>>169365 >>169366 I think it's just because I'm used to hearing gruff, new york Mario.

>>169356 Just like minidisc is the ideal way to listen to music.

>>169369 Minidisc was comfy. I'm thinking about trying to find an MD drive for my computer.

>>169370 You don't need one, netMD players exist and are also inherently inside Hi-MD players. You just use soyny's music software or have a few foss options (which kind of blow for hi-md) and just drag n drop files to be burned. t. just got an mz-nh600d and 80 discs off ebay

>>169371 Wouldn't that just make it an MP3 player?

>>169372 But with discs, and with a line in on most models for recording, yes.

PS5 outsold by every single iteration of Switch in this week's Famitsu numbers, including the Switch Lite. Not a single PS5 game in the top ten, with the only PS4 game (Winning Post) selling fewer units than the Switch version. https://archive.ph/qP7vd

>>169374 Turns out emulation and piracy don't actually make a dent in sales numbers.

>>169375 Of course. Emulation of fresh systems, requires a decent spec PC. No matter how easy piracy become, it will never be worth investing into for normalfags when you can just do no research and buy a console outright. Unlike the film industry where it's so easy to pirate that it actually effects the bottom line of blockbuster movies.

>>169376 You can emulate the switch on entry level PC hardware from 2014 and get literally double the performance of a switch at twice the resolution while doing so.

>>169377 Even setting up an emulator is a large barrier to entry. The same applies to games PS2 and back, but it's still hard to get people into emulating those.

>>169378 Yes, which is why emulation and piracy don't impact sales. Normal people don't care to bother.

>>169378 Retroarch, but the average normalnigger can't search for a pirate site without being flagged by jewgle and getting viruses from the top results.

>>169380 Nigger what? I get filtered by retroarchs god awful user interface that I just install all the emulators individually to avoid having to touch that piece of shit. I can't imagine a normalnigger navigating it properly.

>>169381 Then something like batocera, I don't know, the average underage poorfag can probably figure anything out while using tilt controls and touch gestures to navigate menus.

>>169379 >which is why emulation and piracy don't impact sales. Not negatively. Piracy does effect sales because those pirates talk to people, and the people they talk to go out and buy games.

>>169383 It's true. Piracy does boost sales, so long what's being pirated, A.) Doesn't already have advertising out the ass, like blockbuster movies and tripleayy gaymes B.) Isn't so easy to pirate, it's popular to pirate with even the most braindead normalniggers If A isn't true, the effect of piracy is neutral. If both aren't true, only then does piracy have a negative effect on sales. The only industry where this is the case, is blockbuster movies. Due to the nature of videogames, this will never be the case for vidya, and piracy will always have a neutral to positive effect on sales.

>>169384 It actually is stupidly easy to have most of the systems before 2000 not requiring a keyboard on an included microsd card for a $50-100 chink emulation handheld. It's just that there are also no new sales of most of those games, nor any newly developed games for those platforms, so it doesn't matter much besides collector autists and lawyers.

>>169377 Isn't the list of stable games pretty small? Can't imagine musous running well. >>169374 How the fuck is the PS5 still rare then?

>>169386 Probably chink flu manufacturing speed + scalpers.

>>169387 So wouldn't it be said that those are being used as handicaps to the Switch's advantage?

>>169388 Probably, but it doesn't change that more people will have a switch in their hands and buy into nintendo first party titles and not miss many sony exclusives.

>>169389 How many PS5 exclusives even exist? I don't count Demon's Souls because it's a port of a PS3 game.

>>169390 Does it even have enough (good) changes to justify buying a scalped console for? Hell, are there even any performance differences between the PS4 and PS5 versions of say, Ghost of Tsukishima? Among many others?

>>169390 From skimming list articles, 20-30, and I saw death stranding directors cut on there, which is on pc and I have it, so maybe 15 or so.

Baker?

>>169393 Do you have the current raw OP?

>>169394 I've got it, the thread's almost ready.

>>169394 DeepFreeze still dead? I don't have the pastebin or whatever it was with the raw but I could do it in a min.

>>169395 Don't forget to share the raw as well. >>169396 >DeepFreeze still dead? Yep.

>>169395 Could you replace the deepfreeze link, or add the pastebin to the raw underneath it please?

>>169396 >>169397 >>169398 Here it is, I just need to replace the deepfreeze link with a link. No one has the new pastebin?

>>169345 Don't currently play it, never played it to begin with, there's nothing about it in the catalogue, minor news thread, or the MMO thread, wouldn't have known if you didn't say anything here and now. Furthermore, fucking Ragnarok Online 2 is still alive so i find it perplexing when ANY MMO just ups and falls over dead.

I wish there were proper Easter and 4/20 themed threads this year, oh well. The stickies served that purpose I guess. And it's still Passover, so: NEW THREAD: >>584014 >>584014 >>584014 >>584014 >>584014 >>584014
