I don’t think they can go after Dolphin itself just it being on a major store. Thanks Bleem

they're alleging that dolphin has their secret wii decryption keys baked in, which would be legitimate (in the legal sense) grounds to block it under the DMCA

retroarch is already on steam and nintendo can't do poo poo about that because it doesn't include any of their keys or code

One time i prank called a bear buildin workshop and said I wanted my mamaws ashes put in a teddy from where she loved them things so well... The woman on the phone did not skip a beat. She just said, "Brang her on down here. We've did it before."
drat what the gently caress, that Dungeons and Dragons movie has NO RIGHT to be as good and fun as it was.

It looked rough for a while back there, but I guess this means the monster-catching genre is finally good again

Through part 1 of Shovel Knight: The King Knight Version, feels good to be running and jumping again (and shoulder tackling for the first time).

the Gollum game is such an interesting failure

there's an animal-breeding gameplay segment. herding your companion is some Brutal Legend genre switch. hell there's new mechanics every 20 minutes but none of them are kept for long. an evil jailer man teaches gollum falconry. the falcon is not a falcon and it has turkey sounds but it's not a turkey either

enchanting. best bad game of the decade so far

Their Twitter apology had the usual "we'll work to fix the game" stuff in it, but like what are they going to patch? The performance, while abysmal, is kind of the least of the game's problems. There's just too many fundamental flaws in the design itself.

Carly shook her glass, willing the ice to melt. "You still haven't told me what the mission is."

She leaned forward. "We are going to assassinate the bad men of Hollywood."


Gollum looks pretty bad but not even in a fun-bad way like Wanted: Dead. It's just sad.

Like at the end of the day even if you get all the bugs out of it, is the world really clamouring for a "Gollum raises birds, and does chores for a rando you never met" game?

i believe the game awards trailer was the first inkling back in 2021, but it ate a long delay about 6? months ago

seems like a pretty clear case of a small studio biting off way more than they could chew

all the detective work you really need is to look up daedalic entertainment's wiki page and see that their catalogue is almost top-to-bottom visual novels and point-and-click adventure games

this isn't to imply that these are lesser genres or anything, mind you, but the technical complexity of a 3D action-parkour platformer on UE4 is several orders of magnitude above what the team had worked with before, so trying to make the transition to that and fulfill the expectations of an IP as bejeweled as LotR is just a catastrophic miscalculation by management
