Were you manually clicking through the installer? After using a browser to visit the product page and downloading the package? It sure looks that way, so: You deserve a little sexy for all that retro-style hard work, right? Enjoy. ☺️

They? The Mac users should work on a compatibility layer? Ok. Proton is by Valve, and not by Linux users, though.

Anyway, regarding a port I'd rather have a Switch (2) version, as long as I don't have to do it myself. Consider me pestering.

That would make the other guests "vulnerable". But not more so than if they were in a coffee shop's or airports Wifi. And nobody is getting hacked there, either.

"If the network is properly secured—meaning it’s protected by a strong password that’s known only to authorized users—AirSnitch may not be of much value to an attacker."

Erm. That does not exactly seem bad for Wifi encryption. Or at all. 🤷‍♂️

Guess you are right on both points. If it would have been a real thing, it would probably be something made by Nintendo in the Wii era.

With a set of DIY USB HW and maybe a 3D printed case, you might build something cool.

Just need the good game to go with it, but that's no issue for you. ☺️

It's the only thing I could come up with. ☺️ Never seen a device like you have in mind, but it sure would be interesting even if probably tailored to a very specific single game.

There are games for two players sharing a touchscreen, on Switch and IOS (guess on Android too, but don't have any). I guess a shared SteamDeck or equivalent would work for a PC game?

If there is no BIOS setting to swap the FN and CTRL key on that upper laptop, I hope everyone involved in deciding that steps on a lego barefoot every day until they fix that.

Can you share a screenshot of how that looks like? Mine doesn’t seem to offer that “feature”.

🥹 it’s beautiful.

Yay ☺️. I thought you would, but couldn’t stop myself from asking anyway. Thank you!

Will wandering NPC be able to block player movement? That can sometimes be annoying if one wanders into and blocks a tight passage. I always thought systems that swapped player places with the wandering NPC on contact were neat.

Should obviously not be the case with the hostile or stationary kind.

You’re very welcome. Best of luck with the game, it sure looks like my kind of thing and I will wishlist it ASAP. 👍

Steam says: This item is currently unavailable in your region.

The game’s people might be in Europe, too? 😉

That's true, too. Hyrule Castle, Death Mountain, the land of the Zoras, Kakariko and so on can change visually with tech and art direction while keeping their identity. That's probably not exactly what you had in mind, but (to me at least) how the location "feels" familiar is even more important.

The Zeldas and some spin offs playing in Hyrule. You get the same world, sometimes in different times, sometimes in other dimensions (LttP had an Upside Down before it was cool and the boring again 😉).

I need it, too (at least I think so 😉). Honestly, this is one of the games in the current news cycle I am looking forward to the most. It looks like a dream game of past-me, and I can’t wait to get to play it. Thank you for sticking with it, despite everything. 🙏

If it’s by AdHoc, sure, better check. Others seem to have had no issue getting this right. 🤷

I guess that hits the nail on the head. Let’s hope they do the right thing and save some community trust.

Them outing the “censorship warning” were nobody thought to look is another thing. I believe them when they say it was an honest mistake. Just make it right.

Nothing to be confused about. That’s what happened.

Was it a good call? I kind of doubt it, but it was their call.

Love that for you, preordered the hardcover a while ago and feeling even better about that now.

Congratulations!

Mario, Pikachu and Donkey Kong — the joy of Nintendo In Super Nintendo, Keza MacDonald explores the history of the Japanese company that gave us Super Mario, Pokémon and so much more

Bloody hell, a good review of Super Nintendo in the Times.

"The upside of MacDonald’s standing is that you won’t find anyone, I don’t think, with a better insight into the nuts and bolts of these games... Here is a book bursting with love."

I hope we get to hear whether AdHoc actually saved money by self-censoring and only producing one version (and I hope they don’t). Sure, the potential market for a 16 rated release might be larger than 18+, but did that seem to hurt their PC sales (where it has the 18+ rating)?

30.01.2026 16:05 👍 1 🔁 0 💬 0 📌 0

This is entirely AdHoc’s (strange) decision, in order to avoid the 18 age rating, like Cyberpunk for example has on Switch.

Curious as it is 18+ on PC and the Switch has very robust parental controls, too.

They probably thought they’d make more money this way. Curious to see how that works out.

I’m a bit surprised at this, but that might be because my first playthrough was after they published the final patch.

I did not encounter any problems and really enjoyed the game. Maybe given Larian games a few years to mature is the way to go.

And available now for everyone is this extended (11000+ word) look at Resident Evil Village, covering everything from weapon feel to character assassinations of varying types and the pointlessness of decorative corpses:

We have that already. USA might informally rejoin post-fascism. Or not.
