So all the fud from ps ponies about infinity cache, custom rdna2/3 and zen 2.... we even heard about zen 3 bits. We are still waiting for the magical SSD to offload stuff from the cpu. And now ps5 seems to be zen1/rdna1. Pretty cool right ?.... what’s even cooler is when direct ML will be unveiled on next MS event.

This topic is dedicated to all those that didn’t fall for Cernys PR FUD and wannabe insiders like RedGaming tech. Now go play all stars for 79,99..... from next month. :p

User banned (3 days): hostility and name-calling over a series of posts

Being a deadpan prick doesn't excuse being a prick. It doesn't make being a prick funny. And telling me that you are just kidding around, that I shouldn't take it so seriously is gaslighting 101. Come on mate, words can hurt and you don't have the right to tell me how to feel about them.

How you gonna get banned in a thread about lasagna?   :heh

I sincerely  hope Nepenthe has a solid support system around her. She seems incredibly negative and hostile everytime time I see her posts. Hopefully she can get help.

I doubt it, otherwise they would have stopped her stepdad from signing up her for a 7 year car loan for a Versa at 7%.

We're at the point in the story where I've stopped taking snipes at Nep because I'm starting to think there's some real racial trauma going on there.

I hit that point with Enzom about 6 hours before 'the reveal'.

Holy shit, what a piece of shit he is! He just brushes off the pandemic to say the real problem is racism, with attacks against Asian-Americans, which he conveniently doesn't mention the fact that they were all committed by black guys with criminal records, to make people think it's those evil white people instead, all so he can push this equity bullshit.

He hasn't been in office a month and I can already say without a doubt that he is BY FAR the worst president ever and god only knows how far down the US will have fallen after 4 years of his bullshit. We may never be able to recover.

User banned (1 month): dismissing concerns around representation

While I think a black player character from Nintendo or a black Zelda would be neat, it is ridiculous that a text about Legend of Zelda, a Japanese series made by (mostly) Japanese people, says America/n 9 times and fails to mention Japan (or even Africa) even once. It does show that many Americans, no matter how progressive they claim to be, still see the rest of the world as only existing to serve and cater to the US.

Given how fraught the relationship between Black and white people in America is in this cultural moment, seeing a Black Princess Zelda would be a firm accreditation of Black womxn as the bold, brilliant heroes they are. It would be a statement of allyship from Nintendo,
Like there are no PoCs in Japan and racism doesn't exist in Japan?? If they make a PoC Zelda maybe it it would be a statement of allyship for the PoCs in Japan first and foremost. The entire world doesn't revolve around the US

Add black princess Zelda to end racism in the US  :doge

User Banned (3 Days): Antagonizing another user
Quote
I feel like everyone's turning off their brain. All you need is a little common sense to know that the most common function of this emulator (or any emulator) is piracy.

And now you have a provocative thread proclaiming the successful emulation of a major game *that's not even out yet*...

Come on, man.

It'd be like believing that most mp3 users in the pre-music streaming days were just backing up their legally purchased CDs
I decided to avoid your game Ghostsong (a game I really like and enjoyed the demo) because your force defense of Tim and their EGS moves. And now I’m feeling I have to avoid your next game after Ghostsong because your emulation=piracy defense. IMO you have to separate your personal account from your dev account if you’re not able to understand your target.

The masses can't be trusted it.  Now people like you and I clearly are smart, cultured and handsome enough to wield such dangerous powers but we need laws so the dumb can hurt themselves with such abilities.

Putting extra parm on the top layer and then broil it a bit, is a super common way to do lasagne. :ufup

I agree with that.  But now with the guy saying to put a cross hatch of bacon on top or breadcrumbs.  This isn't a meatloaf or mac n'cheese

Perfectly balanced as all things should be
Wait, people actually think emulation is for something other than pirating games?

It's like saying the old PS1 mod chips weren't solely for piracy.

I didn't understand the sexist joke, "If I said you had a beautiful body, would you hold it against me?"

It took me way too long to realize the connotation.

eh I own wind waker twice but there is still reason to play it in dolphin, you can mod it, hell you can play it in vr

it's also about more than stealing games, it can be fun to tear them apart with debug features and see how they work, it's how we get 50% of internet videos about crazy secrets buried in old games

not to mention the entire hobby of speed running and the necessity of save states, these people aren't emulating for the sole purpose of getting a game for free

even if it was 99% just piracy there are good interesting use cases for emulation

Ok, maybe I was a little bit hyperbolic there, but I still maintain that 90+ per cent of emulation is to facilitate piracy.

Piracy in the sense of people downloading the ROM, instead of bothering to rip their old games, yeah.
But i mean people mostly emulate old games, many merely for nostalgia (so games they owned at some point), and then a percentage of it goes to emulating old games you didn't own, but that are hard to find anyway, because particularly old.

I never understood people bending over backwards to pay 180$ on ebay for a copy of a game they could get a rom of, on an ethical level, it's not like the developers are seeing a dime, even if you think Nintendo is struggling for those 30 years old revenue streams.

Emulation of contemporary games seems like a minor thing, since emulators for modern consoles are mostly garbage.

Personally 90% of the retrogaming i've done was for nostalgia, playing games i owned.
But then again i'm not into old (SNES and prior) games in the first place.

This will be my final care post, but I agree with you mostly.

However, I am very happy that people are willing to bend over backwards to pay exorbitant amount for old games on eBay. This year I've made close to $1000 selling old Gameboy games and old EGM magazines and I'm planning on listing some more soon.
