To fully grasp how big a trillion actually is.
A million seconds is 11 days
A billion seconds is 31 years
A trillion seconds is 31709 years
There’s something deeply evil about the idea of a trillionaire actually existing
Elon Musk is now officially worth $405.6 billion, projected to become the world’s first trillionaire by 2027.

‘No Xbox backwards compatibility’
Bitch you will be able to emulate every single Xbox and Xbox 360 game on this thing lmao.
I don't think the Steam Machine is a threat to the Xbox Magnus for a few reasons...
📉 Weaker hardware
💚 No Xbox backwards compatibility

Microsoft is blatantly exiting the console industry
SEGA has the potential to do the funniest thing ever
Xbox will show PlayStation and Nintendo logos in their showcases, says Phil Spencer
“I want to be transparent with people – for shipping on Nintendo, on PlayStation, on Steam…People should know the storefronts where they can get our games”

Patreon has completely ruined modding.
Modding used to be a mutually beneficial, community driven thing. So many people now greedily charge for mods. Willing to risk companies Nintendo to come after modding the same way they did emulatio because you’re profiting from their work.

DD?
Did they rename him Diddy Dong?
Community note
This is not a recent change.
The initials "DD" have been used to refer to Diddy Kong in the "Donkey Kong" franchise since at least 2014 with the release of "Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze".

To me the DK redesign is like a 9/10.
I have really grown to like it, and I fully understand why they wanted to change after 30 years
But you just can’t top the Rare design. It’s a perfect 10/10. I hope when Funky is reintroduced they maintain his classic DK look.

$35 cardboard
$100 accessories that are mandatory for the games you are already paying to rent
$30 dlc
$20 dlc that’s clearly just cut content from the main game

Wii outsold PS3

3DS outsold Vita
SNES&NES classics both outsold PS Classic
Switch outsold PS4
Switch 2 on pace to outsell PS5
Mario movie outgrossed Uncharted
Apart from the Wii U you’d have to go back 25 years to see Sony outperform Nintendo lol
PlayStation is the boogeyman of gaming. PS destroyed N64, Saturn, GC, WiiU, Dreamcast, the original Xbox, Xbox One and Xbox Series X put Xbox on its deathbed, put Sega in a grave, and ran Nintendo out of the console space. You can put Playstation in the horror hall of fame🤣

$13 million on a mainline game for a goliath IP like Pokemon is actually a joke. No wonder they look like PS2 games
Leaked Pokemon budget information:
Pokémon Legends Z-A: 2 billion yen (approx. $13 mil)
Pokemon Gen 10: 3 billion yen (approx. $20 mil)
With how much main Pokemon games sell, this is a budget designed to never have to worry about not making profit.

There’s no ethical way to be a trillionaire. It doesn’t make me a communist to point there’s maybe a flaw in a system that would allow an individual to accumulate a trillion dollars in assets in a single lifetime.
Elon clearly has a weird cult of dweebs who defend him to the end

Bananza isn’t a kids game. It’s a family game. It’s made with the intent that anyone can enjoy it.
Nintendo isn’t blues clues. Nintendo is Pixar.
I’ll never understand why people would look down their noses a something just because a child can also enjoy it.
Donkey Kong 100% deserves a goty nominee, crazy how so many people don't think this because this is a "kids game" 💀

It pains me to say it because Bananza is one of my favourite games ever but his level was blatantly intended to just be post game
This DLC is straight out of the capcom ‘let’s cut 12 street fighter x tekken characters so we can charge extra for them’ playbook. 2012 mentality.
Explore Donkey Kong’s home, DK Island, and push your skills to the limit in the fast-paced challenge of Emerald Rush in Donkey Kong Bananza: DK Island & Emerald Rush DLC! #NintendoDirect

If only Microsoft had an iconic whimsical 3D platforming IP that already has a built in fan base that they could do something with.
Phil "We Don't Need Good Games" Spencer looking like Homelander, not clapping as Astro Bot wins after 3 hours of developers shaming layoffs, hearing SONY thank Nintendo on stage, and Xbox not having won in 10 years is the DEFINITION of a sore loser.

We’ve got to stop using sales figures as a measurement of quality.
Taylor Swift just dropped one of the worst albums of all time and it’s simultaneously the most streamed music debut ever.
I’m a lifelong Mario/MK fan. World just isn’t it.
Mario Kart World is still king! Sonic Racing entered the Japan sale charts selling only 5,571 units. For comparison, Mario Kart sold over 35,000 that same week. NOT EVEN CLOSE!

The horrifying implication of this goes so far beyond the Banjo IP
If they don’t believe there’s a market for Banjo, there’s no way they believe people care about Crash, Spyro, Conker, etc
Microsoft hoards IPs they don’t believe there’s an audience for. The question is why?
Xbox's marketing head apparently told an audience "nobody cares about Banjo-Kazooie" mynintendonews.com/2024/10/1…

Piracy is arguably the most healthy thing for the industry
Every single time I have pirated a game, if I’ve enjoyed it enough to actually continue playing it, it has led to me buying it.
It safeguards us against shitty practices and the only way preservation exists.
Former Capcom developer Masakazu Sugimori believes a lot of the things Nintendo is doing that many see as bad, he sees as Nintendo protecting the industry:
Key cards: Preventing piracy, reducing the risk of carrying unsold stock
Raising game prices: Amidst rising costs, Nintendo took the lead in raising prices so other struggling game companies could follow
Cutting online services for past hardware: This sets a ‘lifespan.’ By doing this, it becomes easier for each game company to re-release their games on new hardware. In other words, it creates the job of “porting.”
He acknowledges his interpretation may be idealistic but given Nintendo's insane cash reserves, he doesn't think Nintendo acts out of greed.

These two share a bond.
-Both had the biggest licensing hurdles to overcome
-The biggest reveals of their respective passes
-Both exist only as a direct response to Mario 64
-The only 2 DLC who got in by the grace and determination of fans who spent decades supporting them.

‘Games are too big now they’re unsustainable’
Nope. Nobody asked for these big ass games. Open worlds, all the customisable bullshit etc don’t make for better games.

Star Fox is the answer here
Because like DK, it USED to be one of the key Nintendo IPs until it fell to neglect after Rare left Nintendo.

Aka a big revival that instantly makes the franchise one of the top ones.
