Nintendo would potentially use an abstraction layer similar to what proton does for backwards compatibility with Switch games if they switched hardware architecture, not as a way to make third party games work.

Steam Deck uses that layer to translate instructions from Windows to Linux, not to make games run that otherwise would not in the system specs

Back on the important question

Is Daisy wa-peach?

Is Peach a ruler under a monarchy or theocracy.

Under Theocracy is she the god?

Is it Rosalina?

If Goofy is a dog is Pluto his son?

I think the Switch and the Steam Deck are both cool and good, and video games are wonderful. :shobon:

I like how thin svelte the Switch feels after I’ve been playing the Deck for a while, and how for a while there the air coming out of the Deck’s fan smelled like an office supply store.

They need to hurry up and make a dang Flip-Grip for the OLED. Thanks for coming to my TED talk

Rosalina is queen of a race of hivemind myconid lifeforms. She seeds various planets with spores creating various planets full of drones, Toads, and localized group leaders, Princesses.

All princesses are formed from Toads using something similar to the super crown, essentially her form of Royal Jelly that makes a bee into a queen. The super crown works temporarily but the process can be permanent. Peachette actually is one of the largest threats to Princess Peach that has ever existed, whether she's aware of this or not. Daisy is also a 'queen' in this sense but in an area far enough away from Peach that there is no power struggle.

There exists other competing myconid races such as the shroobs. Rosalina form of life propagation is generally more effective as it presents individual drones and planetary leaders with the illusion of autonomy, their contribution to the hive mind is in the background and they are not aware of it.

Other intergalactic powers are aware of and have attempted to harness this kind of power. For example Tatanga was able to successfully hybridize super crown materials to turn his own foot soldiers into Daisy clones, however this was temporary and he could not perfect the process before being defeated by Mario.

Rosalina essentially rules the galaxy unopposed, however she is fairly benevolent, and has not taken over or destroyed any sentient civilization to our knowledge. She has for example allowed many kingdoms to continue to exist on Mario's world with no aggression from the mushroom kingdom.

Bowser himself is aware of this all to some extent and his continued incursions into the mushroom kingdom as well as marriage attempts are his wanting to be a part of this powerful family.

Oh I thought there was some sweet news. Nope. Just the thread melting down again.

Very late to the party but I played vampire survivors on my steam deck, that game would be sweet on switch. Hades meets classic Castlevania aesthetic meets bullet hell.

I got hooked so hard I'm pretty sure I already unlocked on the main stages within one day. I figured I would kill time until fire emblem but man this is one sweet little game

PS5 has several games but exactly one game structure and exactly one progression mechanic, and all the games are made by people who would rather be making 'prestige' 'serious' cable television

I think it’s fair to say the steam deck has been a success for Valve. It’s also an entirely different demographic. No one who just wants to just pick up the controller and have a game work is going to go out and buy a steam deck.

Speaking for myself, I mainly got the thing so I could play my PC games without being chained to my desk. And right out of the box, it does that. :shrug: I am a complete techno yutz so I handed it over to a friend who likes to hack consoles so she could hack the thing wide open and add a bunch of poo poo to it, but even if I hadn't done that, it still would do what I bought it for right out of the box.

Pick it up, boot game, it works.

I'm disappointed no one is agreeing with my alien myconid theories.

Let me supplement this by saying I believe Mario and Luigi are clones of Professor E. Gadd which he infused with myconid DNA and delivered to their parents in the metro kingdom via S.T.O.R.K. This is why Gadd always calls Luigi sonny and invents things to help them, they are essentially his biological sons.

As Power Moons provide positive energy which can power a city, and things such as portals to other lands through paintings, the Dark Moon and King Boo's jewel, a purified form of the same element, can do the opposite. It channels negative energy and draws things out of paintings, including the ghosts.

The Mushroom Kingdom is an irradiated wasteland. Within it lies a city. Outside the boundary walls, the desert Sarasaland. A cursed earth. Inside the walls, a cursed city, stretching from Yoshi's Island to The Valley of Bowser. An unbroken Rainbow Road. 800 million Toads living in the ruin of the old world and the mega structures of the new one. Mega P-blocks. Mega Moonview Highways. Mega Donk City One. Convulsing. Choking. Breaking under its own weight. Citizens in fear of the streets. The hammer. The Koopa. Only one thing fighting for order in the chaos: the men and women of Peach's Castle. Juries. Executioners. Marios.

I really don't see them following up the Switch. Frankly I expect something radically different and them keeping Switch as the new handheld series with updated joy-cons or something.
