  • I mean, Nintendo have often been fairly good with back compatibility.

    If the architecture and form factor of physical media isn’t really changing, there’s not a lot of need to block older games from running.

    They’re already on ARM, and there’s not much better for mobile gaming and GPUs have been fairly similar for a long time now.

    The more interesting question is: will the Switch games get a performance boost on Switch 2? And it’s probably going to depend on the game. I’d imagine they’ll test a lot of the more popular titles, and anything with issues just gets it disabled until the developer patches it. It’d be nice to play TotK at a decent frame rate. Impressive as it is, it certainly chugs.




  • It’s easy to assume that everyone that disagrees with us is stupid, but I can assure you that’s very much not true.

    I’ve seen otherwise very intelligent people lost down the rabbit hole of right-wing fuckbaggery. I think it’s often just a slow burn from social media. I saw a video earlier today about an ancient tool for spear throwing, and was immediately afterwards presented with a video about how the new Dragon Age game is ruined by DEI…

    And the saddest thing is, most people on the extremes have started at the same place: An unhappiness with their own life and a search for a solution. They’ve just ended up at vastly different positions, in that the right has chosen to blame the nebulous “others” below them, while the left has chosen to blame the “others” above them. And punching down is always an ugly look.
