Hmm, I may be reading it wrong, but it’s just talking about the distribution/updating of foreign controlled applications. Based on what I’ve seen Marvel Snap isnt controlled by them, they just provide services for the application, so it wouldn’t technically apply. However, I’m not a lawyer and may have the wrong read on the app, but given the game developers were surprised I’d think that’s the right read.

I’m actually not sure how you’d label the axis here. The info being conveyed is the relationship between two separate things.

I feel like bytedance is doing this on purpose to rule people up, as these kinds of services weren’t explicity called out.

It may backfire though. I don’t think most Americans know how much is influenced/owned by Chinese companies.

That’s cause all the Devin’s are distracting you with the AI uprising while actually planning their own.

Thanks for the context, that all makes sense to me.

Yes

That’s a good catch!

You are right that it is more of just a spec bump, but given the warning that not all switch games may be compatible, I think the controllers are going to have different sensors (some have speculated a more mouse-like feature).

When you say “document your code” what kind of documentation are you talking about?

I’ve had every Nintendo console since the gbc and suspect I’ll eventually get this too, but they’ve got an uphill battle vs the steamdeck for me. Really going to depend on the first party games.

I feel like the nes->snes, gb->gbc->GBA, ds->3ds, and wii->WiiU were all pretty similar advancements.

In all of those except nes->snes you had backwards compatability, and the wii->WiiU had hardware backwards compatibility (which the switch 2 doesn’t, at least for controllers).

Yeah I liked the free form exploration, felt more like a kid on an adventure.

I my opinion this game did open world design better than most games out there. I personally put it above BOTW, but that’s probably a controversial opinion.

Really excited to hear they’re making a sequel.

The power bill side is also not even clear cut. The longer processing time for slower chips sometimes ends up resulting in higher costs. It’s surprisingly not as simple as lower wattage chip is cheaper to operate.

If you didn’t try it, “Bowser’s Fury” was a lot of fun. It’s annoyingly packaged with “3D World”, although if you haven’t played that it’s also a good 3D Mario.

3D World + Bowser’s Fury

I suspect this is an area where we may see AI assets help speed up development for smaller studios.

Steam already runs fine on Linux, you don’t need SteamOS to us the compatibility functionality, meaning anything you can play on the steamdeck already works on a Linux pc.

Same, me and a friend struggled with that game for a while, but still remains an extremely satisfying game to have beaten when you couldn’t just look things up.

But they’re the minority, most games have gatcha/pay-to-win mechanics. It’s actually hard to find some simple games where you aren’t harassed to buy things.

To simplify both posts below:

• FSA: good if you know you’re going to have $2-3k+ medical expenses and want to use tax deffered money.

• HSA: good if you want to save tax deffered money year over year (and don’t mind having a high deductible insurance plan)

• additionally, some people use HSAs as an investment for retirement.

Just to add context:

• FSA (Flexible Spending Account) is funded by pretax money and can be used on certain health expenses. While you can have an FSA regardless of health insurance plan, the money is USE IT OR LOOSE IT.

• HSA (Health Savings Account) is similar to an FSA, but only available to people with a high deductible insurance plan. This money is YOURS FOREVER and can even be invested.
