The second CPU is the GBA CPU, but at twice the clockspeed (which can then downclock for GBA games). You’re double-counting it and making it sound like the system had three.

The 3DS is the real funny one, adding its own new CPU alongside both the DS and GBA CPUs. So that’s actually three.

Everything is relative. The FGC is ‘small’ relative to the likes of League or Valorant, and Riot seems to truly expect that every project should be as popular as those or else they’ll pull the plug.

The hope wasn’t that the game would dominate the existing FGC, but that the IP would have such a massive pull that it would expand the FGC so much (and in the longer term, make the players be l branch into other games in the genre).

And even ten years ago I thought that was delusional.

Still thinking back to when this was first announced and people were hyping it up like the mere presence of Riot’s money was going to result in Project L completely dominating the entire rest of the FGC combined by an order of magnitude. I knew from the start that it would never live up to such unrealistic expectations.

From what I’ve heard, it doesn’t sound like the game even did that badly, I wish some of my other favorite games had as healthy of a playerbase. But we’re in this weird world where some games are perfectly comfortable with whatever audience they get and others have to pull the plug ASAP if they don’t hit Fortnite-sized numbers overnight.

They just needed to have realistic expectations and they could’ve been fine with what they have.

Panel Attack is a FOSS clone of Panel de Pon with rollback netcode and modding support.

Splatoon, when played at an organized competitive level. The game is very fast, and all four players need to be in sync or else a more coordinated team will run circles around them. Tournament play is a vastly different beast from solo queue.

I really don’t trust BlueSky. I feel like they call themselves federated as a marketing gimmick to convince people they’re better than every other corporate social network, but they’ve deliberately set it up so that 99.9% of everything is going through their central server anyway. And it frustrates me that a lot of people have bought into that lie. Fediverse has been here delivering on everything BlueSky promised to be and did so long before BlueSky even existed, and yet no one cares because BlueSky had the venture capital to push a bigger marketing campaign.

Unfortunately, people jumping ship from BlueSky still aren’t coming over here. So I don’t know what to make of this news really, I know it doesn’t mean what I wish it would mean.
