So San Francisco just invented the webcam? (Btw, Google Maps already shows how busy establishments are.)

As a non-native speaker, I really have a lot of problems using a plural word as singular. When I read it, I always have to read twice to check whether one or more people are meant. I rather read and use “she/he” even with the additional typing.

The ONLY problem I have had with this, is the controller on the system itself defaults as controller 1, so SOME games it takes a little fiddling to use different controllers. But I have done this and it works great.

I don’t know if you’re talking about in-game fiddling or Steam Input but to clarify for others here: Steam allows to reorder the controllers, so the thing I usually do at the beginning of game party is to move the Deck’s integrated inputs to the last place.

Never heard of them before this.

Are all the bugs and mistranslations there?

Probably. The SNES CPU is only a slightly advanced version of the NES CPU. That’s why simple NES to SNES cartridge adapters exist.

Why hasn’t Nintendo done anything yet? It’s weird.

Nintendo are weird. Sometimes they don’t do anything for years and then suddenly lawsuit over 10 gazillion in damages. When doing anything unlicensed with Nintendo properties, the rules of thumb are: Keep it low key, don’t monetize it. Both common sense rules Infidelity didn’t care to follow.

Pretty sure from Game Boy up to 3DS.

Not from microsoft but rather from nintendo. Same reason portal 64 got axed

Inb4 cease and desist

Minecraft clones exist. Calling a clone a “Minecraft port” and using that trademark is not the smartest idea, though.

“Remaking Minecraft on the Nintendo GameCube. My aim is to replicate enough of Minecraft’s mechanics”

A remake is not a port.

Edit:

It’s no longer even going to be a remake. I get the impression he called it a Minecraft port to generate buzz. I hope he wasn’t misleading people on purpose.

which features are you looking for?

The uploads gallery and the ability to delete uploaded images is an urgent must-have feature in order for Lemmy World to comply with its own privacy policy.

I’m not sure what a “music jukebox” is, and how it’s different from a music player, but I would recommend to try mpd.

A jukebox lets several people add a song to the playlist and yes, mpd is a solution for that where every event attendant could install a client on their phone.

What I was trying to say was that I’m happy to be free of Microsoft’s ability to just sunset an operating system version that I liked and replace it

I figure you weren’t a Gnome user during the 2.x to 3.x transition times.

Nobara is at least under my control in a significant way.

Yes but also Nobara isn’t an LTS distribution. Its versions get sunset way sooner than any major release of Windows.

I’m so happy to be able to end my reliance on Microsoft.

Microsoft is a frequent contributor to core Linux technologies these days. Lennart Poettering to Microsoft has probably been the most prominent move but there are others that work on Azure Linux and WSL who also upstream their work.

Now Ubuntu is Ubuntu without the fuss

Ubuntu is a trojan horse for Snap.

If you have cutting edge hardware, this might be an issue.

No, thanks to Valve’s efforts for Steam Deck all RDNA2 hardware directly benefits for upstreamed improvements.

Older packages, but not too old, generally provide better stability.

And worse compatibility. Old packages are a no go for upstream supported hardware like Intel’s and AMD’s.

EGS is the Fortnite launcher. Fortnite’s player base is insanely huge. Those people have EGS installed, they just choose not to buy anything else on that platform, except maybe V Bucks.

PS: The installed base of the Microsoft Store and Xbox apps are even bigger because Microsoft is allowed to bundle those with Windows.

Steam does not have a monopoly by any actual definition of monopoly, though. A) Mobile gaming makes up the most of all video gaming revenue. B) On PC the most revenue is made by games that aren’t even on Steam in the first place (Minecraft, Fortnite, Roblox). Steam’s 2023 revenue has been estimated to be around 8.6bn USD out of 45bn USD of PC gaming revenue. That’s barely a 5th of the market power. By no account this can be actually considered to be a monopoly.
