Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo Cuts Switch 2 Output by Over 30% on Weak US SalesEnglish
2·4 months agoI’ve always thought it was a shame Sony didn’t support the vita more. It was a pretty great device, just not a lot takes advantage of it. If you haven’t played it before Muramasa Rebirth is one of the best exclusives for the Vita.
That being said, I’ve enjoyed being able to play things like Megabonk and Slay the Spire 2 along with things like Metroid Prime Triology and Sunshine all on one device, but it’s definitely not worth it for everyone.
x64 support also still has a way to go. I can get a lot of indie/2D games working, but outside of that it’s very hit or miss.

1·4 months agoYeah, the “new” 3DS is a pretty good retro console, especially if you’ve modded/hacked it.

1·4 months agoDepends on what you’re looking for, but in the $450 range you’re probably looking at an android handheld that is probably around the same size (you can find smaller and different form factors).
This one Ayn Thor is a clamshell with a slightly larger battery, but slightly smaller screen. With its chip and x64 emulation you can play a good amount of your steam library, but will probably be limited to indie games or older 3D games.
Sites like Emuready you can check out what other people have been able to get working.

21·4 months agoYeah but for $450 I can buy a lot of different devices that can play all of my switch games and most of my steam library.
Only thing I’m missing out on are a couple switch 2 exclusives.

16·5 months agoJust for awareness, Google Translate is based on LLMs. Translation is actually why LLMs were initially made and you won’t find a better method for translation (besides hiring a translator). The thing you’re looking for is an LLM only for translation.

Data is Beautiful@mander.xyz•The World as 100 People over the last 2 centuriesEnglish
82·7 months agoProbably cause it looks like poverty is measured as > $30 per day. Using a set currency is terrible because purchasing power varies so much. For example that’s why there is a thing called the big Mac index. It measures how many big macs can someone on minimum wage earn across countries/regions.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Mac_Index
Edit: it does mention that things are inflation and purchasing power adjustmented in the fine print at the bottom.
It used to be a lot better. For the SNES they made a collection of all super Mario games (literally all up to that point) as a single game for the SNES “Super Mario All Stars +”.
I think the biggest issue with the Mario galaxy bundle, is they had released the “3D All stars collection” a couple years back (which got flack for not containing Super Mario Galaxy 2). So if you bought that game, you now have to pay $70 ($100 CAD) just for Galaxy 2 (Making the re-release of the game more expensive than the original).

3·1 year agoOh yeah, Zelda has a special place in my heart, but tunic just did such an amazing job revealing just enough to keep you hunting for the next step.
If you haven’t loom up some of the speed runs for Tunic. A lot of the game can be skipped simply by knowing what you already need to do, a bit like Outer Wilds.

4·1 year agoI don’t even know why it really needs an explanation. They basically tell you from the start it’s an endless loop of good vs evil.
Every game is it’s own thing/story so there isn’t any baggage and you get to start all over again saving the world.

Nintendo@lemmy.world•Nintendo Switch 2 Smashes Records with Over 3 Million Units Sold in 24 HoursEnglish
1·1 year agoYou’re right that for the GameCube, that’s puts it as the 25th best selling game, but it had 1/5th the sales of Double Dash (while being released in the opposite ordering, Kirby in July and Double Dash in November).
While I agree that Sakurai directing it is a big deal for some, I don’t think the general consumer cares. I suspect that what will make it sell is that there is little competition from the switch 2 perspective.
But time will tell in this case.


This pdf shows that it seems “light trucks” which includes SUVs account for pretty much all the growth in pedestrian fatalities - GHSA Pedestrian Fatalitis
What’s interesting is that the growth is pretty much all night time crashes. If this information is correct, it raises the question if the increase is due to slower reaction times at night compounded by the heavier vehicles or is it simply that SUVs when involved in an accident lead to death over injury.
Sadly I can’t find a “pedestrian accidents” by year, as that would help to better understand if less people are surviving the same number of accidents or if more accidents are happening due to the increase in SUV usage.
