I often revere the people who can do smart shit.
I really shouldn’t. Using discord is dumb. Using discord for a switch emulator, while Nintendos lawyers are waking around with their cocks out is stupid.

I've said this recently, but intelligence is domain specific. People just being generally "smart" is not a thing people should really care about.
Yep, I've known specialists that are extremely good at their job but when you hear them talk about other stuff you sometimes wonder how they manage to tie their shoes in the morning.
What I hate most about this is how they now moved to Rocket Chat.
Come on people. Use a forum. Get the message, finally. Do it!
I'm pretty sure most of people who mainly use discord as their main social apps probably never touched forum-based internet.
Hosting your own forum is also better as you (the owner of the site) can still retrieve the msgs as long as you still have the access to the host server (so you can back them up in case shutting down, then going to resurfacing later).
Not to mention using discord is already risking yourself because of their shitty policy.
And it’s a million times better for people trying to troubleshoot.
1 forum post can solve many problems, rather than having to have each person ask in a support chat that’s not searchable.
I hope Nintendo is able to make emulation illegal once and for all and end all this. People really shouldn't be allowed to run whatever software they want, they should only be allowed to run Microsoft Windows and the fun games they include on the bonus disc
Man fuck Nintendo at this point. WE ARE ALLOWED TO EMULATE, GET FUCKED
I dead ass downloaded and set up yuza the second I heard it was shutting down
I'll reinforce my comment from months ago: I have the latest version of Yuzu, the keys, the firmware, the Linux and Windows versions, and links to ROM sites, and I'll distribute them forever to whoever asks in my DMs. I packaged them in a simple .zip with easy to follow instructions.
That said, why simply not use Ryujinx? Even on the Steam Deck performance is very good nowadays. Super Mario Wonder plays at 60 FPS on the Deck (though you need to enable a very simple mod that disables some weird function the game runs, otherwise it drops to 30 FPS all the time). In fact, for AMD GPUs, you're doing yourself a huge favor by going Ryujinx over Yuzu and derivatives.
Ryujinx is solid, accurate and well known, it's a trusted emulator. The Yuzu forks are unknown, managed by non experienced people (one was quite literally created by a teenager with zero coding knowledge) and extremely ephemeral.

You've never seen someone clap between every word trying to get their point across?
I have, but the clapping made me think their point wasn’t well thought out.
Good discord is trash.
Discord is the antithesis to free web. Stop using it. I won't join any community using discord.
Oh yeah, and fuck Nintendo
Even beyond the point of "using discord". Nintendo is reaching harassment levels of assholism. Are they doing even worse that with Gaty Bowser?
They should just spin up their own Lemmy instance
Yeah, and a Matrix instance
They don't really need a chat though, do they? For their purpose of user-interfacing development and tracking, a forum would be much more useful when coupled with a code hosting system, no?
Can do bug reporting/tracking and development through the latter, while the former allows discoverable FAQ, dev-to-user and user-to-user support. With chat, the last point is just about impossible plus it's not discoverable.
let me just spin up a subreddit instead and ... WHY DOES THIS KEEP HAPPENING?
Why is this much of this a problem for them—discord shouldn't be an essential piece of the puzzle for an emulator project
Potentially completing someone's lemmy bingo card here, but it's relatively easy to self-host any tools you need
Discord is a shit, always was shit. Shitty platform, shitty (electron) apps.
I don’t want to get victim blamey, but…
Matrix is a better Discord.
Privacy-wise sure, but feature-wise it has some work to do.
If they REALLY want it to be like discord, why not use Revolt?
I don't understand.
One that really ticked me off was that "the legend of zelda ocarina of time" pc build "ship of harkinian".
I have never had such a tough time installing something. You have to do everything through their discord and it was a complete fucking mess.
Pretty fucking authoritarian for a company that uses the OPA’s split circle as its logo
"We will repeat in every sentence that we are not a for-profit emulator, we'll be fine!"
Yeah.
googled Sudachi, and its GPL 3 but:
yeah that's gonna go real swell for them
