What the heck is Mike Odyssey talking about? This is a rendering technique patent for Paper Mario The Thousand-Year Door! The application was filed in 2024-01, and published in 2025-06. I didn’t find it that interesting then, therefore posted only a short intro and the patent URL (see below). 1/

New Patent Alert! A New Ray Tracing Switch 2 Technique. 
A fascinating new patent discovery sheds light on how Nintendo handles advanced graphics on their hardware. The patent, filed by Yasuhito Fujisawa, reveals a unique approach to managing Screen Space Reflections.
Standard reflections often break or disappear when the reflection angle points outside the visible edge of the screen. Instead of letting the reflection simply fade out or fail, Nintendo's solution dynamically calculates a correction curve to fix it. The software actively bends the ray-tracing direction inward toward the inside of the screen right before it hits the boundary.
This is a novel software-level optimization. By calculating this correction toward the inside of the screen, the system preserves persistent, natural-looking reflections without requiring the heavy processing power usually needed for full ray tracing. It is a brilliant technical workaround that highlights their specific approach to engineering and optimization.

As a tip: if you use big man as a panic special to beat a wave, you can jump off the side to cancel his showstopper and keep some of the special meter for the next sublevel I would only do this at the end of a sublevel though since it puts you in danger

Raiders’ preload is 12.7 GB, which is just barely under Splatoon 3 with all its DLC installed (12.8 GB)

A screenshot showing both Splatoon 3 and Splatoon Raiders in the Manage Software menu on the Switch 2. Splatoon 3 takes up 12.8 GB of space, and Splatoon Raiders takes up 12.7 GB of space.

the whole thing with sony’s physical game statistics is ridiculous when you consider the PS5 pro doesn’t come with a disc reader and it costs EIGHTY BUCKS for one. mannnn i wonder why people haven’t been buying physical games for your console!!!

this has nothing to do with AI. there were some false positive matches, the bans are only temporary until they are manually reviewed when we saw this yesterday we found the problematic hash and overrode it so nothing else should get flagged

hi everyone.. im really scared to ask but could really use some financial help with emergency vet bills. my kitty is experiencing urinary strain possibly induced by stress, hasnt urinated in 24 hours and is growing lethargic/vomiting. on my way back to the er, im not sure what the total cost (cont)
