Wth is this article, the ring is being made in celebration of them as a watch company. It's a cute little gimmicky ring because making an anniversary watch is exactly what people expect them to do.

They didn't make a ring to compete with the Oura or Samsung's whatever. The article even mentions the Timex ring watch which was similarly made because they're celebrating 170 years of being in the business. Why even bring up smart rings/watches at all?

Except they know his real name and his face, that kind of threat doesn't work when they can just tell your country to arrest you for breaking the law.

In this case it's a specific person that has repeatedly streamed games before their release dates, meaning he's obtaining the games early illegally and actively encouraging other people to do the same. He makes how-tos specifically with the intention of getting more people to pirate games before they release. He's attached his real name and face to everything so it's no surprise Nintendo probably intends to come down harder on him than that Bowser guy they reamed a while ago.

This jackass is precisely why we can't have nice things, he's justifying all of the bullshit reasons these companies are against things like emulation.

what you're against is piracy.

piracy of current gen games is what you're against. As a consumer I should have the right to purchase a game (software) and do whatever the fuck I want with it, if I want to emulate Tears of the Kingdom because it runs and looks better on my computer than on my switch I should be allowed to do so. I purchased the console and the game, they've received my business, they should no longer have a say with what I do with my stuff.

Nintendo themselves use emulators for their products, there is nothing inherently wrong with emulation.

No one is complaining about Nintendo's developers, they're complaining about Nintendo the company.

The company is garbage. Anti-consumer as hell, proactively fighting against video game preservation, bullying fans out of making passion projects, the list goes on.

Literally no one is mad at Nintendo for the games they make, they're infuriated because they make great games while the company shits on its own legacy.

tbh most of what I saw from artists were memes or wholesome drawings, compared to something like a video game character getting announced.

For a single piece sure.

I presume the idea here is that you have access to their full library. Personally, I fail to see why I would change my wallpaper enough to warrant even a free app to change it, let alone 50 bucks.

this looks like a shittier, less comfortable version of those handheld trackballs from the early 2000s.

25 years too late, downtown is a fucking ghost town now, no idea what the hell they're thinking.

I remember it being convenient for getting screenshots off it to pc quickly, but I don't know if there's a better method of doing so. I rarely, if ever, use the share function to begin with.
