I’m betting closer to $800 or $900.

That’s strange, I have a friend with no internet and he used his ps4 for half a decade before ever connecting it to the network.

Idk I played Doom RPG on my flip phone in high school and that game was pretty awesome. I also had Splinter Cell 3 on it, that was pretty miserable to play, but it was cool seeing full 3d on a phone.

Yeah, that’s very true. Precedents don’t really hold up anymore in this current era.

They’ve been unable to shut down any emulator that doesn’t need to circumvent copy protection, what makes you think they’d have better luck with FPGAs?

They’ve released multiple fpga devices for Nintendo platforms and not suffered one lawsuit. They’re pretty careful.

I doubt it was under $200k. Paying 3 devs for 7 years is likely $75-100k each per year, or around $700k on just one salary, which they paid with their sales from HK. Then they had to pay the composer, localizers, bug testers, etc etc. it’s definitely still low budget, but not as much as the first one.

Same thing as the brown shirts being integrated into SS after Hitler was released from prison

I’d hope so, it’s a 20 year old game with a new coat of paint slapped on it.

I flew in 2024 most recently and had no such requirement. I wonder why the differing experience.

Have you been to China? They do none of this shit. They don’t gaf about your phone.

Because he’s lying. I travel to China regularly and they don’t give a fuck about my phone. Not once have they done more than just glance at my passport, glance at me, and stamp it and send me on my way.

No they don’t. Customs in China is like 2 seconds of them glancing at your passport, looking at you, and stamping it. Literally the fastest I’ve ever got through an airport is in China, both arriving and leaving.

Some games, some are on cart too. Switch 1 is actually probably the best because just about every game is fully playable unlike ps and Xbox which require patches often to run alright. Switch 2 I hear cyberpunk is fully on the cart, but I doubt many publishers are willing to pay for the bigger carts, so we’ll probably see a lot of third parties be just the key, which is ridiculous.

It’s great, I can lend my friend the games he doesn’t have, and I can do the same with his games. In this way, we can play many more games than we have the money for. Especially useful since we’re in the US, and internet infrastructure is still poor here, his only option is satellite, which takes far too long to download anything.

Same, and now this is the second mention of it I’ve seen on lemmy in two weeks. I got it for like $5 in a combo pack with a terrible mech game in the bargain bin in Walmart probably 20+ years ago. Never beat it, but the vibes are top notch and I replay it every few years. Still have the disks and all.

There’s these things called consoles, that let you put a disk in, they both contains the game and a license to play it. Though these days some games just sell an empty box with a code to download the game.

Israel is recognized for using imprisonment as a form of hostage taking, holding thousands of Palestinians with no charges or trial for up to months at a time, as young as 8 years old. This is more of the same behavior for them. They were not in Israel until dragged there at gunpoint, they were in international waters, btw.

Hades IIs character is a girl, and it’s very fun.

I’d rather have a one party state under a communist party than a two party state under two capitalist parties. In both cases it’s immediately obvious who these parties serve, in China, it’s the people and society, in the U.S., it’s the billionaires and capitalist class.
