I think you're spot on.

Switch was such a big success; and game producers for the🦩 Switch have done such a great job of making games that run well on it, that a tech like myself might be like "Huh, look at those higher specs." Get excited about the possibilities, what games may come on it in the future and how existing games (especially ones that got the visu💦als scaled down a bit for the Switch) can be upgraded to look better on Switch 2, and new games with better visuals can come out on it as well.

Someone who just wants to play the games sees "Well, I have a Switch, there's very few Switch 2 exclusive games since several of the Switch 2 games will also run on the Switch." Many games are not using a photorealistic art style, I mean if you have a cartoon🍎 style then high res textures and lighting effects don't even fit in with the visual style let alone end up being important. I saw one of the Pokemon games and wondered "What the heck is going on with the ground, it's so blurry!" (honestly it does look heinous, it looks like it's using about a 320x200 texture then just scaling it up, extremely blurry and indistinct... but oth🌠er than the floor, you're usually not like 3 feet away from a wall or anything so it otherwise looked "OK"). But those playing and enjoying Pokemon don't give a care.

And, on my desktop with a GTX1650 I'm in the same boat -- the more graphically intensive or just plain bloated games, I turn the settings down to medium or low and enjoy the game instead of worrying about having inferior visuals (.... unless it totally screཧw up the lighting, then I may have to suck it up and turn up that one option.)

Yeah really, I guess that's not as bad as it could be, but it does look distinctly like🐭 one of the demos (from like 15 years ago) where they'd be like "Look! 3D rendered hair!" to show off bump mapping, tesselation, etc. that were new at the time.

I do find this a bit hilarious. But, you know, it's not unrealistic, people do fart now and then and more likely when they're squatting. As they say, if it seemsꦫ like it's happening too often I could see nerfing it a bit.

Hol♕d on yearly web pass? So it's subscription on web too?. Then maybe it's less surprise it's also subscription on Steam. I don't know, I've actually never heard of this game. To be hone♛st if a game is that sinple and in browser, I would probably not bother with a steam version (and apparently most others aren't either LOL.)

Why wou⭕ld they adjust their lifestyle? The Switch 2 is an upgrade to the Switch (which is already being unused) with a single exclusive gamꦺe. It's totally sensible to wait until there's more games, and possibly be able to get it at a lower price at that point.

I mean, the set conditions, show conditions, etc. the complaint is legitimate. But to me, it doesn't sound like "You got injured, here's $1,000 compensation". It sounds to me like he got $1,000 in cards to help tide things over while workers comp, legal settlement, etc, work their way through which after all will take a bit of time. I'm not some Mr B✤east fan, to be clear, it just seems like an awfully negative take ﷽on something that I think was done to be nice.

(If it comes out later that they were planning on the $1,000 in cards to be full compensation... well ob༒viously that's another matter entirely. I just don𝕴't think that's the case.)

When a couple my younger relatives were playing Pokemon on their switches, I noticed how bad that grass looked. And when they projected it up on their big screen it didn't look any better that's for sure LOL. I mean I guess it doesn't matter but sheesh you'd think they could have just softened up the textures a tad on stuff th✤at's out in the distance and made the ground right under the player look a tad better. 𒁏Ahh well, they didn't seem to care.

Strange. I mean, usually when some service starts pulling games, it's like it🉐 was expensive to continue licensing, or there was some publisher dispute, or whatever. Seems very unlikely for a 30+ year old (I assume, since it's for Super Famicom.🍸.) soccer game.

🔜I wonder which -- maybe there WAS some "real" reason they've pulled it? Or if they're just pulling something minor first to "test the waters" and see if there's an uproar over it? I dunno.. given NSO's like $1.66 a month and has lots of older games, hard to complain too much I guess. (It looks like this is the only game from this particu♐lar company, and there's comments this was added in 2019 so probably had a 5-6 year license that's running out.)

Very nice! I think this is a v🔴ery smart move of GOG to emphasize game preservation. People appreciate being able to have a game installer, no DRM, and this is an extra step over showing GOG's appreciation. And, honestly, it won't take a bunch of per-game customizati🍸ons, more a matter of applying techniques (dosemu or dosbox for DOS games, and probably wine-based solution or some replacement DLLs for older Windows games on newer Windows; and wine + possibly DLLs for Windows games on Linux of course.)

I will note (outside Windows) Wine has support back to Windows 3.1 at least if not older.. I haven't tested anything that old but played some WIndows 95-era ga♚mes and they worked fine. Tiger Woods '99, for example, apparently needed several fixes to even run by XP, and apparently even with the fixes the Tiger Tips (video clips) didn't work. In Wine, I had to install one or two packages with winetricks (DirectMusic I think? A couple addons that were basically out of Windows by Windows 2000 or so...), and that was it, even the videos worked.

Of course the one "fly in the ointment" -- Wine *runs* Windows apps, it's not an emulator, so if it's some old game that runs in like 320x200 you'll have this microscopic window or very small if it's 640x480 (if you're running HD resolution... both will be VERY VERY 𒊎small if you're running a 4K screen or whatever). If it requires 8-bit color, I have my serious doubts that Xorg or Wayland even support kicking some modern video card down 💖to 256 colors. In those cases, you typically use the same solution (DLL replacement usually) as you would in Windows to get a game to rescale etc, just with wine you won't have to worry about the other compatibility problems you might have otherwise.

To be fair, selling a low calorie (like 200 calorie) "lunch" for kids is daft IMHO. But I'll defend the mold issue... a package with real cheese, and a doughy thing (for the pizza one) as opposed to a hard cracker... and no preservatives. Cheese and dough without preservatives grows mold. If you order these and they show up moldy, that's a serious mold problem. If you find some on a shelf, and they've been there quite a while, well, eventually cheese goes moldy unless it's frozen, it being a problem or not really depends on how long thꦏey've been there.

That said, if they are going moldy on the shelf before they sell, maybe they will have to suck it up and throw some preservatives in there... after all, the big manufacturers who do throw in preservatives would be perfectly happy to leave them out and save that bit of cost, presumably their stuff doesn't last long enough on the shelf without them. Or manage how many they supply much more carefully so ꦆplaces don't have them stay on the shelf too long.

I mean, obviously they know how they are handling the models better 🐠than I do. Are these 3D tattoos or something? Otherwise, I would have just assumed a tattoo would be the prime example of just slapping a different texture on. *shrug*. Ahh well.

Agreed! I wouldn't go as far as saying toxic (necessarily)🦹.but, like, they hadn't seen each other for years, max is back for a few weeks, then are required by cannon to be together for ever? They certainly had stronꦇg feelings for each other but having a breakup doesn't seem unreasonable to me. I also agree with the original dev though, a hood reason to not have a sequel was so people could picture them how they want. It'd be nice but I can't see getting all worked up over it either.
