What did they say?

That Portal 64 demake we liked so much has been kiboshed by Valve: 'They have asked me to take the project down,' creator says in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

[–] torvusbogpod@lemmy.world 26 points 8 months ago (18 children)

Valve removed it because it used official N64 APIs that Nintendo holds as classified information. I think if it had totally been bottom-up crafted from scratch, it would have survived. But Valve does NOT wanna deal with a Nintendo lawyer.

MSI CLAW gaming handheld leaked, features Intel Core Ultra 7 155H with Arc graphics and 32GB memory in c/games@lemmy.world

[–] torvusbogpod@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

32GB could be useful if the bandwidth is fast enough to be suitable VRAM, because then you can run games that want 16GB allocated to the CPU without having a GPU performance drop

Gaming Industry Faces Peril Due to New Regulations – Are China’s Stricter Gaming Policies a Blueprint for Global Change? in c/games@sh.itjust.works

Yes I too look nostalgically look back on my games having nothing but beep audio because I didn't have one of three sound cards my chosen game decided to support

would it be illegal to download Ubuntu on a Chromebook? in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] torvusbogpod@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Uh, you don't have to work at Google on order to do that. Most Chromebooks can be unlocked to work with Linux with a little bit of work. And you wouldn't be at risk of going to jail for that. Worst that could happen is you void your warranty. But it's not a "real crime" or anything like that.
