    ESG scores

    This might be a tough pill to swallow, but @The Catboy is right. If you genuinely think that these practices are damaging then the only sensible way to combat them is to stop buying the slop they generate. The problem with this approach is that the amount of money withheld would have to be...

    ESG scores

    Depends on how you look at things. ESG scores aren’t just a nice little metric that tells you your company’s non-discriminatory, they’re tied to big business and investment capital. They’re most definitely a perverse incentive which *can*, in a roundabout way, affect a creator’s vision...

    PS4 Power Hardware Mod

    Talk about an over complicated solution for a simple problem. All you *really* need is a relay. If the input has power, the output relay contacts will close - there’s your button press. You can either add it to the power outlet itself (240V) or use a small relay on the PS4’s 5V standby which is...

    Praefatio They say that the pen is mightier than the sword. In the world of Inkulinati, this phrase is taken literally. You play the role of an apprentice inkulinati, learning the art of drawing medieval illustrations. Your final exam is coming up - soon you willbecome a real master of Living...

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    You say that, but large swathes of the later PS4 library came with PS5 upgrades for free or for a small fee. Even without those the games simply play better on the 5. I fully suspect the PS5 to PS5 Pro transition will not be too dissimilar. I also disagree with the premise - if you’re going...

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    It’s completely unrealistic to expect any more than what is being offered, the Pro is already trading blows with last year’s unobtanium. People forget that the most popular GPU on Steam as of the moment of writing is the 3060, accounting for nearly 1/10th of users. We can drone about PC Master...

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    You say that, but as of January the console sold 48.93 million units, and we’re gearing up for Easter which is a big gift giving season around the world, so that number will jump by quite a lot. The supply was definitely terrible throughout the pandemic, but I think the long-lasting perception...

    Leak claims a PlayStation 5 Pro will launch later this year

    It’s weird to think about, but the thing released in 2020. The pandemic “ate” 3 years of everyone’s lives so our perception of time is a little skewed. In reality the PS5 is right around the half-way point of its life cycle.

    Capcom survey asks fans directly which Resident Evil remake they'd like to see next

    Dead Aim is the one I’m especially interested in. They could just bundle all three as Survivor Chrinicles or something since they’re quite arcade-y in nature anyway.

    Capcom survey asks fans directly which Resident Evil remake they'd like to see next

    The most obvious candidates would be Code Veronica and 5. Personally I’d like to see some of the lesser known and lesser played titles like the Survivor series, perhaps remade to be played with a gun (PSVR 2?) or in third-person perspective. I always wanted to try them out, but I didn’t have a...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    It’s definitely *not* cut and dry and I’m not presenting it as such, it’s how I would argue it in court if I was pressed to do so. Yuzu made the correct decision to settle out of court because it’s not an easy thing to explain in a courtroom where you’re surrounded by suits who, realistically...

    ESG scores

    Environmental, Social and Governance score. What the OP is probably referring to is the latest Sweet Baby Inc. controversy. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Environmental,_social,_and_corporate_governance To cut a long story short, companies are generally incentivised to have those matters under...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    It is perfectly legal and permissible to reverse engineer a system in order to demonstrate how it works. You can publish those findings, that is not illegal. Knowledge isn’t illegal, acts are illegal. 17 U.S. Code § 1201 specifies this very clearly - “to ‘circumvent a technological measure’...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    This is incorrect, and has been discussed to hell and back. Not only does the emulator *not* do that, you could very easily argue that it falls under the interoperability exemption if it did. The emulator itself is completely incapable of bypassing any copy protection whatsoever - it requires a...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    It is not so long as you are not actively monetising trade secrets. You have to reverse engineer it yourself.

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    From what I understand, the Wii was Nintendo’s last ditch effort after taking the N64 and the Gamecube on the chin, but it was successful enough to withstand the Wii U bombing horribly. It really doesn’t take *that* much. Besides, nobody wants the company to go bankrupt, rather to course...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    Sony and Microsoft already smell blood in the water and are doing just that. Nintendo has a different strategy, they believe they can both build the mill and provide the water that spins it. That’s a good thing and bodes well for the future of Nintendo’s hardware, they’re committed to creating...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    Nintendo *does* see it that way because they’re actively selling emulated games, and have done so for many years. They want to sell you the same porridge over, and over, and over again, and they want you to say “thank you” for giving you the opportunity. “I already own this game on my GBA, give...

    Yuzu emulator shutting down, paying Nintendo 2.4 million in lawsuit settlement

    The video game industry operates on extremely narrow margins and every sale counts. Media has been devalued to almost nothing - if we were to adjust the cost of video games for inflation properly we’d be paying hundreds of dollars a pop. You might think that you choosing to take your money...
