Touching is Good: A Retrospective

My trusty Nintendo 3DS, which has held out since I was gifted it for my 15th birthday, has turned one decade old with my 25th birthday this past November. Given new life with custom firmware and nds-bootstrap via TWiLightMenu, the 3DS is stellar for visiting any past handheld title or console title up to (and somewhat including) the N64. (Quick plug for the CFW/hacking community for the less popular PS Vita, too, which has accomplished some pretty crazy-cool stuff this last year.) I use my 3DS more often than I use my Nintendo Switch most weeks.

The Nintendo DS (minus the three) launched in late 2004. The second display and stylus support were novel tools for developers to experiment with, and the NDS is best remembered for its robust catalogue of RPGs and visual novels. Where it lacked in power, narrative-focused games flourished under its technical limitations.

That being said, while browsing the ROM archives on Vimm's Lair to pick up some titles, I was reminded of what an interesting era the mid-to-late 2000s were for games. While Sony and Microsoft were fighting over the "core gamer" demographic, who had outgrown Nintendo mascots, Nintendo led a series of wildly successful marketing campaigns for its hardware after the light failure of the Gamecube, where the Nintendo DS and then the Wii were targeted at...everyone else.

[Image source. Image description in alt text.]

If you look at ads for the DS and the Wii, you'll see that adults are featured much more prominently than children, especially women and seniors. (This did not go unnoticed, as I found this ancient relic of misogyny while looking for images for this post.) A Nintendo handheld was already an easy sell to parents with small children (though I think it's also notable that ads which do focus on children often prominently feature girls. Munchlax is pretty hot...), but Nintendo's angle for the DS and Wii was that their hardware wasn't just for children. The Wii was a way to get up off the couch and to play board games with grandma. The DS was a great gadget for a working woman to keep in her pocketbook.

This worked. The Wii and DS were two of the best-selling consoles of all time. In particular, the DS's marketing campaign only worked because it came out in the perfect window of time. PDA-phone hybrids had been around since the 90s, and the Blackberry had been kicking around for a few years, but the iPhone wouldn't be introduced until 2007, and the 4G LTE standard wouldn't be released until 2009. While the Blackberry was popular with businesspeople and the PDA was out of style, smartphones were luxury toys for several years; they wouldn't become near-ubiquious until the mid-2010s. I didn't get my own smartphone until probably around the same time I got my 3DS, a full handheld generation later.

Browsing the software library for the Nintendo DS and DSi with that in mind is really interesting. Many titles released for the platform serve the same purposes that would be fulfilled by simple smartphone apps less than a decade later: planners and diaries, fitness trackers, calculators, language learning and SAT prep software, even a guide to the then-most-recent version of the driver's test in the UK. These proliferated with the release of the DSi's virtual store, but they existed even with the base model. You could go to a brick-and-mortar store and buy them on physical cartridges. (You might be wondering, "Why would you bother carrying those around over just buying a Blackberry?" You can't underestimate how expensive the service bills for a smartphone were before companies realized they were the most powerful spyware tool in history.)

There was never a time where every single businesswoman in New York carried a DS Lite, but adults did buy and use them, and a not insignificant portion of the DS's software library is aimed at a casual adult audience. Another niche covered mostly by smartphone games these days—games designed to be picked up and played in short sessions on-the-go, in places like waiting rooms and subway commutes.

Nintendo made crazy bank in the seventh console generation. Publications of the time talked about a console war between Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo, but the real battle was between the PS3 and the Xbox 360 over the gamer demographic. Nintendo was producing hardware for a niche who would quietly disappear once smartphone sales began ballooning by hundreds of millions per year over the course of the early 2010s.

After the failure of the Wii U, Nintendo's marketing strategy pivoted again, though I doubt they'll ever completely abandon their family-friendly image. Currently beat out only by the PS2 and the DS, the Nintendo Switch may very well climb to a status as the best-selling console of all time before the end of its lifespan, but the "gamer" demographic is much bigger than it was two decades ago at the dawn of the DS. As more and more devices become consolidated into the Swiss army knife the smartphone has become, consoles can only carve out a role as dedicated gaming machines.

I'm not sure we'll ever see anything like the Nintendo DS or the Wii again. I think they're worth looking back on for their uniqueness in that way as much as they are for the more celebrated parts of their libraries.

The first devices that will have to be sold according to strict EU directives will hit the European market after Apple on Tuesday presented its new iPhone with a USB-C charge point.

