the new defunctland video is bringing back unfortunate memories when I was ten years old and had no whimsy where I went up and spoke at turtle talk with crush and called him out for being fake

@webbop that being said I know I'm a bootlicker here but I tend to prefer to play on actual hardware with the actual game if possible. it feels a lot more purposeful than just throwing a file onto a computer and forgetting about it

@webbop technical speak but it's fundamentally different hardware under the hood, even if it looks and feels very similar to its predecessor. the switch is definitely showing its age at this point, they needed something newer.
hell, even the backwards compatibility isn't running anything natively on bare metal, it's all being fed into a compatibility layer that translates as much as it can from the switch 1 to the switch 2, that's why there are a few switch games with issues that they're still trying to fix

@webbop nope. games that have a switch 1 and 2 version are since I think it's just the base game and the "upgrade" on the same game card but air riders is a switch 2 exclusive

@webbop I mean even if I wanted to take that route, this is a switch 1 emulator. air riders is a switch 2 game

kirby air riders would be so cool if I had the thing that could play it

@AceFuzzLord as cool as it is I think that one's tapping into nintendo 64 nostalgia rather than xbox/ps2/gamecube nostalgia

@Qybat oh that's wild actually. I guess that's why I was able to throw the disc at handbrake just fine as well as make an image of it but the ROM filesystem flips out; must be some sort of bug with linux's UDF support that nobody really cares about fixing haha

listen, I think indie games are cool but I think that there's an untapped market in "games that feel like EA would have published it in 2004"

I think I really did a good job with cobalt's design because you can really screw with his proportions and nine times out of ten it won't look off at all

I feel so smooth seeing a bridged mastodon reply to one of my bluesky posts and replying to that with this account. it's poor man's interoperability but I do what I can
