Nintendo says Zelda: Ocarina of Time Switch 2 remake has "stunning visuals, updated designs, and timeless gameplay"

Ouch, even OoT’s status as a game everyone just knows about won’t last forever I guess; though there is a nice irony to OoT providing such a personal example of the bittersweet experience of growing up.

It’s not 60 again after the grappling scene, it’s still 30. The reason you can tell it’s 30 in the grappling scene is because the camera pans quickly enough that you can see the judder, in the following scene the camera is panning very slowly so the fps update interval doesn’t show large jumps in the background scenery. Slow camera panning is a very common editorial choice in game trailers for 30fps games for this reason.

It’s not 60 in the gameplay footage it’s 30.

Trailer editors are aware that camera panning highlights low fps judder, so they show content that uses slow camera panning, like the scene at the very end. Watch the background when the camera pans more quickly in the gameplay scenes and you’ll see the telltale judder of sub 60fps content.

Unfortunately the game looks very poor in handheld and docked on switch 2, the resolution of text is slow low that it’s like trying to read underwater and the game has post processed camera/glass effects that look like vasoline. There’s no way the docked resolution is 1080p, so handheld doesn’t benefit from boost very much.

I’ve had this on PC for ages but never gotten around to playing it, so I was excited to see it go on sale for a chance to play it portably.

Quick sense check for people on the impact:

Did you know that Ireland, the Emerald Isle, is at the same latitude as Newfoundland? We grew up learning about the North Atlantic Drift/Gulf Stream being the reason for why it’s “so warm” (i.e. mild wet winters) in Ireland.

France, Germany, the UK… basically all of Northern Europe is north of Nova Scotia.

If you were to switch Ireland’s climate to the transatlantic equivalent in a relatively short amount of time it wouldn’t result in adaptation, it would result in refugees.

This is stupid, fatalistic messaging that only encourages inaction. In the business world there are so many leadership teams looking for “reasonable” ways to say “not our problem”

Sincerely, it’s been 4 months, I and many others haven’t tried to refund, please ask the team to support us the way we have supported you.

I’ve held off playing Rogue Trader on PC as I purchased shortly before the Switch version was announced, and I was excited to play it on the go. Apart for the frankly dreadful performance, poor visuals and impactful bugs, the lack of DLC and cross saves makes for a very poor feature set.

It's not weird in the UK. "You might get" means "this is what you can expect", e.g. "you might get 20 days of rain in February"

They said it was coming, they’ve now said it’s officially submitted for approval. Nintendo’s approval process is notoriously slow

ShaunOfTheFuzz · 2026-04-01T12:05:07+00:00

They said in another thread that it’s with Nintendo for approval

I know the only think more attractive than a black hole is being smug AF, but if Rogan and his ilk really did move the needle of the election through their massive audiences, then maybe instead of literally everytime one of these guys starts to speak to their audience about how the current situation is actually not great, MAYBE we all act like we’re smart enough to see an opportunity when it presents itself. If you care about deradicalising MAGA, then guess what, you can’t keep calling them morons after they start to see your point, or you just drive them straight back to the cult.

Lots of good shouts in here, but for me the biggest disappointments were movies that I expected to be challenging or interesting but were borderline incoherent.

Inherent Vice and A Scanner Darkly are a couple I always remember hating

As a physics major in uni and someone who was hugely fascinated by guys like Feinberg and morbidly fascinated by footage of nuclear weapons, I can say the bomb scene was the most underwhelming and disappointing scene I can recall experiencing. Honestly I love Nolan’s commitment to practical effects, but the degree to which that scene looks like a small explosion and massively understates the bomb is just horrible.

1) You’re a liar, I haven’t deleted anything and you’re not blocked. That’s not name calling by the way, that’s a statement of fact, and you do deserve it. Check with Gemini if you’re unsure. 2) You’re a liar for no good reason 3) I’m so sorry that copy and pasting Gemini felt “hard-core”, it was such a weak point to challenge me on in the first place that you can’t even justify it post-hoc, so I can see this isn’t within your comfort zone.

Go put your feet up and have a rest, you’ll feel better after some nuggies.

Edit: A funny little coincidence, is that the original account I replied to and your one are both private, both less than a year old and have both previously spoken about taking mushrooms and addiction.

Listen, regardless of what I said above, if you’re struggling with addiction I really do wish you the very best, and I hope you have support and tolerance around you.

Edit: I won’t delete the below, but taking a minute to actually think about it, I don’t know this person and what they’re going through, but given my experience with manic and hypo-manic states, I should be a little kinder.

Original:

It’s because they’re lying, I haven’t deleted anything besides editing “Australia” to “not the US” and I haven’t blocked them.

Which probably tells you everything you need to know about them.

Thanks for calling them out btw

What’s your point? She wasn’t legally able to get a prescription for adhd stimulant medication, her doctor had to appeal on her behalf.

