They call my gender ℂ because it's complex and it has both real and imaginary components.

Figura is nice because has the extra coding stuff and it's entirely clientside, but still syncs with other players that have it, so you can use it even on servers that don't have it. On the flipside, it means you can't do the scaling and view origin changes that CPM and Pekhui can quite as easily

Though also to be fair, this is an average, so outliers probably exist

Is this for Figura or CPM? Or a secret third thing?

Ultimately, looking at the exhibits page, it looks like they do have at least some places to play some of the original games with what looks to be at least almost original hardware, but then what did miyamoto mean? are they removing that? shoving it into a corner? replacing it with videos?

Lucas "The Drgn" Broadwing @lucasthedrgn.bsky.social · 1d

That's a fair point, but also this post mentions the hardware without mentioning the article saying it was initially designed to showcase hardware and then they decided it was more important to just show IPs instead, which is an incredibly cynical way of describing your own creations

yeah i mean, famously the wii virtual console version of SMB had headers in the rom file that were specifically introduced by people ripping and distributing roms to communicate to the emulator what chips to emulate, Nintendo has been doing it for A While Now

"oh but what if they don't have the source code for these old games and consoles anymore" well they should do what they've always done and copy it without credit from the dedicated end users that have risked legal repercussions to preserve art.

Lucas "The Drgn" Broadwing @lucasthedrgn.bsky.social · 1d

you must understand, Nintendo is a small indie game company that simply doesn't have the resources to put into maintaining a handful of old game consoles that they produced and still hold the rights to in order to preserve the play experience for the younger generations. Watch video of mario instead

My nephew and I can watch videos of Mario at home, I'd like to be able to take him to a place where I can show him how we held the N64 controller and explain how SM64 was one of the first true 3D games. It's not that people only remember IPs, it's that showing off old games doesn't sell new ones.

I'm gonna be real: this actually doesn't make me less mad about it. If anyone can legally, legitimately maintain something resembling a dedicated space where you can play their games on original hardware, it's Nintendo, who own the rights to all of it. But nope, too hard, videos instead.

Hey y'all. Val is having a hard time finding a job and doordashing is only getting us so far. On top of that, the housing situation we moved into is not working out. We need help!!

I've had to extend our GoFundMe for two reasons: We are unexpectedly having to move AGAIN, and potential job opportunities are giving me the runaround, so I'm already short on bills. We just cannot catch a break. Please help us!

It's kinda cool that Gary Larson is doing new cartoons because he picked up a digital tablet, taught himself how to use it, and it made him love drawing again.
