  • Are you talking about MK8 on the WiiU, or MK8 Deluxe on the Switch?

    For what it’s worth, I’ve only played the WiiU one, and I really enjoy it. It’s go as far as to say it’s the only Mario Kart I’ve really enjoyed. I don’t have a Switch, so I can’t talk to that version.



  • As a slight tangent, I recently got an electric moped. It has a maximum speed of 48kph, and the speed limit on my route to work and back every day is 50kph.

    I bet that if we made a Venn diagram of all the people that say “I’d respect cyclists of they were forced to be registered with number plates and insurance” and the people that insist on overtaking me in single-lane suburban streets because I’m going 2kph below the limit, it would just be a perfect circle.



  • I really, really wish we could degender “guy” and “guys”. I know plenty of people of all genders that use the words in general to describe people, objects, concepts, everything. The only holdouts are people that insist on it specifically meaning males. Ironically, these people are often the hardcore feminists.

    If other English words can change their meanings and be claimed/reclaimed by certain groups, why can’t others?

    Take guy! Use it to describe whatever you want! Free it of its historically phallic shackles!


  • There are three issues here:

    1. The leaked ROM of Tears of the Kingdom and a .nfo that specifically told people to use Yuzu
    2. The developers recently released an Android version that works really, really well. There are many Android based gaming handhelds on the market now, and several are powerful enough to run Switch games using Native Code Execution (think virtual machine for ARM). Switch emulation was being used as a benchmark in techie videos of these products! TotK still isn’t great on the most powerful ones, but give it another year or two, and you’ll get the full Switch experience without a Switch.
    3. The developers fucking sold the emulator. Sure, it was only for early access, but a sale is a sale. Then there the whole patreon thing.

    Those three things combined put Yuzu right in Nintendo’s sights







  • I have a Boox Nova Air. It’s a 7" B&W e-reader. It’s nice to have a boring Android tablet that also happens to be an e-reader.

    I wouldn’t recommend ePaper for anything but the very lightest of web browsing. The like refresh rate really is a lot to take in.

    Using the pen is nice. It feels a lot like black magic, really. It’s just like drawing on paper.

    If like to get a colour version to read comics, but let’s face it, I can’t even remember where my current one is, let alone the last time I turned it on…
