  • When asked about Nintendo’s solution for backwards compatibility with Switch games and the GameCube classics available on the system, the developers confirmed these games are actually emulated. (This is similar to what Xbox does with backwards compatibility).

    “It’s a bit of a difficult response, but taking into consideration it’s not just the hardware that’s being used to emulate, I guess you could categorize it as software-based,” Sasaki said of the solution.

    They are (mostly?) talking about Gamecube right?..
    right?

    Or is that the reason for the Switch-Emulator-Witchhunt, they actually “bought” the tech?




















  • I’d say that’s a philosophical question.

    And worse even, I’d say this is something that changes with the culture of people.

    a while ago, gladiators killing & maiming each other for entertainment was considered fine.
    Raping and Abducting during wartime was normal.

    Currently, I’d say the cultural moral compass has shifted enough, to consider these two examples rather bad behaviour.

    But as Tasty seems to have had a nice life and didn’t suffer, so had it better than most cows which end up in a similar fate, I’d say that currently this would not be considered “bad” behaviour by most people.

    Of course there is a viewpoint already out, that all killing of animals is equivalent, in other words equivalent to killing humans. From that point of view, what you did is rather horrific.
    Maybe, in some time, when something like lab-grown meat without any nervous system is commonplace, killing animals for food becomes as horrific as we consider killing other humans for food.
    Or, you know, it could also swing the other way, and an apocalypse makes Soylent from dead people completely normal food.
