  • Yes it was, but in some ways Nintendo still succeeded In what I believe is their goal - to scatter the developers.

    By shutting down Yuzu, they fragmented everyone into forking their own copies and competing to become the next Yuzu.

    What’s more of a threat to them? One emulator with thousands of contributors, or 1000 emulators with 2-5 contributors each?

    The best thing about open source is the pooling of developers and resources. While forking is neither a good nor a bad thing, it does tend to break up the developer pool.

    It could take anywhere from months to years if at all for everyone to finally settle on a single fork and get back to the level of developer pool that originally existed - then if that happens, Nintendo can come along and do it all over again, at least untill they don’t see the value in continuing.







  • While I’m not sure if you can do NVMe over the SD type C (unless it’s similar to thunderbolt or the super high tier latest USB spec I doubt it)

    You should already be able to get genshin running on the SD - either patched via an anime game launcher, or from what I hear areweanticheatyet.com already seems to has good news about unmatched genshin.

    As for game pass, idk I don’t use it myself because I don’t run windows on any of my systems and I’d rather not give Microsoft too much money, but just a warning - the SD was not built for windows. You might find the windows drivers, while probably stable at this point might be a bit finnicy and feel like an afterthought - because generally it probably is an afterthought. I wouldn’t expect good battery life with windows, and I would also expect potentially worse performance for games that work on both operating systems.

    The steam deck is one of the few platforms where the best expirience is Linux, because that’s what it was tailored to.

    That said, it’s up to you, if you want to do that, go ahead, no one’s stopping you it’s your device after all.










  • Mid roll ads are fine if the video was made with midrolls in mind that the midrolls actually happened at the times the maker of the video has set them up to happen.

    Sure they are selective about which videos have ads, but not when the ads come on.

    YouTube, with no adblocker or premium subscription has basically become an interrupting cow, making noise at the most innapropriate time and then you have to wat-MOOOOOOOOOO-ch the ad, then you rewind 10 seconds to get your cont-MOOOOOOOOOO-text back. There needs to be a legal limit to the number of midrolls you can stuff in a short space of time.

    I’d rather watch a series of multiple consecutive midroll ads placed at a prespecified time than a random number of ads scattered at completely random intervals, Ruining the flow and mood of the video.

    Its frustrating af.
