Nobody important, doing nothing special. Thats ok because I'm cool with it, I'm a 100% geek, who war games, paints and occasionally plays computer games.
I know I said I was going to try to steer clear of mammoth Twitter threads, & I've been good for a few months now, so perhaps you'll forgive me this indulgence just this once, but I need to address the consolidation elephant in the room. Because some of the arguments have... 1/42
@polidemitolog Standing up when others can't is a form of solidarity. Every domino that falls makes it easier for the next one to fall.
Either way Serbians should feel proud of how you've stood up for yourselves, & organised for so long.
It's honestly been inspirational.
Serbian's should be proud. If they can stand up to authoritarians then the rest of us should be able to follow their example. They've not let up for years protesting & organising.
Honestly? It's inspiring.
#Serbia's Aleksandar Vuฤiฤ has acknowledged defeat. After years of dominating Serbian politics, he is facing a loss to the student movement born out of protests against corruption. No final results available. People are already gathering on the streets.
@EPHELI_@MGR_Chille Nope, the NAND alone in a 64GB cart is pretty much $15-$20's & it's closer to $30's to actually produce the game carts. It's not inflated, if anything Nintendo seems to be willing to simply "wash their face" on producing the carts. Given the AI boom it's only likely to get worse.
I'm seeing multiple people claim that both Sony & MS are looking into cartridges of somekind for physical media. I'm not sure I buy the idea. Switch 2 cartridges cost nominally between $15-$20 usd to produce for 64gb, but actually are closer to $30 in some cases. Even... 1/2
@Sonnie_Slim Not really, they're choosing to end disc production. Given the ever increasing costs of NAND memory & the fact it has tge exact same downsides identified in their business case for ending disc production as well as being a more expensive medium tge rumour makes no sense.
@The_Xploit You should've read 2/2 before responding.
It doesn't make sense given the business case Sony presented to shareholder as to why they were ditching physical media.
