"You will own nothing and you will be happy". No inequality if everyone's equally miserable, and helps push the acceptable amount of control. Something not just these companies do, and that I have the impression that isn't even originally their agenda.

    But on lack of contents, mislabeling, lack of cross-federation between BookWyrm and NeoDB, not unsolvable issues. Like people would complain about Lemmy in 2022 but now is pretty active, edits on entries (at least on NeoDB) being possible for any users afaik (though might need approval to avoid abuses), cross-federarion being possible to suggest in the softwares' issue trackers, and so on.

    Iirc the first news are about a month old now, pretty recent stuff. Having followed console modding and emulation for some decades now, from my experience, patience's the key.

    On the Switch 2 specifically, I made a thread of posts a while back, listing my irritations with the console and its overdependance and overreliance on internet connections.

    But if you'd be interested in following news on the matter, GBAtemp's a good source for that, and adjacent to that there's also !emulation@sh.itjust.works and !emulator_news@crust.piefed.social (latter one run by me hehe). In fact, GBAtemp has RSS feeds, so I think I'll link to Piefed too.

    But @Rhoeri@lemmy.world, a rule of thumb in console modding is to never update your console, unless explicitly said otherwise.

    System updates in consoles after a mod is released usually also carry a patch for the vulnerability that allowed modding.

    Also if you speak Portuguese and/or Spanish, or are willing to tolerate Youtube's AI translations, you can find some pretty good tutorials from native speakers of either languages.

    "You will own nothing and you will be happy"

    Sony's been going on this path for quite a while, since at least the PSP Iirc. You can't own what you can't keep, so Sony even redefines that word. Even their subsidiaries, like the Crunchyroll Store, are getting affected by Sony's agenda.

    Now, if you're on the PS4 or PS5, I do agree you should buy Skyrim again.

    ...on GOG.

    Then mod your console, install Linux on it, and run the officially DRM free version of the game through Wine. 👌

    Or buy a physical copy for the PS3 and emulate on RPCS3 on Linux on the PS4/PS5, but it wouldn't be as poetic.

    Today's mini article is about Dolphin Depot, a new project from developer Webhdx that essentially gives the original Nintendo GameCube its own homebrew app store. Publicly announced a little earlier this week, Dolphin Depot allows everyone to browse, download and install homebrew applications directly on their GameCube, rather than having to track everything down individually and transfer files from a pc. There's also a website where you can explore the catalogue, which includes emulators, utilities and homebrew games. You still need a homebrew-capable GameCube and a network connection, of course, but I think it's a fun addition to the console's homebrew scene. Feels and looks like a true hack! I like how it makes older projects easier to discover, like for people who are only just getting into GameCube homebrew. It's just ...nice seeing these sorts of modern things arrive on hardware that's now twenty-five years old :) Yet again, this is one of those 'niche-within-a-niche' projects I find and write about!

     

    If anyone's taking the dust of their Super Metroid, but has since lost the manuals, Nintendo officially hosts it as PDF

    #SNES #GBA #retrogaming #metroid

    They host both JP & USA versions, by the way.

    Also, I do not know the path within their site, but they were indexed on DuckDuckGo:

    Thought it would be of interest given the recent port. Also why the GBA hashtag at the beginning.

    Also worth noting and reiterating, you need a legal copy of the game if you want to try the port. What counts as legal depends on your country (looking at you, DMCA), so do your research.

    E contexto a quem interessar:

    Interface é uma série surrealista depois transformada em filme, e que mistura também mistério, filosofia, drama e desenvolvimento críptico da história. SAFE MODE se passa no mesmo universo do Interface, e segue uma linha similar, mas puxando um pouco mais (voz de Leônidas) pro surrealismo.

    Ambos estão no Youtube de graça oficialmente, Interface também está no Odysee, e como o cara voltou a postar no Odysee, imagino que logo o SAFE MODE vem completo lá também.

    Como traduzir "threads"? (thebrainbin.org)
     

    Estou ajudando a traduzir o Mbin, e essa palavra me confunde um pouco.

    Thread seria o tipo de publicação que o Lemmy gera, por exemplo, ao invés das micropublicações do Mastodon e afins. E Mbin suportando micropublicações também, não posso só jogar um "publicação" ou "post", já que "post" é como micropublicações são chamadas localmente, e que eu saiba "publicação" é a tradução direta.

    Já a tradução ao pé da letra de "thread", "linha" ou "fio", eu não lembro de já ter lido ou ouvido em contextos relacionados, tirando em discussões se funcionaria, mas sem ser conclusivo. E pelo menos a mim não soa natural.

    Daí volto à pergunta, alguma ideia de como traduzir?

     

    According to user Pirat_Nation on Twitter, "GOG wants to bring physical PC games back."

    #gog #physicalmedia

    Pirat_Nation's report continues:

    The idea is to let players buy boxed versions of games directly from their GOG library and have them delivered to their homes.

    “We need to think about logistics. We need to think about storage,”

    The company would also need approval from publishers to produce and sell physical copies.

    GOG has been discussing the idea for years, but there are still plenty of challenges to overcome.

    “I really hope that at some point we will be able to do it,”

    No source mentioned though.

    Both fediverse softwares that support user reviews for books, both have RSS support natively (no Piefed/Misskey bridge needed), and some comments also seem discontent with Amazon's mismanagement overall.
