I don't regret buying them, they are good games, but I don't Condone shitty practices. If you restricted yourself to moral or ethic right companies only you would have nothing to buy sadly. You buying a game != you accepting the ideologies of the leadership of said game.
Just get games you know you enjoy, and ignore all the dramatics that are involved. Life's to short to lock yourself down with it all.
I spent roughly 16 USD on my order, I normally got two bacon mcdoubles no onions, a large fry and a large lemonade. This same meal used to be 11/12$ less than 4 years ago
For real though, like I don't see their monetary gain here. The only thing they're encouraging is people to just not bother buying the switch in the first place in favor of other projects. I believe if they manage to go through with this and actually enforce these new terms, that were just going to see A Renewed effort of a completely independent emulator that can run their games. One that would allow third party modification and firmware
IANAL but, If I'm understanding this article right, it sounds like their new terms are going to give them the authority to brick your Nintendo console if you reverse engineer it. If this is the case I firmly expect this is going to be challenged in US courts because if I understand the current laws right, this directly contradicts the end users right to reverse engineer Hardware that they own. Nintendo would be allowed to terminate your account and block access to the network with them over it as that's something that they actively maintain, however I don't believe they can legally remove access to a piece of Hardware that you purchased, soley due to the fact that you reverse engineered and installed a third-party software to it.
Now don't get me wrong, they can definitely refuse warranty if(and only if) that modification caused a malfunction, however it's a big jump to go from we're not going to repair your device and you're no longer allowed to access our Network to this $400 object that you purchased is now a brick.
it still wouldn't pass the requirements, the patent is bullshit. It's any object tossed at a creature. Could be ninja stars or an old boot and it would violate the patent.
They also own the patent of riding a claimed char (in both the air and ground if I understand it right) so they are technically still in violation of Nintendo's patents. It's so dumb
Furthermore, they also own the patent of aiming a device and catching in a percentage chance.
honestly if I was op I wouldn't respond to that question regardless if AI was(or wasn't) used, the "did you use AI question" very easily falls into a slippery slope where others hop on and harrass people over it, so it's easier to just ignore the question.
discord is not a forum (even if they want it to be with the forum channels), its never been a good location to store information. That being said, its amazing for real time communication unlike forums. I hate that devs use it for FAQ and bug forms and stuff. I stopped reporting bugs if it requires me to join a discord.
Timeshift uses incremental backups under the hood (using rsync) calling them snapshots. As long as you are using the rsync one and not the BTRF style one, it works the same. I can load my current setup from a live disk and restore just the same.
Basically the first backup ever done is a "full backup" then every backup past that is an incremental one.
Being said, my off site backup isn't using a cloud provider, my risk case doesn't need that, I store backups locally and then clone to an offsite every once and awhile
I have timeshift running hourly regardless if using the system. Once the initial backup is complete, any actual performance drops are very negligible since it uses incremental backups, I don't even notice the program is running most the time. As for automated maintenance, I don't really have anything like that, I run an update manually every few days, but I could probably configure unattended-updates to do it for me, I just don't like the idea of automating that.
With how fast boot times are nowadays? I shutdown nightly and save me the hassle of having to worry about some weird oddity occurring, usually it doesn't but every once and a blue moon plasma hangs on the lockscreen and I get greeted with either a broken desktop or a pitch black screen, both usually are easiest to resolve via rebooting anyway.
