want to, I'll believe it when I see it. Too many broken promises by greedy/lazy publishers.
The statement on the Kickstarter campaign page says that, if they hit the goal -- and it's far, far higher than any of their other stretch goals -- they'll open the source code 2 years after release. That seems feasible and practical.

Also, I believe they're both developer and publisher, although I might be wrong on that last part.

I'm getting scarier "Gravity Falls" vibes off of this. Looks interesting.

Nintendo goes after Switch emulator yuzu in new lawsuit

Quoting: CatKiller
Quoting: sonic2kkMy understanding was that a user should dump these from their Switch console, and that this is, at the very least, not illegal.
If someone has put a "technical measure" (no matter how flimsy) in place to prevent copying, the DMCA makes it a crime for Americans to circumvent that technical measure even if the making and using the copy would be otherwise legal - unless it's for one of the very short list of activities that are given a three-year exemption.
There are exceptions to the DMCA (for example, for "Computer Programs—Jailbreaking" and "Computer Programs—Video Game
Preservation," see https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/FR-2021-10-28/pdf/2021-23311.pdf) [External Link], but I'm not a lawyer and I wouldn't even want to begin teasing out whether these or any of the other current exceptions applies here.
