misk@sopuli.xyzOPto RetroGaming@lemmy.world•The History of 120 Star's Early Era | Summoning SaltEnglish3·5 days agoAdded channel name to the title which I usually do, but forgot to in this case. People who’ll be interested will probably know if they want to see it since Summoning Salt is a household brand but for others it might be a bit too niche and that’s fine too.
Wondering if we’ll see X68000 core one day, I’m very interested in that Japanese Amiga.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Switch 2 Edition games will be complete on the card without a download, Nintendo confirmsEnglish2·7 days agoI was using Cyberpunk as an example of the scale of ports that can be expected. Some publishers will try to cut costs for sure.

misk@sopuli.xyzto Fedibridge@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Digg invites got sent out, it costs $5 to get in.English1·7 days agoForums with admission fee make a sense to people discussing there. If you’re just observing then of course there’s no reason to pay but you need to wonder what was the reason you loved browsing that site.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Indiana Jones and the Great Circle™ Update 4English2·7 days agoI had so much fun with this game I will replay it on a harder difficulty one day probably. Nice seeing all the improvements made in the meantime.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Do I play Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on Switch 2 or should I wait for Switch 3?English23·7 days agoThat’s fine, avoiding things you dislike is very healthy. I question the actual dislike with the number of people pirating Nintendo stuff though. Not liking business decisions of a luxury toy maker doesn’t really give anyone right to just take it without asking.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Sony and Bandai Namco abolish employee bonuses in favor of raising average salariesEnglish8·7 days agoSee other comments here. Long term this is what employees prefer. I work in a company that does a bit of universal bonus and doesn’t skimp on salary increases and that’s much better than me getting 20% yearly salary as an arbitrary bonus because I can’t depend on it to be there the next year.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Do I play Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on Switch 2 or should I wait for Switch 3?English21·7 days agoSomeone giving something away for free doesn’t mean other have to. Different companies can think what’s best for them independently. They don’t owe us anything because we live in capitalism.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Technology@beehaw.org•Bubble Trouble - An AI bubble threatens Silicon Valley, and all of us.18·7 days agoThe biggest lesson from The Big Short movie is that you can be right at predicting a bubble for years but politicians and financieers can stall until they exit the market and everyone else has to deal with the aftermath.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Sony and Bandai Namco abolish employee bonuses in favor of raising average salariesEnglish27·7 days agoI work for a company that does profit sharing which is paid out equally to all regular employees, definitely beats circus that happened in places that did arbitrary bonuses. Best place I worked at even though I was a beneficiary of those arbitrary bonuses. You can plan if you know what your profit sharing is based on and people like financial stability.

misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Indiana Jones and the Great Circle™ Update 4English3·7 days agoPS5 gamers are in for a treat. This game was released in already polished state but they’re only making it nicer and nicer.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Do I play Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on Switch 2 or should I wait for Switch 3?English12·8 days agoI think you missed the point of the article. The Switch 2 is getting exclusive versions of older games that you have to buy a second time, at full price, on new hardware.
So this is same as buying Crysis and then having to pay for remaster on PC. And a new PC to run it.
Really? So the PS5 can play Crash Bandicoot? Because my PC can still play the copy of Half-Life that I bought in 2006.
I won’t be defending PS5, situation there is dire, you could purchase Crash on PS3 in 2006 but it’s stuck there, hence I play on Xbox. I can play some games from original Xbox, loads from 360 (and I hope more since MS bought Activision) and everything from XbOne.
Crysis was released 20 years ago. TOTK was released 2 years ago.
This is not the point since author wonders if he should wait with replaying even more, until Switch 3.
This whole thing is about something else entirely, I don’t know why we’re arguing over this but I’m bored at a hospital so I can go on :D
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Do I play Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on Switch 2 or should I wait for Switch 3?English15·8 days agoThere is backwards compatibility on all consoles at the moment, and it’s likely to become a standard moving on. I can play Crysis from X360 or remaster from XOne on my Series X.
My point with that 8800GT is that you need new hardware for the remaster anyway so it’s pretty much like consoles.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPto Games@sh.itjust.works•Switch 2 Edition games will be complete on the card without a download, Nintendo confirmsEnglish21·8 days agoNintendo is pretty good at keeping their game sizes low historically so I wouldn’t worry about them specifically. I expect some AAA game ports from modern systems to require additional downloads however, mostly because those game carts have very high read speeds and will get prohibitively expensive fast for very large games like Cyberpunk.
misk@sopuli.xyzOPMto From Europe or about Europe@sopuli.xyz•French audit office says keeping pension system unchanged is impossible1·8 days agoOne could make an argument that productivity gains over the last couple of decades could support pensions in countries with declining populations. Right now those productivity gains seem to be eaten by someone with those working not seeing adequately proportional benefits.
I myself am not that much of a fan of trying to keep retirement age super low, and would rather look into 4 day work week, maybe past some age?
THE WORLD NEEDS TO KNOW THAT NINTENDO IS WORSE THAN IF POL POT AND MING THE MERCILESS STARTED A KISS TRIBUTE BAND WITH POL POT PLAYING THE SAXOPHONE.
