anyways anti-cheat software is kind of like the inkjet printer a necessary evil
that doesn't work all that well so i'm not expecting you to be thrilled when i
tell you that de nuvo has made its way into the nintendo switch ecosystem it's
a tiny violin for all of us switch lovers the point is
to block pc emulations of switch titles and when you think about it it's a
pretty on-brand move for nintendo which has a reputation of being protective of
its ip to the point of pissing off its own devoted fan base and that doesn't
even get into the problems with de nuvo itself which is already notorious for
causing poor performance and other technical issues on legally obtained pc
games fingers crossed won't turn your island and animal crossing into some

in less controversial console news sony has some announcements regarding the ps5
the first is a new controller called the dual sense edge which honestly sounds
like one of those gimmicky 10 blade razors from a gillette commercial but it

revealed psvr 2 headset early 2023 sony

consumers what to expect in typical real world conditions instead of on rigged
laboratory tests in extremely hot environments and aggressive overdrive
settings clear mr though does feature
nine performance levels i guess being confusing but honest is better than the
alternative well this tv goes up to 11.
