Nostalgia is a strong force. Nintendo is very good at capitalizing on it.

An abundanceage?

I think in that case Nintendo was more a victim of its own success and they released the console a little too early. Everyone was still playing wiis back then and there were still so many great games coming out on the Wii.

And in one sentence you’ve completely encapsulated the reason why Nintendo is terrified of emulators.

I wonder if it has anything to do with all the layoffs.

Without the philosophical overtones and the anti military industrial complex theme, I don’t think I’d want to play it.

And today I love a stranger. Wonderful!

I love that this is pronounced Arr Poo (ARPU)

It is at Amazon, at least now. Twice I’ve gotten used for new. I’m not shopping there if I can possibly avoid it at this point.

If it builds and runs for me, I may build a Windows installer for it…

I AM SO STOKED!

Like the sith.

Seriously. I don’t think I can buy another switch device. Next time it’ll have to be a steam deck or clone.

…And charge pennies on the dollar!

Or, as soon as the mfgrs stop making parts for my car, I should get a refund of a certain amount of the purchase price of the car.

When my phone goes out of support, I get a refund of %x of the cost. The mfgrs can keep the money in the mean time and earn interest.

Disincentivise planned obsolescence.

PS5 actually. It’s apparently a known issue and apparently it’s isolated to the PS5 because it has something to do with the second players game not loading right when you’re playing multiplayer couch co-op.

I’m running PS5, but I will 100% try that!

Thanks!

I don’t even like act 1, none of my save games load without hanging the game.

Poor UX. Literally unplayable.

I understood the answer, not the meme. I guess I wasn’t clear. Sorry internet friend. Clearly GPT was lacking some nuance too, as evidenced by some discussion ITT.

Did I say that? It’s obvious that it’s a fairly nuanced as topics go, and GPT is not great at nuance. It doesn’t seem like it’s totally wrong though.

Anyhow I don’t rust, so it’s kinda irrelevant, just an interesting topic.

GPT is fairly useful but I definitely don’t trust it implicitly. Lol

A Rust procedural macro (proc macro) is a metaprogramming feature in Rust that allows you to define custom syntax extensions and code transformations. They operate on the abstract syntax tree (AST) of Rust code during compilation and can generate or modify code based on annotations or custom syntax.

Sandboxing a Rust proc macro refers to restricting the capabilities of the macro to improve security and prevent potentially harmful code execution. There are several reasons why someone might want to sandbox a proc macro:

1. Security: Untrusted code can be executed during the macro expansion process. To prevent malicious code execution or code that could access sensitive information, sandboxing techniques are employed.

2. Preventing unintended side effects: Some proc macros might inadvertently introduce side effects like file I/O or network requests. Sandboxing can limit these actions to ensure the macro only performs intended transformations.

3. Resource control: To manage system resources, a sandboxed proc macro can be configured to run within resource limits, preventing excessive memory or CPU usage.

4. Isolation: Sandboxing helps keep the macro’s execution isolated from the rest of the compilation process, reducing the risk of interfering with other parts of the code.

Sandboxing a Rust proc macro typically involves using crates like sandbox or cap-std to restrict the macro’s capabilities and limit its access to the system. This ensures that the macro operates within a controlled environment, enhancing the overall safety of code compilation and execution.

I didn’t get it either.

Seems to me if your code will be this unpredictable, you should only run it on an air gapped machine
