Seems like rather similar options to me?
But I have to admit to never having used either anyway.
there is an estimation i saw about the development cost of Breath of the Wild, at somewhere between 80 and 120 million USD. Breath of the Wild was 4 years in Development, Tears of the Kingdom spent 6 years in Development.
above 120 million for Tears of the Kingdom doesn't seem unreasonable.
Mario Movie was 100 Million.
Anyway, both are stupidly profitable for Nintendo
How does crossplay in shooters work?
are controllers genuinely competetive to mouse and keyboard?
Remnant 2 seems to be cooperative? So at worst console / controller players are less of a help?
As of August 6, 2023, The Super Mario Bros. Movie has grossed $574.2 million in the United States and Canada, and $779.3 million in other territories, for a worldwide total of $1.355 billion.
wiki
[Tears of the Kingdom] sold more than 10 million copies in its first three days of release, and had sold over 18.5 million copies by June 2023.
wiki
at 69.99 a game, would mean the total volume sold is roughly $1.295 billion, 60 million less than the Super Mario Movie.
I'm not certain if the movie gross is the same calculation though.
watch astartes (warhammer 40k)
With Ukraine being a breadbasked, I wonder how many fields are unusable.
probably lots. That sucks for a lot of people.
That would seem like something where the TOS can fuck you over, depending on where you live and the strength of consumer protections there.
I would not at all be surprised if Ubisoft would be allowed to completely delete accounts in several "first world" countries.
And of course, even if you're technically legally protected, getting that right in a court against ubisoft
exciting!
not useful yet, but give it a few years, and it may just be grand.
my understanding was that you could only use the xInput configuration with the dongle, and the wii-configuration with bluetooth

I didn't like the fact that for the "pc-setting" in the 8bitdo you have to use the dongle, and can't use bluetooth.
also the kingkong2 pro has exchangeable abxy buttons, so you can change them to the correct layout for the thing you're currently playing on (which may be extremely useful with the little brother, depending on his age)
I don't think "but we've done worse things" is a good argument to allow bad things.
Nintendo hasn't competed on anything but Nintendo IP for years really.

Shattered Pixel Dungeon

And I think it's also not considered safe enough to retrofit gravel traps into places where there are safer solutions (like tarmac run-off)
There are dangers of cars digging in and flipping if I recall.
yeah, but I see that as primarily, the drivers fault.
You fucked up so much, that the ones checking you couldn't keep up.
Has any info been leaked about the profit margin Steam Decks are for Valve?
Well, seems like it's very unlikely that they lose money the more Decks they sell, I'd expect the 64gb model to go out at pretty much their cost per device.
The Markup between the 512 model and the 64gb model is much higher than any OEM cost I would expect, so there's probably a little margin in there.

Looking for a nesting KanBan Board Program
Hi there, I'm looking for a KanBan Program which allows me to nest Boards.
So I want to have one master-Board, on which the general large-scope tasks are, a lot of those tasks should be their own boards full of subtasks though.
A couple of incredibly busy weeks are behind us. I went on a tour around the North America (which was amazing!) and meanwhile, the team back at the HQ managed to wrap up a ton of things - both figuratively and literally....

Discussion for S06E01
Hey there, I won't be watching this for a few hours, but if you already have, feel free to start discussing S06E01 of Black Mirror! What did you like? What didn't you like? Did the writers make any mistakes? How do you think you would have handled the situation?
Personally I fear this episode may be continuing on the trail of Black Mirror episodes that didn't quite finish their thought experiment, and thus fail to reach logical conclusions.
I'm looking forward to answering my own questions, maybe I'll get to it tonight

Prusa Mini issues with very slow extrusion
Hi there, I've been having a little trouble printing models with my MINI+, when there is very low extrusion between retractions. The Extruder grinds the filament through, and then the filament in the hotend burns until it gets stuck as well.
It usually only happens when I print extremely fine things like DnD (2") miniatures at .05mm layer height. For now I've switched to .15mm layer height and have not had the issues since, but I wonder if there's something that could be done, except changing the Extruder/Hotend?
Looking for a Browser to manage Web-Apps better, needs to spawn multiple instances limited to domains
Hi there, I'm looking for a Browser that lets me open it multiple times in multiple instances (each showing up in multitasking), a Browser limited to lets say wikipedia, one that's limited to imdb, one for lemmy etc. And if I hit a link from Wikipedia to Wikipedia in the Wikipedia browser it should open in the same instance. But if I open a Link to something else, it should open in a different instance (or a single general one)
I'd also like each of them to have an individual home screen button.
Is there something like that?
