interesting, Chris Meledandri (Illumination CEO) only got 75% approval from shareholders for re-election to Nintendo's board of directors
all the other directors were elected with 90%+ approval (and last year, Meledandri also received 94% approval)
wonder what changed?

I highly suspect that the reason GC emulation is Switch 2 exclusive is that the hardware allows their emulator (Hagi) to directly run ROMs without prior work
Super Mario Sunshine and Pikmin 1+2 required substantial work for each game on the CPU side before they could run

finished Metroid: Zero Mission!
the first 90% was excellent, just classic 2D Metroid gameplay
then the stealth section started! felt novel at first, but I was not a fan after like 2 minutes
also, the final boss was way too easy... I killed it in ~5 hits with Super Missiles

I really think that the current SplatoonNA translator has confused the JP name for the Triumvirate (オカシラ連合, "a union of bosses") for "Boss Salmonids"
this is now the second tweet where "Boss Salmonids" replaces parts where the original JP text talks about the Triumvirate

at a store in Japan: fake gift cards for "PC Virus & Trojan Horse Removal" and "Late Payment Fee" - when someone brings the card to the cashier, they will inform the person that they're being scammed

what I don't understand is why Grezzo insists on 60fps when the game has trouble reaching that target
oh and they also insist on double buffered vsync which makes frame rate dips more pronounced
it should really should have a 30fps cap... stable 30fps > unstable 60fps imo

fun fact: the offline support is already implemented, but it's locked behind a check which verifies that the game's version number is newer than 9.1.0
literally all Nintendo needs to do is release an update that adds .1 to the version number, no actual dev time required

this is interesting - they filed a patent lawsuit, *not copyright*
so instead of saying Palworld is copying their art or whatever, they're alleging that Palworld is copying their patents (possibly on things like gameplay systems?)
wish I had the lawsuit document to look at

I had lots of fun with Splatoon 3 and made a ton of memories, so it's sad to see it 'end'... but at least it went out with a bang!

we're currently in a slump period, so I doubt it's going to get much better than this unless we put in some serious effort

Golden Eggs graph as of 1:37 am UTC
- the pace really picked up as we approached 700 million
- after reaching 700 million, the pace slowed down quite a bit
- slump ended at ~12 am UTC; the pace is picking up again
Japan being asleep was definitely the cause of the slump imo lol

the pace at which we're collecting eggs has slowed quite a bit since reaching 700 million
I suspect this might be due to Japan being asleep
if this continues, we may not reach 2 billion eggs by the end

a common argument I've seen is that Nintendo won't reveal Switch 2 until 2025 because of the holidays
I wouldn't rule out a 2024 reveal based on that line of thinking, imo

it's hard for me to give any specific criticisms about the game without getting into story spoilers, so I won't do that
but I can see why Sakamoto said it would be "divisive" in the preview video (and it does seem to be for players in Japan, judging by the Amazon reviews)
