Diesel Legacy: The Brazen Age – Gameplay Trailer – Nintendo Switch
  • @picandocodigo, gameplay-wise seems like inverse Fight'n'Rage. That one was a very fighting/combo-inspired beat'em'up, while this looks more like a beat'em'up-inspired fighting game.

  • The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Statue Exhibition Video [Nintendo Live 2024 TOKYO]
  • @picandocodigo, check out other Zelda videos by TerminalMontage for where it came from.

  • [Help Needed] Any recommendation for alternative to JoyCon?
  • @Entropy, @MetricIsRight, awesome, thank you both.

    I still have a set of spares, but once I’m through those, I’ll get the hall effect ones.

    My current gripe is to get the right rail to fit tighter so the right joycon does not lose connection. I’m thinking of adding some teflon. (One of the screws’ heads is too worn out to disassemble fully)

  • [Help Needed] Any recommendation for alternative to JoyCon?
  • @Entropy, do they also feel good? I heard conflicting reports on that part. @slimerancher

  • Nintendo has filed a patent for ‘smart fluid’ joysticks, perhaps to eliminate drift | VGC
  • @JonDorfman, right, but Hall effect analogue sticks themselves have existed for a long time, so that technology in general (except any novel addition) is (most likely) not patented anymore.

  • Nintendo has filed a patent for ‘smart fluid’ joysticks, perhaps to eliminate drift | VGC
  • @JonDorfman, I did a quick online search for Nintendo’s JoyCon patents, and interestingly found a US one from 2023 (2020 in Japan) about what looks Hall effect analogue sticks:

  • Nintendo has filed a patent for ‘smart fluid’ joysticks, perhaps to eliminate drift | VGC
  • @JonDorfman I wonder how they would do that while also not violating patents on JoyCons that I suppose Nintendo has.

    I have not checked, but would be surprised if they do not.

  • Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope DLC 3: Rayman in the Phantom Show - Reveal Trailer - Nintendo Switch
  • @TORFdot0, Phantom is the best character in _any_ Mario game IMHO :blobaww: @slimerancher

  • Switch 2 hinted for an early 2024 launch
  • @StarServal, you mean patents (not copyright), since it is about inventions.

    And there is at least one hall effect controller patent that already expired. It is from 1988, so hall effect joysticks are not a new thing at all.

  • Just got a Switch after decades of PlayStation loyalty.
  • @Squirrel, there is a demo, if you're interested.

    @doomgazer

  • What are you playing this weekend? 2023-07-08
  • @slimerancher, dunno about Tetris 99, but I totally switched to Tetris Effect and love it. That one is still very alive online.

  • IMHO XMPP / Jabber is the best Instant Messenger (IM) protocol
  • @privsecfoss I would absolutely love to get back to #XMPP as my main (ideally only) IM, but in time some things made it hard to do so:

    - it's extensible and not all clients support all modernly needed extensions - the #Jabber XEP solves this (on paper/standard level)
    - loads of spam - again, tackled by Jabber XEP bundle and clients that fully implement it
    - and ultimately, 90% of my contacts there never pop up anymore - network effect problem

  • Sonic Mania Dev Confirms Superstars Translates 'Retro Engine' Physics Into 3D
  • @CosmicSploogeDrizzle, that just made it more interesting to me.

    In the video it seemed like Sonic moved differently than in the classic 2D games.