A European Union law requires phone manufacturers to adopt a common charging connection by December 2024 to save consumers’ money and cut waste. The iPhone 15 is the first Apple device to have a USB-C charger instead of Apple’s usual Lightning charger, after the EU ordered manufacturers to introduce identical connections.

Apple fiercely opposed the law in 2022, arguing that it would punish innovation, but the 27 EU member states make up the largest single market in the world, so they relented.

Common chargers are not the only requirements in the European Parliament’s push to make life easier for consumers and reduce waste, a Croatian member of the European Parliament, Biljana Borzan, who was one of the strongest advocates for the adoption of that act, told BIRN

“The single charger initiative is ten years old. The European Parliament then gave a mandate to the European Commission to implement it. A charger is an independent act, but in addition to mobile phones, other small devices such as tablets, game consoles, speakers, keyboards, headphones and laptops are also included,” Borzan said.

“My political group [Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats in the European Parliament] has been the loudest about chargers. We cannot say that I was the initiator because it was initiated before I arrived in the European Parliament, but I certainly worked intensively on it,” Borzan said.

The common charger is not the only battle against Big Tech that the EU has won. Brussels believes it will win several more in the coming months.

The EU’s new technological target is artificial intelligence, AI, since the chatbot ChatGPT pointed to the rapid development of this technology last year. Brussels hopes to give a green light to a comprehensive AI law by the end of 2023.

“The directive on artificial intelligence is in the last negotiations. There are other directives that are relevant, for example, the Ecodesign Directive, but also my Directive that determines the availability of software to the consumer,” Borzan said.

The October 2022 landmark Digital Services Act, DSA, and the accompanying Digital Markets Act, DMA, are the biggest and latest attempts to rein in big tech companies.

The DSA requires companies to crack down on harmful and illegal content online and to assess the risks their platforms pose to society. Violation of the rules incur a penalty of 6 per cent of the offender’s annual global turnover.

Under the rules, 19  large internet platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X (formerly Twitter) and YouTube, had till August this year to comply with the DSA. All platforms will have to comply by February 2024.

These major platforms have already introduced changes, including the banning of targeted advertising to children.

“Different parts of the DSA apply to different market players. Last week, the Commission published a list of ‘gatekeepers’, large platforms that will bear special responsibility for the content on them. They are not overly enthusiastic about it, and Zalando even sued the EC before the European Court because they were involved,” Borzan told BIRN.

The changes are not limited to the EU. Snapchat said it would also limit personalized advertising to minors in the UK.

The DMA is another thorn in the side of technology firms, especially Apple. The law aims to dilute the dominance of the big players and make the market fairer.

The EU has an eye on six of them, in particular: Alphabet (Google), Amazon, Apple, Meta (Facebook), Microsoft and ByteDance (TikTok). The DMA will force Apple to allow third parties to use its App Store.

General Data Protection Regulation, GDPR, came into effect in 2018 and was the strictest and best-known EU law in the field, ensuring that citizens have to give consent to the ways in which their data will be used.

In May, Ireland’s privacy regulator imposed its largest ever single fine of €1.2 billion on Meta for transferring personal data between Europe and the US.

AETHUS Gameplay: Survival and Story Await You

AETHUS a gripping story-driven sci-fi survival game, is fully playable on both Linux and Windows PC. All of this comes to life thanks to the creative mind of solo developer Pawsmonaut Games. Which is working to make its way onto Steam. Grab your trusty mouse, crank the RGB, and prep your titanium coffee mug—because AETHUS is digging its way onto Steam in 2025. It also has “late-night-session” written all over it. But this story-driven sci-fi survival offers Linux support via Proton.

...people have played the game via Proton and even Nobara Linux, and the game plays well...

Pawsmonaut isn’t planning native support at launch, but since it’s built with Unreal Engine 5, AETHUS runs smoothly through Proton. So Linux players are still in the game.

Meet Maeve—the runaway miner who won’t stay buried

You play Maeve, a mining engineer who finally snapped the corporate leash. Astral Resource Corporation (ARC)—the kind of mega-corp that chews people up for quarterly bonuses, then buries the evidence six miles below the bedrock. With only a half-scrapped utility drone named Roland for company (think Wall-E with more sarcasm and a bigger therapy bill), Maeve stumbles into an abandoned dig site. One that’s also full of secrets, grief, and the ghosts of bad business decisions.

