Skarner :D

So is CTGP just dead nowadays?

The Wii U was the opposite of the PS5. It had nothing but great games but no one wanted it because "uhhh... the name"

Theres the whole like japanese perspective on media piracy argument going on, and the one thing i keep seeing is "but do you not realize that pirating harms the company?" and I dont think alot of them realize in the west we LOVE seeing companies get harmed, even ones we like

The Stop Killing Games movement has officially backed the proposed California bill focused on protecting players when online games are shut down. > Publishers must provide an offline mode or a way to keep the game playable after server shutdown. > If this is not possible, players should receive a full refund. > The goal is to protect digital ownership and game preservation. This proposal follows growing concerns over games becoming completely inaccessible once support ends, especially after shutdowns like The Crew. Most gamers think that if players pay for a game, it should remain playable or be fairly compensated.

Excuuuuse me!? Shit just got REAL for the Resident Evil 4 proof-of-concept tech demo that Esppiral and PH3NOM have been cooking up... This is running on a SEGA DREAMCAST!?! In the span of 2 days, we went from "Wow, that looks pretty good, kinda like the scaled back version of RE4 that got released for the iPhone 3GS back in 2009," to talking about the technical feasibility of gloss-mapping Leon's leather jacket to recreate the effect that was present in the Gamecube version but was cut from the Playstation 2 port. ...best prepare ourselves for the impending PS2 fanboy mass meltdown.🤣

QUICK CLAW IS SUCH AN INSANE ITEM I LOST 3 GAMES IN POKEMON CHAMPIONS TO RANDOM QUICK CLAWS THAT DIDNT MAKE SENSE?? HOW DO I PLAY AROUND THIS?!?!?

Video games went downhill the day that people got scared to play against the tryhards instead of being hyped to try and beat them

Since many are not exactly happy with Capcom's weird decision to include Enigma in the Steam release of RE1-2-3, I might include some means to replace their bloated DRM'd launcher and make it work on Steamdeck out of the box.

In the 90s, Hitachi came up with a bizarre way to conserve memory bandwidth. Their SuperH architecture, intended to compete with ARM, was a 32-bit architecture that used…16 bit instructions. The benefit was really high code density. If you can fit twice as many instructions into every cache line, the CPU pipeline stalls way, way less. This was *really* important for embedded devices, which were often extremely bandwidth constrained in the era. Sega famously used the processors for the Dreamcast, and ARM actually ended up licensing their patents for Thumb mode! I think perhaps the weirdest thing about SuperH was its concept of “upwards compatibility”. The ISA itself is a microcode-less design, all future instructions were trapped and emulated by older chipsets. It’d be slow…but you could run future code on very old chips! Very neat design, a massive success through the 90s and 2000s, that slowly faded.
