Patents are very specific
You’d be surprised at some of the gargage that sneaks past the patents office
If this is really Nintendo’s strategy, they’re going to be hosed, even in Japanese courts. Pokemon isn’t even the first game with these mechanics, Dragon Quest (a Square Enix property) and Shin Megami Tensei (an Atlas property) had the mechanic and came out before Pokemon, plus the original Pokemon released over 20 yeares ago.
So, literally the same strategy that gamers are going for here. And you said their methods never work, yet here we are with an example of it working
Also, don’t forget all of the Discovery Channel shows that customers purchased through PSN that Sony stole.
Fuck Sony
The gaming community is incapable of executing an effective boycott
If that’s the case, then explain exactly why Sony backed off of the account requirement for Helldivers 2
Nintendo’s well-known record for being litigious makes it firmly auth-right imo
Unfortunately the core mechanics of MOBA games encourage shitty behavior
Until you have more than 100 lab techs
Are you telling me you don’t use multiple screens while gaming?
Or it being 5 years in the future with significantly more efficient SOC’s and batteries
That being said, the Nintendo DS’s last US patents should expire in November. Maybe they could do a dual screen?
Unfortunately smart TV’s are just a step up from potatoes. Having separate hardware is gereally better than a smart TV app
Does that change anything regarding the discussion?
Yes, because the term “fatigue limit” makes lay people think the exact opposite of what is intended.
Head’s up, referring to it as a “limit” like your article did is incorrect. In engineering you have what’s called an S-N diagram, which plots out the average time to failure based on average cyclic stress. Basically, a lower avaerage stress results in a higher average life. Also, this plot uses a logarithmic scale for both axis, because then all of the plots are straight lines.
For steel, the S-N diagram has what’s called the “knee”, which is where you have two distinct lines in the S-N curve: one horizontal and one at an angle, with the two intersecting at 1 million cycles. Referring to the knee as a limit (like in the article) is wrong because it’s not a limit; it’s the threshold where if you design a part to last beyond that (aka less cyclic stress than would get 1 million cycles) then it practically lasts forever.
In reality, the part won’t actually last forever, since the S-N curve beyond 1 million cycles isn’t perfectly horizontal. It’s just that reducing your cyclic stress quickly increases your predicted life into billions or even trillions of cycles. This is known as ultra-high cycle fatigue, and it’s generally impractical to do all the testing required to model because each sample would take months to test on the low end. Plus, there’s little demand for such models in the industry, though there are a handful of PhD students and post-docs working on it
As far as video game adaptations go these days, this actually seems pretty true to the source material.
Uh… What? Look at the casting- Roland should be a straight-man (in comedy terms) but they’ve cast Kevin Hart to tell his typically unfunny cracks. And while I love Kate Blanchett she is not a good fit to play Lilith
Not only that, they probably would have been better off not using the original 4 playable characters since every game comes with a new set. Just make sure the side characters are done well and you keep the same feel as the games and it should have been an easy win
Yet you still see people grumbling about how restrictions on chinese EV imports are just “American/Western Imperialism”, since people apparently don’t understand how valueable domestic production is
Also, ffs how do you design a car without crumple zones in this day and age?
While I agree, I do have to clarify that there is a fatigue limit, it’s mainly that the limit for steel increases so fast that few people are willing to put in the testing for billions of cycles to model ultra-high cycle fatigue
Yeah, the Mongolians front-loaded most of their atrocities. Rome was more of a slow burn
