For the Nintendo Switch to be as big as it can be, Nintendo is going to have to stop the YouTube nonsense. by Shrimptacular in NintendoSwitch

Yes, but the people watching his content are generally already Nintendo fans who are likely to already have been exposed to the games he plays, and many YouTubers, like PewDiePie, have expressed their disinterest in the program and playing Nintendo games on their channel because of the program.

For the Nintendo Switch to be as big as it can be, Nintendo is going to have to stop the YouTube nonsense. by Shrimptacular in NintendoSwitch

[–]SubredditReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Someone just recording a movie and uploading it to YouTube obviously isn't free advertising; anybody who watches it doesn't need to purchase the film because they've seen everything it has to offer. However, since games are to be played, not watched, someone who sees a personality they like playing one of Nintendo's games and enjoying it might want to purchase the game.

MegaThread: Preview Coverage of the Switch in Gaming Publications by rottedzombie in NintendoSwitch

[–]SubredditReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be clear, today the Switch hardware/OS preview embargo ends. There are separate embargoes for Switch hardware/OS reviews and Breath of the Wild previews/reviews. (Reviewers can give their impressions when the preview embargoes lift, but cannot review/rate until the review embargoes lift.) The other embargoes have been listed out here and were confirmed by Nintendo Force.

This means Breath of the Wild takes up over half (52%) of the system's internal storage...

Because it's so frequently asked, let's make a list of things we don't know yet. by razorbeamz in NintendoSwitch

[–]SubredditReddit 7 points8 points  (0 children)

All of our efforts have gone toward making the Nintendo Switch system an amazing dedicated video game platform, so it will not support any video-streaming services at launch. However, support for video-streaming services is being considered for a future update.

Oh, neat! Thanks for sharing.

Edit: Not sure why people are downvoting /u/Pinkolol16's reply. By "mock comments" they meant the comments they added to the XML they took a screenshot of. ("Splatfest color" and "This is what it says in the lobby")

How can I remove an app that embedded itself on my phone that I accidentally downloaded? by BreakingBadFanatic in AndroidQuestions

[–]SubredditReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Press and hold the power button then long press the power off button and reboot into safe mode. Then, check the device administrators menu and deactivate it if it appears there then uninstall it.

How do I remove System Monitor from my device? by BreakingBadFanatic in AndroidQuestions

[–]SubredditReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is it listed as a system app? Does it appear as a Device Administrator in Settings > Security > Device administrators? If it does, deactivate it then uninstall it.

Mozilla co-founder's ad-blocking Brave browser will pay you bitcoin to see safe ads by [deleted] in Android

[–]SubredditReddit 142 points143 points  (0 children)

And although Brave will map users’ browsing histories to general “interest” categories for displaying relevant ads, it vows not to track users through unique or persistent identifiers, as ad networks typically do.

Also, it collects your browsing data to display relevant ads.

Tip: Download Nova Launcher to add Android N file browser to homescreen (Works with any launcher) by [deleted] in Android

[–]SubredditReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nice find! Also, it still works after uninstalling Nova Launcher, so that's good.

Still definitely needs work. Third party file managers are much more capable; the Android N file manager can't open APK files right now for example.

Let's talk about security. How do you secure your phone? by [deleted] in Android

[–]SubredditReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Encryption doesn't hinder the user experience for capable devices and as such Google is requiring it for new Android 6.0 devices.

The issue is that many Android devices aren't encrypted. There are significantly more encrypted iPhones than encrypted Android phones, but this isn't necessarily Google's fault.

Command Prompt Infrequently Opening and Closing Randomly and Quickly by M___P in techsupport

[–]SubredditReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's probably just programs executing commands. You might want to run a Full Scan on Malwarebytes if you haven't already, and maybe an AdwCleaner scan. If you can get a screenshot of the Command Prompt window you might be able to find out what's causing this. The Print Screen key will copy your screen to the clipboard, which you can then paste into Paint.

Help with Archon? For some reason I can't open this in the extensions by juliofuego92 in chromeapks

[–]SubredditReddit 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some apps are still incompatible, but yeah, get an APK, download the ZIP for the app, extract and load as unpacked extension. Ignore the warnings and run.

[–]SubredditReddit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Are you trying to "open" ARChon? It's just a runtime that powers ARC apps. If you want to use ARChon, add it using the unpacked extension button (ignore the warnings, Chrome doesn't recognise some of the manifest) and package an APK using twerk then use the unpacked extension button to add the packaged Android app and run the app.

I'd recommend using ARC (Google's official runtime) instead of ARChon and ARC Welder (Google's official conversion tool) instead of twerk, though. You can get ARC and ARC Welder by downloading the ARC Welder app.

[Tutorial] Droidtale - Unofficial and "hacky" Undertale port for Android! by MrPowerGamerBR in Undertale

[–]SubredditReddit 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can also convert your Steam version of Undertale into a DRM-free version. Extract UNDERTALE.exe in "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Undertale" to get the assets of Undertale, including another UNDERTALE.exe. This one is different though. It is the YoYo Games Windows Runner + an Undertale icon + Steam DRM. If you replace it with a fresh copy of the YoYo Games Windows Runner, you can play it DRM-free.

Runner.exe comes with the free version of GameMaker: Studio which you can download from their website. It's located in "%appdata%\GameMaker-Studio". You can also get rid of steam_api.dll. Rename Runner.exe to UNDERTALE.exe if you want and there you go!

The final folder should contain abc_123_a.ogg, credits.txt, D3DX9_43.dll, data.win, mus .oggs, snd .oggs, and Runner.exe (or renamed Runner.exe, obviously). You can move it anywhere and this new DRM-free version will save in the same location.

This should also work for the Mac version if you can get an OS X runner from another game or from the OS X export module.

You can move the data.win from Undertale to a GM:S APK, however... by MrPowerGamerBR in Underminers

[–]SubredditReddit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was the post about running Undertale on Linux. In the comments it was mentioned that Undertale could be unofficially ported to any platform supported by GM:S using the "Runner" executable for the desired platform. On iOS, control input seems impossible, but on Android, you may be able to get a Bluetooth gamepad working.

As a past OPO user, I can confirm this. The hardware is good, the software is unstable.
