We Should Reject the Switch 2’s Bogus Game-Key Cards or This Will Be the End of Physical Games

gizmodo.com Kyle Barr 2025-12-11 04:37:02

On Sunday, Nintendo propped up a survey for players to share a few thoughts about how they prefer to play games on the Switch 2. By Tuesday, Nintendo pulled the survey, but not before the poll went viral and offered gamers a new outlet to let loose about the lack of Switch 2 games you can buy that come entirely on physical game cards. There’s a larger issue at play. The Switch 2 is an inflection point showing how the last few strands of actual game ownership are fraying. Nintendo’s most-dedicate

Content-Aware Spaced Repetition

news.ycombinator.com Giacomo Randazzo 2025-12-13 22:32:11

Content-aware Spaced Repetition Spaced repetition systems are powerful, but they have a fundamental blind spot: they don’t understand what your flashcards are about. To your SRS, a card asking “what’s the capital of Italy?” and another asking “what country is Rome the capital of?” are treated independently, each with its own isolated review history. It has no concept that reviewing related material should reinforce your memory of the whole topic. At the heart of every SRS is a memory model wh

Mastercard denies pressuring game platforms, Valve tells a different story

A new, faster-paced game mode is coming to Apex Legends on August 5

engadget.com Unknown 2025-12-22 23:00:48

The next season of Apex Legends kicks off on August 5, and it will see the arrival of a new, permanent game mode. Respawn says it built Wildcard as a faster-paced alternative to the core battle royale mode. For instance, when you take out an enemy, they won't leave behind a death box. Instead, their loot will scatter around them, making it easier for you to spot and pick up an item you need or want. Another big difference here is legend stacking. You and your teammates will all be able to play
