@miscbrains @dcc @ins0mniak That's what's killing them: they're sacrificing the differentiators. "Hey, let's just make it basically a PC and then start sending people notifications and they can update the OS and download a 40GB patch." - † top dog :pedomustdie: likes this.

@miscbrains @dcc @ins0mniak Well, look at Nintendo. They love doing weird shit and people love their devices. † top dog :pedomustdie: likes this. -

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @dcc@annihilation.social @ins0mniak@majestic12.airforce Bespoke shit is cool, and i'm all for it - but it basically took til the end of the ps3 lifespan for mega brain devs to really make it shine. And while it ended up working out longtail wise, corps are just risk averse. No matter how beneficial it might actually be- we're firmly in the lowest common denominator option is the only way now.

Yeah, low on cash but planning to grab one for the Cyberypunk and the Death Stranding and whatnot.† top dog :pedomustdie: likes this. -

@p @dcc @miscbrains ps5 has some good games and it does play ps4 so it was worth it to me. My ps4 was about to an hero itself.
And by hood games I mean like the Japanese ones -

I wish there was an English translation of Yokoi's book, "Lateral Thinking with Mature Technology". It looks very good; it's probably required reading for their engineers. :gunpeiyokoi:† top dog :pedomustdie: likes this. -

@p@fsebugoutzone.org @dcc@annihilation.social @ins0mniak@majestic12.airforce yeah nintendo is an oddball, they are just using cast off nvidia gear and making it work. I don't think anyone else could pull that off honestly. They have some impressive juju.