Low-poly beauty, high-stakes survival

The alien cavern system of AETHUS isn’t just eye candy for your Mesa drivers. It’s alive—pulsing, growing, and occasionally trying to crush you beneath tons of rock. Crack veins of neon ore with industrial-strength lasers, drop explosives like confetti, and carve out tunnels that would make a dwarven architect jealous. Everything you yank from the earth��gems, fungus, scrap tech—feeds your next invention or scores coin on the black-market console.

Build, tinker, automate…then chill in your fungal lounge

Start with four rusty panels and a dream; end with a neon-lit outpost worthy of a banner. Hidden blueprints let you snap together habitat pods, hydroponic farms, even furniture that looks like it was salvaged from a starliner’s first-class deck. When the power grid hums and the conveyor belts chug along on their own, kick back in Rol-Mart™ recliners and watch your mushroom farm pay the bills while you plan the next dive.

AETHUS | New Anti-capitalist Colony Builder

A story that hits where it hurts

This isn’t just another “mine, craft, repeat” loop. Every corridor drips with the fallout of ARC’s greed. Such as missing crews, shattered families, and one stubborn drone who knows more than he lets on. Maeve’s journey is fully voiced and surprisingly raw. While hitting themes of family, resistance, and what it costs to dig for truth when the whole planet wants you quiet. Expect genuine gut punches between laser blasts.

Built in AETHUS, zero crunch, zero micro-transactions

Solo dev Pawsmonaut Games (UK) promises no AI-generated filler and absolutely no “$5 pickaxe skins.” Just one person’s passion project, polished for Linux PC and primed for Proton.

Gear up for AETHUS now

A Windows demo is already blazing through Steam—perfect for Proton. Smash that wishlist button so Valve’s algorithm does the marketing work while you frag in Tux Kart. 2025 can’t come fast enough. Until then, keep your GPUs cool, your kernels updated, and your drills spinning. The depths of the AETHUS story-driven sci-fi survival are waiting, and they won’t mine themselves.

UK opens Europe’s first E-Beam semiconductor chip lab

New Post has been published on https://thedigitalinsider.com/uk-opens-europes-first-e-beam-semiconductor-chip-lab/

UK opens Europe’s first E-Beam semiconductor chip lab

The UK has cut the ribbon on a pioneering electron beam (E-Beam) lithography facility to build the semiconductor chips of the future. What makes this special? It’s the first of its kind in Europe, and only the second facility like it on the planet—the other being in Japan.

So, what’s the big deal about E-Beam lithography? Imagine trying to draw incredibly complex patterns, but thousands of times smaller than a human hair. That’s essentially what this technology does, using a focused beam of tiny electrons.

Such precision is vital for designing the microscopic components inside the chips that run everything from our smartphones and gaming consoles to life-saving medical scanners and advanced defence systems.

Semiconductors are already big business for the UK, adding around £10 billion to its economy each year. And that figure is only expected to climb, potentially hitting £17 billion by the end of the decade.

Nurturing this sector is a major opportunity for the UK—not just for bragging rights in advanced manufacturing, but for creating high-value jobs and driving real economic growth.

Speaking at the launch of the facility in Southampton, Science Minister Lord Patrick Vallance said: “Britain is home to some of the most exciting semiconductor research anywhere in the world—and Southampton’s new E-Beam facility is a major boost to our national capabilities.

“By investing in both infrastructure and talent, we’re giving our researchers and innovators the support they need to develop next-generation chips right here in the UK.”

Lord Vallance’s visit wasn’t just a photo opportunity, though. It came alongside some sobering news: fresh research published today highlights that one of the biggest hurdles facing the UK’s growing chip industry is finding enough people with the right skills.

We’re talking about a serious talent crunch. When you consider that a single person working in semiconductors contributes an average of £460,000 to the economy each year, you can see why plugging this skills gap is so critical.

So, what’s the plan? The government isn’t just acknowledging the problem; they’re putting money where their mouth is with a £4.75 million semiconductor skills package. The idea is to build up that talent pipeline, making sure universities like Southampton – already powerhouses of chip innovation – have resources like the E-Beam lab and the students they need.

“Our £4.75 million skills package will support our Plan for Change by helping more young people into high-value semiconductors careers, closing skills gaps and backing growth in this critical sector,” Lord Vallance explained.

