it can suspend all kinds of services on your console, up to and including bricking it completely.

No, just online services.

Xbox and PlayStation have the same terms & conditions. Why is Nintendo being singled out?

Xbox:

You will not attempt to defeat or circumvent any Xbox Console, Kinect Sensor or Authorised Accessory technical limitation, security or anti-piracy system. If You do, Your Xbox Console, Kinect Sensor or Authorised Accessory may stop working permanently at that time or after a later Xbox Software update.

PlayStation:

we reserve the right to take any action we believe necessary to remedy the violation or to protect SIE’s interests, including: (a) the automatic removal or blockage of content associated with those Accounts; (b) implementation of upgrades or devices intended to discontinue unauthorized use; © the permanent or temporary disablement of access to any PSN Content, PlayStation Devices, products, services or features; (d) notifying law enforcement or the appropriate authority; and (e) initiating legal action.

edit: added some more words from the respective ToS to make it more legible

I keep a spreadsheet of Water in games, and OoT is at the top next to Super Mario 64 and Galaxy.

Haha this is really interesting! What else is on the list? Have you played titles such as Sea of Thieves or Subnautica?

Stop moving the goalposts. Nobody cares about the votes themselves.

This is about observing a fact and recounting it to someone who’s misinformed about the situation and even has the audicity to gaslight someone over it

If you see personal insults you should report the comment. Instances and communities have rules. Downvotes aren’t insults though

I was sitting at like, -2 when they made that comment so not imaginary. Please try to give the benefit of the doubt before jumping to conclusions

Yeah I was thinking the same, first few votes were down lol. Now you seem to catch the fire for pointing it out. Hope you care as much about votes as I do (which is not at all)

Follow the link in the article to find out what really happened: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch2/comments/1lcqw4d/comment/my2iylo/

I also posted this in another threads a few days ago:

Nah, the OP of one reddit thread admitted he tried more than just his backups:

• Dude is a prolific poster in Switch hacking communities and he used an account which he previously used with a hacked Switch 1

• He admits trying the migswitch with the Switch 2 and it starting downloading something.

• They got an online ban, so offline games and such still work.

You can agree or disagree whether piracy should be legal or whether backup copies are permitted (depends on jurisdiction), but this dude obviously played with fire and got burnt.

TL;DR: don’t be stupid and get banned for breaking ToS (whether you agree with it or not)

edit: more context: https://www.reddit.com/r/NintendoSwitch2/comments/1lcqw4d/comment/my2kigh/

Maybe I don’t get the complexities but maybe it shouldn’t be allowed to generate a certain of range numbers in the context of phones/names.

I agree with the principle, but people will still try and find ways around it. Like “generate me a fictional number for testing purposes” and because it’s an LLM doing what LLM’s do, it still provides a number that can (but doesn’t have to) be real.

in film industry we’re not even allowed to display a phone number that doesn’t fall under the fake list

Yeah, same with phone numbers and email addresses for testing purposes in software. Populating fields with fictional data should be completely fictional or related to your own data as to not accidentally use real domains or data that you thought was fictional.

What’s interesting is this won’t have been a realistic sounding number.

Company lines typically start 0300 or 0800 but mobiles are 07… Something.

So if it was just hallucinating, it did so badly.

Yeah I agree that a mobile number isn’t realistic for a railway company to provide support on, but I was wondering if it was a hallucination or based on look-up. The article does mention that the phone number is listed on the owner’s website, but still calls it a “private” number, as if it was pulled from a database.

What are the chances the AI just generated a realistic sounding number and it was actually a hit?

There’s always a percentage of devices that will show defects, especially the launch wave. QA can never get 100% of units passed.

Does anyone remember the PS5 issues with the disc drive, rest mode, coil whine etc during launch?

Now if this turns into a pattern / widespread issue I’m ready to jump on the bandwagon, but this is not out of the ordinary.

