All companies are tech companies, those that aren’t will be replaced by those that are. It’s been a common theme for a decade. I don’t really care that some venture capitalists lost their easy button to decide where to throw money for massive returns. Investing is supposed to require diligence.

Much better performance is a bit of an exaggeration. Switch games are running at similar fps and resolutions to 360 games.

It’s still a reasonable rule, with a few outliers. For the switch specifically, you could make a reasonable argument it was retro on launch, with cartridges and massively underpowered hardware.

I think using emulation as the benchmark for what makes a console retro can be a useful rule of thumb. By that metric I don’t think the 360 is retro yet as emulation isn’t quite mainstream or functional for the majority of titles. It’s probably getting close though.

It works great for emulation. Emudeck will install pretty much everything you need to get started, you can configure it more if you want or do everything manually as well, but it works well enough for me. There’s a few systems you need bios files for, Google can help you find them pretty easily.

I use emulation station (es-de) to launch roms from gaming mode on the deck. It has some cool features to add metadata to your list of games so you can have box art and things in the menus. It also works to keep roms separated from other games in gaming mode.

The only systems that don’t work well are the more modern ones. Xbox, 360, PS3 are pretty rough or have spotty game support. Switch works fairly well, but it’s more complicated to get working but still possible with some googling.

You’ll want to get a few things to make everything easier to work with. A Bluetooth mouse/keyboard or a hub to connect wired ones is helpful in desktop mode to do the set up and configuration work. A hub is also useful to connect a flash drive to transfer time to the deck. You’ll want an external sd card to hold everything, 256gb is probably the smallest you want, but it depends on how many and which systems you want roms for, everything pre 6th gen is pretty small.

If it can be emulated on a potato it’s retro. If it’s it’s old but not trivial to emulate then it’s classic.

Yellow is pretty bad honestly, it’s just the novelty of being a bit more like the anime. The pokemon you can catch and what’s available for early gyms are both poor.

I’d lean in favor of Gen 2 being better, but it’s definitely a tough call whether the original or the first refinement is better.

Having a magical standard fairy waive a wand isn’t going to fix scripts, or stop them from breaking.

If something is common enough to be a standard it’s a standard.

The water level isn’t so bad compared to the things after it.

A generation of people used a comedian for news, and now they are mad it’s a different comedian.

Facebook is only useful for the ancillary stuff. The main page and status updates have been monetized and engagement hacked to death.

Regular reminder that rules against politics are just rules against questioning the status quo.

It’s a little scammy to call it 2.2 and require new cables for functionality. That should be a 3.0 thing.

Either BS tolerance or over optimism.

This confirms my suspicion that this was was the end result of a lot of office politics within the university. He apparently missed the “stop publicly criticizing us” memo, and everything after that was just the university forcing him out. It also confirms the common story that a HR is for the company whether is sexual harassment or ethics violations.

I’ve generally heard the opposite. You can immigrate to France, get citizenship, and be as French as possible, but you will never be French.

Me either, it sounds like it was a gambling site that encouraged large deposits and offered some sort of benefits for doing so. This seems extremely unethical, and should probably have been illegal based on gambling or banking rules.

Three felonies a day is 15 years old and only more true than ever.
