It’s fine Vanillaware, we’ll keep pirating and emulating your games and play them anyway.

Doing the work, brother. Thank you.

The only thing I can think of is that they were refocusing their games division around the PS4 to reclaim their space in the home console area after the disaster that the PS3 was initially taking advantage of the initial failure of the Xbox One.

PS Vita and their owners were just a collateral Sony was absolutely willing to sacrifice.

Just feel like I should at least add two more things here:

1. Storing information do their customers as plaintext data, then getting hacked and losing all that information (infamous PSN hack);

2. Releasing a portable console that cost between 250 and 300€, promising support for it then 2 years in, give up on it, never officially tell customers, but have one of your higher execs tell the press said console is a great “accessory” for the PS4.

This is why I don’t personally buy Sony hardware.

And remember, at any moment can delete any content you paid for and it’ll be gone forever. These two things (the one you mentioned and mine) are why I always say: “Fuck Bungie”.

Yup, it sucks they haven’t implemented it yet. I’d switch in a heartbeat

That’s as a client, not a host. What I need is hosting :p Thanks tho

I want to switch to Linux and I would love to game on it daily, but just like so many people, software incompatibility is holding me onto Windows.

In my case, it’s Parsec that I need, because I game a lot with friends who live in other countries. And unfortunately, Steam’s remote play together feature is very broken on Linux (I remember even filing bug reports about it when I was daily driving Linux two-ish years ago.

While I’m absolutely not vocal about it as you are, I’d say almost 100% of what you feel is shared by myself too. I even bought two pockets (one for me and one for someone else) and we’ve been amazingly disappointed at the progress of updates on it. Yes they created the OpenFPGA thing, but that was obviously to not get left behind by new emerging platforms like the MisterFPGA and (to a less extent) the Steam Deck.

And will all things on the Internet, they developed a fan base that is mostly pretty defensive about them because they believe if Analogue died tomorrow, all of a sudden this type of project would stop existing (I feel anyhow).

I started looking differently at Analogue after mGBA’s developer endrift told their story about their experience with them (worth a read)

Part of me is very interest in adding this to my retro setup.

The other part of me knows that I bought the Analogue Pocket and the updates and communication from Analogue are really bad (despite all the device can do) which honestly is a no-no when you pay as much as you do for their stuff

It’s been down a lot for me lately. I basically only use it as a nextcloud pointer for large file uploads since cloudflare free has a 100MB limit and the Nextcloud desktop app lacks chunk-uploads. Which are ironically only present in the iOS client.

I believe I read Microsoft was working on something similar but it was definitely for mobile games. So I think that’s the idea. Not 100% sure tho

Is this year’s Tensor an actual in-house chip or just another rebranded shitty Exynos?

Hats off to Samsung tho, kneecapping the competition 😂

As a Portuguese, I’m quite proud of this tho I think we can still do better (or at least find a way to not get price gauged).

I was in a week-long vacation in the island of Madeira recently and was shocked by how many solar and wind farms they had, no to mention the energy generated by the sea around it. It was astonishing and at least restored my faith in my countrymen, just a bit.

I feel like the key word here is resignation. Platinum has changed from its early days and so has the quality of its output (Babylon’s Fall; Astral Chain, which I loved everything about but the gameplay). It is possible that because of the capital injection/investment by Tencent, Kamiya doesn’t have the same creative freedom/pull to make the games he wants anymore.

Unless he speaks up we will never know, and I doubt he will. Can’t wait to see what’s next for him tho.

I would honestly rather have FES than Portable, but considering they are starting from scratch there is absolutely no reason they couldn’t have gotten the FES content, shove in the FemMC option and do it.

…unless the endgame is DLC, of course.

I find this fascinating, in a non-ironic way. Thank you very much OP!

Oh wow its finally out. I wonder how this performs!

Great news that it supports Mac and Linux out of the box.

Absolutely! And because this is Gen 1 of AMD’s chip let design architecture, whatever isn’t the high end is more of a last gen equivalent (as in near identical performance) over even an incremental upgrade.

I wonder how much longer this can go on for.

Every time AMD seems like it can hit its stride next generation (looking at last gen) they somehow make some weird, unexpected decision that kneecaps their next one (this gen).

The fact this barely keeps up with last gen is honestly disappointing. The only real upgrades this gen are at the high end of the stack which is prohibitively expensive. I guess I’ll be sticking to my 3060ti for at least another gen.