Here’s where that cash is going:

Getting students hooked (£3 million): Fancy £5,000 towards your degree? 300 students starting Electronics and Electrical Engineering courses this year will get just that, along with specific learning modules to show them what a career in semiconductors actually involves, particularly in chip design and making the things.

Practical chip skills (£1.2 million): It’s one thing learning the theory, another designing a real chip. This pot will fund new hands-on chip design courses for students (undergrad and postgrad) and even train up lecturers. They’re also looking into creating conversion courses to tempt talented people from other fields into the chip world.

Inspiring the next generation (Nearly £550,000): To really build a long-term pipeline, you need to capture interest early. This funding aims to give 7,000 teenagers (15-18) and 450 teachers some real, hands-on experience with semiconductors, working with local companies in existing UK chip hotspots like Newport, Cambridge, and Glasgow. The goal is to show young people the cool career paths available right on their doorstep.

Ultimately, the hope is that this targeted support will give the UK semiconductor scene the skilled workforce it needs to thrive. It’s about encouraging more students to jump into these valuable careers, helping companies find the people they desperately need, and making sure the UK stays at the forefront of the technologies that will shape tomorrow’s economy.

Professor Graham Reed, who heads up the Optoelectronics Research Centre (ORC) at Southampton University, commented: “The introduction of the new E-Beam facility will reinforce our position of hosting the most advanced cleanroom in UK academia.

“It facilitates a vast array of innovative and industrially relevant research, and much needed semiconductor skills training.”

Putting world-class tools in the hands of researchers while simultaneously investing in the people who will use them will help to cement the UK’s leadership in semiconductors.

Gaming Industry News: Key Developments in the Last 24 Hours

In the ever-evolving world of gaming, several significant events have unfolded in the last 24 hours, ranging from regulatory issues to corporate strategies, and unexpected challenges for some of the biggest names in the industry.

First, Merkur Slots UK, a major player in the UK’s gaming sector, has faced a hefty fine of nearly £100,000 for failing to protect a vulnerable gambler. The Gambling Commission penalized the company for allowing Wendy Hughes, a 64-year-old cancer patient, to lose almost £2,000 without staff intervention. This incident sheds light on the need for better oversight and protection for individuals who may be susceptible to gambling addiction. It’s a reminder that gaming regulators must stay vigilant in safeguarding players, particularly those who may be more vulnerable to the risks associated with gambling.

On the corporate front, AppLovin, a mobile advertising giant, has experienced a remarkable surge in its stock price, up by 29.2%. This increase follows the announcement of the sale of its mobile gaming business for a hefty $900 million and its plans to focus on AI-driven advertising. AppLovin’s bold move to leverage artificial intelligence aims to personalize advertising experiences for users, and analysts believe this will fuel its growth moving forward. Despite the sale of its gaming business, the company remains optimistic about its future, projecting strong revenue figures for the upcoming quarter.

However, not all news in the gaming world is as positive. Crytek, the developer behind the iconic Crysis franchise, has hit a major roadblock. The company has announced that it’s halting development on Crysis 4 due to financial instability, resulting in the layoff of around 15% of its workforce. Despite the setback, Crytek is focusing on its hit multiplayer game Hunt: Showdown to weather the storm. This news is a reminder that even well-established companies can face turbulence in an unpredictable industry.

Another key topic affecting the gaming world is the potential impact of U.S. tariffs on the production of gaming consoles and related accessories. Recently, President Donald Trump’s administration imposed a 10% tariff on goods imported from China, a move that could significantly affect the gaming industry, particularly for console makers like Sony and Nintendo. While the direct consequences on upcoming consoles such as the Nintendo Switch 2 are still unclear, industry experts predict that the tariffs could lead to higher costs for both manufacturers and consumers.

Finally, there’s some good news for Sony’s PlayStation business. The company reported a record-breaking sales quarter for its PS5 console during the holiday period. Along with strong hardware sales, Sony also hit an all-time high in Monthly Active Users (MAUs) on PlayStation, indicating strong engagement within its ecosystem. This success highlights the growing demand for next-gen gaming consoles and the power of the PlayStation brand in a highly competitive market.

In conclusion, the gaming industry is experiencing a whirlwind of developments. From corporate restructuring and innovation in AI to challenges like tariff impacts and regulatory fines, it’s clear that the sector remains dynamic and multifaceted. Whether you're a gamer, developer, or investor, staying informed on these shifts is crucial to understanding the landscape of the gaming world.
