Assuming the number is accurate, the fact that that's with Xboxes pretty readily available and PS requiring jumping through hoops for a solid year+ after launch, and the series S being sub 300 is really rough for Microsoft.

Though their naming being so confusing I have to double check after looking at a listing that it's actually "current gen" or not definitely doesn't help.

Using it to generate code isn't inherently bad (outside of copyright concerns). Especially in "stupid amount of boiler plate" languages/etc.

But the problem is that people are lazy. They don't bother understanding the output, making sure it does what you want it to, etc. It's not that different than people copy pasting code from reference material. Part of the beauty of software development is that you don't have to solve every problem someone else has already solved. But you do need to know what your code is doing and why.

Copilot is a shortcut to code that "works" with less requirement to know what's happening.

Same question.

People rave so hard about any pokemon clone regardless of quality that it's really hard to figure out which ones are actually fun.

Separately, 32% of developers surveyed said Nintendo’s next console most interested them right now, behind only PlayStation 5 (41%) and PC (62%).

Most means one, right? 🤷🏼‍♀️

It makes it clear that they're guidelines and not requirements. I'm not sure how styling is inappropriate.

Obligatory "check your library". It isn't "literally anything ever published any time" like piracy is close to, but in a lot of places (at least in the US), there's a pretty meaningful selection of content you can borrow perfectly legally.

It should, provided the company still exists.

The space is negligible and selling something to customers without a license that permits you to serve them until the end of time should constitute fraud.

It is literally impossible for a game having kernel access not to be malware.

That doesn't even resemble a coherent argument. A price point doesn't change whether hardware manufacturers have any kind of obligation to open their platform or not.

It's also a lie. Nintendo doesn't sell jack shit at a loss and never will:

I'm vaguely curious what gets re-initialized by changing gender to fix this.

I support linking the original site as a general rule, but I don't think GamingOnLinux is blog spam. He curates information from a variety of places, provides a quick accessible summary, and very clearly links back to the article he's referencing.

In this specific case, his table of specs is far more readable and accessible than the obnoxious advertising product page is.

I love 100 hours of content.

Just don't pretend fetch quests that are just running across the map and a bunch of collectibles that are linear unfun climbing puzzles padded to hell are content.
