Nintendo doesn't have enough sway, they're only a 1/3 stockholder, but I think the result will be the same. Just tired of people making pokemon seem like a first party branch of nintendo; they're very much a separate entity

or put another way: expedition 33 had a budget of 20 million

It's about 10% the budget nintendo puts into games that charge that much, and even less than other companies

That bit has victims for sure, true.

This should also prove that this is not a Nintendo problem, but nobody will pay attention to that.

That Legends ZA budget leak has to be real because it's the first thing I've heard that explains what the fuck is going wrong with their games

You should get the money instead of pokemon

This whole "fallacy of tolerance" bullshit is such a red flag. To be stumped by it is to either be evil or deficient.

My main thing with those is just that I know high-end minecraft doesn't rely on the same elements most modern games do, so I'm scared I'll end up with someone that won't know how to deliver on that. I've been trying to find a website or service that advertises their familiarity with minecraft

officially too scared to build my pc, where do i go to get a really really ideal pre-built one? challenge mode: i want it for modded minecraft, so the benchmarks arent quite as clear.

once this is done, the minecraft furnace would essentially just be one inventory with 3 slots:

slot[0].type = "smeltable"
slot[1].type = "fuel"
slot[2].type = "any"
slot[2].player_input= false

its taking a bit longer because i'm thinking ahead and adding a lot of extra features to the "inventory" system to allow it to also function as a general "interface that handles items" system. essentially the way I assumed minecraft interfaces worked before I learned the truth, lol.

got a bunch of background functions built in preparation for items filtering into the correct spot in your inventory when you pick them up, as well as a bit of cleanup and simplification. brain fried though, i'll finish up tomorrow.

or even better, i could take apart this thingy and make a custom shell that fits the slot, to give the appearance of inserting a cartridge into my tower. inside its just using the same usbc port. that would be neat.

i wonder how hard it would be to get someone to mod a ps1 into essentially this size, controller ports and all. or any disc-based console really. just slot it into one of your tower's drive openings, all original tech so its technically native performance.
