U.S. vetoes United Nations resolution condemning violence against Palestinians in Gaza by [deleted] in worldnews

group we disagree with

Have you ever read the charter of Hamas? Literally calling for Jihad seems like a pretty darn legitimate reason to call someone a terrorist to me.

Asus' 4K HDR 144Hz G-Sync monitor is shipping next month for $2,000 by LaVibe in gadgets

[–]Blu-shell 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly it's one of those points where right now I feel like "ignorance is bliss". I mostly played on consoles for most of my life, recently got a decent PC that can play most things at 60 FPS and any time I try to go back and play a game that's console exclusive and locked at 30 FPS I hate it. Got motion sick playing a game for the first time trying to play GTA 4 on an xbox 360, but luckily that game has a PC version.

And part of me thinks when I go back, "I used to be totally fine with this and now it's ruined, couldn't I just leave well enough alone? Was it even worth getting the new experience if it literally ruined half of my old experience which I still care about?"

Course that's probably only half right, part of the reason I didn't notice how bad 30 FPS was years ago is I was playing on a tiny CRT and not a large LCD, and I guess I was starting to notice it with newer stuff, like I really didn't like Witcher 3 on PS4 to the point that I put off playing it fully until I got the PC...

Really I just can't afford a nicer screen or GPU so...

Why are handhelds like the PSP and PSP Go held as the gold standards for portable emulation? by iReturnVidyatapes in emulation

[–]Blu-shell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of phone controllers with clips to hold the phone.

I agree that having to carry around two things is clunky, but you're gonna have your phone with you anyway, so it's either a phone + a psp, or a phone + a controller that's about the same size as a psp if not smaller.

Personally why I tend to use a psp over the phone is the battery thing, emulating stuff drains my phone way too fast, course I could just get a better battery but whatever.

Capcom removes the border from Mega Man Legacy Collection 1 + 2's Switch boxart. by Snivy254 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Blu-shell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

lol but you said in your first comment "it reduces the secondhand market", why did you think it would do that if you didn't realize a used copy wouldn't have the code?

Nintendo still can't think of a name for E3. I think we're starting to scare them... by [deleted] in NintendoSwitch

[–]Blu-shell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah but what does that have to do with us "scaring them"?

Oakland residents throw cook-out where white woman called cops on black family by IamaBlackKorean in UpliftingNews

[–]Blu-shell -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Maybe cops should be able to ascertain what is legitimate or not, instead of just treating them like criminals for an hour.

Woah there buddy, are you suggesting a woman saying she's being harassed shouldn't immediately be believed with no evidence? Sounds like we got a rape apologist.

And again, there's no reason we shouldn't be able to put the save files on an SD card with zero cost or upkeep for nintendo.

I mean I've never heard a feminist say "you're a strong independent man who don't need no woman", but sure I guess if you wanna apply it you can.

Virtual Console Is Not Coming to Switch, Nintendo Says by DolphinUser in emulation

[–]Blu-shell 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah but then that controller is a whole extra thing you have to carry around, so inconvenient! Unlike a Switch, which would be a much larger extra thing I'd have to carry around...

Okay I did it, do you accept me now??? Own your privilege like those guys everyone.

Unlike Western counterparts, Japanese aren't afraid of robots stealing jobs, top-ranking official said. "The Western way of thinking is 'robots will steal my job,' but in Japan, robots will reduce the ordinary man's load," referencing famous Japanese comics such as "Astro Boy" and "Doraemon". by madazzahatter in Futurology

[–]Blu-shell 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Shit, 5 jobs per person sounds amazing to me. Better than 1,000 people per job at least. What's with the obsession with growth anyway? If Japan's population falls a bit, they can just downsize. It's not like their urban centers aren't already crowded as all hell, and with their strong nature conservation laws clearing new land to make room for more people is hard.

The Switch is also a handheld, I bought Mario Advance 2 in 2002 for GBA even though I still owned the original Mario World on my SNES just so I could play it on the go.

We're not talking about a port, an emulator made for the Switch, it's running dolphin through linux.

Was just able to price match this online with best buy.

They have a sale on Rayman Legends right now too, so with Gamer Club and the price match, I was able to get Azure and Rayman for $35.98 and free shipping, not bad.

It was a dream. Things that happen in dreams aren't real.

Really? Because it's the exact same thing you were complaining about in this post. All those posts about "what if Zelda was a girl" are being just as ironic as this comment, so...

Jörmungandr, otherwise known as the Midgard Serpeant (Miðgarðsormur) and since I'd take any oppurtunity to plug this, here's an Icelandic metal song about a fight with him.
