I think it’s more than just not doing yearly refreshes, it’s that they don’t want to do releases that are only incremental in nature, which is an extremely common behavior, especially among consoles.

The source is literally just VSCode with a different label. What benefit does that have?

Right, exactly, which is why they launched with a FOSS license. Oh, wait–

Imagine the money going to VSCode which actually is the one getting contributions

Except this isn’t money going to a FOSS project, it’s money to some guys whose only keyboard is StackOverflow’s The Key.

I swear the discord kitten stuff was just a meme and some degenerates thought it was a good idea

Yeah, effectively I’d want to use it as you could on Wii U, both displaying the second screen and interacting with the touchscreen. Splatoon in particular is extremely underrated with second screen use, being able to see and interact with the map in real-time is so much more useful than blocking your screen in future Splatoon games

Definitely, I think there was even a hacked splatfest at one point, which would be SO cool to do regularly. I just meant to say that, as far as I’ve seen, the gamepad can’t easily be used to play with if you were to emulate.

Side note, if anyone knows how I can play Splatoon on an emulator using my Wii U gamepad, I’m all ears lol

I have a friend like this, I’m a Nintendo collector and enjoying the hardware is my hobby. I know it’s an expensive endeavor, and I don’t expect anyone else to do it. I genuinely think any game should be up for piracy and emulation support, and it’s incredible what can be done to make games look, sound, and play better than the original. But when I’m sitting there having fun with Metroid Fusion on my GBA SP and you sit there going “why would you ever do that when emulating is cheaper and better” I don’t think you’re conversing in good faith.

One half of my mind wishes developers did make more money because these games are so much more effort than the games that were the same price decades ago, but the other half knows that devs don’t see a dime of that hiked price.

Oh no, I didn’t even know those existed

Oh they’re terrible

Thanks I hate it

u rite

tbh GoDaddy looks sussy too if you didn’t know better lol

I think the modern paradigm of frameworks and libraries really makes things confusing, because you can learn every single bit of vanilla JS and then Angular is still like a different language, just like all the rest. I started teaching myself in 2005 so I did have the advantage of a bit of the old world of programming, but I also wasn’t allowed to own a computer and I spent years and years on graphing calculators and notepads learning the basic principles of what is now second nature to me. There’s lots of great options people have already mentioned, C# or Python both are pretty good, but pick one and stick to it. A few months of daily work on it will get you far enough to get a grasp, and a few years of it will get you started on a career. But just get started with it and keep at it, I promise you will get it!
