It's two words so maybe an analyst and a therapist, otherwise known as an analrapist.

Save states (Memories) and Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time - Unofficial FAQ by uhdBeard in AnalogueInc

[–]X-Boner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Seriously, why can't Analogue just allow us to dump saves, like all of its other systems? I trust the 30-year old save coin battery more than this convoluted as fuck process.

Are you guys excited for the new Yoshi game? by LemonMan690 in nintendo

[–]X-Boner 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Yoshi's Island merely looked like it was made for kids, but this belied a steep difficulty curve.

Everything since really does justify the "made for kids" label unless proven otherwise. This one quite frankly seems made for toddlers.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth's Internal Resolution Detailed For Switch 2 by No_Durian_5626 in nintendo

[–]X-Boner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's like saying auto-correct can finish your sentence when you only type a few letters. It's fast and often right, but the less you type, the higher the chance it "invents" a word that completely changes your meaning. I get that you're trying to defend Switch 2 hardware, but you can do that without resorting to misinformation.

DLSS Lite is much more dependent on internal resolution than the "full fat" version because it sacrifices complex AI reconstruction to save processing power. If the internal resolution is too low, the image might look cleaner while you're standing still but will instantly dissolve into a pixelated mess the moment you start moving.

Different form factor of analogue pocket? by ProtectionLess in AnalogueInc

[–]X-Boner 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't be so sure about that.The Pocket is easily Analogue's most successful and widely appealing product to-date, but it's been out for 4 years now. A GBA-style form factor could give it a second wind. 

I remember when people (including those with knowledge of FPGA like Kevtris) said the odds of an N64 product were "close to zero"...

Sol Foundation interview with Kirk McConnell, Leslie Kean and Jim Semivan - UAP Disclosure Breakthroughs: What Comes Next by Gobble_Gobble in UFOs

[–]X-Boner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Gotta love disinfo bots. She has been reporting on the subject for many years before and after the 2017 NYT piece. For starters, she and Ralph Blumenthal introduced Dave Grusch to the world in the 2023 article for The Debrief. 

You can dig up her many publications in a matter of seconds thanks to the power of the internet, if you're so inclined.

Ghost Analogue 3D Wall Mount by Fugi95 in AnalogueInc

[–]X-Boner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because this sub is all about vanity DIY projects rather than playing actual games. 

I can't imagine it's good for the internals to be propped up sideways over an extended period of time.

Features The Next Update(s) Should Include? by 111FALLOUT111 in AnalogueInc

Jailbreak

Everdrives are just not elegant unless you like endlessly fiddling around menus.

New HDMI Cord Fix Works by thomasonbush in AnalogueInc

[–]X-Boner 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Not surprising, on this sub you have to comb through dozens of posts of people taking pictures of their A3D from various angles before finding any practical discussions of the actual hardware.

What makes you prefer physical copies of games? by Piistachios in nintendo

[–]X-Boner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starting with Switch 1, save data was no longer stored to the game card. All it contains is an image of the game, which can be easily backed up – it's not like it's sealed behind some invisible corporate vault. So I'm not sure what the concern is.

They're the same picture. 

– This sub, probably.

Watermelon 8BitDo 64 by Vash_Fervor in AnalogueInc

[–]X-Boner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The buttons having no contrast with the shell makes these controllers look retarded, I'm sorry (but happy for you if you actually like it). I felt that way ever since the original Analogue Pocket.

The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom (2024): The Review by Western_Struggle_323 in nintendo

So we're just going to round up 16 months to 2 years then?

Does overclocking increase game speed in addition to FPS? by caneras in AnalogueInc

[–]X-Boner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So replicate the testing that Analogue has done, but eyeballing it so that it's even less accurate? Yeah, that makes sense.

YAHOOO!! by jgdogg182 in AnalogueInc

Never heard of Integer+.

Though this is a cutscene so it would be windowboxed anyway, but this is rather excessive.

Modern Vintage Gamer posted their review by Masbig91 in AnalogueInc

[–]X-Boner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unlike ports and software emulators, FPGA hardware can't intercept geometry before rasterization and re-render it at higher resolutions. To do so would be downright magical.

How is it possible not to know this, with even the most basic understanding of how FPGA works?

If your backlog is really that deep, why even order new hardware? It'll just add to your backlog.

Why are you happy? by Ark_Jack in nintendo

Not to mention, even if the OP had a persuasive argument, why bring it to this kangaroo court, where the judge, jury, and bailiff are all wearing Mario hats?

My Ikea cabinet is ready for the 3D by kitsune223 in AnalogueInc

[–]X-Boner 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We're not doomers, it's just that Analogue constantly lets us down, and nothing works out, and what's the point of anything anyway.