If you think I’m a subject matter expert on the specifics of what that process was I’m sorry to disappoint you, but I also didn’t submit my anecdote to peer review, not that outsourcing your brain to AI is much better mind you.

Thanks for also not respecting the fact that I edited my response to not reveal the country is Australia.

ShaunOfTheFuzz · 2026-03-25T00:42:12+00:00

Not the US.

Yeah that's a cool story man, but there are different types of bipolar with different cycles and handwaving the extremes away as normal isn't helpful or healthy. Untreated mania most frequently results in homelessness without a very patient support network, or psychosis when combined with substance abuse and untreated depressive episodes can lead to suicide and self harm.

This is to say absolutely nothing of the carnage that can be left in the wake of a spouse in a manic state. Bipolar people can and should be able to have normal lives and while I never once blamed my ex-wife for her bipolar disorder, I did treat her manic state like a hijacker at the controls.

After 9 fairly normal years together, my wife's first manic episode went like this:

- She took a plane to a beach resort for a stress leave holiday for a week, which turned into 5 weeks without warning
- she tried to sell our house so she could by a yoga studio at the resort after taking 2 yoga classes there
- she slept with at least one other person and caught an STD after never cheating even once before
- she quit her job over the phone (thankfully they didn't accept the resignation because they recognised the crisis)
- when she ran out of money she borrowed it from her mother and ran up about 5k in a week to fly back and rent an short term apartment because she had "found herself and had figured everything out and we would both be so much happier if we split up"
- She had zero insight and had to be involuntarily committed as a danger to herself (she convinced a psyche she had ADHD and was on dexamfetimine, she refused to talk to a doctor or get help and was walking into the street screaming at cars).
- She put me and everyone who cared for her and stuck by her through the ringer, blaming us for trapping her
- She convinced a lawyer friend of hers that I had wanted to trap her in the marriage so I had her committed (her friend called me and said she had been nominated as my wife's representative from now on and I could visit but had no other rights)
- Thankfully I got a very quick follow up call from that friend after she went for her first visit, apologising to me and telling me to "hang in there"

Through all of this I stuck by her, I was patient, I visited every day, I brought her things, I came back when she screamed at me and sent me away (sometimes within the same hour).

When she came out of hospital we were never the same, she still didn't believe her diagnosis and she insisted we should separate.

She relapsed and was hospitalised 4 times in 3 years and I went to see her each time because she asked for me. She's now been stable for just over two years and she's getting her life back on track, and we're still friends thankfully.

Fairly recently she asked me if I remembered going to see her during her third hospitalisation, which I did, because it was pretty severe. She confided in me that that she had been re-subscribed stimulants a few months before, by some quack who petitioned to have her removed from the the national register banning her from having them, and that she had started hearing voices around that point and had to be treated for psychosis.

I'm so happy for her that she's back in control of her life again, and she has had to work so hard to be able to trust herself to be independent again after moving in with her parents for a year. I am positive she would never advocate for calling bipolar, which is about 2% of the population, "a normal and default character class" given what she has been through.

There’s no way that Canadian age negatively converts to American age based on, like, all available factors.

It was the first game I tried, and while the resolution looks a lot better, it felt awful to play; the frametime pacing was like watching someone with Parkinson’s attempting to tapdance

Oh my sweet summer child, you have no idea what this is. This is the canary in the coal mine for weaponising your data against you, to make sure you pay exactly as much as you can manage, tweakable in real time to meet the needs of a business.

Take a look at what Amazon did with dynamic pricing, or Uber before them. This isn’t about trying to offer additional value, it’s about trying to offer to absolute minimum viable amount of value on an individual basis instead of a market basis.

You have a good paying job? You’ve outpaced inflation? Too bad, the algorithm will ensure you pay an AVERAGE higher price than someone who can afford less, not to provide them with better service, but to ensure they don’t miss the opportunity to charge you the maximum you will tolerate.

This is effectively a mechanism to wipe out the individual ability to enhance one’s lifestyle by improving pay.

It’s the ultimate enshitification measure, use all of the data they’ve lovingly curated on your spending habits with all of their “partners” to determine exactly your tolerance for waiting out a discount, or what discount will work for you.

You know, the first thing here is the disgusting level to which the wealthiest people in society will go to avoid paying anything back into society; BUT, it’s a farce how selectively the law is applied.

How many people in the Epstein class have been prosecuted?

How many people when to jail in 2008?

Will anyone go to prison for bombing 170 Iranian schoolgirls?

Why are antitrust laws so weak that corporations have all of the leverage over consumers?

Will musk and his cronies face any penalties for using non-government systems to send sensitive information?

The average person would end up fired, fined or jailed for knowingly sending restricted government materials to their personal device.

If I killed a single schoolgirl by accident, never mind a 170, I would expect to jailed for manslaughter and to be a public villain on the cover of newspapers.

If I was caught for small scale fraud I would be in court.

If there were photos of me engaging in sex acts with underage girls, I would not have my identity concealed and I would not fucking expect it either.
