From my understanding, even though they both run Nvidia-designed ARM processors - there are enough differences between the two SOCs that a direct 1:1 translation is not possible for all titles, and those will need to go through an emulation layer.

Additionally, there are certain titles won’t be compatible due to hardware changes (Ring Fit Adventure for example, and probably all of the LABO stuff?).

Back buttons are getting more common, thankfully - but I’d personally still love to see a transition (back?) to six face buttons.

My callous disregard for the loss of life was the sarcastic bit. 😞

Their crime was daring to aid Palestinians, d’uh?

ETA: /s — because this is the internet and sometimes intentional sarcasm needs to be pointed out.

Also, TIL that Oasis makes Orange juice in Canada using oranges from Brazil, so enjoy 😂

Wow… them Gallagher brothers will really do anything other than release a new album, won’t they?!

First rule of tech disruption is to ignore patents/laws and get a big enough footprint to be able to fend off the eventual litigation. Given this is China, they can mandate implementing it on mainland devices for the initial wave, and roll out later revisions into adjacent regions over time once it’s taken a foothold.

Maybe it’s from huffing too much copium; but I think that Valve’s eventual Steam Deck successor will probably have mainstream console levels of appeal.

By that point in time, compatibility should be nigh-sorted (thanks to all the hard work currently happening), and users won’t need to interact with the Linux desktop mode at all. It would be completely transparent, and only enthusiasts and power-users would ever want interact with it.

The biggest thing going for the SteamOS platform is the immense library that it brings forward; no other console can compete with — even with full backwards compatibility (which even the Switch2 is struggling with).

Apple TV+ is currently the only streaming service I’m paying for (and only because it’s bundled in with my family’s Apple One subscription); but honestly their offerings are a tier above the slop on most other services.

Between Severance, The Silo, Ted Lasso, The Morning Show, Shrinking and a bunch of others that escape me right now — it somewhat reminds me of the “good ol’ days of early Netflix exclusives” in terms of breadth and quality.

So with that said, I’m also a sucker for future/dystopia media in particular (living my rewatch of Westworld at the moment, half-way through S4); so I’ll definitely be checking this out.

So this is what he chose to do, instead of attending the ceremony for dead soldiers in Lithuania?

Can’t believe someone actually downvoted you for being excited; I swear, heaven forbid you like something that others don’t.

I’m skeptical as to whether the open world aspect will add to (or detract from) the experience, but I’ll probably end up grabbing it few years down the line once my kid is old enough to appreciate it.

That’s absolutely

Great, now we’ll never find out what the deal was, with those tossed salads and scrambled eggs..

 

Not sure if anyone else remembers this cartoon from their childhoods; sometimes it feels like it may have all just been a bit of a fever dream given how unhinged the English dub was at times!

This trailer gave me big, warm nostalgic vibes, and it seems like it could look/play somewhat like Cuphead perhaps? I’m cautiously hyped.

What are other obtuse, forgotten media properties that you think are overdue for revival? I’ll start the ball rolling with Tekkaman/Technoman Blade
