idea: video game series that goes backward a console generation with each new release

so if the first game comes out on switch, the second would be on wii u, the third on wii, fourth on gamecube, fifth on n64, sixth on snes, and seventh on nes (which would have to be the last entry)

they're still useful because they're better than silicon mosfets in terms of having both high blocking voltage and high current capacity

now we have SiC mosfets that can replace IGBTs in most if not all applications, but they're still much more expensive and it's still a developing technology, they only became commercially viable about five to ten years ago

IGBTs really suck for what they're used for

they're really slow and have really high on-state loss

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=61Vyi3Gi5dE this uses a neat way to emulate the sound of a bass guitar (starting about 2 minutes in)

every note is preceded by like 1 frame of noise, which gives a feeling of like, fingers rubbing against the string before it's properly plucked

apparently medieval people thought that peasants ate poor-quality food because 1) they preferred it and 2) high quality food would be literally poisonous to them

last wednesday's xkcd is just us https://xkcd.com/2621/

like all the famous people we do know, we know for weird reasons

like, apparently steward copeland was part of a really popular musical group but we know him as the guy who composed spyro's soundtrack

and one of the examples in the comic itself--we know david bowie as the guy from labyrinth, but i know he was a really popular musician too

jrpgs were still really big in that time period, the psx and ps2 had a ton, so it's not just a lack of games

did nintendo have policies at the time that limited them somehow? i know tthey were not on good terms with squaresoft at the time
-F

why are there so few rpgs on the gamecube and n64

the wii didn't have a lot either but it feels like it had at least a few dozen, pretty sure the gcn and n64 had less than ten each. maybe less than ten combined
