Locking the battery behind a screw has been a thing forever. For the switch though, you have to pull the casing apart, which is a little more involves than most people are used to. Additionally it’s a corded connection, not just slotting a battery in, I don’t think that’s a big deal, but probably not something most people have worked with.
I’ll admit it seems easier to access the battery, but that is not what I would call replaceable for the average user. I definitely thought it would be externally replaceable when this was announced.
Edit: You still need to take a part the shell and access the switches internals to swap the battery. The big changes seem to be removing the need to remove some adhesive parts and the heat shield doesn’t cover the battery anymore.
Hmm, it does seem more similar than I recalled, but it is a bit different.
Well the first one in that reboot trilogy is now 13years old 😐
Edit: I also really liked that design for her, so sad to see they’re moving away from it for the next game.
I mean if you’re just going to subsume everything under “logic”, then there really isn’t a point in having anything but math.
You can use math to understand literature, but no ones going to agree Math=Literature.
Just because a lot of science uses math doesn’t mean Science=Math.
A simple example - “I’m going to name this ant species I discovered the Leggy Ant.” - Science (Entomology) sans math.
I’m not sure that’s right. Science in all the definitions I see talk about explaining phenomena or talk about explaining nature/society.
Math can be used in those pursuits, but exists outside of that definition and is not strictly a requirement for science.
I don’t get the downvoyes, it’s a valid question.
While I agree Math is its own thing, and not inherently Science. Math has a lot of applications in Science and therefore not not something I’d count as out of place here.
Oh, I know, but I was calling out that the numbers they report downplay the significance of the physical game market.
Also, that doesn’t really tell the whole story. We don’t know how much people who buy physical still interact with digital goods. Nor do we know how removing digital may shift consumers elsewhere.
Assuming that by removing physical you’ll push a majority to buy your digital goods is an assumption, not a guarantee.
For example, I’ve moved away from consoles because if I’m going to buy it digitally, I might as well buy it for PC. That gives me greater control over how I play my games as well as more control over my games.
This also doesn’t account for the second hand market. That’s 38.5% of all NEW sales. Since there is no used digital market, that probably means physical sales still account for over half of all sales.
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.
I assume it’s AI given Jambalaya just bleeds into the gulf
It’s called “reduce, reuse, recycle”
I’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.
Yeah, the “new” 3DS is a pretty good retro console, especially if you’ve modded/hacked it.
Depends 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.
Yeah 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.
Just 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.
I’m afraid that Nintendo is basically just creating open world game with different skins at this point.
