Donut

It's 6% of revenue, not profit. So it cuts even more into profits as it doesn't allow a company in breach of regulations to reduce the impact of the fine by adding expenses that will temporarily lower their profit.

Even more spicy, they can also impose periodic penalties up to 5% of the average daily worldwide turnover for each day of delay in complying. That shit can bankrupt you.

Pretty much, but yeah it's more for those that never got the chance to play those WiiU games as content-wise the changes were nonexistent or minimal. I also refused to double dip, apart from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe when they announced DLC tracks would be released, so there was like 8 years between purchasing moments.

Switch is the first to re-release a bunch of games from the generation just before, though. This is mostly due to the previous 2 home consoles being backwards compatible, so there was no need (market).

Optimisation has its limits, yes. The difference is that Nintendo is satisfied with targeting 30fps for a lot of games, and not caring as much about framedrops as long as the core gameplay is solid and works relatively bug-free.

They spent 12 months optimising Tears of the Kingdom, and it still has areas where there are slowdowns. It was not unfixable, they just decided it was good enough.

Its hard to compare games directly as each has their own constraints and dependencies. BotW for example was also released on Wii U, and that was a limiting factor. I don't remember stuttering in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, but they did make it run at 30fps when playing with 3-4 players, if you mean that?

I think a more egregious example would be Hyrule Warriors in co-op, but again this is Koei Tecmo and not in-housed developed so they didn't have access to the same resources and tricks that Nintendo has.

They could have spent 12 months getting those 10-20fps moments smoothened out, but it was probably not worth the investment as 99% of players don't care or don't even notice when a game slows down a bit.

No shit. Glad they investigated it so it's official, though. I ditched my account when Phony Stark took over as the writing was on the wall.

Anyone who still uses X is complicit. There's so many alternative platforms to invest in, there's no excuse anymore.

Wow what a read that was. Only skimmed through the first few pages, but that is just terrible product owner behavior. And this guy is the cofounder? Fuck Discourse

1. Pokémon games aren't developed by Nintendo.

2. Bad performance isn't always caused by lack of resources. It's more often bad optimisation / resource management.

According to reddit (I hate that seemingly the info was there) they found her tiktok where there was a video celebrating her 17th birthday. So maybe you're misremembering, for your sake.

But tiktok would also explain the face filter which in turn explains the commenter thinking it was an AI generated video.

Blame SEO. Website creators either abuse SEO keywords or they get no traffic from search engines.

That first video is older than generative AI, but I have no idea what it's called

I feel like this will be proven in 40 years in a research paper about male internet culture and this is the comment that started it

I couldn't read any further, so thanks for more context. I would really love it if we'd share more open articles here so there is the full context to digest and discuss

I didn't see anything in the article and the X embeds are just text to me, so here's a video: https://youtu.be/cu9OnPo5IIE

If you like to stay in good spirits, don't read the comments.
