Nintendo has been going hard against emulation recently and is trying to set a precedent with its recent actions. So basically some youtuber faggot has been taunting Nintendo for some time, actively streaming pre-released games while making accounts on top of accounts. Now Nintendo is suing the guy for copyright infringement and is trying to get emulation as a whole taken down as a result of the suit. They argument they have is that emulating the consoles custom OS and ripping the tools from owned systems is illegal and is protected under the law. While everyone knows that's bullshit, Nintendo is still trying to set a precedent by having the courts making ripping your legal keys illegal, thus making any console emulation of any 8+ console illegal. While Nintendo has gone after emulators in the past, I don't think they've gone this hard in recent memory. Perhaps it's a result of the Switch successor being a rehash of the Switch but with more powerful hardware, and as a result emulators of the Switch can also run Switch 2 games. Honestly, at this point Nintendo should just release their old games on PC, since there's clearly a demand for their games on PC but Nintendo doesn't want to play ball, which is retarded because they could make a decent amount of money just by making ports with minimal effort, putting them on Steam, and making a shit ton of money as a result of Nintendrones rebuying their games. Releasing these old games on PC would probably stop emulation development in its tracks rather than having people in Russia combining emulation with spyware. Mind you, I'm not even talking about brand new Switch 2 games or whatever they want to put out in the future. I'm talking purely about games that are around three to five years old, that aren't growing significantly in sales and could easily be ported to the PC if desired. It's upsetting since Vanillaware pulled this same shit with Unicorn Overlord for some reason, although the fact that Vanillaware outright BLOCKED the game on PC is insane to me. At least with Nintendo they have dedicated hardware and shit they're trying to push. I think with Vanillaware they're actively a hindrance to themselves, although a few Japanese developers seem to be adverse to the PC market for some reason. In any case, if Nintendo gets their way expect the only way to play games like Xenoblade and Zelda is at a sub 10FPS limit with a shitty brick rather than having the games run at least bearable frame rates. It sucks because developers like Monolith Soft and Good Feel can put out some solid games that are exclusive to the Switch. That being said I doubt Bakeru did that well on Steam due to being released at a terrible time, and with very little fanfare. That being said, I really hope the Judge throws out the case for being a repeat of the Sony vs Bleem case, although with the DRM shit that Nintendo put into the consoles, who knows.

https://www.nintendo.co.jp/corporate/release/en/2024/240919.html https://archive.is/hlTK6 Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against Palworld. In this case, it's patent-based, not copyright. The specific patents aren't stated, but since Japanese patents expire after 20 years, it would seem to be for features that first appeared in or after Emerald. So it's not something as fundamental as "catching monsters in a ball".

So Zipperhead Slitterhead is out Has anyone given it a try? It has Denuvo shamefully, so I'm not touching it. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2631250/Slitterhead/

This month it will have been one year since the last thread. Any decent upcoming Mecha Geimus anon? Also, r8 my AC

A new thread for the series that defines the Otaku. Last thread was on post 500 and it's been a while since someone made a new thread, so I figured I'd do it myself. If you haven't had the chance, get Artificial Dream in Arcadia on steam since it's really good and the dev is making free DLC that lets people make their own dungeons. What 2hu and 2hu spin offs have you been playing /v/?

Post what you've got. I have more stuff on my computer but it's going to take some time find it all.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/3199650/Pathologic_3/ Coming out next year. Hopefully it's a full sequel instead of the weird half-sequel half-remake 2 was. I still liked it, though. Also hope journos don't fucking whine it's too hard again.

Introducing Netflix's take on the Tomb Raider series, starring the lovely Lara Croft! Sarcastic header over. I did watch this schlock so you didn't have to. It wasn't very good. Lara in particular struggled to land, because it's like they erased all her character development from the entire reboot series. By the end of the first game (let alone second or third) she went from a fearful girl into a ruthless fucking murderess. Then in this series she's crying and having panic attacks twice an episode while needing to talk about her feelings all the time. Same for Croft manor. End of the series, it was restored and she was living there with it as her base in the last scene. Cartoon? It's a ruin. Still. It's fucking weird and tonally a whiplash, and the animation isn't good enough to gloss over it (and the characters are collectively ugly, the designs are terrible). I can't work out who this cartoon was supposed to be made for. It wasn't for fans of the reboot series, since it ignores character development she had there, and it certainly wasn't for fans of old Lara (or "real Lara"). So who the fuck is the audience? All that and I didn't even get into the whitewashing of Chinese history (Daji is not fucking misunderstood), including that ludicrous "secret Alexandria archive" in China funded by the government that "restores artifacts to their rightful owners unlike the British Museum". How much did China pay Netflix to include that? I'd like to know. Anyways, use this thread to discuss Tomb Raider as well as the new show

Didn't have this kind of thread for a long while so its time to make another one. Talk about which fitness games to play, what kind of diet works and what doesn't. Do you use any games as warmup for gym? Post game progress, advice, exercises and how to sail through your 20s, 30s being vfit. Your body will thank you in the coming years

>Pic not related but its something from a cop I don't remember the name of the game but I remember this >Fps >Zombies (looks normal not like mutants i think maybe some mutants) >Source engine? (Or mod of half life source?) >Looks like left 4 dead (or mod of l4d?) >Look like Estranged (in history topic) >2009-2012 fps vibe maybe? >You're a police guy (or soldier?), lost, in a route and walk to a "empty" town >game completely at night with shadows (entire game occurs at night except the end at morning i think) >there's a level in a hospital with a lot of zombies >there's a electric granade or something like that >gravity gun with color blue or something? >Bill from left 4 dead as npc? (or a para-military npc that look like bill) I don't remember more about the game. I'm sure it was an official game or a mod but it was very long. >Also You were a cop (off duty) traveling a route and your car broke down or you had an accident, then you would walk to a nearby town (in the middle of nowhere in the countryside) and find it empty and then face a wave of zombies. There was a whole level in a hospital and the whole game took place in the dark except for the ending which was in the morning. There was an npc friend that look like para-military or something that gave you a gravity gun and I think some electric grenades or something.

Old one here >>969360 What a strange rollout this game has had, I can't think of anything else quite like it. It seems to have worked for Valve, the game is pulling great numbers. <Who are you maining? <What changes do you want to see? <What classes do you hope get redesigns?

Post your favorite quotes, talk about your favorite or old games, shitpost, discuss upcoming stuff. Upcoming stuff: >Company of Heroes 3 >Homeworld 3 >Sins of a Solar Empire 2 >Ratten Reich >The Great War Western Front >WarNo >Broken Arrow >Xenonauts 2 >Touhou Empires >Men of War 2 >Tempest Rising >SeaPower A remaster of Tiberian Sun/Red Alert 2 much like the OG would be nice, though I doubt they wouldn't fuck up the spritework on them since that has way higher definition and small details than the original.

They also shut down Neon Koi, a mobile dev. Two studios in one day! Though both are completely understandable and I don't think anybody will blame SIE for doing it. https://sonyinteractive.com/en/news/blog/an-update-from-playstation-studios/

I wanna talk about the new Dragon Age. It's uh... it looks rough. It's been 10 years since Inquisition but Bioware has finally revealed the next game. Featuring... prosthetics, SEA elves, black elves, & a cartoony Fortnite hero shooter looking aesthetic. Yay...

I am going to start with my 2 favourite homos. Takatoshi Hijiyama and Tsukasa Okino. I find their relationship really cute. How Hijiyama will spend a good chunk of his story wondering if he is gay while Okino teases him.
