  • I learned this fact when I decided to check my spam emails once and found one claiming they had a video of me performing onanism and would send it to my friends and family if I didn’t pay up.

    Gave me the idea to explore languages on Google Translate until I found the one that produces the word “onanism” when translating to English. Then I could reply to the scammer in their native tongue for a reverse blackmail.






  • I think the more important insight is how desperately he is trying to appeal to the young male demographic, and going so far as to pay a pro gamer to boost his account in a video game so he can pretend to be one of them.

    Why? Probably a lot of potential reasons, but anyone with even a little bit of critical thinking skills should immediately become suspicious when they see that. Because whatever the actual reason, it probably isn’t good.



  • “perfect emulation”

    With a setup like this, you can keep moving the goal post until you win all your little internet arguments. Personally, I’m not a fanboy for neither Nintendo nor Valve, so I really don’t care to get into this kind of atgument.

    My point is that there’s no reason to think the Switch 2 can’t be emulated on the Deck, at least not until we get more information.

    I think the current Steam Deck will not be able to achieve (it doesn’t even have such resolutions)

    The Steam Deck supports 4k60 just fine, just not on the built-in display ofc.




  • Why not? Just because the Switch 2 can do 4k60 doesn’t mean it’s super powerful. Thd Switch 1 was obsolete when it launched, so a hardware upgrade over that could be literally anything. For reference, even the Raspberry Pi can do 4k60 nowadays.

    Afaik, Switch 2 specs haven’t been revealed (have they?) so we don’t know yet what to expect, but considering it’s a handheld it will likely have similar power constraints to the Deck, possibly even more to achieve longer battery life. (But tbf, the deck is relatively old by now and could itself benefit from an upgrade). As far as emulation, we at least know Nintendo considered it worth the effort to try to take down all Switch 1 emulators before even revealing fhe Switch 2, probably suggesting it’s not going to be hard to emulate.

    The trailer mentions that the Switch 2 can do 4k60 when docked only on some games. Just knowing Nintendo’s cheap asses, I doubt you’ll get that from any significant 3D title. It’ll probably be limited mostly to 2D titles, simple 3D ones, or maybe some hyper-polished first party titles. I doubt you’ll see that in the new Bloodborne, possibly not even 120 while in handheld either.

    I don’t play golf but I know people that do and I can assure you none of them are even remotely rich (although most are white men)

    The problems we have with housing shortages and climate change won’t be solved even if you get rid of every golf course in America.
