eh, im lazy. true that there is nothing special about steam os, but I like the Linux experience they released, so I don’t mind waiting

rather than an empty, performative stunt.

looks to me both parties are enjoying themselves in the photo, doesn’t look empty or performative at all. if Dave Coulier was cool with it, thats all that matters imo

I think they’re working on it, I could have sworn they said they were but a quick Google search shows nothing for me…

I saw someone posted bazzite as an alternative to steam os, but I’d just rather wait for whatever valve puts out at this point. I trust them to make it happen a little bit too much lol

is this not what the steam deck os will eventually offer? cause I can see myself using that on my desktop eventually

OOF. that’s considered a classic now? 🪦

I have the artbook lying around my place somewhere…

its a one season show and that’s it, imo

gotcha, thanks for clearing that up

Since we are going to take a deep dive on this, I attempted to read a Wikipedia article on this court case. I stopped reading after the second sentence since the top of the wikipedia article does not support your claim, at all.

from wiki:

The court determined that Galoob’s Game Genie did not violate Nintendo’s exclusive right to make derivative works of their games, because the Game Genie did not create a new permanent work.

the game genie did not create a new copy of a video game, an important distinction. what is a ROM if its not a new, permanent file and what does this court case have to do with my previous statement?

agreed!

As a consumer I should have the right to purchase a game (software) and do whatever the fuck I want with it, if I want to emulate Tears of the Kingdom because it runs and looks better on my computer than on my switch I should be allowed to do so

you should, but you dont. you fail to realize nintendo games are licensed to us. You do not own any software you puchase through nintendo. Take a look at the last two sections of this page:

Can I Download a ROM If I Own the Original Game? No, downloading ROMs from direct download sites, linking sites or other illegal sources, even when you own a copy of the video game, is not allowable under the Copyright Act.

But can’t I make a backup copy if I own the video game? You may be thinking of the backup/archival exception under the U.S. Copyright Act. There is some misinformation on the Internet regarding this backup/archival exception. This is a very narrow limitation that extends to computer software. Video games are comprised of numerous types of copyrighted works and should not be categorized as software only. Therefore, provisions that pertain to backup copies would not apply to copyrighted video game works and specifically ROM downloads, that are typically unauthorized and infringing.

so no, you cant just run it on whatever you want to, legally speaking. I think you should be able to do whatever you want with software, but its never been this way.

thats fair for you to feel that way

sorry, but I just will never buy into Nintendo, the company, being shitty when I feel they are trying to protect their IP.

as a major fan of classic video game emulation, I understand the conversation surrounding game preservation… but I draw the line at emulation of current gen games that are still actively being sold with hardware that you’re still easily able to purchase.

I can understand why nintendo may want to destroy and threaten anything that hosts software through unauthorized channels as well, as the biggest source of their income is gaming hardware and software. anything that threatens their main source of income will have the book thrown at them, wouldnt you do the same?

Check this quote out. if you were running a business, do you not see where they are coming from? I feel like their hands are tied:

You Can Lose Your IP Rights if Not Enforced If you don’t take adequate or sufficient, reasonable means to protect and enforce your IP, then you run the risk of losing your IP rights. What is sufficient and reasonable action is not always clear; it depends on the situation. But, suffice it to say, if you know someone is using your IP without your authorization, you should promptly look into it to determine what, if anything, should and needs to be done so that you don’t lose one of your most important business assets – your valuable intellectual property.

damn, why so much hate for Nintendo around here? they make legitimately good games…

I’ve been having an absolute blast playing the newest Mario party with my family, among the other games they offer.

ladies and gentlemen, we got him

whoa, Lemmy explorer is a great resource, thanks!

definitely fucking hilarious. I laughed so hard at the last sentence

haters in this thread, proceed with caution!

this clock isn’t for me, but I think its cool for people that like gadgets and gimmicks.

war social media never changes
