twas merely a coincidence that our patreon income tripled when TOTK leaked

It was also an accident that we just happened to update our emulator constantly and entirely around TotK performance in the time prior to its official launch.

We got slapped with a $2.4m fine, but look, we're not even going to mention it. Because what really matters is that some bad people are playing games on unauthorised hardware.

Well well, mister fancy-pants, I hope you're wearing your matching sweater today, or you'll be cut down like the ugly tree you are.
Is there a way to tell Steam to only send me email notifications about one of my wishlisted games being on sale if that game isn't in Early Access? I basically only add EA games to my wishlist as a way to say "hey tell me when this thing is fully released", and I don't give a poo poo that a game is 25% off if it's only half-done.

It's easy to filter the wishlist to only show fully-released games, but I don't know how to do the same thing for email notifications.

yuzu getting murdered in the space of 48 hours is why all the Palworld stuff was particularly insane. If Nintendo wants you gone they aren't held hostage to the court of public opinion they send an order to a kill team and you are dead shortly thereafter.

whats baffling is that it took nintendo this long to strike, switch emulators have been mature for years but they waited until nearly the end of the switches life to do anything

oh well i got to play TOTK at 60fps before it all blew up

The only thing I can read into this specific move is that they are definitely making Switch 2 run on most or all of the same backend again, and they're trying to jam the door shut again so they don't have an immediate Dolphin-goes-from-Gamecube-to-Wii emulator right behind them as it launches, because that's easier than doing things like "designing security"

they've actually locked down the switch OS pretty well, it was just all undermined by nvidia loving up on the hardware side and making an unfixable backdoor around all of the software security

if they manage to lock down the hardware as well as sony and microsoft do next time then it's going to be a struggle to crack

The OLED switch was released in order to get people to buy systems with the recovery mode patched out. As far as I know, the OLED switch can't be hacked without a mod chip. I think they got nvidia to spin up a better version of the tegra chip for switch 2, so I assume they specifically told them not to have a recovery mode accessible on it.

yeah OLEDs, lites, the "red box" refresh and later versions of the original "grey box" model can't be hacked without a modchip

the last firmware to be jailbreakable without relying on hardware flaws is the ancient 4.1.0

I MADE A PROMISE
I'LL DO ANYTHING
I've been playing Pacific Drive the past couple of days, and I'm weirdly hooked.

You end up getting stuck in a Stalker-like exclusion zone, but in the Pacific North West, and everything is "unstable" in that areas will dissolve and reform themselves after a time. You end up getting in contact with some people and they lead you to one of the few stable areas - a gas and repair station.

You choose a zone to explore and this computer console will plot a stable route there. When you enter, you gather supplies, disassemble cars and electronics for components. While you do gather supplies, and there are food items, you're not babysitting a hunger, thirst, or stamina meter - just your health. While exploring, you'll encounter anomalies littered around the zone, and as you gather "Stable Energy", a power source used to return home, the anomalies get more frequent and evolve as you're increasing the instability.

You return home by activating certain warp points when you have enough power. Opening one of these up destabilizes the zone and so you have to get to it before a Battle Royal-esque circle of death closes in on you.

It's a really neat little game, and a unique take on run-based scavenging game.

Find a good combination of +chip, +mult and multiply-mult jokers and abuse the gently caress out of them.

I've only got two wins under my belt but IME multiply-mult abilities are how you really get the big numbers, especially if you can get several of them activating at once. Just make sure to rearrange your cards and jokers so that the multiply-mult abilities go off as late as possible for maximum effect.

EDIT because this should probably be pointed out: yes, you can rearrange your jokers and the cards in your hand however you like, just drag them into the order you want.

maybe for one second you can pause; try to step into another person's perspective, and understand that a watermelon is cursing me



You want at least one source of +chips, a source of +mult and a source of times-mult as a general rule of making numbers go up. If you build your deck for a specific type of hand then you can get a lot of chip and mult just by increasing its level, but you'd still want a times-mult effect to cap them off.
Also, your jokers activate from left to right, so make sure you add before you multiply.

In Cyberpunk 2077, do I gain Fast Travel destinations just by having been near them, or do I need to walk up and activate each one?

In order to test this I would have to spend a few minutes running to a location and then running back and I figure this might be quicker, and less annoying.