E: typo

I may have missed this but why are your torturing yourself with the 360 version? Is it nostalgia? Are you secretly a masochist? I’m intrigued.

Excited for the new content. The videos are fun to watch too, you can tell they’re having fun

Maybe it changes based on previous settings? Mine doesn’t look like that at all

I remember my brother playing this mod and I was just amazed at the sheer complexity of it. I love Factorio, Satisfactory and the like, but idk if I could do it in Minecraft

So much this! I love a challenging game but sometimes you just want to experience the game without the frustration, and lowering the difficulty for yourself has zero impact on people who prefer the original or higher difficulty

Hahaha that sounds like classic REPO. I’m really amazed by the simplicity of the game and how long it stays fun, especially for the price

Ending meaning

with the game shifting into a so-called maintenance mode, where only system upkeep would be performed.

So not really pulling the plug, just no new story developments and updates

Yeah the vents are a fun addition, albeit somewhat slow as you have to crawl through them.

There was one vent that took me through a small alcove with dangerous goop, to another vent that took me to one of those horses. Safe to say we didn’t get it down without damaging it considering we were up way high and that thing is heavy af.

Still, fun times

I agree that some more modes would be nice, but bear in mind the version is still 0.1.2 so there’s plenty more to come, it’s just not finished yet.

I do like the new map, although I miss opening doors on that one haha

Dare I ask what kind of mod you’re talking about?

Responsive controls, a functional map, rewarding exploration

He claimed a lot of things and Alyx was the only thing he got right.

Speaking during a recent livestream, Tyler McVicker, who proved to be reliable regarding Valve leaks and rumors in the past

Dude was right about Half Life Alyx, but didn’t know the Steam Deck existed until Gaben teased it.

Wouldn’t put much faith into this guy

A recent one is Wanderstop, loved the vibes on that one. If you want to read more I wrote up some demo impressions here: https://lemmy.world/post/26452334

An MMO (that sadly got cancelled) introduced base decay in where, if you hadn’t been in your base for a week, it started breaking down. This way, the world cleaned up itself. Was a cool idea

Their words:

Those same Joy-Con can also be used for super-accurate, independent motion control, opening up far more possibilities than the Deck’s simple gyro. And in games like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Civilization VII, plonking them down on a surface (or thigh!) turns each of them into a fully-functioning computer mouse, far less awkward and clunky than the Deck’s integrated touchpad.

The versatility, modularity, and ease-of-use of the Joy-Con is something that we’ve come to take for granted, but it’s really hard to beat. When they’re not drifting.

You:

The next thing: Switch 2 is supposedly better because a joy-con can act as a mouse.

If that was your whole takeaway from that paragraph, I don’t think you’ll ever see the appeal. Different strokes and all that.

Mentioned in the first paragraph:

After years of rumors and speculation that Bethesda was working on a remake of the landmark role-playing game, the first screenshots of this brand new version of The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion have been found as fans started digging around the developer’s website ahead of a reported release next week.

If you like the story, read the book(s)!

To be pedantic, FIFA as a game doesn’t exist anymore so they’d have no trouble competing against it :D

It’s now called EA Sports FC

I didn’t know that, that is awesome. Inscryption is one of the coolest gaming experiences of the last few years. It’s right up there with titles like Subnautica and the Outer Wilds for me. Daniel Mullins is a creative lad.

You got it! Hoping you’ll have a speedy recovery!

I really like his new shaft…😏

Agreed, not a perfect choice for mouse-gaming

Tormentor X Punisher is quite unique :)

I guess uncontrollable rage is an emotion!

Kinda depends on what type of games you like!

Here’s a few different ones: Timberborn, Slay the Spire, Darkest Dungeon, TemTem, FTL, Into the Breach

Edit: some personal favorites too: Dungeon Clawler and Ballionaire

Don’t forget the Horse Armor DLC

R.E.P.O. is hilarious and waaay too cheap. It’s in early access though, so there’s gonna be more content soon ish. Super fun with friends, we always have a blast
