#nintendo internet

[badvgopinions]

I started a post, drafted it so I can continue it in a bit, but it fucking disappeared so here’s a shorter version.

Basically most of the wonky shit that’s going on in the new Pokemon games (particularly with some weird model stuff) are only going on in the Online mode. Of course people are playing it while having Online turned on and showing clips of the game being weird while conveniently leaving out that context. (Either that or they’re pirating it, which means that the “anti-piracy” measures are happening for them.)

I’m sure that even if you point out that the problem is with the WiFi they’ll whine about how “no, it’s the game! (Even though it’s the internet server’s fault for every other game.)” Because they’re denying that it’s the hardware and not the game’s fault every time they see some lag, so of course they’d deny that it’s the internet server’s fault, too.

And as far as anecdotal evidence go, all I’ve seen from my husband’s game is Miraidon disappearing and Pokemon floating. Which is weird but not game breaking. I’m still not getting any problems when I play the game offline.

So now for the internet server rant that I wasn’t able to get to in my original post:

Now for the rant: Nintendo’s internet services still fucking sucks! I stopped paying for it after they discontinued my service twice within the same year (I paid for the year, twice) so I never tested out the “improved online connection” that they kept on talking about for Splatoon 3.

When I tried looking that up I found Reddit threads from a week ago complaining about the internet connection for Splatoon 3. So apparently it either didn’t improve since 2004, or it barely improved.

The only good thing about Nintendo’s online service is that I can play games that are worth $100+ for $20 for... As far as they’ll let me play it. Not a year like they promise, though. (Does anybody else have that problem?)

I’m not paying for that, but I’m especially not going to pay $60 more to use a nearly 20 year old internet service. I pay $60 for PS+ and get AAA games. Sure they’re worth like, $10 once they’re available for free, but their internet services also actually works decently.

I used to use Xbox Live too but then I moved in with my husband and didn’t have a need for it anymore. I played a lot of games with him and had minimal problems. It was also pretty decent, and a lot better than what Nintendo’s internet services are now.

I did not realize just how annoyed I am by Nintendo’s nearly twenty year old internet servers until I kept ranting.

Low Tech Solarpunk

The level of tech in my personal version of Solarpunk is a lot more like tech in to 90's and early two thousands

Physical media libraries (books, video games, movies)

Phone booths

Small phones (of sustainable materials) with long battery life and with basic internet (for navigation and safety necessities etc), no apps or camera

The internet itself being more like the old internet so no algorithms, and there would be no ads other than for free events

You won't see the amount of likes, followers or views on other peoples content or profile, only on your own

Social media profiles' appearance would be a lot more customisable and fun again

Those are just some things that imo we got right the first time and honestly wouldn't mind bringing back

A rough sketch I made a couple of months ago to commemorate Ocarina of Time's 25th anniversary. I might clean it one day and make prints for my convention tables, idk yet :) I'm still not over this game. I never will.
